Ipad not recognised in windows 7

I have recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 but although the computer recognises the iPad iTunes does not.
My iPod is recognised without problem
I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it with no change.
Any suggestions please ?
Peter

Having removed and reinstalled iTunes I get an error.
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. An unknown error occured (0xE8000084)"
As it's an iPad not an iPhone I have no idea why this decive is not reconised by iTunes even though Windows 7 sees it ok.

    I have followed the instructions around windows 7 not recognising my ipad and it has led me here.
    It was recognised the first time I connected, but not since.
    The only thing I'm not sure about is conflicting programs that may have an affect. I am with Virginmedia and use their in house security program.
    Any help would be useful

    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

  • Ipod 5 not recognised by windows or Itunes, no drivers found in devmgmt.msc

    Hello there.
    My Ipod 5th Gen is having problems. When I try to connect it to my windows 8 laptop I get nothing. Not even an "unrecognised device" message. I am guessing there is no driver to process it, or something like that. All my other USB devices are working.
    I have tried all the ideas listed on the support. when I take a screenshot and try to find it as a camera, nothing appears. There is no "portable devices" section, no "other devices" section. It is completely unresponsive.
    I have no conflicting software, and everything has been reinstalled, including AMDS.
    Here is a screenshot of my Devmgmt.msc:
    thanks In advance.

  • TS1538 iPhone 5 is not recognised by Windows 7

    My iPhone 5 is not recognised by Windows or iTunes at all. It does not appear in Devices & Printers or Device Manager. Nothing happens to Windows when I insert the cable into the USB port. Is it possible that it is a faulty cable, or is there a software issue that I am unaware of?

    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 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • IPod not recognised by windows iTunes

    iPod not recognised by windows 8 computer.
    After I recently updated iTunes I plugged my iPod Touch 4th Gen into my windows 8 desktop.
    It was not recognised as an iPod by iTunes, only as a storage device in MS Windows.
    After much searching I identified the problem was there was no apple mobile device USB driver installed.
    I searched for … devmgmt.msc
    Which opened the Device Manager
    In Device Manager, under Portable devices, the Apple iPod should have been listed. It wasn’t.
    So I Right Clicked on ‘Apple iPod’ and left clicked on ‘Update Driver Software’.
    Then ‘Browse my computer for driver software’.
    Browsed to this location … Windows (C) / Program files / Common Files / Apple / Mobile Device Support / Drivers /
    And then clicked on ‘usbaapl64’
    It installed the Apple mobile device USB Driver, as it should have done already, when I recently updated iTunes.
    Could someone check the above to see if I have described the problem and the solution correctly.
    Thanks. Chris KV

    OK, update to try to provide a clearer description of the problem and solution that worked for me.
    Problem.
    After I recently updated iTunes I plugged my iPod Touch 4th Gen into my windows 8 desktop. It was not recognised as an iPod by iTunes, only as a storage device in MS Windows. After much searching I identified that there was no Apple Mobile Device USB driver installed. Without the driver Windows did not recognise the Apple iPod when connected via USB.
    Solution.
    I needed to use the Windows Device Manager, so I searched for … devmgmt.msc (You need to include the .msc) and clicked on it, which opened the Device Manager in a new window.
    In Device Manager, under Portable devices, the Apple iPod should have been listed. It wasn’t.
    So I Right Clicked on: ‘Apple iPod’ and left clicked on: ‘Update Driver Software’.
    Then clicked on: ‘Browse my computer for driver software’.
    Then clicked on browse and drilled down to the following location on my hard drive:
    C:\Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers /
    And then clicked on ‘usbaapl64’
    This installed the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
    Now Windows recognises my iPod again.
    PS. I can’t remember if I had to restart the computer once the device driver was installed. But if the above doesn’t work for you, then at the end, try restarting to see if that finishes the installation of the device driver. Good luck

  • Help - my iPod Nano is not recognised by windows

    Hi I have recently bought a new ipod nano (8gb Aluminium case) and it is not recognised by windows. I have run through all of the trouble shooting tips (reseting ipod, reinstalling itunes, getting latest windows updates, even deleting my temp files). I have also tried all USB ports and tested them with a memory stick to make sure that they are working.
    I can hear the standard windows sonic (ding-dong) when I plug in the ipod, but there is no indication of it in my computer or itunes.
    Can anyone help me here?

    Have you tried putting your iPod into disk mode, then connect it to your computer?

  • 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.

  • Optical Drive is not recognised in Windows 8.1 (x64), or in UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Description of Issue:
    Optical Drive is not recognised in Windows 8.1 (x64), or in UEFI System Diagnostics.
    Steps to Recreate:
    UEFI:
    Boot PC into UEFI System Diagnositcs (F2 at POST)
    Component Checks
    Optical Drive
    Sequential Check
    Error: Not Optical Drive Installed.
    Windows 8.1 (x64):
    Run Device Manager
    Error: No DVD/CD Drives section.
    Scanning for new hardware changes nothing.
    Relevent System Specifications:
    Laptop: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (Vanilla build)
    Optical Drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n
    Steps Already Taken to Solve:
    Replaced DVD drive with one from similar spec HP Pavilion. The gn70n hotswapped perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD Drive is working, and there are no issues with Windows 8.1 (x64).
    Removed DVD Drive. Rebooted computer. Log into Windows. Shutdown. Refit DVD Drive. Boot laptop. This attempts to solve hardware glitches with PnP devices; as well as helping to fix any intermittent loose connection problems. Conclusion: No change.
    Ran Troubleshooting for Hardware and Devices, via the Control Panel. Issue Found: Hardware changes might not have been detected. Exploring more options just takes you through to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, this is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Windows Help and Support is severely lacking. They show no more information than just that something has been detected as being wrong.
    Ran the Microsoft FixIt Optical Drive Troubleshooter and Automatic Repairer. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The troubleshooter reported that the device could not be found. It recommended removing all power cables, switching the device off and various other things that have no relevence to laptop hardware troubleshooting. It then said if the problem still persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows Troubleshooting cannot fix the problem.
    Run Windows Update to ensure all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is fully up to date.
    Run a full Rootkit and heuristic Malware scan, using Sbybot S&D 2.3; as well as a signature based scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.
    Notes:
    The DVD Drive is NOT showing up in the Device Manager, OR in This PC.
    The DVD Drive is NOT being detected by the UEFI System Diagnostics.
    There is NO reference to the DVD Drive in BIOS, other than as a boot option, which is generic.
    The DVD Drive, itself, DOES work, and has been verified on a different machine.
    This question was solved.

    Oh ok, that's fine. I was expecting to go through a first response resolution process. Once the gate keepers realise they're talking to someone who actually knows what they're talking about, it's usually pretty simple to skip through a lot of the script. Once you've got past the gate keepers once, it's usually easy to get a direct number for the actual resolution department.
    Will they question why I've opened up the case to exchange a 1TB HDD for an 80GB HDD? (The only physical spare I have, atm). I know they'll understand, I'm only worried about giving them any reason to deny the warranty on such an extensive fix.
