ITunes Wont Detect iPad Tried Everything!!!

Here's what I've done over the past 2 days to get where I am now.
1) factory reset my computer completely wiped all files and cleared the hard drive.
2) downloaded iTunes
3) updated iPad to newest software (iPad worked perfect)
4) factory reset iPad
- got stuck in factory reset, after it finished I was told to connect to iTunes but iTunes would no longer even recognize when the device was plugged in.
-hard reset (holding power and home button) did not work
- resolved the issue by uninstalling iTunes and all components in a specific order via Apple's directions (yes I double checked my Program and Programx86 folders to make sure everything was removed) https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204275
5) re-downloaded iTunes
6) plugged in device and got the error message that you see in the picture
- plugged device into computer, hard reset, waited for computer to recognize it again after hard reset and got the same message.
-iPad is still stuck on "connect to iTunes" logo
[note:  yes I have a warranty for my computer but I'm hoping to resolve the issue myself first]

Does the iPad charge when plugged into the wall outlet charger? If so, then the iPad's port and the USB cable are fine, and the issue is indeed with the computer.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Every time I try to get on itunes store on my ipod it tells me that it "cannot connect to itunes store", I've tried everything even restored the ipod to factory settings and nothing, can some one please give a solution that will work?

    Hi datnativeBUNNZ,
    If your iPod can't connect to the iTunes store, check out this article for some additional troubleshooting steps:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts. 
    Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet. 
    Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Take care!

  • Upgrading to Windows vista means itunes wont detect my ipod?? Help please.

    Recently upgraded to windows Vista. Big whopdeedo.
    But anyway, when I plug my ipod in, windows tries to update drivers for it, but of course failas horribly.
    However, this is having a knock on effect that means itunes wont detect my ipod. So, while my ipod recharges, I cannot sync it. Thus I can't add new songs and what-not.
    Please help.

    Yes my ipod is jailbroken, but this has never proved an issue before.
    Its not just itunes that now wont recognise my ipod, my other software wont either, and they used to work with the jailbroken ipod.
    This all started after i synced a nano, then connected my ipod and a screen came up saying ipod camera connected.
    I click on the camera icon in mycomputer and properties tab then selected take no action in the events tab.
    This hasnt resolved my issue, and the ipod still comes up as a camera in mycomputer, the only difference being im now not prompted to choose a program to view my photos with.
    This is really getting up my nose, as for the second poster, sorry that article was no help at all.
    Please someone help me

  • ITunes wont detect iPhone - Urgent help!!!!!

But 2 days ago all of a sudden my iTunes wasn able to detect the Iphone, i tried everything, differrent USB plugin, reinstalling iTunes, reinstalling Bonjour but nothing changed.

    I had this problem... you just update the iPhone device driver.
    Go to Device Manager (Start> type "Device Manager" in search field), under Portable Devices (might also be under imaging devices), look for Apple iPhone and right click it. Click to browse online to update the driver software.
    Also make sure Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service are running (Administrative Utilities>Services). If they are, might restart them anyway.

  • I keep getting an error message that says "The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when I try to install iTunes.  I have tried everything on the website.

    I keep getting an error message that says "The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when I try to install iTunes.  I have tried everything on the website.  When i try to remove the components of iTunes I get the same message.  How can I download iTunes?

    Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • Ipod Nano icon not showing in  itunes and I've tried everything suggested

    My ipod nano is not showing in itunes and I've tried everything that has been suggested by Apple.  I updated iTunes, I've reset the ipod.  I just want to download my songs!  Help! Please and Thank you.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation is not being detected by Widows and Itunes. I have tried everything based on the trouble shooting tips outlined. Has anyone had this situation before? How was it resolved. My Ipod is just out of warrenty

    Have done all trouble shooting tech a through Apples and still have not resolved issues on Windows and itunes not detecting my Ipod  nano 5th generation device. Tried restoring the device manually using disk mode and still not being detected by the computer. Device is our of warenty as when service repair charges are $125.00 dolars more than I paid for this device. There must be some way to restore the entire device to factor settings without having to be connected to itunes and Windows. I wish I could connect but again device is not being read. I have another Ipod that is 8GB instaed of 16GB and it works fine. The sad thing about this situation is that my 9year old daughter worked hard doing delivering fliers for a long time to save her money to buy this 16 GB 5th generation Nano. Otherwise the Ipod works well but will not syncronize songs as it is not being detected. Maybe this is a result of corrupt files that got onto my daughters Ipod somehow and thus causing it not the be detwected through the USB connection thus as a result not be understoud as a working device through Windows and itunes. If anyone can help me out there including itune techs that would be well appreciated, but for now my daughter is not able to add new or delete any songs on her ipod as well pictures, and everything. Thanks

    Try changing the cord. I could NOT get my computer to recognize my iPod 5th Gen until I read somewhere that different apple devices use different cords. I was inadvertently using my iPad cord and that caused my computer to not recognize my ipod.

  • My ipod wont recognise and show up in iTunes. I've tried everything! Can anyone help?

    I have a new computer with windows 7 and I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and when I open iTunes it wont show up in the devices section. My computer recognises it in the usb 2.0 slot but, iTunes wont. I have tried all the advice from iTunes support and youtube which is uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, using different usb ports and updating and repairing all programs.

  • ITunes wont detect iPhone 3g3

    I updated iTunes to 10.5 yesterday and am now trying to sync my iPhone 3Gs 16gb.  For some reason iTunes doesnt detect the iPhone at all. I have tried the following:
    - Restarting the mac (Running 10.5.8)
    - Turning phone off and on again
    - Restarting phone by holding home and lock buttons
    - Restarting iTunes (iTunes does lock up when doing this but does work eventually)
    - Force quitting iTunes
    - Pluging into different USBs
    I think that iTunes is the problem because when I plug the phone in it charges. However I updated my iPad with no problems yesterday.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I had this problem... you just update the iPhone device driver.
    Go to Device Manager (Start> type "Device Manager" in search field), under Portable Devices (might also be under imaging devices), look for Apple iPhone and right click it. Click to browse online to update the driver software.

  • ITunes match problems already tried everything i could find

    I didnt know there was an itunes match forum also so i am reposting my post here:
    I was just on the.phone with apple support the last two hours but they could not help me so I was hoping I might be finding help here.
    We got a new iPhone (5s) and two iPod touch ( 5 refurbished) and wanted them to be set up with iTunes Match. What happened Is when I access the music app on any of those 3 devices only a small fraction of music (244 instead of over 5000) show up. To add insult to the injury when I click on them they won't play! They also won't download. Interestingly the songs are the exact same ones on the three devices
    We also have two iPads and a MacBook Pro which all are working fine.
    I tried everything I could find and what apple suggested but nothing worked ( e.g. Turning on and off iTunes Match, restarting, resetting/ whipping the device)
    It's just wired that the thee new devices show the same music and the old ones show the full library. I even signed out off my account on my old ipad and when I signed in everything was accessible.
    Thank you for any help!

    everytime I try to open it, all my computer does is pretend like it's loading but then does nothing.
    Can you check something for me please?
    Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
    Now try to launch iTunes.
    Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?
