Itunes cannot see iPad2

This is driving me Nuts!!
I bought an iPad last year, and loved it for the 8 Hours I had it, then gave it as a Gift totthe Child in an attempt to stop him destroying computers!
It worked, no more busted computers & laptops, bith PC & Mac!!
So I thought about it and decided to wait for the iPad 2 for myself. Everybody was very impressed by it, and everything seemed to be going well... Until!!!!!
the IOS 4.3 Update and the iTunes Update to 10.2.? all of a sudden the iPad will not connect to iTunes, not every time (that would be too easy!), Plug the ipad in and it instantly connects to the computer, you can go in and look at the pictures on the device. But open itunes and Itunes locks up, you cannot even move it around the screen, until you unplug the iPad, then it responds moves etc. Plug in the iPad again and iTunes once more locks up, but the computer allows you to go onto the ipad and open up pictures on it.
You have to plug and unplug the iPad 4 - 7 times before it appears in the iTunes and iTunes allowws you to use it for updating the iPad.
The iPhone / iPod both connect first time every time, but if you connect the iPhone first, then the iPad Normally connects either on the First or second Attempt.
The computer was built using the Gigabyte x58-UD7 mainboard, specifically for the iPad / iPhone / iPod. It's got high Power USB's and has Offline Charging capabilities, and the 40% extra power on the USB's have the iPad in mind.
I have tried switching the USB ports, to No Avail, connect the iPhone it connects, On the same USB Port and Lead, Eject the iPhone and connect the iPad, No connection, Reconnect the iPhone Connection.
Now try it on another cable and Port, same result, Now another port, Same result.
Leave the iPhone connected, the iPad connects on another port in one or two attempts.
Before the Updates everything worked well.
I then tried to uninstall everything (including Windows) Messed up and forgot to De-Autherise so my fault there, Same results as to the connecting.
Further updates from Apple came in, and they made no difference at all, in Fact they made the ipad even worse at connecting. So once more I am pulling my hair out!
is there something that I am overlooking, or is this a common occurance of late.
The last time I had problems updating was on my iPhone 3G.... That forced me to move tot he iPhone 4 earlier than I wanted to, Trouble is there is no Upward Upgrade on the Hardware this time as this is the latest biggest iPad2.
The main worry I have now, is that I am going to do an update, and when it comes time for the iPad to reconnect to iTunes to complete its update, its not going to and Kill it!!! memories of the iPone 3G

Have you tried restoring the iPad as a new device, then resyncing it?
Go to Settings, General, Reset, Erase all content and settings.
Warning, this makes the iPad out-of-box condition. All data and apps are deleted.

My iPad appears under portable devices in W7 64bit, so iTunes cannot see it

My iPad appears under portable devices in device manager in Windows 7 64bit, so iTunes cannot see it. I have tried unistalling the device, but it always reappears as a portable device. My ipod shuffle also appears as a portable device, but it is seen in iTunes, whereas the ipad does not.

Assuming you've already tried the simple stuff like rebooting the iPad and the computer you'll probably want to check some of these items...

Or it might just be easier to remove and reinstall iTunes. Please remove all 6 component from iTunes before downloading iTunes again.

ITunes cannot see iPod

OK, so iTunes somehow was able to hook up with the shuffle and pulled all my purchased songs off it. I am now on a different computer. I canot access the iPod itself though to place new songs on it. iTunes cannot see it. I am worried that the USB port sees it as a memory storage device instead of iPod. Any thoughts?

Itunes cannot see the itunes music folder on my external hard drive

I recently put all of my music on an external hard drive to free up space on my computer,
However, when I am in itunes and trying to point the library to the music folder, itunes still cannot see it. Instead all it can see is the E drive WD Passport, and folders named autorun, WD Sync Data Wd Windows Tools.
Can anyone tell me how I can see my itunes music folder on my external hard drive while I am in preferences, advanced, library location, change??

I don't know enough about iTunes for Windows to help you with this. But if you post your question in the Using iTunes for Windows forum you will get help from people who know more about this.

ITunes cannot see Airport Express / Windows XP

I have an interesting problem that I cannot figure out.
I am only using the Airport Express to stream music to my stereo. Therefore the Airport Express is in client mode, connected to my home network over a wireless connection (predominantly D-link hardware), WEP is enabled and working fine, and all hardware has the latest firmware. Finally, all hardware has functioning internet connections.
My Apple Powerbook with its Airport card can connect to my Airport Express (in client mode) without difficulty. The Aiport configuration programs can "see" the Airport Express and iTunes finds the device fine. The Powerbook works the way it should, and I can stream music the way I want.
However, the problem is that my IBM notebook cannot see the Airport Express through any of the configuration utilities, and iTunes on the notebook cannot find the Airport Express. I have tried disabling all firewall and antivirus software. iTunes is configured to look for remote speakers with Airtunes. No dice on streaming music from the IBM Notebook to the Airport express.
What is strange is that on the IBM notebook, I can open the Airport Admin Utility and choose "other." Then I put in the IP address for my Aiport Express 192.168.0.103, and I can communicate and configure the Aiport Express.
So the problem is iTunes cannot find the Airport Express on my IBM laptop. I have tried everything that I know of to solve the problem. I can communicate with the Airport Express on the IBM by using the "other" command in the Admin Utility. Somehow there is a flag or something that is not coming up automatically to let the notebook know that an Airport Express is in the network.
Suggestions?

Have you tried re-installing iTunes as the problem may lie with that and not the network setup itself.

Itunes cannot see whats inside my iphone

itunes on windows (12.0.1.26) cannot see whats inside my iphone so when i tried to check again all of the items on my iphone and clicked sync, it displays an error that it has reached over capacity but i really havent. what to do?

Howdy Kat,
If I understand correclty you are trying to sync content to your phone but for some reason iTunes is telling you that you are over capacity. I recommend the information and troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You might see this alert in iTunes: "[iPhone/iPad/iPod touch] cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional space required)."
If you see this alert, try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again.
Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup. I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out. I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it. All I need are my contact

Sorry for short novel I am writing. I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
So, here it goes. I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie. The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty. A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup. The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie. I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore. So I attempted another restore. All was well at this point. I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source. A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer. I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes. Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh). Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck. The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine). We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive. Ok, this is where it gets weird. We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files. Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought. The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders. When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored). This left tech support and I both scratching our heads. My service issue was escalated to the next level. I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through. As usual, apple disappoints again. I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s. I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files. Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

ITunes cannot see Apple TV

I'm having a bummer of a time getting iTunes to see my Apple TV.
I am using a MacBook Pro with OS 10.4.9 and have iTunes 7.1.1 installed. I verified by running software update.
My router is an Airport Extreme 802.11N base station.
I've tried my mac with wireless (G) and ethernet (airport disabled)
The Apple TV is connected to my TV and to my local network (I've tried both ethernet and wireless). I can download movie trailers without a problem from the Apple TV.
I've restarted my MacBook Pro.
I've reset the Apple TV to factory defaults and power cycled it
No matter what I do, I can't get it to show up in the list on the Apple TV tab in iTunes preferences.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have TV synched to MacMini 1 and setup for stream to Dell XP machine, another MacMini Intel, and a PBG4. For machines not setup to stream or sync, the TV did not show up in the devices list. I selected new iTunes Library on the TV, when display the connection key. Soon after the TV showed up in the devices list on the newly added machine. Then clicking on TC then brought up the preferences window and the connection key dialog box. After that, the devices display of the TV goes away but it remains as an allowed device for streaming in the TV preferences box and is selectable from the sources menu on the TV.
If you take too long to go back to iTunes on the hosting computer and the Apple TV goes into screen saver mode before connection, TV will disappear on the Devices list in iTunes.
This drove me crazy for a awhile because I was taking my time to return to the host machine after requesting a new connection authorization.

ITunes cannot see calendars

I have encountered a problem with iTunes in syncing calendars. Until recently there was no problem. Now when I select sync calendars I get the following:
No Calendars Found-Calendar syncing cannot be enabled because there are no calendars available. Do you want to open Calendar and create a calendar now?.
Except I do have calendars available and it simply does not recognize them. I reset my ipod and exported my calendar info and deleted the calendars file so it would start fresh. Still no go. Even with just the home and away calendars on my mac, iTunes does not see them as real. So what can I do to solve this problem? Thanks!
(iMac, OSX 10.8.5, iTunes 11.2.2)

Hello mandorla,
You may need to reset Sync Services, as detailed in the article linked below.

Ipad2 and Ipad3, cannot see Ipad2 user - worked ok for months, now broken. Like to know how to upgrade Ipad2 to IOS 5.1.1 (too many issues with IOS 6 - consider too risky)?

I have been using Facetime successfully for months to communicate with my elderly mother in the UK (I am located in Canada)? Today we tried Facetime and we could hear each other but I could not see her. She could see me ok however.
As I wasn't sure whether the problem was with my iPad or hers I made a FaceTime call to my brother-in-law in the UK, this call worked perfectly. I then tried a Factime call with a friend in Canada and it also worked fine.
My mother could see herself in the small window so we know that her camera must be working.
Here are the IOS versions for the four IOS devices used in these tests..
My mothers iPad 2: IOS 4.3.5
Brother-in-law's iPad 3: IOS 5.1.1
Friends iPhone: IOS 6
My iPad 3: IOS 5.1.1
My questions are as follows:
Q1/ Has anyone heard of Facetime problems between newer and older iPads as a result of Apple rolling out IOS 6 recently?
(maybe there have been some changes to the FaceTime servers as part of the IOS 6 rollout?)
Q2/ Is it possible to update my Mothers iPad 2 (IOS 4) to IOS 5.1.1 and do this without using a computer? (I would prefer her to update to 5.1.1 and hold off updating to 6 because of all the issues I read of users having problems with 6, including FaceTime issues)
My mother is in her 70's, and has no computing device other than her iPad. She can just about manage to figure out how to use the basic features of her iPad. Therefore the update process needs to be very easy and straightforward otherwise she is likely to get very confused, very quickly!
Facetime has been brilliant for my mother and keeping in touch with her son, thousands of miles away, we would really like to get Facetime working again.
Can anyone help?

You will not be able to block IOS 6. You can try blocking it with a webfilter or firewall but if the students take these home or connect to another network or iTunes they can get it that way. You will find that the vast majority of all apps will work with 6 or have been updated to work with it by now.

ITunes cannot see or sync my Outlook calendars.

Hi all, iTunes seems to have lost the ability to see my current Outlook calendars and sync them to my iPhone 3G. I am running Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2003, and I've done all iTunes / iPhone / Windows Update / Outlook updates and patches that I could find. The problem happened about 2-3 weeks ago, and may have co-incided with an iTunes patch, I can't remember.
I've attempted to have the iPhone sync different calendars, used the "Replace all calendar info on next sync" toggle button, and reset the sync history with no luck.
All other syncing items through iTunes / Outlook / iPhone are still fine, including syncing Outlook notes and contacts.
The strange part is that iTunes is no longer seeing when Outlook calendars are created or deleted. iTunes still sees an old Outlook calendar I deleted after the problem started happening, and does not see any new calendars I've made since the problem. It only seems to see a "snapshot" of what was there right when the problem occurred. Stranger still, when I tell the iPhone (with all calendar data removed) to sync with one of the old calendars that iTunes sees but isn't there anymore, the iPhone correctly syncs up the old calendar as if it were still there. I.E. I'm getting a suspicion that iTunes has a cached copy of my old deleted Outlook calendars somewhere that it is pulling this old info from. Weird huh?
Anyways, I've dug through the old discussions and it sounds like this is an old problem that never found an answer. But if you have any advice please let me know, I'm all ears!
Thanks,
Scott

Itunes cannot see media on external drive

Hi
I ran out of space on my drive so moved my itunes folder onto an external drive. All the files and folders are there, so I know they went across OK. I then trashed and deleted my original itunes folder. When I load up itunes now it does not see all the music on the external drive . It just looks like a brand new fresh instal of itunes waiting for some music. After a quick search I though I may have moved across the libraries. Have tried holding the option key on loading and selecting the choose library option, but when I point to the folder created on the external drive, it just says "An itunes library file could not be found in the folder "itunes media" ( that was the name i gave it) I guess i need to get itunes to point to this folder but i have no idea how. Help please

No there isnt any files call library in the folder i created I am now in the process of copying them back but I guess I will loose all my playlists and playcounts. I do have a Copy of my drive that i made with carbon copy cloner. So maybe it will be best to boot from there, restore and start again.
Chris it was just the media folder. I was following the instructions on the apple support page. Got to point 14 didn't get the warning but did seen to have a brand new itunes, so emptied the trash as they said expecting everything to be fine but it wasnt.

ITunes cannot see data in the MyBookLive shared drive, but it's there

I have iTunes on a Mac OS X 10.6 and the 2TB MBL. I transferred 40G of music from local drives to my MBL successfully. I can see those in Finder - Public - Shared Music. I enabled the Public Share to be "ALL" for media sharing. I can see the MBL in the SHARED options in iTunes, then when I click on it, or double click on it, I only see the 3 default playlists - Movies, Music, and TV. There are no files in any of them. I have iTunes Enabled in the MBL Settings - Media. I then rebootedthe MBL then rebooted the Mac, and still no luck.
The WD goons think this is an apple issue. Please help.

Moved to Crystal Reports forum.
