Missing iTunes Icon on iPad
After starting iTunes when connecting iPad to my MacBook, the iTunes icon on my iPad disappeared... I checked under General -> Restrictions, and iTunes was allowed to be ON. I resetted under General -> Reset -> Reset Home Screen Layout, but no changed happened and the iTunes icon is still missing... Can someone please help? Thanks!
Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
4. Ignore the red slider

I attempted to update to latest version of IOS. Now all I get on the display is a graphic of the power cord with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. Ipad does not seem to power down or power up correctly. Home button is not responding.
I am new to this, could you provide me with a little more detail on how to do this? Thanks so much!

ITunes Airplay Icon Missing (iTunes 12, Windows 8.1)
Hi, all.
I'm new to the forum and did search for this topic, but most items I found were for 2013 and 2014.
I just updated to iTunes 12.1.1.4 and run Windows 8.1. I have an Apple TV in the media room, Apple Airport Express hooked up to a speaker in the living room, and an iHome iW1 speaker in the kitchen on my network.
On my iPad Air 2, I can see:
- Apple TV
- Airport Express
- iHome iW1
On my iPhone 6, I can see:
- Apple TV
- Airport Express
On my Windows machine, I can see:
- Nothing. There is no Airplay icon.
I'm willing to write off the iPhone issue. The iHome product has always been a bit buggy requiring way more restarts/resets than I thought was reasonable. But the Windows missing Airplay icon is maddening. It's the only way to broadcast music to more than one speaker in my pseudo-Sonos setup.
I've tried various fixes (restarts, modem restarts, IPv6/IPv4 switch on & off) with no luck. Anyone else experiencing this problem and/or have a suggested fix? Thanks!Hey tomfrombothell,
I understand that you are experiencing some issues with your ability to AirPlay from iTunes on your PC. I do have some suggestions for you regarding this issue that can be found in the following article:

I updated my ipad 3 with the ios7 update. Now the screen shows the itunes icon and a pic of the plug in (as to plug into itunes) When I do this it wants to restore my ipad, which I have already done. I can't get out of this screen. Any hints on what to do next?
Something went wrong with your update; you are in Recovery Mode.
Follow step 1 to 6 closely to recover your iPad.

i tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use
That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
You can read bout it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

I attached Ipad to my computer to sync. I received a message indicating there was a new version of the software. During the update, the Ipad crashed. The screen on the ipad is showing the iTunes icon and the USB cord. The ipad no longer shows up in my devices. I have followed all instructions online to reset the ipad,and I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. No change. The same screen appears on the ipad within seconds of turning it on.
Same here. And iTunes doesnt recognize the ipad anymore, even though it works fine with my iphone. Plugged the ipad into my other laptop, i get the recovery mode message, but nothing works.
Tried calling apple support, but since my 90 days of free phone service is past, those morons want me to buy applecare. Yea, ill pass. -

Hi, I was backing up my iPad 2 and it gave me an error message. Since then, my iPad has been dead or should I say, STUCK. The screen shows the iTunes image with an image of a USB cable under it with an arrow pointing towards the iTunes icon. I haven't been able to get it to unfreeze and when I connect it to iTunes, iTunes doesn't give me the option to Sync or Restore. It actually just goes into the iTunes Store section and I can't access the part I need. Please help! Thank You!!!!!
You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?
What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions -
When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!
Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

My ipad has a itunes icon and a charger connection but won't go to the home screen
I tried to update my iOS system on my iPad 2 yesterday and it never went through because I didn't have it connected to the charger. This morning when I tried to update again I got the same problem. The only differenc is that I was able to get to my homescreen once before the screen blacked out all execpt for the iTunes icon and the charger cord symbol. Now I cannot get any screen to appear on the iPad besides that. I have tried plugging my charger into the iPad and the symbol only goes away when I hold the power button. It reappears when I hold the power button. Is this normal for the new updating system?
YOU ARE IN RECOVERY MODE (something went wrong with update)
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
