ITunes 11.1.3 will not recognize Ipad1

My Ipad 1 is working perfectly and my computer with Windows 8.1 recognizes it when I connect it through the USB port. However, since ITunes was updated to 11.1.2 and now with 11.1.3, ITunes will not recognize my Ipad and I am unable to sync anything. I checked the Ipad and the software is updated. I tried rebooting it as well as the computer, but nothing has worked.
I do hope this is not a way to force me to buy a new Ipad. Lord knows Apple is brilliant with planned obsolesence, but this would be taking it way too far.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

ITunes 11.1.4 will not recognize iPhone, iPad after Dell BIOS update

I suspect the problems everyone is having are related to the BIOS. I am running a Dell XPS i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.4 GHz with 24 GB RAM, 64 bit OS x64 based processor. OS is Windows 8.1
I just updated my BIOS as suggested by Dell. Now iTunes 11.1.4 will not recognize my iPhone or iPad.
My computer accesses the iPhone or iPad, but iTunes does not recognize them.
This was not a problem prior to updating BIOS.
Is there a fix or patch?
I have to sync my devices for work.
Please no baby-steps replies. Have tried everything including removing devices from device manager and reconnecting to force driver update and try to force iTunes recognition. None of that works.
Thanks!

Here is the fix from Waldo-E3 elsewhere in this forum.
Like I said, no baby steps answers please!
Kudos to Waldo-E3!
RESOLVED...
Found these steps posted elsewhere by another and the solution worked for me...
1. Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel.
2. Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Unspecified (look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
3. Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
4. Select the "Hardware" tab at the top When the properties dialog box opens, once more select properties on the lower right hand button.
5. Under the "Driver" tab menu, the update driver button will be grey and unselectable here. So you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner.
6. Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
7. Select "Update Driver".
8. Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
9. For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
10. Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
11. iTunes 11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already

Downloaded new iTunes and now it will not recognize my iPhone or iPad

I just installed the latest version of iTunes yesterday. Now it will not recognize neither my iPhone nor my iPad. Is there a fix coming for this?? I can see from the comments that numerous other folks are having the exact same issue.

Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

ITunes on Mac Mini will not recognize 5s

I dont know what the issuse is. I have tried to sync over wireless and also plugged in and no luck. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5s. It sees my ipad just fine but not my phone.

HT204088 My purchases in iTunes on my iPad will not recognize my account balance in my desk top so purchases are put on my credit card. How do I use my account from my iPad?

iPad does not recognize my iTunes account balance

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

Itunes and Apple computer will not recognize ipod nano. What do I do?

I have an ipod nano that I bought last year. It has worked fine. Over the last couple weeks, although charging, my computer will not show it in itunes nor recognize it in the finder. I tried placing my usb cord with my Nano on my girlfriends computer and it showed up there but will still not show up on mine. Any answers?

Hmm.. I just checked again trying to put my Nano onto my girlfriends G5. It actually doesn't always show up. At first it didn't and then as I fiddled around with the setting (not changing anything generally) it came on. Hmm.... And then before I could look at it in itunes it went off. Said "Device Removal blah blah blah". Hmm... Then I couldn't get it on again. itunes actually wasn't responding and the ball kept spinning. Then I restarted itunes but it wouldn't come on. I tried the finder but that began to spin too and didn't stop. Even iCal wouldn't come on. So I restarted the computer.

Itunes and airport utility will not recognize AE despite status green

I am trying to onfigure my vista pc and airport extreme base station to stream music wirelessly via an AE. I have read the posts and with AE connected via an ethernet connection it shows up in itunes under my computer tab and everything is ok. However when I disconnect the ethernet cordm the status light on both the AE and airport extreme (when I plug it back into my only eternet connection) both show green, yet neither itunes nor airport utility will recognize the AE. Also tried using windows network tab to add the AE as a wireless device but it also does not find it.Can anyone help me further with this? Very frustrating

For your express to show up in your globe-view thingy.... you need to either select the network that the express is broadcasting from the wifi drop-down.... or select the network that it is a part of.

Upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 will not recognize iPads

I recently upgraded to 10.6.3 and after completing the set up iTunes no longer recognizes either iPad devices. One iPad runs 5.1 and the other runs 4.3.3. However, my older iPods are recognized. Does anyone have experience with this situation and a solution? My intent is to further upgrade the OSX to Lion. Should I upgrade now and see if the issue is resolved or work the issue in the current OSX and then upgrade again after?
Thank you.

I completed the upgrade to 10.6.8 and still cannot seem to get iTunes to 1) Open when any device is plugged in 2) Recognize the 2 iPads or iPod Touch. I will recognize an older iPod Nano and a newer Nano.
When iPad 5.1 is plugged in PhotoShop opens. Any suggestions?

ITunes 11 wifi sync will not recognize my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 running iOS 6

Since I upgraded to iTunes 11, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (both running iOS 6.0.1) as active devices for the purposes of wifi sync. It does, however, recognize my iPad 1 running iOS 5. The only way I can sync my iPad 2 or iPhone 4 is to attach the USB cable.
The older version of iTunes 10 started exhibiting this behavior when iOS 6 was released, but I was able to get iTunes to recognize the devices by powering them off and then back on.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Some advice from Apple would be appreciated.

Guys, I just performed the Itunes update and experienced the same (honestly I was expecting it),
My sollution was, clear up caches on both iPad 2 and iTunes.
Exactly what I did was the following:
1. Update iTunes.
2. Deactivate the home sharing on iTunes.
3. Disconect iPad from home sharing.
4. On iTunes>Preferences>Devices "Allow" the automatic sync for iPod, iPhone & iPad
5. Click on the button labeled "restart synchronization historical" (sorry, don't know how the button looks in English, mine is in Spanish)
6. Click Ok
7. To clear up iPad's caché I force reset the device by pressing and hold both buttons on the device (front and top)
8. Activate the home sharing on both devices again and voilá... there is my full blues collection again!
Maybe for some people it will work this way just fine and for others by doing in a different order, after all for what I see is a caché issue.
Let me know if it was of any help, I'm more PC than mac but network issues are the same and I'm more than glad to help and learn any time.

I just updated to the newest version of iTunes and now it will not recognize my iPad in order to sync. Any suggestions?

I now have the newest version of iTunes. My iPad is up-to-date as well. When I plug in the USB to my computer, it makes the proper sound, but I do not see the device identified in iTunes and therefore cannot sync it. Instead, it opens to the file location for my iPad. How do I connect iTunes to my iPad? It was working perfectly before I updated iTunes.
