Ipad not visible in itunes

Installed the new OS on the ipad now restored but not visible in itunes which is up to date as is the Mac OS....???

HI,
According to your profile you are running v10.6.3. Click your Apple menu  / Software Update. That will update your system to v10.6.5.
Then repair permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Now restart the iPad.
Now try syncing the iPad with your Mac. If that didn't help, click here

IPhone and iPad not visible in iTunes--but i can still sync...

So, I was having trouble connecting my iPhone 5 via USB to my Windows 8 PC and iTunes 11.
I tried stopping and restarting the Apple mobile service. I also deleted the Generic USB hubs and restarted the PC.
Just for kicks, I unchecked the box that prevented automatic syncing.
Now, iTunes is syncing both the iPhone (connected via USB) and the iPad (via Wifi)--but I just can't see them on my PC.
Suggestions? I'm a little reluctant to uninstalled and reinstall iTunes--I keep my iTunes library on an external and I seem to recall creating duplicate entries for every song last time I tried that...
Thanks in advance...

Go into the control panel, add/remove programs, look for the 'apple mobile device driver', uninstall it, then try plugging your iPad into a different usb port or try uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes again.
That driver has a bad habit of getting corrupted or messed up and the only way to fix it is to remove it, then trigger your computer to reinstall it....which is where the different usb port, reinstalling iTunes comes in.
Also, if you are using a hub or extenderr to plug in the iPad, stop and plug it directly into the computer.

IPad not visible in iTunes 10.5 after iOS upgrade yesterday

Yesterday I installed iTunes 10.5, connected my iPad 1 and upgraded to the latest ios 5.0. It eventually completed installing and restoring, but reported one app that didn't restore. So today I reconnected the iPad to the same port on the same Mac Pro with the same cable, and now cannot see it in iTunes. Both the iPad and iTunes seem to otherwise be working properly and I have rebooted both the iPad and the computer. Am I missing something?

Maybe that's why I got lucky? I have 10.7.2. I have to tell you howeer that I did not check any check box in settings on the Notebook to enable Wifi sync, or in iTunes on the notebook. I did have options when setting up the iPad and I selected sync with computer rather than back up to cloud. Maybe that is another difference? I feel feel fortunate that as I type this my iPad is syncing over wifi and you're all having trouble.
Just to confirm I have iTunes 10.5 MacOSX 10.7.2 and iOS5 installed on the iPad. I'm going to dive in and do the phone now too. I will report any troubles, or pay more careful attention when the iCloud settings and set up come on the screen. Maybe I did something else I don't remember.

Iphone 5 / Ipad not visible in itunes for wireless syncing

Hi
Could anyone shed any light in to why my devices randomly decide not to show in the left hand side of itunes when they can sometimes be only a few feet from the router - it does seem to be random as they often do show - but you can guarantee when I want to wirelessly sync they do not show and I'm back to good old tethering again.
many thanks

I have the same issue, with my brand new iphone 5s, and my 4 month old dell desktop. The computer recognizes the iphone when i plug in the usb, but itunes will not. I dont know what to do.

Ipad not connecting in itunes

Ipad not connecting to itunes, but is recognised thru Win Explorer while connect to computer? Any advice to resolve?

Thanks for response. I have uninstalled itunes and re-downloaded (13/5/2011). I did have the latest version previously.
New itunes loaded. I tried connecting ipad once itunes is open, but still itunes is not recognising IPAD. Ipad is connected to computer - visible still through Win Explorer.
It is noted once IPAD is connected "Autoplay" via Windows 7 opens up. Itunes is not listed as a default to open files.
I have tried all ports on computer, and new cables - no luck. I welcome some further feedback. The itunes connecting to iPAD about 10 days ago when I last connected.

IPad not recognized by iTunes

I have the following problem:
My new iPad is not connecting to iTunes. When I insert the USB cable I hear the USB-connect sound of windows, but in iTunes nothing happens.
However my previous iPad and iPhone are connecting without any problems. I followed all the steps in the guide on the Apple Support page, including completely deleting and reinstalling iTunes. Nothing helped.
My stuff:
OS: Windows 7
Itunes: latest version
iPad with retina display, iOS 6.1 - the new one that will not connect
iPad 2, iOS 6.1 - connecting without problems
IPhone 4, iOS 6.1 - connecting without problems
Can anyone help me and solve this problem of my new iPad not connecting to iTunes?

I found a solution. It seems that Windows had a setting selected that drivers are not automatically installed if not available on the computer. So I changed this setting and my iPad was immediately recognized.
For people with the same problem: I went to: Control Panel > Devices and printers. Under Unknown I saw my iPad, so I right clicked and selected: Solve problems. Then it said something about missing drivers so I chose to install them. In addition the problem solve wizard pointed me to the setting in windows that drivers are not automatically installed.

Ipad not recognized in itunes

I'm sick of this....iPad is recognized by Windows 7 PC, but not in iTunes. Latest versions of all software - Windows 64 bit, iTunes 64 bit. I uninstall iTunes and reinstall, and it recognizes my iPad, but after computer shutdown and reboot, it's back to the same problem. I thought apple was supposed to be great?

"podcasts" is not visible in iTunes after software update

iTunes no longer shows "podcasts" as a category. I have several active subscriptions--they seem to have disappeared. All of the other usual categories (e.g., music, TV shows) are still there. This occurred immediately after I downloaded today's iTunes upgrade. I have tried downloading more podcasts. That happens fine--but they are not visible from iTunes after the download.

I can re-check the "podcasts" box in the Windows version. It's not grayed out. But there doesn't seem to be any way to save my changes. Didn't the "preferences" dialog box used to have a "save changes" button at the bottom?

HELP, Ipod nano 4 GB v 1.2 not visible in itunes v7.02.16

I did the update for Itunes v7.02.16 and after this my ipod nano 4 GB firmware v1.2 was not visible in itunes but in de windows explorer it was shown. I was more then a hour on the phone with a support guy, with the result (his opinion) that it was a hardware problem. His advice was updating the usb driver. I did, but the problems was not solved. I did the same install on 2 other computer and all gave the same problems, I've tried all the solutions on the faq etc, the 5 R's etc.
A strange thing is that de diagnostic in Itunes tells me all the information about the connectec ipod, it shows the serial nummer. name, busspeed, firmware etc.
WHO can help, my mind is empty.

I am having a similar problem. However, I have not updated my USB drive. How did you do that?
For the support guy (or gal)...I have an iPod nano 2 GB and when I plug it into my USB port (I have 2 ports and have tried both) iTunes opens but doesn't recognize that my iPod is connected. When I run iPod diagnostics through iTunes it says iPod Connection Status-Failed, even though it is connected. I cannot sync my iPod via iTunes. I have tried numerous troubleshooters on the apple.com support website without any success (reinstalling iTunes, etc.) I took it to an Apple store this weekend and when they hooked my iPod up with my cable, their Mac recognized my iPod. If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Gen2 ATV not visible in ITUNES 10.1.54, any others?

Cable-connected.
Have opened port 3689TCP and 5353UDP in NETGEAR FIREWALL.
I can see ATV in the firewall, it gets syncronized, it has an IP,
but not visible in ITUNES, Weird.
I can see my library in ATV etc..my computer..
The ICON ATV in ITUNES was there when I had Gen 1.
HAve done a total factory reset, entered all info and such, started homelibrary etc.

ATV2 won't show up on your library list as it does not store any media on the internal storage other than buffering. Where as the ATV1 had a hard drive with media stored on it would appear in the pane as shared media.
