Itunes recognizes iPad, but doesn't show up a summery bar...

Hey everyone. I just recently bought an iPad today, and was so eager to get started on using it.
I plugged it into my mac, and itunes opens up... that's all it ******* does though!
Basically on the devices screen it DOES show the iPad, but when I click on the iPad, where the summery section is meant to be, there is only the "iPad" name on a white background... THATS ALL IT DOES!
I just want it to work, please help me with this because it's really irritating :S
Thanks! o0 Will Ryan 0o

I haven't seen this or read about it here, but this is what I'd try, in order:
(I am assuming you activated the ipad, right? If not, do that first.)
1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
3) Reinstall itunes on the computer.

  • ITunes recognizes iPhone, but doesn't show sync screen-what to do?

    My iphone 3G S is authorized, has the latest software and I am running the latest iTunes as well on my MacBook.
    When I connect the iPhone, the icon is visible on the left hand side pane in iTunes—under 'devices', but the screen freezes when I select the iphone icon, i.e. nothing seems to happen and I can't see anything related to syncing my iPhone.
    File->'Sync iPod' item is also dimmed.
    (Photos sync automatically, with no problem)
    I can't seem to find any relevant info so far, because iTunes recognizes the iPhone in my case—but won't show the sync screen.

    First step is to see if the problem is with the phone, the USB or the computer. For the USB make sure you are connecting to a port on the back of the computer, not to a hub and not to the keyboard. Try connecting to a different computer. If it works you have narrowed the problem. If it doesn't the problem is the phone or the cable, so try a different cable. If it works on a different computer try creating a new user on your computer, then see if you can connect when logged on as that user (you could do this first, of course).

  • HT4539 Downloaded movie from iTunes in iPad but doesn't show up

    I tried purchasing a movie from ITunes on my computer first and it wouldn't finish so then I tried downloading it directly from the IPad and it doesn't show up at all. Am I missing something?

  • My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder

    My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal.  Any ideas?  I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong!  I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
    Thanks!

    The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
    Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
    Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar.  I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

  • Contact entered on iPad but doesn't show on iphone or computer

    I'm using iCloud on iPad, iPhone, and my Mac Pro. I entered a contact on my iPad three days ago, but it doesn't show on my iPhone or Mac Pro.
    iCloud is on on all three devices under the same account. Help?

    Thanks for the followup!
    You can set the default calendar for new events with this info from the iPad iOS 8 user guide:
    There are several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars that affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
    Default calendar for new events
    And to add your Gmail contacts to your Contacts in the Menu Bar:
    Contacts can manage your contact information from other accounts, such as Facebook and Google. Just add those accounts (choose Contacts > Add Account), and you’ll have access to all your current contact information from anywhere.

  • Itunes recognizes ipad but computer does not show it under MyComputer

    when i plugged my old iphone into my computer, my computer would show it as another hard drive when i clicked My Computer. My new Ipad does not. I tunes recognizes it and it is accessable but still would like to access it via other programs. ie movie conversion, transfer photos, documents.
    btw it was not recognizeable on two different computers
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The iPad has no disk mod or camera roll so it is not accessible as a drive. You phone, if it had a camera had the photos taken available via them showing up in a disk drive.

  • Itunes recognizes ipad but not iphone 5,

    I have itunes 11.0.2 installed on windows 7. I can connect and sync my ipad 3 with no problems. When I connect my iphone 5, I hear the "beep" and it starts charging but itunes doesn´t open. When I open itunes manually, the iphone does not appear connected.
    I have followed the steps in this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538) but the problem is not resolved.

  • I have tv shows in my library but when I try to put them on my ipad it doesn't show the tv shows in to sync

    I have recently reinstalled itunes on to my laptop. I have tv shows in my library which i downloaded from itunes but when I try and sync them to my ipad it doesn't show them in the sync page. can anyone help ?

    Have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a 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.
    If neither of the above work then you could also try deleting the app and re-installing it - as long as the books are still in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!

  • HT204266 changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps

    changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps. Any solution?

    As long as you didn't create a new ID and merely changed the email address that you use for your Apple ID - go to Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the changed ID.
    If you created a new ID, you need to continue to use the old ID in order to update apps since purchases are always tied to the ID used to make the purchase.
