IPad will not appear in iTunes, nor show "charging" icon

While on a recent road trip, my iPad mysteriously stopped charging when connected to a wall plug. Or so I thought, as the "charging" icon never appeared. However, if left plugged in long enough, the iPad would slowly (very slowly) recharge. The same iPad will no longer appear in iTunes for synching. As I have multiple cables, I don't think my problem is with the cable, which works fine for my iPhone. Suggestions? Ideas?

Im having exactly the same issue with the syncing, but I can plug into the charger in an outlet and the IPAD charges fairly quickly. If I am plugged into my book pro then the IPAD is not detected at all.
I wiped mine thinking it had corrupted but now I only have the icon of the cable and ITUNES logo similar to when first purchased and starting up. Even though plugged in it will not detect. I have 3 cables, all of which work with my iphone 4 when plugged into my book pro.

TS1591 iPad will not appear in Itunes

My iPad 2 will not appear in Itunes. I have looked at other apple support pages and no of them have worked for me. It shows that the iPad is charging when I plug it into the computer but it will not show in Itunes.

I had the same problem -- here is what I did to fix it:
I turned my phone off and turned off iTunes. I then turned my phone on and then connected the phone to the computer. It automatically launched iTunes and showed up under the devices.
Hope this helps!

Help! iPad will not appear in iTunes

Need real advice, went through the help tutorial 10 times (disconnect all USB, try different USB, try restarting etc.) and no luck. Just got iPad but I had an older Mac running Tiger 10.4, so I upgraded to snow Leopard (10.6.4) and also downloaded most recent version of iTunes (9.2) - it simply wont recognize iPad, which is fully charged.
If I run system profiler it sees the iPad as a USB device, but iTunes refuses to see it. Also shows up in finder devices as "iDisk"
Whne I plug it in, it just shows the cord to iTunes graphic, if I hold down the sleep and start for 10 seconds I get the Apple logo, then it goes to a screen to slide the red bar to power off, and there is a small icon of a lock on top - do I need to somehow unlock this with software or hardware?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can reset the iPad to its factory state by putting it into "recovery mode". I had to do this one time when iTunes would not recognize the iPad and it didn't seem to be charging. This will erase everything on the iPad, but after restoring from within iTunes everything should be synched back over.
This article says how. Basically, turn off the iPad and then hold down the home button while plugging the USB cord into your computer. Keep holding it down until you see the original screen telling you to use iTunes to set up the iPad.

My ipad will not sync with itunes. nothing shows up

when I plug my ipad 1 to my computer it will not sync. I would like to add my music collection to it. supposed to find it under devices, but there is not such link on my screen. doesn't sync automatically.

On occasion, iTunes will not recognize my iPad so what I do is quit iTunes, restart the iPad and reboot my Mac and it will appear after that. You could try that first, and if you still have no success, start with this support article from Apple.

Try changing USB ports on your PC and make sure that you use a port on the computer - do not use a hub or a port on the monitor.

My ipad will not appear in itunes and i have done all the troubleshooting

I cannot get my itunes to accept my ipad. I am also having trouble with my ipad recognizing a camara kit sim card.

Bubbanole-
One thing to try is to uninstall and re-install iTunes.
The only other thing I can think of, is that your cable may have become defective. Do you have another computer with iTunes you can compare with?

My new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes

my new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes. I am on a Windows system

Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded? If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized. With iTunes open, click on Store at the top. Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them. Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

iTunes and the App Store are two different apps/stores. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. If you want to buy apps - go to the app store. If you want to but media - music, movies, TV shows - go to iTunes.

Ipad 1 not appearing in itunes. I am running 10.6.8 and have itunes 10.3.1

I have been given a first generation ipad and it will not appear in itunes. I have 10.6.8 installed with itunes 10.3.1. I connected the cable to the USB port in the back of the computer and when i connect to the ipad there is the audible sound when a connection is made like a "chime" but nothing appears in itunes. I looked at some troubleshooting sites and removed itunes and reinstalled it again but the problem still exists. I can download apps but cant get them to the ipad because "it's not there". Please help. Three frustrated kids and one swearing grown up.

I followed the instructions carefully and it still wouldn't work. Apparently my device was in the "rare circumstances" etc etc. I followed another link on the page which took me to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540 where I followed the instructions there and voila! problem resolved. No longer swearing and kids will be happy in the morning. Many thanks. Yipppeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

IPad will not connect to iTunes on migrated iMac

I migrated my old iMac to a new iMac.
My iPad will not connect to iTunes on the new iMac... "does not have permission"
How do I get my iPad to be recognized/associated/sync'd/etc. with iTunes on my new iMac?

I assume so. I think the Migration Assistant copies everything from the old Mac to the new Mac. I have an iTunes folder in my home directory. It contains files: iTunes library extras, iTunes library genius, iTunes music library - and folders: album artwork, iTunes music, mobile applications, and previous iTunes libraries.
When I connect my iPad, the iPad icon does not show in the left column, and I get a message "iTunes could not connect to thid iPad. You do not have permission."
FYI, I had no problem syncing my iPhone to iTunes on the new machine.

I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

My ipad does not appear in itunes

my ipad does not appear in itunes but the computer recognises it

I had the same problem. found a dozen different solutions in various forums. None worked.
One of the official responses TS1538 came very close and sounded promising. I found that the usb device did not appear in device manager. The ipad appeared only in the imaging devices.
The instructions were to right click on the entry in images and update the driver, pointing at
program files\common files\apple\drivers\usbaapl.inf.
This told me that my device was not found in the driver. date on the files was 2009. date on the files in another pc which worked was 2011.
I had already re-installed itunes, which I thought should install the necessary driver.
Decided to fool it. copied the files in the above folder and then deleted them. Then re-installed itunes again.
Fixed.
So why doesnt itunes installation over-ride the old files?
Why doesnt apple tell us about this fix.
Why did I buy and apple?
