ITunes on Windows 7 does not show iPad2 as a device.

I want to use iTunes to trasfer contents to iPad. iTunes does not detect iPad while iPad shows in Windows Explorer. Last month it used to work sometimes, and every time after I reinstalled iTunes. 
I have tried to reinstall iTunes, restart Windows 7 and iPad, and stop other Windows services. iTunes 10.5.2.11 and iOS 5.0.1 are the current versions.
I made an appointment with Apple Expresslane Support later, but wonder if anyone can help me here.

It works now following the discussion "My iPad 2 doesn't show up in iTunes" posted by iFart last month ! 
Using the USB ports on the back of computer (instead of the front ones) works without a problem.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

  • When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".

    When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
    My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
    Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:

  • I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar.  I want to sync. How do I do it?

    I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes.  The iPad does not show up in the sidebar.  How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
    In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad".  I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account.  I am confused.  I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

  • I have downloaded latest itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync.  Any suggestions?

    I have just gotten my new ipad!!!  I downloaded latest version of itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync music.  Any suggestions??

    Does a little box come up seeing the iPad as a camera? That doesn't impact iTunes as much as it confirms that your computer sees the device. If your computer doesn't see it then iTunes doesn't know it's there.
    If you're plugged into a hub or extender, try plugging it directly into the box or main part of your computer.
    If you're using an extension, stop and just use the included sync cable.
    Try using a different USB port.
    After you installed iTunes, did you restart your computer?
    Usually what's needed is the 'apple device driver' which installs automatically, you just need to sometimes trigger the install, using different ports helps with that.
    If the simple trouble shooting doesn't help then you can search on the Apple Device Driver and there's more detailed trouble shooting on the site.

  • When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device.

    When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device. I have tried the advice provided by Apple. I have gone through the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant. That gave no solutions. I have tried the other solutions offered by Apple. I think that I have possibly identified the problem. As far as I know the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not installed on my computer. I have tried to install it but when I do I receive an error message. I repeat the entire error message in the following paragraph. The message appears in a dialogue box with the name: "Update Driver Software - iPhone".
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Access is denied. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    I cannot find a solution to this problem on Apple's website. How can I get this driver installed?

  • I have an old ipod shuffle and I cannot get it to sync because it does not show up in my devices list...? HELP!!!

    I cannot get my old ipod shuffle to sync because it does not show up in my devices list!!! I have tried letting it die and then plugging it in and still no success!! HELP!!!

    To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
    Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.

  • Windows 7 does not show my Ipad2 in my computer but Itunes does

    I have tried 2 diff. Ipad 2's as well as an Iphone 4 and windows 7 does not see them. any suggestions ?

    ITunes has nothing to do with the windows operating system so sync wont work because the photo's are on the pad not the computer. I will call apple support. I think it has something to do with the apple drivers for windows that changed in the latest upgrade
