Just connected my new iPad to computer and iTunes doesn't recognise it - no pairing message comes up- help plz

Does anyone know why no pairing for device comes up when I connect my iPad to iTunes on my computer?

No, iPod is not connected when iPhone is connected to computer. I plugged iPod in later to check USB ports.
ETA: This is very odd...I decided to try the cable for my 2nd gen Nano with the iPhone - and I'll be darned! The iPhone now works just fine with iTunes! Synching now...Guess I'll have to go back into the Apple Store tomorrow to get a replacement for the cord that came with my iPhone!

  • My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

    Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

    Out of a silly curiosity, in what way did Ralph's reply solve your problem? (not that Ralph doesn't deserve recognition, mind you.)

  • IPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots it doesn't recognise the select and play button

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I bought a new computer, and iTunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what i do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything, and I want all that on my laptop..

    I bought a new computer, and downloaded  iTunes, therefore  the new itunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what I do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything that my phone has on it, I just want it all moved to my laptop. Does that make sense? I could really use some help. I don't live with this desktop anymore so I need to be able to use my laptops itunes. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 not charge correctly?  Problem is definitely with the phone and not charges or chords.  Phone will charge but very slowly and no icon comes on.  Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it a being connected.

    My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly.  It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging.  I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone.  My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device.  Neither does the computer.  The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs.  My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port.  I'm out of warranty.
    Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?

    I checked with the Genius Bar.  It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me.  She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same.  She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
    I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
    I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
    I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3.  I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
    That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

  • Connected a different ipad to computer now itunes does not see original ipad

    I syned my Ipad 1 to my girlfriends pc and opened itunes. Now when she connects her ipad 2 to her pc it only sees my ipad and not hers, how come

    If you synced, i tunes may be thinking you are still there.  Open up i tunes, and sign out, then have her sign in with her apple account. 
    Syncing two different accounts on the same computer can be tricky.
    Naah.  Each one should snap right in and it doesn't matter what account is identified.  At least that's the way that they work with a Mac.  I do not understand Windoze machines.

  • TS1538 My computer and itunes won't recognise my ipod. It's not coming up anywhere, not even in the device manager as a camera or whatever the troubleshooting said it might say. Plugging it in with the USB cable just charges the device.

    Ipod is not connecting to itunes. It doesn't show up in itunes, 'my computer' or the device manager and plugging in the cord just charges the device.

    Hey, first off, i'd like to say i'm not extremely technical - but i'll try and keep up. i'm having more or less the same problem as JasperMack, only, iTunes is recognizing it as my brother's iPod - Not mine. I've searched through the device manager and i got nothing that will recognize it there. My iPod DOES however charge, it almost takes on the roll of my brother's - only problem is when i got to sync it, it says "no device avalible" or whatever. I got this iPod 2nd-Hand (probably a bad idea) and i have no idea what to do. This is the 1st time i've attempted to to plug it into my computer and it's already taking a flying leap into hte zone of "not working" anything???

  • Stupid of me but i reset my ipod (not connected) now all it shows is a cable to itunes but computer and itunes will not recognise any device

    I formatted my ipod touch (stand alone) and of course now its empty and computer and or itunes wil not recognize device or drive. what to do?

    tmplHi pranoop,

  • Just got my new iPhone 3G home and iTunes won't recognize it

    My phone was activated at the Apple Store. I was even using as soon as I got out of the store (for email and such). It won't show up in iTunes. In fact, when it's connected to my Macbook, it doesn't even show it's charging. There's nothing wrong with the USB ports - I've got my old iPod connected right now, and it's showing up just fine in iTunes. My phone gives the charging message only when it's plugged into the USB adapter into an electrical outlet. I've everything the troubleshooting document says - except for uninstalling iTunes. Both my iTunes and computer are fully updated. I checked just to make sure.
    Any ideas? Phone works fine (well, haven't tried to make a phone call) - it just won't show as charging when connected to Macbook or show in iTunes.
    Any ideas? This is a little disappointing.

    No, iPod is not connected when iPhone is connected to computer. I plugged iPod in later to check USB ports.
    ETA: This is very odd...I decided to try the cable for my 2nd gen Nano with the iPhone - and I'll be darned! The iPhone now works just fine with iTunes! Synching now...Guess I'll have to go back into the Apple Store tomorrow to get a replacement for the cord that came with my iPhone!

  • I have transfered all my music onto an external hard drive from my old computer and itunes wont recognize the songs in my library...help!!

    **** YOU ITUNNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    I did the same XP to Windows 7 upgrade about 18 months ago.   I decided to keep iTunes permanently on the external drive than the c drive to save c: drive space. 
    ITunes database has pointers to MP3 files located in Artist's directories.  If you want to use a different location than the default C:\ drive for iTunes, then you need to recreate the Itunes database by deleting all songs in iTunes, then change the default location for iTunes files to your external drive.  Then import the MP3 files from the external drive into the empty iTunes database through the iTunes import facility.  
    If you screw up the timing of the import and find you have multiple iTunes directories (instead of just the default location), then iTunes has a new feature to consolidate all iTunes MP3 files back into the central default location.  In iTunes, FILE, LIBRARY, ORGANIZE LIBRARY, then CONSOLIDATE FILES.
    To change the default directory for MP3 files, in Tunes go to EDIT, PREFERENCES, ADVANCED and then CHANGE the location to where you want the Itunes MP3 files to be located (including the iTunes subdirectory under which all the artist directories are held.  Mine are on the F: drive or whatever your computer states is your drive assignment for the external drive.
    Note iTunes 10.5 has many problems that Apple hopefully are working on....we seem to have gone backwards on working components in this iCloud based release.  So maybe keep on using old computer until 10.6 is released.
    Enjoy
