My ipad 2 currently syncs with itunes, but it it no longer recognised on any pc as a removeable drive and I need to delete 2g of photos to install IOS7.03. Why are all pcs no longer recognising ipad?

Currently have an IPad 2, running ios 6.1.3, looking to update to ios 7.03, but I need to delete 2g of photos. Reading posts, I need to do this via the internal storage, but when I connect ipad to any of our 3 pcs, whilst it is recognised by itunes, it is not listed as a removable device, so am unable to locate device nor its storage. Our iphones and ipods all connect and are recognised, why not ipad?? HELP!

This is great, BUT my pc does NOT recognise the ipad anymore, so I have nothing to import from..... it WAS recognised in the morning, but not by lunchtime on three different pc's. How do I get the pc's to recognise the ipad again??

  • My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

    Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Ipad not Syncing with iTunes

    I am having increasing problems with getting my iPad to Sync with Itunes on my 17" MacBook Pro.  Both Mac OS and iTunes up to date with latest software as is the iPad.  The trouble started a couple of months ago with some apps failing to sync.  I deleted them from the iPad and then it was ok for a while, however this has repeated itself with an increasing frequency.
    Today, whenever I connect my iPad to Itunes it will not sync.  It starts with the message "Waiting to Sync" then after a while briefly displays Cancelling Sync and then stops.  If I try and move from the Summary tab in iTunes to the Apps tab I get the spinning ball of death and iTunes hangs until I either Force Quit or unplug the iPad.
    Interestingly there is no problem when I connect my wifes iPad to my Macbook Pro.  However I have the same problem when I try to connect to iTunes on her MacAir.
    I have reset my iPad's settings.  I have restarted my Mac and iPad numerous times.  I have deleted all the iPad backup files on iTunes and done just about everything I can find with respect to things even remotely similar from the web or discussion boards.  Logically I have to assume it is something on my iPad however everything else is working fine - or so it seems.
    Anybody else out there with this or a similar problem or any suggestions???
    Thanks in advance.

    I want to start off by saying the latest update is the worst piece of software I have ever tried downloading onto my computer. After three unsuccesful updates directly from Itunes I downloaded it to file and then installed three times before it succesfully installed. At this point Itunes would freeze when trying to recognize my Ipad, Ive reinstalled twice more including individual installs of Quicktime and Itunes and NOTHING is making this worthless software work. I am not impressed at all Apple, as a matter of fact I'm tempted to NEVER buy another Apple product again because of how poor this latest update is. but whatever, some help would be nice.

  • I've set up my email on my ipad to sync with yahoo but i'm missing my most recent emails are missing has anyone else come across this?

    Hi,
    Could anyone help, point me in the right direction
    I've set up my email on my ipad to sync with yahoo but i'm missing my most recent emails. Can't find any obvious settings faults.
    Thanks.

    Hi Jeremy,
        That is my understanding.  Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account. 
       But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only.  I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
       That's correct--it will not delete your purchases.  You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff.  -Bob-

  • 2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

    My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs.  It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

    If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes.  If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
    If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
    NOTE:  If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music.  Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content.  If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
    If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
    One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content).  Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

    Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Hello ashharuddin,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
    Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    Restore the iPhone.
    Have a nice day,

  • How do I transfer my iPhone, currently synced to a PC to sync with my Mac, which my iPad currently syncs with?

    My iPhone 4 currently synchs with iTunes on my Windows PC.  I also have an iPad, which synchs with iTunes on my Mac.  I'm about to retire my Windows PC and would therefore like to switch my iPhone to synch with iTunes on my Mac.  
    My Mac iTunes already has the full music and video libraries that are on my PC.  Also, I have transferred all the Apps purchased to my Mac iTunes.   I don't care much about my playlists, history, etc. on the iTunes on my PC.   
    The contacts on my iPhone were previously syching with Outlook on my PC.  They are also being synched with iCloud (Contacts is turned on within iCloud when accessed from Settings on my iPhone). 
    So, my question is:  can I just authorise my Mac for synching with my iPhone and then just go ahead and synch with iTunes on my Mac?  Will I lose anything on my phone by doing this?   Contacts?  SMS messages?   The photos in the Camera Roll album on my iPhone?   If not, then will Contacts, SMS messages, and the photos in the Camera Roll album automatically start getting backed up on my Mac iTunes? 
    Alternatively, if I back up the iTunes libraries from my PC to my Mac (I've seen several posts about this) and then transfer it to my Mac, wouldn't I be effectively overwriting all the iTunes content on my Mac?   I have some TV shows and Books on my Mac iTunes that don't exist on my Windows PC iTunes.  In this case, would I lose these? 
    I'm basically ooking for a way to consolidate all my content on the two machines to my Mac and then start using that to synch both my iPhone and iPad..... but don't want to lose my non-iTunes content (SMS messages, Contacts, the Camera Roll album)  on my iPhone. 
    Any suggestions are welcome.  Please help!!
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT4859 Do I need to turn backup on to allow iCloud to store data?  Can I turn it off again so iPad will sync with iTunes?

    Do I need to turn on iCloud Backup to,store data?  Can I turn it off again so it is not on automatic and will resume syncing with iTunes?

    You don't have to turn on iCloud backup to sync data with iCloud, but you do if you want to back up to iCloud.  (You sync data with iCloud by going to Settings>iCloud and turning the data you want to sync with your iCloud account to On, and choosing Merge to upload your data.)
    Also, backing up to iCloud does not prevent you from sycing with iTunes.  All it does is cause your iPad to be automatically backed up to iCloud instead of automatically backing up to your computer each time you sync.  And even if you are automatically backing up to iCloud, you can always manually back up to your computer using iTunes at any time by connecting your iPad to your computer, clicking on the name of your iPad in iTunes, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sycn settings, and clicking on Back Up Now.
    You can, of course change back to automatically backing up to your computer using iTunes at any time as well.
