My ipad 2 is not being recognised by my laptop.

It says not recognising the hardware. I have tried both ways of opening, itunes first then plug in and the other way round ?

First things to try:
Different USB ports,
Different 30-pin to USB cable,
Restart the iPad (hold in sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously) then re-connect,
Try another computer.

  • External HD is not being recognised by my Macbook anymore.

    Hi,
    My External HD is not being recognised by my laptop anymore.
    It was working fine with the laptop as my time machine etc but the other day on the desktop I changed its' name to 'Nells External HD' or something like that.
    When I have subsequently replugged it in it is not showing up on the desktop at all.
    The time machine is not backing up and when I click into the time machine and browse for other backup disks it cannot find anything for me to select.
    Any help/ advice on how to find it would be appreciated
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem using Mavericks and Time Machine.
    The external HDD is no longer displayed on my desktop, I have changed USB ports and each time Disk Utility see the HDD and reports no problems with it, yet no icon is diplayed on the desktop.
    Time Machine does not see the external either. This is the first time that I have tried to backup since my last, successful attempt, 7 days ago.
    Any suggestions?

  • My ipad (mini) and ipod are not being recognised by itunes?

    When connecting both my ipad(mini) and ipod(7th gen) they are not being recognised by itunes.  I last connected just over a month ago and everything was fine.  When I last connected I also connected my old ipod(3rd gen) to add new playlists beforing giving to someone else.  When I first plugged in I got a message saying that the cable was not Apple authorised - both my cables are cables supplied with my ipod/ipad so came from Apple?  When I run diagnostics it says
    "Most recent devices not currently connected,  - iPod Nano (3rd Gen) and iPad Mini running firmware 6.1.3"  This is the first time I have tried to connect since updated my iPad with IOS7?  Please help I wanted to put Christmas playlists on both devices.....!

  • After updating ios my ipad is stuck in recovery mode and is not being recognised by the computer in windows or itunes.  Help!

    Help - I am stuck in Afghanistan on operations and my iPad mini has died.
    I tried to update the IOS as directed, there were a few error messages and I cancelled the process.
    The ipad now only shows the connect to itunes screen and is not being recognised by the computer in either windows or itunes.
    I have tried several resets and restarted the computer and reinstalled itunes.
    Is there anything else I can do.
    This is my only method of talking back to my family at the moment and is really quite important.

    Thanks, I will give it a go. Will it work on my computer after I do that?

  • My iphone 3GS is not being recognised by my PC?

    My iphone 3GS is not being recognised by my PC, either in itunes or My Computer as a drive. iPad and iPod work fine.
    Phone also not found on other computers I have tried.
    Tried resetting the phone. Reloaded iTunes. Stumped now.

    Now sorted thanks. It was the cable, seemed identical, would charge the phone through the USB port but did not show up as a drive.

  • My iPad2 is not being recognised as a device by my mac or my PC?

    All programmes are up to date. The iPad pops up in itunes but nothing else. It's not recognised as a device in image capture either. Any ideas why?
    The problem is I have a whole pile of photos that I want to get off the ipad that I can't access because it's not being recognised.
    I could email them all to myself but this would take forever. Entirely the opposite of convenient, which I thought the iPad was supposed to be.
    Photo stream only works so so, it's not sending all of my photos across, just ones it randomly selects. I really don't understand what that's about.
    If anyone has any tips they would be greatly appreciated.
    So far I have:
    -updated iPhoto software
    -updated iPad software
    -reset iPad
    -turned everything off and on again.
    Nothing seems to work.
    Looking forward to hearing a solution,
    Aoife

    How did the photos get onto the iPad ? If they were synced from a computer then they won't appear in Image Capture (or iPhoto or Aperture, and on a PC windows camera wizard and windows explorer) - there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which you can use to copy those back via your wifi network (but photos are 'optimised' when synced to the iPad, so if you do copy them back they may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer).
    If you have photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/website then the iPad should appear in those applications so that you can then copy those photos off the iPad.

  • My "iPod Classic (60GB) Click Wheel" is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows up in 'my computer'.

    My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'.  The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times.  I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties.  I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great

  • IPod not being recognised in iTunes

    Hi all
    I sold my iPod on eBay and, as far as I could tell, it was working perfectly when it was sent off. The buyer has sent it back to me claiming it wasn't being recognised in her iTunes and to my surprise it's now not being recognised in mine. I plug in the iPod and it charges through my Mac but does not become recognised in iTunes at all. Does anyone have any ideas as I am going to have to refund the buyer AND the iPod seems caput so it would be great if I could get it working one way or the other. Thanks so much in advance.

    I tried what you suggested but it didn't seem to work for me. When i started the error check nothing happened, the bow for checking errors closed immideiatly after i clicked start. Did you do anythig else before checking the drive for errors, like put it in disk mode?

  • Iphone 3gs not being recognised by Itunes 10.1.2 on my Imac

    Hi all,
    This seems to be a common problem but all the posts that say they have succeeded don't work on mine. My problem started when my iphone was not being recognised. I did everything re-installed itunes, restarted computer etc and I finally went into DFU mode. Itunes recognised then but said it needed to be restored. At wits end i did this, now i have no phone as itunes wiped everything but since it wont recognise it again i cant get the phone past the connect to itunes/emergency call screen. I also tried deleting the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" but i cant seem to find it where they said it would be. If i can find this file apparently this will help me but it simply not there.
    Really hope that someone might have an answer that will work for me because i really need my cell phone back
    P.S I have the latest itunes and Mac OS X 10.6.6

    In this article about your device not being recognized in OSX, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 ,it is mentioned, that
    In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    So give it a try.
