Ipad mini not connnecting to windows 7

My new ipad mini is not being recognized by my Windows 7 computer when plugged into the USB port. I have tried turning the ipad mini of and on, but it still does not see it. Please advise.

If you are still having problems after all those tips I would suggest trying another cable the one you have may be faulty. An iPhone cable is fine for sync, but wouldn't suggest it for charging. Other than that call apple support, log a problem, and most likely they will help you book a appointment at an apple store.
I use a win7 64x machine and have no problems so I doubt windows is your issue.
Good luck.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

  • IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

    Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)?  Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac.  Software updates both report: "up to date"

    Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

  • Ipad mini (not retina) purchase question

    Hi, If I bought an ipad mini from an apple store tomorrow (not the retina one), would it come with ios6 pre installed?

    No way to know for certain.  Apple.com shows the ipad mini (not retina) as having ios 7.  If you are purchasing from a retail store, it will depend on if the device has been upgraded yet.

  • Video Podcasts Not Syncing From my iPad Mini to iTunes for Windows

    Hello all.  I have the iPad Mini, and recently have been downloading my Podcasts there.
    It occurred to me that in case something happens to my iPad, I should have my Podcasts backed up to my computer.  So, i downloaded iTunes for Windows on my computer.  I plugged my iPad Mini into my computer and synced it, so that my Podcasts would sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library.
    I noticed that all of my podcasts did sync, except for the 3 video podcasts I have.  None of the video podcasts synced.
    Anyone know how I can get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library?
    Thank you in advance!

    Just wanted to kick my question back up. to see if anyone had any idea how to get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to iTunes on my computer.
    Audio podcasts seem to be syncing fine.  Just the video podcasts are not.
    Thanks.

  • IPad mini not recognised by iTunes after updating to iTunes 11.1. All other devices are recognised...

    After upgrading to ios 7, adn iTunes 11, I had some problems with both airplay and having my ios devices not recognised by iTunes. After a few fixes (re-installing Apple Mobile Device support ) manually, all is now looking good, apart from my iPad mini.
    Windows recognises it when I plug it into any of the USB pports on my PC, however iTunes does not see it. The device is recognised by iTunes onother windows and Mac computers I have.
    Is it posible to isolate which driver is being used by the mini, and uinistall it? I guess that if Windows sees the device as a "new one", it will re-install the device driver, and probably fix this issue.

    Hey there BeakyGB,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Great troubleshooting done so far. I would next try this article named:

  • Why itunes cannot recognise my ipad mini retina ios7 on windows 7 64-bit?

    I have recently bought an iPad mini with retina display - iOS 7 and when I connect it to my computer, there are several problems:
    1. iTunes does not recognise it. At times I do get an error displayed that it is not able to connect to the device.
    2. the iPad display says it is not able to charge from the computer USB.
    I have had problems before with this computer and my iPhone 4S as well as my new 5S.
    It was always able to resolve it by reinstalling the driver and or following the instructions to reinstall iTunes.
    I have tried all of that several times now and it is simply unable to recognise it. I can open it on My Computer, which means I can download the pictures of the iPad, but I can't put music and other items on it. And I cannot make a backup of the apps that I have installed etc.
    Any suggestions? I have had for a week now and have not been able to successfully connect even once!
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, desktop PC
    iTunes 11.1.3
    iOS 7.0.4
    I would also like to configure it for wifi synching but that is only possible if I manage to connect it successfully via the cable at least once.
    Note: the cable is the original cable and I tried it with my iPhone 5S cable as well (just in case it's the cable). Also tried every one of my 6 USB ports on the desktop (4 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0).
    I'm at wits end. Please help!

    Hi. I just solved this problem by seeing another post here. Take a picture withe ipad's camera and then my computer and itunes immediately recognizes it.

  • IPad mini not charging. Please help. :-/

    Hey there,
    I just purchased an iPad mini and I plugged it into my windows laptop (Toshiba) for the first time. I was able to sync it up with my iTunes and everything without a problem. But then I noticed that on my actual iPad mini where it shows the energy level on the upper right hand side, it says "Not Charging." And this is while my iPad IS plugged into my laptop. So it should be charged. Is there something in the settings or in iTunes that I have to do in order to get my iPad mini to charge right? Thanks for any help you can give me. I appreciate it.

    Thanks for the tip deggie. I tried that. I don't think that's the issue. I have an iPhone 5 that uses the same USB port on my laptop and my iPhone 5 charges from there normally without a problem. I also should mention that I tried charging my iPad mini using the A/C adaptor and it was charging fine. So I'm not sure why my iPad mini is refusing to charge off my laptop. So confusing....

  • Ipad mini not activating

    My ipad mini which was working fine until yesterday has stopped working this morning. It says it cannot connect to server and activate. My apple id and password I entered are correct. I had upgraded to ios 7 a week ago. How do I fix this? The ipad is not usable now.

    If you were on iOS7 beta, then it looks like the beta version has expired on you. You have to upgrade to the latest release version to get it working again.
    Go here: https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
    Once there, download the latest version for your device and install the update the iPad. iTunes will not do this automatically, but if you do the following steps (after downloading) you should be good.
    Plug iPad into your computer where you downloaded the latest release (7.0.2 at time of this post)
    Open iTunes and click on the button in the upper right of the app for your iPad
    Hold option (mac) or shift (windows) and click on Check for Updates. This will bring up a browse dialog.
    Find the .ipsw file named something like this: iPad2,5_7.0.2_11A501_Restore.ipsw
    Follow prompts to update and activate your iPad.
    You should be back to normal at that point.
    Apple will expire developer versions to make sure people are not using old versions for testing or development.
    Hope this helps!
