Itunes is not recognizing my ipad wirelessly

All of a sudden iTunes is not recognizing my iPad through my wireless network. It does recognize my phone however. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, turning my iPad off and on and everything. Still nothing. This just started yesterday.

Have you checked to make sure that the iPad is still set for WiFi sync in iTunes in the Summary Pane of iTunes? Sometime settings go wonky - it happened to me tonight.
Connect the with the cable again to check the setting - if iTunes is not seeing the iPad via wifi you will have to use the cable. So connect again - check the settings - sync with the cable again - then select the WiFi option again and click on Apply. Let the changes apply and eject the iPad.
Quit iTunes, restart your computer and then try again.

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

    iTunes is not recognizing my iPad, I am using windows 8 on my PC

    Do you have iTunes 11? If not, upgrade.
    Try a different USB port
    Try a different cable if you have one.
    Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. let it reboot and try again.

    You need to follow the instructions in the article you reference, restore using the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 which should also make iTunes see the iPad.

  • ITunes is not recognizing or connecting to network

    My iTunes is not recognizing or connecting to my network. Everytime I try to update my iPhone 4S to the its latest OS software or update my apps via iTunes Store, it prompts up an error message as:
    'The iPhone software update server could not be contacted.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
    My net otherwise is working to the best of its abilities without any glitches whatsoever.
    If I were to change any settings or anything else, please let me know.
    Your help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Try restarting your iPad : press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider; then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. If the book download doesn't re-start, then you could try downloading the book to your computer and then syncing/copying it across to your iPad.
    You could also go to Settings, General, Reset All Settings.

  • 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.)

  • Iphoto is not recognizing my iPad as a device to import pictures

    my iPad is connected to my macbook pro, but it is not recognizing my iPad as a "device" to be able to import pictures/videos. 

    Is the device recognized in iTunes when you connect it with the USB cable?

  • Windows PC not recognizing my iPad

    plugged iPad into my Dell laptop (first time in a while) and get message that iPad cannot be recognized because there is a lower version of iTunes present.  Not sure if that meant on the PC or on the iPad.  Downloaded the upgrade on the PC, but still not recognition of iPad.  Click on iTunes button on iPad but cannot find nor am I prompted to download any updated version of iTunes.
    All I am trying to do is transfer some photos from my PC to the iPad.  This is INSANE on how difficult this process is.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I am sure it is a simple fix, but there is no obvious instruction that I can find to help me out.

    not sure what you mean when you say 'i have updated the iOS on my iPad' - I have not done anything to the iPad yet.  I did download the latest version of iTunes on the laptop.  That should be current.  The iTunes on my laptop is not recognizing the iPad....and giving me a warning that the iPad needs to be updated.
    I do not know how to update my iPad, I guess.

    Apple - Support - iPhone - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
    If  the issue persists after following the troubleshooting assistant,  continue with the steps below, testing to see if the issue is resolved  after each section.
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. iTunes 10 and later requires Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes and Install software updates on your Mac.
    Check  USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If  you are not sure if your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications. Disconnect other USB devices, and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
