IPad is not detected by iTunes when connected to desktop

When I connect the iPad to the Windows desktop, the iTunes app usually opens up automatically.  It does however not connect with iTunes when connected any more.
When I connect the iPad to the desktop, I am able to access the pictures though windows explorer but iTunes still does not detect the iPad?
I have swithced the iPad off and on again.
Any suggestions?

  • IPad does not detected by iTunes on Updated Windows 7

    Hi All,
    Since i updated my MS Windows 7 with the latest patches, my iPad can not detected by iTunes on my PC.
    The USB ports on my PC were fine, the peripheral (eksternal HDD; USB Flash disk; Printer) still working fine.
    The USB sinc cable data is also working fine when i charge the iPad directly from wall mounth port.
    Do you have a same experience?
    Please advise....
    Thanks and regards

    Folks,
    I had this problem with my PC (windows 7, 64-bit) and my iPad. After messing with it for a long time, I finally found the answer (bad USB driver). The following two step process should help resolve these kinds of problems more quickly.
    The first step is to verify that the iPad (or iPhone) is really connected to your computer. This can be (really) checked using a program called USBDeview. You can get this (very small) program from http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html or http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Don't worry, it's not Spyware or Malware.
    Just run the program and sort on the 'Connected' column. If your iPad or iPhone doesn't show up as Yes (under 'Connected') then your iDevice is not properly connected to your computer. Could be a cable problem. Could be an iDevice problem. Could be a USB hub problem. Note that your iDevice might be listed as what it is (iPad or iPhone) or it might be listed as 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the 'Description' column.
    Apple has a number of ideas to resolve this sort of basic connectivity issue, including switching USB ports, resetting your iDevice, rebooting your iDevice, rebooting your computer, etc. You will need to try them until your iDevice shows up in USBDeview as 'Yes' under Connected.
    If you iDevice shows up as 'Yes' under connected, it should also be visible in the Device Manager (found in the Windows 7 Control Panel under Hardware and Sound). You might find it under Portable Devices or it might be under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    The iDevice may or may not show up in the Windows Explorer. On some machines it does, on others it does not. Why is not clear.
    If the Idevice is properly known to Windows and iTunes can't see it, then any number of other things could be wrong. Apple has a list. See the very useful page over at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. Testing shows that the Apple Mobile Device service must be running. Check this using Task Manager (started by right clicking the taskbar). Note that the iPod service and the iphlpsvc service must also be running. These services have different names under the Processes table versus the Services tab of Task Manager.
    AppleMobileDeviceService.exe - Apple Mobile Device
    iPodService.exe                     - iPod Service
    ItunesHelper.exe                    - iphlpsvc
    Step 4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 checks if the Apple Mobile Device USB is installed. This is essential and a common source of problems. In at least some cases, Windows will install the 'MTP USB' driver. Indeed, Windows will reinstall this driver if you uninstall it. The MTP USB driver is essentially a Windows bug (possibly caused by Microsoft). You MUST replace the MTP USB driver with the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Step 4 explains how to do this. Note that you MUST use the 'Have Disk' approach. Otherwise, Windows will just reinstall the invalid MTP driver.
    The Apple doc indicates that you can find the correct driver at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. Perhaps this is correct on some systems. You may find the correct driver in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    iTunes could make this a lot easier by checking if the iDevice is known to Windows (what USBDevier does) and if the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is properly installed for the iDevice. Sadly it doesn't perform either check. Note that iTunes does if some of the related services (see above) are actually running.

  • Nano 3rd will not unlock and is not visible in iTunes when connected to computer.

    My 3rd Gen Nano is stuck in locked position with the screen lit.  Additionally it does not show up on the computer or in iTunes when connected.  I can't restart or repair myself.  I suspect the locked switch may be broken.  Any ideas?

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
    Still no joy? See these.

  • IPhone does not appear in iTunes when connected

    After installing new iTunes update, my phone is no longer recognized when I attempt to sync and has been running very very low lately.  HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks to recmd for directing me to the solution for iTunes not "seeing" my iPhone!!
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11761418?messageID=11761418 is the link, but I will recap it here:
    Win XP machines that are seeing the iPhone as a camera or portable drive, but not showing in iTunes should do this - takes 5 minutes!!
    Connect iPhone
    Open Control Panel
    double click on System
    choose Hardware tab
    click Device Manager
    find iPhone - probably under Imaging Devices
    right click iPhone
    choose Properties
    click driver tab
    choose Update Driver
    select "Install from list or specific location" and click Next
    choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click next
    there should be 2 drivers listed; highlight Apple Mobile Device driver
    click ok
    iPhone should now connect
    close out of Device Manager and Control Panel
    open iTunes and see your iPhone appear!!
    You may have to do this with all phones that you sync.
    Hope this helps - it worked for the phones in our family!

  • Iphone does not appear in itunes when connected to XP computer

    I have the latest version of itunes and iphone software. When I connect my iphone 3GS through a USB to my computer (windows XP), the computer recognises the device as a hard drive in "my computer" and I can import photos. However Itunes when opened up no longer recognises the phone and so I cannot sync or set parameters etc. This has happened with my childrens ipods as well on a different XP computer. I have used several usb leads but same problem. Any ideas? Many thanks.  Mark

    Sounds like a ruined iTunes install iTunes require a number of services running if an overzealosch firewall or rights settings or "optimisme" program stopped any of those what you exp happens

  • Not automatically opening iTunes when connected

    I used to connect my iTouch to my computer and iTunes would automatically open, now it doesn't. The only preference I see that would do it is when I connect the iTouch and manually open iTunes then I see my iTouch under Devices and I click Summary and under options I check "open iTunes when this iPod is connected" yet it doesn't open when I connect. Any ideas? Version 4.3.5 30 GB - iTunes version 10.4.1

    Found the answer. It's a slight variation on a post from a few years ago on the same problem. Go to the iTunes application - right click - go to show package content - then contents and instead of going down to resourses go to MacOS folder and then go to iTunesHelper and drag it over to the login items in the accounts area in your system preferences. It worked for me so far.

  • My iphone isnt wrking at all but it si getting detected by itunes when connected to pc

    pls guide me

    Please define "inst wrking at all". If it's being detected by iTunes, then it is powered on and functioning, at least to some degree. Is there anything on the screen at all? Try looking at it under very bright light or direct sunlight. If the backlight has failed, the display may be very difficult to see.

  • Not detecting tv display when connected with Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapte

    I am connecting my macbook to my older tv using a Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter to an RCA (yellow video prong) and then into the tv. The red and white audio prongs hang loose, not hooked into anything on both ends. When I go into Displays there is no option for mirroring displays. I hit 'detect displays' but nothing happens. The Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter is brand new, just ordered it from apple. And I use the RCA cord all the time with other machines into my tv and it works fine.
    Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

    Which generation MacBook do you have because at some point Apple dropped support for that adapter. Here is a link to a list of Apple adapters and compatible computer models:
