IPad Not Being Detected by iTunes

All of a sudden, iTunes has stopped recognizing my iPad when it's connected. This wasn't a problem a couple of days ago and now it is.
iTunes may have been updated recently, so that may be it.
The only way I can get iTunes to recognize my iPad is to restart to Apple device detection service or to restart my computer, both of which are a PITA.
How do I revert to the old version of iTunes? I think that is the problem.
P.S. Now, and this is new, whenever I connect my iPad to my computer I am asked on the iPad to trust this computer. I keep replying yes, but that doesn't do any good. Every time I replug in the iPad, I am asked that question again.
P.P.S. Up to date Pre-Air iPad and Windows 8.1

So now none of my work-arounds are working and I am unable to sync anything to my iPad.
P.S. Now it looks like the issue was the stupid "Trust this computer" pop-up on the iPad, which I didn't think to check for (because I've clicked "Trust" at least 20 times before).

  • Ipod 4g 32G not turning on, not charging (on multiple cords, both comp and wall, 4 20min), not being detected by Itunes or Windows 7 64bit OS, will not reset, tried taking it out of "DFU", NO DMG, Itunes up2date, All I'm getting is a blank black scrn

    Ipod Touch 4th generation 32G not turning on, not charging.
    I have used multiple cords on both computer USB and wall USB converters. I let it sit there for over 20 min with each attempt.
    It is not being detected by Itunes or my Windows 7 64bit OS. I have tried all 4 of my USB ports (both USB 2.0 and 3.0), with 3 different chargers.
    Holding home and power button will not reset.
    Tried taking it out of "DFU" mode but Itunes won't detect it, I didn't think that would work anyway.
    NO DAMAGE, I have been very careful with it, aside from a few minor scratches. (that you can't even see unless the light reflects them)
    My Itunes is up to date, as is my OS.
    All I'm getting is a blank black screen. It has been working fine on this computer before. I have no idea what could have happened. I'm at my wits end here.

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT203128 My iPad is not being detected by iTunes after I updated to the latest version of iTunes.  What should I do?

    After updating to the new version of iTunes, my iPad 2 is not being detected when I tried to sync.  Any solutions?

    A few things to try. Any one or a combo mayhelp
    Reset your iPad.
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. Then plug it back in and see if it is seen now.
    Try a different USB port
    Reboot your computer
    If you have a PC:
    If that doesn't fix it, go into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, apple Mobile device service, apple application support.
    Then redownload and reinstall iTunes. then try again.

  • IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12

    iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
    Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
    Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/

    See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • PLEASE HELP! My iPod is not being detected on iTunes!

    I know everyone is posting about this, but nothing seems to be working. I've done tons of research and tried it all!
    Here's the story: My 1st iPod has been using the firmware 1.1.1, until I recently decided to update it. It was updated to 1.1.5, and the moment iTunes was restarted, it could no longer be detected by iTunes! My iPod has been working fine before the update, so it can't be the iPod itself. I've listed below all the things I've tried! The iPod DOES appear in My Computer, but NOT in iTunes (using iTunes 8, but I have tried uninstalling and reintalling different versions)
    Things I've tried and haven't worked:
    - Restarting the computer and iPod
    - Resetting the iPod by holding the Home and Sleep button
    - Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes (several times, on different versions)
    - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852?viewlocale=en_US
    - Apple Support's 5 R's, and related articles
    - Thread suggestion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1821771&tstart=0
    - iPod not recognized on laptop article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
    - Starting/Stopping the iPod Service and Apple Mobile device
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling the device in Device Manager
    - Plugging into different USB ports (they were fully functional before firmware update)
    - Plugging into a different computer (where it was also not detected on iTunes)
    I believe my problem is maybe that I need to reinstall the firmware, but I can't do this without it being detected on iTunes! Any ideas???
    I really hope someone out there can help me! I am so frustrated and stuck with this problem and have been going around in circles! Thanks so much for ANYONE's help!

    look at the brightside at least your computer sees yours

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • My ipad2 16 gb wifi not being detected by itunes

    hi i bought a new ipad2 16 GB wifi, and connected to itunes,when it asked for upgradation for ipad2 ios 4.3.3 i downloaded the same and tried updating the OS but midway the updating got stuck and now neither itunes detects the ipad2 and the ipad2 is showing in its screen as updating not able to do any function on the ipad2, neither sleep switch of none of the functions work just the screen is switched on showing updating.please do let me know how to reset the ipad2 and go to the previous version.the itunes is not at all able to sync nor detect the ipad2.

    A reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • IPod not being detected by iTunes..

    Alright, so lately been iTunes decides to not copy some video files converted with Videora, but didn't really care till I had this video really wanted to watch. So, I check Apple Support>Do5 5Rs, which when I get upto Restore,it does nothing but copy less video files after, and 105 podcasts out of 255! GR8, how useful! Give it another try, and now it fails, and after that I cannot detect the iPod at all!!!!!!!
    I did Diagnostics and it does find iPod, the program detects it but it fails a sync test, interestingly enough it doesn't show it as a device!!!!
    Also, I reinstalled, cleared Registry, did the Windows Installer Clean thingie, deleted Temp, did Disk Mode, nothing. When connected, just says on iPod, connected, eject b4 disconnecting!
    So, what to do?

    Alright, fixed by going to My Computer> selecting the iPod and doing Disk Check, and automatically fix errors, the first one.
    But prob now is it still won't sync all the videos, why?!!!

  • I am having trouble with my ipad not being recognised in itunes when I connect

    Hi I need to connect to my itunes account with my ipad to manage content. I have an IMac and when iI connect via USB or WIFI itunes doesn't "find" my Ipad. I have had it for over a year and it has always worked before. I have read a lot of the posts on here and tried rebooting both, reinstalling, different leads and USB sockets (iphone picked up fine ) and nothing is working. Does anyone have any ideas as I'm stuck with a useless Ipad at the moment. I considered going to the apple store but from posts on here they seem to be useless as well. Thank you.

  • IPhone and iPad not being recognized by iTunes

    Hi All,
    I had a late 2007 macbook pro that developed a line across the screen where everything below it was gray. At first it was a simple 'wiggle of the screen' fix, then it evolved into a 'put a bag clip on the side', then it became a 'put a bag clip on the side and wiggle it to find the perfect spot'. My friend (who has the exact same model bought 3 days apart at the same location) upgraded to a macbook air and gave his old computer to me so I'd have a working screen again. He had updated the computer to lion before giving it to me (I had snow leopard). I had the HD's swapped as well as my ram (as I had 4 vs 2gbs). Now the computer is having some serious issues. When I plug in my iphone or ipad it isn't recognized in iTunes, I did notice its recognized in iPhoto but won't actually bring up any of the pictures... just shows that they exist (but are blank). Google Chrome crashes now everytime I use a command to open a tab or close a window etc. I've also noticed that programs are taking 15-30 seconds to open and I'm getting a lot of spinning wheels. Everything is updated and I've tried re-installing snow leopard and the programs that are being affected. And that's all I've noticed so far, but its only been 24 very frustrating hours.
    I'd go to apple but all the products are out of service so there won't be any help there. My friend had none of these problems before giving me the computer and took meticulous care of it. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?? I'm having a hard time trying to understand how swapping a HD could possibly cause all these problems.
    Thanks a bunch,
    Evan

    Thank you allan this worked, the final thing was updating the driver softwar for the AMDS in device manager. Thanks again.
