My Ipad 3rd Gen isn't being recognized by my computer...

My Ipad 3rd Gen isn't being recognized by my computer / (doesn't show up in itunes)...
I have tried to use it with the following:
Windows 8 64
Windows 7 64
Windows 7 32
Mac OS (newest)
All tried with Itunes 10.7.
I bought it about 3 weeks ago and activated it through WiFi.
It has never been recognized on any computer I have tired it with.
I also tried to connect in DFU mode(didnt work)
Do I have a defective Ipad?

make sure you have itunes installed on that computer. itunes comes with the essential ios drivers which are needed in order for your computer to recognize your iphone.

Ipod nano 3rd gen. is not being recognized by my computer or itunes, it comes up as a USB drive, the cable is fine

My ipod nano is not being recognized in iTunes or in Windows, it only shows up as a USB and when i plug it in it says 'do not disconnect'
This happened after I put the ipod nano in Philips Ipod speakers.
I've reset the ipod mulitple times, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, restarted my computer, and I can't restore the ipod because it doesnt register on my computer and it doesn't show up in itunes, but for some reason it still says dont disconnect.
What should I do??

just hold down the “-” button and the power button. when it says “ok to disconnect” hold down the powerbutton and the “-” button again.

New IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't being recognized by my computer or itunes.

I got a new IPod Touch yesterday and I am finally getting the time to sit down and set everything up and when I plugged it in it makes the charging sound but itunes is not finding it and neither is my computer. I've been messing with it for hours now and at one point my computer thought the IPod was a camera. I've tried updating itunes to the newest version, uninstaling/reinstaling the drivers, even tried updating the IPod to iOS 6 thinking that might help but still nothing. What am I missing?

All of the sudden my iPad (1st generation) isn't being recognized by

All of the sudden my iPad isn't being recognized by any of my PC's. The PC's are working fine (they are still recognizing our iPhones) and I'm pretty sure that the problem is with my iPad. Please help!!!

Having the same issue.
iPad 1 updated to 5.0.1 was working fine. Suddenly will not recognize when it has a USB cable plugged into it. Almost as though the cable isn't even plugged in. I left it plugged in all day and it's charge increased by about only 5%
Tried different comptuers and the external power supply - same results. The iPad doesn't even recognize the cable is plugged in.. no lightning bolt symbol or anything.

Iphone 5 in boot loop and isn't being recognized by my computer.

Hey, I'm having a serious problem with my Iphone 5 right now. A few days ago my Iphone began having problems. I clicked on an app then i received multi colored vertical lines across my screen then i experienced the boot loop. Every time i turn on my Iphone it is stuck in the boot loop with the apple logo fading out every 3-5 seconds then it will flash with a white horizontal line across the top quickly and the boot loop will restart itself. I tried connecting my Iphone to my computer but it isn't being recognized. Also i tried various other computers but yet none of them recognized the phone. Also, previously i had some minor problems with the battery it would sometimes die with about 15-20 percent battery still left maybe this may contribute to this continuous boot loop i am not sure. Can anyone please help me i just got this phone not too long ago. Thank you in advanced

also i have tried a hard restore but i still experience the flashing apple logo after i attempt it

My refurbished iPod touch 4g isn't being recognized on my computer

I just bought a refurbished iPod touch 4th Generation from the Apple store and it shipped yesterday. When I tried syncing it with iTunes this morning, it was not even being recognized by my PC. My computer recognized it as first and said everything was installed, but when I went to sync it to iTunes it said it was unable to sync so I unplugged it and now not even the computer is recognizing it. The iPod just says it's charging when plugged in and computer does not say i have anything plugged in.

I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Make sure the computer has iTunes version 10.7 installed.

IPad 1st gen no longer being recognized by iTunes on my mac, neither being charged, help please i need to sync it

My iPad is being used by a younger sibling, who usually plugs in and out the charger, the iPad is chargable, but it wont connect to my mac, not charge either.

I'm thinking the cable has been damaged. Get a new one. They're not expensive. Many stores, like WalMart, have them.
Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Problem with 3rd Gen Ipod Nano being recognized by Itunes

I have a third generation Ipod Nano that was only used once. It takes a full charge and appears to be working fine. Problem is when I plug it into a computer it is not recognized by Itunes. The computer recognizes it but not Itunes. I have tried it on several computers and same situation. I have tried other Ipods and they are recognized by Itunes. I have reset it and reloaded Itunes with no change. Any suggestions?

If none of the solutions found in the PDF user manual and from DIY websites like iFixit and YouTube's How To tutorials work then it's time to take your iPod Nano to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

My iPod isn't being recognized by the computer.

I've had my classic since this past christmas (it's the new 120g), and last week, everything got wiped off of my iPod. I'm not sure what happened exactly. I restored it on my computer, and re-synced it. Ever since then, my iPod has been showing the big red X at least once a day. Sometimes I can restart it a couple of times, and it will be fine. Today it happened, and no matter how many times I reset it, it still shows the X. I have it plugged into my computer, but the computer doesn't recognize it. It doesn't show up on My Computer or iTunes or anything. I have no idea how to restore it or what do now. I've tried using the "contact the experts" thing online, but when I plug in the serial number for a classic (8M8398FV2C5), it tells me that the number is invalid. That's the number on the back of my iPod and when I plug that number in the search bar, it comes up with a classic.
Please help me, my iPod is my baby.

HT1414 My iPad is locked and not being recognized by my computer. How can I unlock it?

My kids changed the iPad lock code and it is now locked. I am connecting the iPad to my computer, but it is not recognizing it.
Is there another way to unlock it?

If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

My new iPod isn't being recognized by my computer

Here's my issue: the iPod is brand spankin' new; it was a graduation gift from my uncle, and since we finally got an operating system that's compatible with the software, I installed it all in yesterday. It posed no problems, so I downloaded music onto it and let it charge until this morning. When I took it off, it gave me the 'folder with exclamation point' icon, so I went to Apple's support site and it told me to download updater 2006-06-28. I was hesitant, so I tried everything else before I finally downloaded it.
Now, iTunes doesn't recognize it, the computer doesn't recognize it, and not even the freakin' updater recognizes it. Not to mention, of course, that all my music and settings have been completely erased from it and continue to be erased everytime I take it off in order to try something new.
Is there anything I can possibly do?

My ipod isn't being recognized by my computer or itunes no matter what i do

I have tried my ipod on two different computer , install the new software and everything i could possibly do but it does have the folder with the icon but other then that it is frozen.

Got the same problem... ipod mini not recognised by the pc and the icon folder is displayed. Refused to reset or restore either from the pc via itunes or directly from the menu & set buttons on the ipod.
any luck in resolving it?

My iphone 4 died, it won't turn on, it won't charge, it isn't being recognized by my computer. Holding the home lock buttons isn't working. I can't restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. All I see is a red battery sign. Help?

My iPhone 4 has gone completely dead and is unresponsive. Can anyone help?

I would never recommend tinyumbrella. I've had to respond to hundreds of posts from people who used it and found the it trashed the network database on their computer.
If you can't recover using approved methods rather than hacking your phone (which is what tinyumbrella does) then you've probably got a hardware problem.
So what should you do? First, connect it to a charger for 15 minutes. If it doesn't recognize the charger try a different one and a different cable. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold up to 1 minute. If nothing happens your phone really is broken, either a broken connector or a bad battery.
If you DO get some response see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Of course, if you have already tried tinyumbrella this won't work until you repair the damage to your network database on your computer. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
