  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Ipad mini not recognised by Mac Pro (OSX 10.6.4)

    I have an ipad mini (6.1.3) I have connected it to my Mac Pro (OSX 10.6.4) via the thunderbolt/USB lead supplied. The device is not recognised in the finder or in itunes, though it does charge via this port. Is this an issue with my OS version? My itunes version? Is there a simple fix?

    An iPad isn't designed to mount as a drive in Finder, it should only appear in iTunes and (if you have photos on the iPad that were taken with it, copied it to it via camera kit, saved from emails/websites) then it should also appear in iPhoto, Image Capture and Aperture so that you can copy them off.
    But I think that you need iTunes 10.7+ to sync an iPad Mini running iOS 6, which I think requires OS X 10.6.8+

  • Ipod not recognised by Windows - need urgent help!

    Just bought my Ipod Mini. Found out that Ipod is not recognised by Windows because Ipod is configured for Mac...
    Restoring to factory settings not possible because Windows does not see the Ipod. What can I do?
    laptop   Windows XP  

    First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
    iPods come pre-formatted for Mac, so you will need to format it for Windows.
    See this article to verify its format: How to determine iPod's hard disk format.
    Make sure that you have the latest iPod Updater software
    - Download the Update Installer to your PC (do not run it from the web site).
    - Place the file on the Desktop, or in a Folder you can remember/find.
    - You also need to install the Updater software by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
    - After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
    - After rebooting, run the Updater.
    --- Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
    - It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
    - Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
    --- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version and format (erase) your iPod's hard drive.

  • 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.

    Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
    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.

    Same as, although a new development on this last night, I borrowed a mates USB hub that has it's own mains power supply and for a short time my laptop recognised my IPOD, I obviously thought i had found the solutions as it started to sync at which point the smug smile left my face as i could smell burning plastic. Yep, the usb cable was melting in to the USB hub. so not only won't the sodding thing work properly it is a god **** fire hazard. Luckily our producst that cost hundreds of pounds are supported by friendly and helpful people at Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Oh and i downloaded itunes 7.6 last night and nothing.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Shuffle is not recognised by Windows or iTunes on first installation

    Hi
    Just got an Ipod shuffle, which was marked down in price due to missing ear phones. Tried the installation software but when asked to connect shuffle to check to see if it needs formating did so, and the shuffle is not recognised by windows or the installer software.
    Tried to go through apple chat, but when prompted for S/N it says that my shuffle was registered in Aug 2005 and not valid for chat support anymore. I suspect that the shuffle is returned goods and that it may already be registered to another user. Would this stop my computer recognising it?
    Have downloaded updater and run that, same result.
    OS is Windows XP Pro
    USB port confirmed working
    Itunes 6.0.4.2
    Ipod Nano running okay on same machine.
    Ipod Shuffle is only showing constant green light when plugged into USB port (showing that it is at least getting power)
    Any ideas, there seem to be similar threads to this so is it a common problem.
    thanks
