Ipad icon disappears after intial detection on itunes

When I plug in my iPad2 to my iMac, it is intially detected and you can see the ipad icon on the right side of the window. It freezes then disappears. I am unable to sync. This just started happening today. I have checked and have all the latest versions of the iOS on my iPad and Iphone5 and the latest version of iTunes on the iMac. iPhone 5 is syncing fine. When I plug in both, iTunes recognises 2 devices but then, only iPhone icon remains. I have rebooted both my iMac and my iPad and switched off Homesharing and then switched it on again. I'm still having the same problem. Would appreciate any help.

You don't specifically say if you are using Windows or Mac so here are links for both.

Find my friends Icon disappeared after upgrade to ios 8. I tried restarting as well as reinstalled the app but its not working. I can find it in Usage, but not in spot light. Pla help!!

I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

Here comes the/my solution:
Remove Sophos Antivirus
Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
- Dock
- Language has been reset to English only
- Expose & Spaces
(- probably all personal settings?)

Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

Ipad icon disappears when I click it

Brand new iPad. When I connect to Windows 7 PC with updated iTunes, the iPad icon appears in iTunes but disappears immediately when I click it.

I am using a PC with Windows 7. I've installed iTunes 11 and have iOS 6.1.3 on my phone.

Airplay icon disappears after I click 'Play'

My Airplay icon disappears from my iTunes window whenever I click play. I usually stream music from iTunes on my Mac Book Air to an Airport Express connected to my stereo. It's been about a week since I last played music to the stereo, and I can't get it to work.
Symptoms:
- When I click 'play' in iTunes main window, the Airplay icon disappears.
- 'Remote' will not play to the Express. The icon also disappears from view after clicking play.
- If I switch to the mini-player after launching iTunes, I can play to the Express. Returning to main window and clicking play causes icon to disappear. Quitting ater selecting Airplay from mini player and relaunching iTunes has no effect; the icon disappears from main view once I click play.
Things I've tried:
- Soft restart on base station and express
- Pulled the plug from base station and express, waited a few minutes, then powered up
- turned 'Enable Airplay' off (update), then on again (second update) on the express
- Restarted my Mac
- Turned on/off home sharing in iTunes
- Cursed and listened to local radio stations
Software/Hardware:
Mac OSX 10.9.2
iTunes 11.1.5 (5) 64bit
Airport Utility 6.3.2
Mid-2011 MacBook Air 11", i7
Airport Extreme (2007/8?)
Airport Express (bought 12/13)

Hi Griff, thanks for the links.
I started my day this morning by shutting down my MBA for a few minutes. This seems to have fixed the problem. Because the previous restarts didn't have an effect, I'm wondering if the cause may have been related to a hardware cache (?) of some sort. I've been using screen shares (Skype, WebEx, GoToMeeting) alot recently, which may have something ot do with this. I read elsewhere that the disappearing icon is frequently related to a network problem.
In anycase, I can listen to *my* music tongiht.

HT2463 Air Play icon disappears after a few seconds of opening ports in router settings.

The AIr Play icon no longer consistently appears on my iMac or my iPad. Apple TV is 3rd gen, iPad is 4th gen, iMac is latest (2012) router being used is Linksys (Cisco) E3000. Opened TCP ports 123, 3689, and UDP 5353, and after saving the router settings, the Air Play icon appeared on iPad but disappeared again after less than a minute. The Air Play also appeared on my iMac and when I clicked the rainbow wheel appeared and after less than a minte the Air Play icon vanished again. I have performed restores of the AppleTV both by using the iMac with a micro USB and also did a restore while connected to the television. Any other suggestions before I take it into the local Apple store? Thanks.

I set an appointment at local Apple store Genius bar. The tech helped walk through and eliminate possible variables until we agreed it must be a problem with my router. BTW, the tech hooked up my Apple TV at the store and it worked perfectly using the Apple store network. I went home and restored my router to the factory default (like out of the box when it was new) and re-set it up. When I finished my Apple TV has been displaying the AirPlay icon flawlessly. Hopeful it will continue, but resetting one's router to factory defaults may fix your problem if you are expeiencing same issue when the AirPlay icon goes missing.

Badge icon disappears after 2.0 Update

After installing the Podcasts 2.0 update I noticed that the badge icon for the number of unread podcasts had disappeared. I am an experienced iPhone user and went through the normal trouble shooting steps of syncing, uninstalling an reinstalling, but the bange icon always disappears after applicaton of the Podcasts 2.0 update.
Has anybody elso noticed this behavior?

yeah an option would be good.
i'm still not sure myself whether this is intentional or a bug. especially as if you go in to the app and mark a podcast episode as played then go back to the full episode list again and then go back and mark the same one again as unplayed, then exit the app, it then shows that change on the badge app icon count, which as it's not a recent download but just recently marked as unplayed does seem a little buggy to me.

Can't airplay movies - icon disappears when movie starts in iTunes

Hi guys. Had this problem for a little while now. I'm running iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 and an Apple TV in another room. I've had no problems until recently. Anything but movies will play perfectly to the Apple TV. But the second I start a movie, the icon disappears, and iTunes starts acting like there's suddenly no Apple TV. Then when I exit the movie the icon reappears as quick as it went. Even for example I would go from streaming music perfectly, straight into playing a movie. Still the same. No amount of restarts or re-installations on both devices has solved the problem yet.

Audio CD disappears after confirming impoty into iTunes

Setup:
Hardware: New Macbook Pro 15"
Software: Preinstalled software no modifications or additions solely upgrades.
When I try to import a CD into iTunes the following occurs:
1 The CD is displayed on the Desktop as Audio CD.
2 iTunes queries Gracenote and downloads the track details which flash up in iTunes.
3 The Audio CD icon disappears from the desktop and cannot be seen as mounted in either Finder or iTunes.
4 I press the eject button, eject the CD, push the CD back into the computer and the second time the Audio CD icon remains and the tracks can be imported. This is extremely easy to reproduce as it happens every time.
I am new to Apple and Mac OS X but this appears to be a possible bug. I am a systems developer on Linux, Unix, Windows .... but I am not familiar with the OS X API's or kernel. It appears that the automounting of the CD is not working.
I looked at the system.log in /var/log and kept seeing the following call fail.
/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes(1959) StatusMonitor::volumesChangedCallBack returned -47
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Deb,
Just to clarify the "Superdrive" thing:
All optical drives that can burn to DVD, installed as original equipment in Macs, are called "Superdrives".
The name covers a multitude of different drives installed over the years. Many of them, in fact, aren't all that "super". They often have downtuned firmware installed by Apple that actually reduces their capabilities by limiting burn speeds or compatible media types etc. Most have actually been either Matshita (ie Panasonic) or Optiarc (Sony NEC) or , less frequently, Pioneer drives in recent times.
Your Matshita UJ-845 is a "superdrive", as is the Matshita UJ-857E in the MBP I'm typing this on , too.
Apple installed drives which can read DVD's , but only burn to CD-R, are called "combo" drives. Again they can be from various manufacturers and have come as a vast array of models, speeds, etc over the years.
Cheers
Rod

Ipad and Iphone will not detect via Itunes

Ok here is the issue,
I have IPhone 4 Verizon and Ipad 2 3g Verizon.
My Ipad2 screen broke and I received a warranty Ipad 2 but my Dellinspiron with the Intel 3400 chip will not detect on iTunes.
Windows 7 see it and I can pull photos off. I worked with Apple onissue and at store with 10 reps. my old I pad detects just fine and my IPhone but any other
IPhone or I pad will not detect. I have tried and wiped ITunes, QuickTimeect ect and even went into registry and deleted all files and still same issue.
It’s boiling down to the Intel chip 3200 and its almost lookingfor a certain IPhone or I pad and will not detect any other but original phoneor pad.
If anyone is experiencing a similar issue let me know. I have been allthe way up the ladder at both apple and dell and still the issue looms.
Thanks
Phil
If any other info is needed let me know. I have both the diagnostic test for my laptop and itunes.
I can post diagnostic from CPU if needed.

This is reported quite often.. more often the iphone than the ipad.
Reset the TC and do the setup again. This time setup wireless manually.. use no spaces and only alphanumeric characters in any name and password.. TC name, wireless name, wireless password tc password if you set one.
Set wireless to manual not auto, and give 5ghz a different name.
Set channels.. this is the important part for iphone as it can only use 2.4ghz.. so set channel 1, 6, 11 in turn. These are the only non-overlapping channels.
Set wpa2 security.
You should be able to get the iphone to connect.. if not remove the security until you do and try again.

My iPad contacts disappeared after adding a contact

My IPad 2 contacts just disappeared after adding a contact. What will I do aside from syncing? Are there any other solutions?

Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

Itunes icon disappeared after installing itunes 10.2

After installing 10.2, the itunes circular blue icon no longer appeared on my desktop. However, there was an icon like the NIB in its place. Now I cannot open itunes at all. Please help.

Restore that backup you take regularly... Ah, OK.
*Empty library after upgrade/crash*
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename *iTunes Library* as *iTunes Library (Empty)* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See Music Folder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for clean-up tools , if required.
