IPad no longer recognized

1st gen iPad not recognized by either computer after upgrading to iTunes 10.5.
One is XP 32-bit and other is Win7 64-bit.
Any solutions?

I have tried all the steps I have found in similar discussions including removing every last trace of Apple software from my system and restarting. Used a known good cable hooked directly to motherboard USB ports. All Windows updates and hardware drivers are updated.  Windows still doesn't recognize the device. Manually selecting the driver results in an "unable to start (code 10)" every time. The iPad synced fine on my laptop until the iTunes 10.5 upgrade. But now works neither on it or the new desktop I just built.

  • IPad no longer recognized by any computer after 4.2.1 update

    Hi,
    my iPad is no longer recognized by any computer after the 4.2.1 update. It does not show up in iTunes and this even in recovery mode. When connected to charger it does not show that it would charge (but it does). The iPad is still usable except in the iPod app is says "cancelling sync" and does not show any music.
    I already reinstalled iTunes, reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service, used different computers with different OS version, but it does not show up, not even in the system profiler (USB tab).
    Any idea what I should do? I mean it is quite unlikely that there is a hardware issue as the problems appeared right after the 4.2.1 update (from 4.2).
    Thanks in advance

    Yes I know, I already reset like 100 times. Turned off-on...
    I guess a recovery could solve the problem, but how do it if the iPad does not even appear in iTunes. I guess it is somewhat stuck in "cancelling sync" and therefore will not accept an USB connection (the USB port behaves like it is deactivated).

  • My first generation iPad no longer recognized in iTunes, neither via usb nor wi-fi. Did all the steps  recommended in Apple iPad support. Now what?

    My first generation iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes. It just doesn't show up neither via USB nor via wi-fi.
    I've checked the usb connection and cable and its OK.
    I checked that iTunes is up to date on my Mac.
    I reinstalled iTunes on my Mac. 
    I restarted my Mac,
    I've restarted my iPad.
    The iPad has IOS 4.3.1 (8G4) installed. And without the iPad being recognized in iTunes  I can not update the IOS nor apps, nor remove unneeded photos. The iPad is completely filled up, no memory left to allow even updates via cellular or via wi-fi.
    Trying to gain access to update the IOS and to update APPS and to remove the pics I already have backed up and do not need on this iPad locally.
    PS: I even tried to connect the iPad to a different Mac and it was not seen in that iTunes either.
    So, what can I do now?
    Any suggestions besides using it as a paper weight?
    Thanks

  • IPad no longer recognizing CF card through USB port

    I'm a photographer, Using a USB cable to a CF card reader, I can import and view my images via the iPad. This not only is easily done, Lexar's president has a video on Youtube demonstrating this.
    I've used this feature regularly for several events.
    However just recently the iPad has simply stopped recognizing the USB reader and said that there isn't enough power to do this.
    So from 7/4-2010 through Friday,7/23 I was able to import images via this daisylink chain. Then on Saturday 7/24 I was no longer able to do this.
    The iPad does seem to be losing battery power more quickly than when I first got it, so my assumption is that it is a mechanical thing and the iPad battery is defective.
    Any thoughts? Please remember, this function operated smoothly for a month, and is described regularly in another company's marketing materials, and no changes to the iPad have taken place.

    Have you tried making sure the iPad is fully charged before doing this? I suppose so.

  • Unknown Error during Recovery - iPad no longer Recognized by iTunes

    I have a 3rd Generation iPad which I was attempting to perform a factory reset.  I received an "Unknown Error" during the process and from that point on I have been unable to get iTunes to recognize my iPad in recovery mode (or otherwise).
    I have tried every thread on the subject, but I found one interesting thing.  If I connect the iPad with the same cable, etc. to another computer it immediately recognizes it in recovery mode and offers to restore the iPad.
    It seems like my computer is not recognizing the iPad because it was in the process of restoring the device when the error occurred.  Does anyone know if there is a way to reset or fix this issue.  I would prefer not to update iTunes and download both the new iTunes and iPad software again and use another computer if it is not necessary.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey KSHItunes,
    That was a good test to try your iPad on another computer.  It does seem to isolate the issue to something with your computer setup.
    Although you would prefer not to update iTunes, there may be steps in this article which can help.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT4623 my computer backs up my ipad but suddenly the ipad is no any longer  recognized by the computer

    I live in thailand. I back up my 2 Ipads on my computer. Suddenly yesterday the  ipad 3 went blank excpt for the B/White logo on the screen. The ipad is no longer recognized on my computer when I plug it in to my back up computer with the usb connection. Until now the ipad worked perfectly. I have tried to be sure the ipad is charged but i have no way to be sure it is because the screen had nothing on it but the apple logo. I can not try to restore my system because i can not find the ipad3 on my back up computer since the back up computer shows nothing for the ipad 3 and screen on the ipad3 shows nothing to signify but the apple logo. the ipad does not respond to taps etc.
    How can i reactivate the ipad 3? My ipad 1 still works fine.
    my operating system is windows pro

    Have you tried rebooting the computer as well? Shut it totally off, then restart it and try again.If you are already on iOS 6.1.2 as your signature states, the only way to install an update/restore the phone would be to connect it to the PC.

  • Ipad is not recognized on Itunes

    Hello. My ipad is no longer recognized by itunes. I have already re-installed iTunes and updated all my software. On this same computer, my iPhone is recognized by the computer. What can I do? Thank you for your answers

    Start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, restart the Mac and reboot 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, look here for other suggestions.

  • IPad no longer seen by iTunes

    After a problem with my Apple TV (Gen1) that required that I deauthorize /re-authorize my MacBook Pro, my iPad2 no longer will connect by WiFi with iTunes.
    When physically connected, it is seen, appears under Devices, and syncs as expected. Something seems to have corrupted iTunes.
    Any suggestions for restoring the WiFi connectivity would be appreciated!

    You can scan through this article and see if anything in here helps getting the iPad to be recognized again.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Did you try syncing again with the cable and then doing the WiFi sync set up steps all over again? Restart the devices - iPad and Mac?
    This is a shot in the dark - but sign in and out of your iTunes account on the iPad. I know that makes no sense but I used it as a fix for getting the automatic downloads to work on my wife's iPod Touch.
