Ipad mini is not recognized by iTunes 11 on Mac with 10.6.8

I want to synch music in iTunes that was ripped from CDs to an ipad mini but when I connect the ipad shows in devices but is grey and at that point iTunes is frozen, iPhoto opens and the pics on the mini are displayed  so the mini is being recognized as a camera, I close iPhoto and iTunes works if I disconnect the mini, I did the trouble shooting, updates and reboot of both Mac and mini, what else can I try?

  • IPad 3 is not recognized by iTunes

    iPad 3 is not recognized by iTunes
    I have gone through the Apple support website which has instructed me to do many things like try different USB ports to unstall and update iTunes, even install updated drivers. However, nothing has work up to this point. The advice that I am looking for now is (1) am I missing something obvious here? (2) Do I need to send it in for repair or something?
    Thanks

  • Why iPhone 4s and iPad 2 mini are not recognized by iTune.

    I have and iPhone 4s and a iPad 2 mini who have been upgraded to iOS 7.1.1 both and now that i want to sync them to my computer who is running windows 7 premium family edition, they are not recognized. I get this when i plug in my phone or pad ( this iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed.

  • New iPad mini is not recognized by my Mac.  Is asking for an iTunes update to 10.7, but Mac says system is up to date at the iTunes version we have.  iPad mini just not recognized without the updated iTunes,  HELP

    The kids have 3 new iPad minis for Xmas, but our Mac will not recognize the devices when we connect the minis to it.  The Mac/iPad says it needs a newer version of iTunes, but the Mac says that it has the latest version of iTunes. The kids can't transfer their music, books, photos, etc from the Mac, where everything is centrally stored, to their new minis. :(. Can any one help?

    What itunes version do you have?
    What Mac OS version do you have?
    From the ipad mini box and web page:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

  • My iPad mini will not connect to iTunes

    Hello I have an iPad mini with current 7.0.2 iOS but now I cannot connect to either App Store or iTunes. When I try it just says cannot connect to iTunes. I know it's not my account since I run the same one on my iPhone and it's fine and operating normally.

    Used iTunes to download 6.1.2 to the iPad Mini.  It then worked for (app store and all) for 3 hours.  Then wifi stopped working at all.  Hurray!

  • Not recognized by iTunes or Windows with 3 Orange blinks

    I got the iPod shuffle(2nd generation) in Feb. It had been working fine - I've updated and used it several times. Then one day while I was listening to it, it stopped working. I went home a put it on the dock and my windows or iTunes didn't recognize it. I also am getting three continuous orange blinks. I've tried a few things, but I don't know how to get it to work if my computer isn't even recognizing it? PLEASE HELP!

    If the iPod is not recognized by the computer or iTunes, try using the iPod Reset Utility.

    If that does not restore the iPod and it's less than one year old, you can get it replaced under warranty.

  • My Iphone 4 only charges when is switched off and it's not recognized by Itunes and Mac

    Hello guys!! Please help me if someone knows what should I do. My iphone was working perfectly so far but a couple of days ago it stopped charging, its not charging neither with the a/c adapter and with the usb through my pc. It says device not recognized.. Today I had my iphone switched off and tried to see if it was charging and actually it was! But it didn't show that it was actually charging (the battery icon with the bolt didnt appear..but after 3 hours it was fully charged..but this happens only when its switched off..so i cant connect on itunes and i cant charge it while its turned on!! If someone knows please help!!!!!
    I tried different cables and different computers and nothing. I can't restore because it's no recognized...
    Thanks a lot!!

    So finally i turned off and after a while i realized the phone was fully charged, at least i found a temporary solution to this problem but its really anoying to switch off to charge the phoen, if you solve this problem please let us know, apple should fix this problem.
    As you can see there is no charging logo when the phone is connected

  • Ipad mini is not charging anymore, what is wrong with it?

    i tried plugging in my ipad mini, and it doesn't charge anymore, i tried plugging it in the wall i got nothing and also my computer. Could there be something wrong with the cord?

    Most computer USB ports do not prove enough power to charge your iPad efficiently so don't bother with that.
    Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. If the iPad does not charge the problem lies in one of these areas:
    1. The outlet is not supplying power
    2. The cord is not plugged in correctly at one or both ends.
    3. The cord is defective. You might try a friends cord to see if that makes a difference.
    4. The charger is defective. Try borrowing one from a friend to test that.
    5. The plug on your iPad has dirt or debris in it.
    6. There is a hardware failure in your iPad.
    For any of these items you cannot test yourself I suggest making an appointment at an Apple store to have your iPad, cable and charger looked at.

  • IPad Air 2 not recognized by iTunes

    Hi guys.
    I bought an iPad Air 2 64GB WiFi+Cellular the day before yesterday. So far, I haven't been able to get it to show up in iTunes. Neither on my laptop (Sony Vaio S, 2011) nor on my workstation (custom built, brand new). Both machines run Windows 7 Home 64 bit. iTunes was not installed on my workstation until yesterday, so it's the latest version. I also updated it on the laptop, and later uninstalled every bit of Apple software and did a clean re-install.
    The iPad shows both under "Devices and Printers" and the "Device Manager" as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". When I connect it, I get the "Trust this Computer" message - every time. I hit "Trust", the prompt disappears, and nothing else happens. Next time I plug it in, the prompt reappears. Whatever I do, the device doesn't show in iTunes, the diagnostics say "No iPhone, iPod or iPad found". (Sorry for the screenshots all being in German, but you'll be able to understand them, I think ;-) )
    I re-installed the drivers repeatedly. I "untrusted" all computers by resetting the security settings on the iPad. None of the official support threads seem to apply, because they all seem to be dealing with the device not being recognized by Windows itself, or a faulty drivers installation, none of which is (or seems to be) the case here. I restarted the tablet while it was connected to the PC. I tried every single USB port I was able to find. :-) This is my first Apple device (not counting a 2nd gen iPod nano, which connects fine, by the way) and it's not off to a good start, I'm afraid.
    Any ideas? Thanks.
    Jules

    Usually, with a window's computer, all you need to do is uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile device service, Apple Application support then restart your computer and reinstall iTunes and plug your device in and it updates the drivers and works.
    But it sounds like you've done that.
    You could try to poke around in your firewall or antivirus settings, see if that software is blocking the iPad. The only other thing I can think of is to try another cable. I don't think you've done that.
    When you uninstall, how do you do it? I suggest that people go in through the control panel and uninstall there via the add/remove program interface.
