Hi vanover7,
It sounds as if when you connect your iPad to your computer it does not show up in iTunes, is that correct?
Please use the steps in this article to troubleshoot the issue -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?
For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions. -
I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files? Does using time machine mean that that partition is no longer able to be used as it used to be?
HDD is a Toshiba 1TB, partitioned into two 500GB partitions.
OS X version 10.9.2Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the IPad to the IPhone and not the other way around.
The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past. I have tried a hard reset but it still cannot find the printer.
In addition to rebooting the router and the iPad, I would reset the printer as well. Unplug the printer from power and do the same with the router. Leave the router unplugged for about 30 seconds. Plug the router in first and let it totally start up, plug the printer in again, and then reboot/reset the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. Your WiFi passwords, location services, device preferences all have to be re-entered. You will not lose any data or media whatsoever. -

Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.

Just bought a new imac and tried to download all my music from my iPod but it only allow me to download purchased items and not the rest of stuff stored on a previous pc itunes folder. How do I get round this ?
The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
See "External Drive" in this article-> iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer -
My new HK iPhone will not download apps purchased in U.S. and says I need an HK Apple ID. This creates a second Apple ID and I am concerned that I will have to pay twice for the same app.
Apps previously purchased will continue to operate wherever you are. However; you'll not be able to update them other than by using the original purchase details. What this means is that you can only 'purchase' from a country's store if you have a valid credit card and residence of and in that country.

I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?
If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.

I dropped my iphone and not the scrren but the upper black part cracked????
I dropped my iphone and not the screen but the upper black part of the phone cracked.... how do i get that fixed???? anyone please just let me know
Yes, I'm sure I know what I'm talking about. Please note the next line in the iPhone Service FAQ:
"Service may not be available if your iPhone has been damaged due to accident or abuse. "
and later down the page:
"Apple reserves the right to refuse service on iPhones that are outside their warranty period if damage has occurred due to accident, abuse, or misuse. In such event, Apple will return your original iPhone to you without performing service, and may hold you responsible for diagnostic fees. "
So again, the OP may not be able to get a dropped iPhone repaired, though calling Apple is the only way he/she will know for sure.

Ever since ICloud, my local Itunes library has been poluted with old music that I got rid of a long time ago.
I purchased an album from the Itunes Store App on my Iphone, listened to all the songs and decided I don't like all of them but some of them. So I went on my laptop and the album I purchased loaded into Itunes. I manually deleted the content I didn't want from my Itunes library. Once my library was set the way I wanted, I wanted my Itunes library synced into my Iphone, but instead, my Iphone's content gets re-synced back into my Itunes library and the content I once deleted tries to re-download.
It's agrivating that what was once an easy automated process is now a slow agonzing manual process. I'm considering getting rid of my phone if I can't find a remedy for this, which is the only apple product I now own.
I don't want ICloud to auto download content
I don't mind streaming the old music on my Iphone but I DO NOT want it downloaded into my phone or into my library. I like to keep ICloud and my Itunes Library seperate.
I just want to click "Sync" on Itunes, and my phone syncs EXACTLY how my Itunes library is.
Please help...Backup, then restore the iPhone without syncing. Only the content currently in your library can be restored back to it.
Turn off all options in iTunes and on the device for automatic downloading of purchases.
In principle purchases made on the device are copied into the iTunes library when syncing. This ensures that you have the media ready to place back on it or a replacement should the device be lost, stolen, damaged, or need restoring, When you want to remove content either delete it manually from both the device & the library at the same time, or uncheck it within the library so that it is removed from the device during sync, then remove from the library later.

As stated in the question, I have no idea whether it's a problem with my USB cord, my computer, or itouch. If it helps any, there is a small scrape on the metal part of my USB on the itouch side, but it's a pretty insignificant mark.
Try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would also try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod/cable or computer problem.
There can be a cable problem since different conductors are used for charging and syncing.
