ITunes 10.6.1.7 wont see iPad 2 or 3gs both 5.1 on Windows 7/64

I just bought an ipad2 and I updated to iTunes 10.6.1.7 before attaching to my pc. Itunes wont see the ipad or now my 3gs that it use to have no issue seeing. My windows vista pc/itunes sees both iphone/ipad fine so it must be this pc or itunes. I also tried different cables and usb ports with no change. I updated the vista pc to the 10.6.1.7 iTunes and it sees both ipad/iphone fine.
Why doesnt my windows 7/64bit pc see anything all of a sudden?
How do I fix this? Do I really have to uninstall/reinstall iTunes? Will I lose all my data and backups?
Thanks

I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

HT2292 My iPad is now longer appearing in iTunes and under devices it says the iPad needs "troubleshooting" - anyone have any idea how to resolve

I've never had any issues before connecting devices to iTunes, but suddenly my iPod and my iPad Mini are both not appearing in the list. When the iPad is connected to the laptop under devices it says it needs troubleshooting, however I've tried that and it doesn't resolve the issue.
I've also completely removed iTunes from the laptop and reinstalled but again, this has not resolved anything.
Any one else had this issue and any help on how to resolve would be appreciated. I need to transfer things off my iPad but currently can't!

However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Tried to update, now comp/itunes wont see phone which only has cable and itunes showing

Hi, I tried to update iphone to new update, I updated itunes first but when I tried to update the phone I got unknown error (code was 1604 i think) first had phone in dock so tried again and the third time I went to try with the original cable but Itunes/my computer wont see it. the screen has a picture of the usb cable with arrow pointing to Itunes logo. I have tried the Apple help which included reset (both buttons 10 seconds) using different usb port and others from general help.
Can anyone help get the basic operating system back onto the phone please.

11.1.5 installed yesterday now it wont see iphone or open itunes

11.1.5 installed yesterday now it wont see iphone or open itune - has anyone encountered a similar problem?

I had same issue. I flollowed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and the actual part that fixed it for me was step 5. Once I finally found it under DEVICES under "portable devices" the connected type of device was only listed as "Apple Iphone" and nothing was listed under the Universal Serial bus Controllers. After I followed the directions to install the proper mobile device driver then Itunes was able to see my phone. My PC then also has the correct device listed under the Universal Serial bus Controllers.
It is not enough that your connected device says "Apple Iphone" ... so read into the directions step by step for your OS. I think this is the fix for most new connection issues seen with Itunes 11.1.5! Nice bench testing Apple.

Restore the device.

Itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

If you can see the songs but they are "greyed out" it's because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.

Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTune

Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
However .... I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.
