ITunes sees iPad as camera

ITunes on my Mac Air sees my iPad 4 as a camera only and prevents sync. Newest version of iTunes. Any ideas.

If there are any photos in the Camera Roll you will get a prompt like you mentioned when connecting your iPad to your computer. It is indeed a good reminder to save those photos to your computer. But if you don't want to copy those photos to your computer then dismiss the window and start iTunes. Once iTunes is running you should e able to sync your iPad.

  • ITunes doesn't see my iPad. Tried all the fixes, except reloading iTunes. I have the most current version of iTunes. Computer sees iPad as camera. Any ideas?

    iTunes doesn't recognize my iPad. Computer just sees it as a camera. Tried all the fixes, except for reloading iTunes; I do have the most current iTunes available. Any ideas?

    Nobody from Apple answers any questions here other than those that go longer than 24 hours without a response and all that those Apple people do is to direct users to kb articles that might help in given situations. It pretty much ends there. So don't expect "Apple" to hear your pleas.
    if you want help from Apple, make an appointment at an Apple store and see if they can diagnose the problem for you. The only other thing that I could suggest is to connect your iPad to another computer running iTunes. If iTunes sees the iPad, then the issue is on your computer somewhere. If you try this, you want to turn off auto sync on the other computer. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.

  • Itunes sees iPad as an iPhone under the App tab...

    I'm having trouble getting iTunes to recognize the iPad as IPAD and iTunes think it's an iPhone, so essentically, it wouldn't install any iPad specific apps on my iPad. Anyone having this same problem and how to solve it?
    I restore it factory once and it work, but then after I sync my iPhone with iTunes the next day, it thinks my iPad as an iPhone again in iTunes. Restore the second time does not work anymore.
    Thank you so so much! I need a solution desperatly!!!

    How did you originally initiate your iPad? If you didn't do it from your own computer with your own iTunes account, that may be the reason. Not sure how to re-initialize the iPad. I suggest you contact Apple.
    Also, instead of starting a new message (which could make people think that you got an answer already), just edit your existing message. Click on your name and you'll get a list of all your messages in the forum. Click on the one you want to edit and to the left of the Reply button you'll see a little curly cue graphic. That's the Edit button. Hit that and you can then edit your message any way you want or add more to it. Click Edit on the bottom and the edited message will post as if it were the original, except that it will say it was edited by you.
    Good luck on getting your iPad up and running!

    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.

    If you're really trying to use Windows 2000, then that's the problem. As you'll see on the box, you need at least XP/SP3.

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

  • Can't upgrade my ipad2 to ios5 .. itunes says ipad update server not found

    I have my main desktop I use for setting up my new iPad2.  Syncs fine, but when I tried to update to ios5, keep getting message that ipad update server is not available, check internet connection.  Itunes sees the internet, because it allows me to connect to the istore .. etc. Changed cables, I have tried it with firewall on, and firewall off .. makes no difference.  The test shows no connection, but you can see by the diagnostics that it did connect.
    PC is XP Pro,
    I could connect fine from my laptop, working on same home network, however if I upgrade, it will dump all my apps .. I don't want to lose everything.
    Is there a way to unsync my desktop, then sync with my laptop instead, backup, then do the update from my laptop?
    Here is the info below ..   Thank you ..

    It's my understanding that you do not need Lion on your Mac but you do need the latest version of iTunes. If you already have this, there may be some other problem.

  • I'm struggling with iOS6 and iTunes [new iPad Cellular]

    Last night I connect my new-ipad cellular and was informed to update iOS6. And yes, I did agree to update. After iTunes downloaded and it started updating software + firmware as usual. I think there should be no problem. After finishing updating firmware, I received a notification from iTunes: your ipad is restarting... But in the end, nothing happened. My iPad stayed silent. Power button and Home button have no effect now. I tried to plug ipad to my mac again and restart iTunes. The same notification, saying that my iPad is in recovery mode and I need to restore. This loop never ends. And my iPad doesn't work again.
    Please tell me what is the problem. if there is an issue of iOS6, software and firmware, please fix it NOW.
    I want my iPad back to work.
    All of my data was lost and I cannot use my iPad anymore. What a disaster!!!
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Restart the Mac and hold down Command+Option+R. Choose to reinstall OS X. The version of OS X your Mac came with will be installed.

  • How can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc?

    how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • ITunes sees existing iPhone as a new device!

    Hi, my first post here but I have been lurking for some time!
    A friend asked me to update his and his wife's iPhone's (both 3GS) to iOS 5 (currently on 4.2.1). I popped round to do it this but every time I plug his iPhone in, iTunes sees it as a new device and wants to either set it up as a complete new iPhone or use the backup of his wife's iPhone or kids iPod touch to restore it.  It can't find a previous backup for the device despite the fact that the iPhone was set up on that PC.  It would appear they've never previously updated their phones since originally setting them up but all the same, I'd expect iTunes to recognise the iPhone?
    Has anybody else had this happen before? Obviously I want to take a backup before installing iOS 5 but if I let iTunes set it up as a new device will it wipe the phone or will it recognise there's stuff already on there and back it up? Apps and music aren't an issue as they're in iTunes but he needs his contacts, SMS etc restored.  AIUI If Apple replace a phone they back up the old one first and restore it so how do they do it?  I don't want to click on 'Continue' and have iTunes wipe the iPhone!
    As a test I've just installed iTunes on an XP PC that I've never connected my iPhone to before, backed up the iPhone first and plugged it in.  iTunes reconised the iPhone and know everything about it, however I'm not sure if this is because I've already upgraded my phone to iOS 5 and it's backed up to iCloud?
    I've tried Googling but not found anything useful so far.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Bump!  Anybody got any ideas on this at all please?

  • I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad

    I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad.

    If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.
