ITunes no longer sees my iPad device

Every now and again iTunes ceases to recognose my iPad. I use an iMac, iPad, old MacBook and have Apple TV and Time Capsule.
I set a reminder in Calendar to sync/backup my iPad every week with my iMac but every so often, it just doesn't work. I haven't changed the settings but there's no Device listed in the sidebar and it's greyed out as an option in the dropdown menu. There's no summary button either.
I'm very nervous about rebooting stuff because I don't want to lose what I've got.

I have the same issue, I set my iPad2 to sync over wifi - but the PC now no longer sees it, and the only answer I've seen on the boards is to plug the iPad in via a USB cable and uncheck the box for wireless syncing... but... it's not recognizing the iPad via USB either, simply as a camera device.
... you can see the problem here, I'm sure :-)
If it isn't recognized, I don't ever see the iPad in my iTunes in order to turn off wifi sync - and on the iPad itself there is no visible way to switch it back either
Any ideas?

    Try

    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    New cable and different USB port?

  • HT1296 itunes no longer sees my i phone 4s? the computer sees it as a device with memory, how can i fix/change this?

    Itunes no longer sees my iphone 4s as a device? What can i do?

    Just to clarify:
    Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
    If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
    If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
    If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
    Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
    Right click on the first image of the selection.
    From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
    Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
    Click it.

  • My iphone no longer sees my airplay device

  • ID no longer sees my iPad via Folio Builder

    I've run into an issue where InDesign CS6 no longer sees my iPad via Folio Builder.  It was working perfectly for weeks during my app build.  Was able to conduct unit tests throughout build but for some reason InDesign no longer sees the iPad.  When I connect the iPad to my macbook pro via usb, iTunes detects and recognizes it.  I have all the recent software updates installed.  I even reinstalled Adobe Viewer app.  I make sure Adobe Viewer is running on my iPad and cable is connected.  Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

    If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

  • Put latest Itunes system on twice and itunes no longer recognises my ipad or ipod. any ideas?

    Put latest Itunes system on my computer (Windows XP latest upgrade before windows stopped supporting) two times now but itunes no longer recognises my ipad or ipod. Will recognise one Ipod touch but nothing else. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestion. The Ipad 2 is, so is the ipad 1 (can only go to OS5 as you know) The Ipod touch is but the ipod nano I cannot check as the system will not recognise it to use itunes to check the latest update. The computer is recognising the units in the Explorer area, it is just Itunes will not.

  • Itunes no longer sees ripped music or playlists

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to iTunes 12. Most of my music is imported from CD's & it's all stored on an external hard drive. I now have an issue where iTunes only sees about 50 songs (instead of over 17,000). It no longer sees any of my playlists either. However, if I look on my iPod (Classic 160 GB) all of the music is there.
    I therefore need to get my music and playlists from my iPod back into iTunes. I cannot find the original library file, or even a half decent old one. I know itunes will only move songs bought from the itunes store. I am tempted to pay for external software to do this but am a bit wary. I now also seem to have numerous
    Can anyone help?

  • Itunes no longer works on ipad on version 6 software

    My I tunes 10.6.1 no longer works with my upgraded software ipad 2 on version 6 stating my mac needs a higher operating system (currently on 10.5.8) to then upgrade I tunes 10.7. I can no longer use my ipad with itunes simply because I have an older mac operating system. An upgrade on the mac operating system is a lot of money . There is no roll back of ipad software from 6 to the original to cure this

    The upgrade to the Mac is around $30.00 if it is still available. You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I think that's the latest SL version.
    I copied this from another discussion.
    Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).
    Here is the discussion.

  • ITunes No longer connects to WiFi Devices

    So I have an iPhone and an iPad 2.  Since the release of OS5, I've been using WiFi sync and it's worked great.
    All of a sudden in the past few days, my iTunes will NOT connect to either device.  Nothing changed that I know of, it just doesn't work anymore.
    I used to start iTunes and it would automatically find the devices and show them in the list on the left hand side.  Now that doesn't happen, and when I try to sync from the devices, it says iTunes is unavailable.
    Suggestions?  thanks!

    Yeah they're both on the same network and have no WiFi issues other than sync.  IP scheme is good & stuff.  Think I might have just fixed it.  I've rebooted the machine (desktop that's hard wired to the router) several times to no avail.  Just now I booted the machine down, the restarted the router, then booted the machine back up.  As soon as I started iTunes, both devices came up like before.  Must have been the router not cooperating I guess.

  • ITunes no longer syncs with iPad 1 or iPhone 4

    I can not longer sync my iPad 1 or iPhone 4 to my Mac Pro (Lion) Everything was fine yesterday (with Lion); not sure what changed. My iPhone will charge thru the USB cable, but my iPad will not. I have tried restarting iTunes, my Mac Pro and my iPad. Does anyone have any ideas?????? Thanks in advance!

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

  • Upgraded iTunes no longer "sees" my airport express and will not network

    Since upgrading to iTunes 8.2, iTunes no longer recognizes or sees my airport express (there is no longer an option box on the lower right area of the iTunes info so I can select computer speaker or additional speakers. The iTunes help says it should recognize the network when it starts, but it doesn't. My Airport is working properly. Sure would like to get those living room speakers back in the game!

    I updated Airport Utility to 5.4.2 and even though it ended up telling me I hadn't changed my settings on the AE I use to play iTunes on my stereo, after the update of my Base and Express, the Multiple Speakers box appeared again on iTunes the next time I opened the iTunes window. Also, AU managed to, for the very first time, give me a solid green light on the AE, after a year + of blinking orange. So my advice is to update your Airport Utility and run it.

  • My Garmin plugin for Mac no longer sees my connected device

    I updated Firefox to 34.0.5, Every time i now log into Garmin for updates it downloads a Communicator Plugin but then it no longer recognizes my Garmin device (after restart) - says it cant detect the device even though it is plugged in (to my laptop, running OS Mav.

    There were both versions present so i disabled 4.1.0.0; did note that 4.2.0.0 is a Beta. Always Activate switched on for this one checked but sadly it says No device connected & then tries to locate it, unsuccessfully....

    Hello Frank1234, it seems (in your system details) that you have 2 versions of plugin installed, any luck if you disable the older "Garmin Communicator Plug-in Version 4.1.0.0", keep only the latest "Garmin Communicator Plug-in Version 4.2.0.0" ?
    thank you
