ITunes does not recognize my ipad, but my computer does as a camera. I NEED TO FIX THIS TO UPGRADE.

How can I get itunes to recognize my ipad? I've gone through all the troubleshooting I could find at itunes and apple. I'm getting really frustrated and really want to update my pad...

iTunes would not recognize my iPad2 *after* I updated to iOS 5, which kept me from syncing all of the content that the update failed to transfer. I read this suggestion somewhere and it worked for me:
1. Hold down the home button and the sleep/wake (power) button at the same time for 10 seconds. Ignore the red power-off slider if it appears.
2. Release the sleep/wake (power) button but continue to hold the home button down for 15 seconds longer.
3. The iPad will go black.
4. With iTunes open, connect the iPad to your computer with USB cable.
5. The Apple log should appear on your iPad.
6. iTunes may take a few seconds to recognize the iPad, but it should do so eventually.
7. You may see the beachball before iTunes recognizes the iPad, but don't give up and don't force quit unless it goes on for several minutes.
This may not work for you, but it's worth a try.

PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does? How do I fix this?

PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does? How do I fix this?

Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
Then click next followed by finish.
You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
Then click next, followed by finish.
Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred.

My program does not recognize my DVD drive and says, " No burner available". How do I fix this? It worked until one month ago

I have an HP Computer., approximately one year old. Since I bought the program,( about 8 months ago) it had worked correctly, but last month, I could not save projects to DVD because program said, " No burner detected" . Welcome any help as I am trying to convert Family VHS tapes to DVD.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Assuming for now you are aiming at DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and not AVCHD on DVD disc.
We can try at least 3 different approaches to restore Premiere Elements burner location recognition for your DVD/CD burner (assumed not Blu-ray DVD burner).
For now, I am going to assume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which it exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. Deactivate the program from within the opened project - in version 12, Expert workspace Help Menu/Sign Out. Then uninstall the program via the usual Control Panel route. Next do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Finally reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
3. Refresh the DVD drivers.
CD, DVD drive not recognized after Adobe application install | Windows
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Add On...at the onset, please assure that the issue still exists with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.

If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software? If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

Itunes on my PC does not recognize my iPad on the front iTunes screen

itunes on my PC does not recognize my iPad as a device on the front iTunes screen. It did before.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

TS1538 Itunes will not recognize my ipad 1 anymore. Did everything it told me to check and still will not recognize it.

my itunes will not recognize my ipad anymore. Did everything it told me too. What can I do now.

Have you tried here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If so...
Try a Restart of your Computer and this Reset for the iPad...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

TS1538 My computer does not recognize my iPad at all...

I have an iPad 1, have been working fine, until 2 months ago.
Suddenly, it only charges battery if it is Powered Off (it will not charge if I plug it while it is ON, or in Sleep mode). Once I Power Off, I plug and starts charging. If I turn it on while charging, I can use it and it DOES charge until 100% . HOWEVER, screen does not read CHARGING like it did before!!! Crazy, eh? Hence, this is the only way I can charge it. However, this is not the worst part!!
Worst of all, is that now my Windows PC does not recognize my iPad at all. I connect with same USB cable (tried another cable with same result) to the computer, and Windows does not recognize ANY device there. I tried to connect the cable while Powered On, while Powered Off, same results... Tryed another USB device, and it DOES recognize it with no problems. It is a USB 2.0 port, and also iTunes 10.6. Nothing.
Any suggestions please? Thanks!!!

I wanted to add... went through all Apple tutorials to reset the iPad, check for updates, etc. No help there. Thanks!

This can take a few attempts before it will work, so be patient. Hopefully, it will work the first time for you.

ITunes will not recognize my iPad or iPhone.

iTunes will not recognize my iPad or my iPhone. However, it will recognize several older iPods. I am working in Windows 8. Help. I have tried everything I could find and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
I really think that my PC is not recognizing these correctly. When I plug in my iPad it opens directly as an external storage device. This was working properly a week ago. What happened?

Everytime I try i get an error message that states that itunes has been installed incorrectly.
What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Have a PowerBook G4 with software 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2. Got a new iPhone 5 - and seems iTunes does not recognize it. What kind of software update(s) do I need?

Have a PowerBook G4 with software 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2. Got a new iPhone 5 - and seems iTunes does not recognize it. What kind of software update(s) do I need?

None. An iPhone 5 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to be synced from a Mac, which is above the maximum for a PowerBook G4(10.5.8.)
