ITunes for PC won't recognize iPad

Running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.  No version of iTunes (version 10, 11, or even the one just released) will recognize iPad1.  AMDS service says Starting but never completes. Get an AMDS AppCrash message on Fault Module Name rpcrt4.dll.  It used to work on an early version of iTunes, but something has changed on the computer or the Apple software.
Does anyone know what to look for to resolve this issue?
Device Manager shows both Apple Pad and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver under Portable Devices.
Just in case a registry cleaner program deleted a needed entry, does anyone know if there are any specific Registry entries that must be present for AMDS service to start completely? How about required services? AMDS service is the only service that won't work. There are no other problems with the PC.
Can anyone help?

Does anyone know of anything I can try? Can anyone answer any of my questions above?

  • Itunes for mac won't recognize ipod but iTunes on parallels will

    Just upgraded itunes to 10.5 and purchased a new ipod classic (160gb). All my music is on my old macbook, but itunes won't recognize that the ipod is attached. Finder will, but iTunes won't. However, when I run iTunes in parallels desktop on the same mac, it recognizes the iPod and asks to sync. How do I get the mac itunes to recognize the ipod?

    Sorry for the late response. I realised my notifications are off. I've tried that. All my software is up to date, setting for wifi sync are all checked off. I spent 1 hour on the phone with Apple with no results. Most threads are about Windows PC. I run a a MacBook. Variables could be my Linksys router but i/ve played with the firewall settings and nothing. I have a range extender but all devices are using the same network. Any final ideas?

  • ITunes (for Windows) doesn't recognize iPad 2

    I have Windows 8 with iTunes 11.3.0 but it doesn't recognize my iPad 2 (with iOS 7.1.2).  But it does recognize my iPhone 5s with the same iOS 7.1.2.
    I have tried with three different cables, the last one was a new one, but it never recognized my iPad.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks.

    Did you try to connect in recovery mode?

  • Cannot sync my ipad . . . keep getting message " requires version 10.6.3" or later . . . I've already downloaded 10.7 to my mac . . . won't recognize Ipad either . . . help

    Cannot sync my ipad . . . keep getting message " requires version 10.6.3" or later . . . I've already downloaded 10.7 to my mac . . . won't recognize Ipad either . . . help

    I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.
    I have the new iPhone 5 and iTunes is asking for iTunes 7.0 in order to recognize the phone. I tried to download iTunes 7.0 but an error comes up stating that I need the 10.6.8. Well I tried to download the 10.6.8 and an error message came up saying that I need minimum of 10.6. So now I'm confused....
    These are the error messages in order.
    1. The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    2. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher.
    3. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.
    Will I have to pay for the 10.6?
    Thanks so much in advance.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck on a screen displaying the itunes symbol and a charging cable. I tried connecting it to itunes and it won't recognize it or anything. what can i do?

    my iphone 5 is stuck on a screen displaying the itunes symbol and a charging cable. I tried connecting it to itunes and it won't recognize it or anything. what can i do?

    Turn it off by holding home+ power button untill the screen goes black ( as soon as it goes black, release the buttons).. This might take some practice , so dont worry if on the first try your phone reboots and goes to itunes screen again.
    Now, with your phone powered off, enter DFU mode:
    Method 1)
    Attach the phone to the pc
    Turn the phone off
    Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
    Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
    Whilist in dfu mode, itunes will recognize the device and it will ask you if you wish to restore it. Simply click restore, and the restoring proces will begin.
    This will hopefully fix your iphone.
    Cheers

  • How do I use the same Itunes for both my IPOD and IPAD?

    How do i use itunes for both my ipod and ipad? and have everything on both of them.

    You can connect one of them to your computer's iTunes, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side select the Music tab and choose what to sync to that device - you can then connect, select and sync the same content to your other device.

  • ITunes won't recognize iPad mini?

    Whenever I plug my iPad mini into my PC, the PC will recognize the iPad mini. I can open folders and view files. But the iPad will NOT open in iTunes. I have no way to sync anything.
    I've tried restarting the computer and rebooting the iPad. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. iPad mini is running iOS 7.1.1 so up to date and everything. I'm getting REALLY frustrated over here.

  • Itunes won't recognize ipad first generation

    Itunes is updated. Recognizes iPhone 5.
    My first gen iPad went on the blitz after the update and would kill off after five minutes, no matter if it was fully charged or not. I attempted the obvious restarts and resets. Reset back to factory settings via iTunes. After that it requests to be registered again, however it will not go through. Attempt to hook it to iTunes as suggested but it eventually says iTunes is "Unable to help" and isn't recognized. Attempted the home/off reboot, plug to computer/hold home key, but iTunes does not recognize iPad at all in this state.
    I've read that some suggest this is a software issue and that Apple suggests this is a hardware issue. What are my options at this stage? Can this be repaired at all?

  • ITunes 12 for iMac won't recognize any devices

    Just upgraded to iTunes 12.  Now none of my device (iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPad, iPod) are recognized.  All. Connections are good, never had an issue before.  Tried uninstallIngrid but iMac won't let me delete iTunes to reinstall.  All settings are good and have tried powering off and on.

    Hello Anlumsdaine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.l
    In iTunes 12, the location to where you would see your iOS devices connected has changed.  Take a look at the picture below on where you can locate your devices.  If you still do not see your devices when connected, follow the article linked to at the bottom of this message.

    My computer won't recognize my Ipad anymore.  It will charge but I can't open it up on Itunes.  I have tried a couple of chords and 2 computers.  Why can't I access my Ipad>

    Hi murray111,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Are your iPad and computers updated to the latest version of the operating systems and iTunes?  Are you working with a PC or Mac computer?  I've included information for troubleshooting this issue on both systems.

  • New version itunes (Dec 2012) won't recognize my ipod touch.

    Since installing new itunes on computer, the program won't recognize my ipod.  It does recognize my daughter's iphone.  I've gone through several troubleshooting lists, restarting devices and doing everything recommended.  I did a tutorial to help me recognize the new features and the one that's supposed to be there for my device just isn't.
    Help?

    I've had the same problem. Go in and unplug all devices.Go to Control panel> Uninstall programs> Uninstall all programs accotiated with Mac ****If you are Windows**** (Itunes,Itunes update,Ipod touble shoot). Just go into list a separt by Developer and click on each and uninstall each by apple/ Macintosh, what ever yours says. Restart Download the newest version of itunes then. It should work.
    P.S. Where are you from? ( What state?)
