My iPad appears under portable devices in W7 64bit, so iTunes cannot see it

My iPad appears under portable devices in device manager in Windows 7 64bit, so iTunes cannot see it. I have tried unistalling the device, but it always reappears as a portable device. My ipod shuffle also appears as a portable device, but it is seen in iTunes, whereas the ipad does not.

Assuming you've already tried the simple stuff like rebooting the iPad and the computer you'll probably want to check some of these items...

Or it might just be easier to remove and reinstall iTunes. Please remove all 6 component from iTunes before downloading iTunes again.

Podcasts no longer appear under ipod device in I tunes library. I can access podcasts on my ipod but I CANNOT access podcasts on I tunes library. I have disconnected and reconnected. I have restored my ipod. I have checked for updates. What else?

'Podcasts' under Ipod device disappeared in Itunes library. I can't manage my podcasts on ipod via I tunes library. I can access the podcasts on my ipod (5th generation), itself. I can access and manage music. I can add more podcasts to ipod. The podcast icon reappears with only the newly added podcasts. When I disconnect ipod and reconnect ipod, 'podcasts' no longer appears under the device. So I am unable to manage my podcasts on I tunes library which means I can't delete podcasts from I tunes library. I can only add podcasts. I have disconnected and reconnected ipod. I have checked for updates. I have restored the ipod to it's original settings. My next step will be to install and reinstall I tunes. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

To be clear, the podcast icon disappeared under Ipod device in Itunes. I can access and manage the podcasts in the itunes library. I can't manage podcasts on my ipod via itunes (which means I can't delete podcasts from my ipod). I can access podcasts on my ipod, itself.

TS1538 I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and myApple Iphone appears in Portable Devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it.

I do not have the Driver folder in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support like it says I should and my Apple Iphone appears in Portable Devices only, not in Universal devices. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. My Iphone is still not recognized by Itunes when I plug it in. I can see my photos in the internal storage folder on my Windows 7 system though. So I know my PC sees the device. The Iphoneis an Iphone 4 with IOS 6 installed. It was working fine until I had to reinstall my Windows system. Now Itunes does not see it. I've uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled it (64bit) to no avail. Where is the Driver folder article TS1538 talks about?

Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

I want to sync my ipad to my mac comp. It says to select ipad from under the device list. I do not get a device list however on my screen

I want to sync my ipad with my mac computer so I can import the data as a backup. It says to select ipad from under the device coliumn, but I do not have that column showing. What should I do?

The Devices Headings is on the left gray sidebar of iTunes when iTunes is running on the computer and the iPad is connected. I am using a very old version of iTunes but the sidebar is still the sidebar.
Here is a screenshot of the iTunes sidebar. I am at work and can't connect my iPad here but the Devices heading will be on the left side - under where it shows the Library, Store, Shared, etc.
If you don't see the iPad listed there - it is not being recognized in iTunes. Maybe you should look through this for help if the device is not recognized.

I am looking to turn my iPad into a portable device to store and view multiple files transferred from my pc. I have tried some apps but it does not support multiple sub folder transfers. Any suggestions please?

I use GoodReader on my iPad and use the GoodReaderUSB tool. the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure.

I select my Ipad under devices in itunes, go to apps that support file sharing, select kindle but none of the kindle book files on my ipad appear under kindle documents

I want to copy books I've purchased for Nook and for Kindle from my Ipad to my laptop. In Itunes I select the Ipad under devices, select apps at the top of the screen and scroll to file sharing apps. When I select the kindle app or the nook app nothing appears under the documents window.

You can't do it via File Sharing, those two stores don't support the copying of your Kindle/Nook purchases off their apps via file sharing.
If you want your Kindle book on your laptop then you could download the Kindle app from Amazon and download the books directly in it : Kindle apps.
I don't think that Nook have a PC/Mac app

I see you have good coverage in Australia for Internet ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Australia
I'll assume you don't have Internet Service at home, so ... first you get that. Then you hook up a WiFi router to the service in your home. Here's Apple's router. I believe you have your own Apple Store in Australia; this is the U.S. store.

IPod Nano 2nd Gen - Music Subfolder no longer appears under iPod Device

When in iTunes I manually manage my music and I used to get a subfolder under iPod in Devices which I could click on and it would show me the songs I had put on my iPod and I could add and delete at will. Since getting latest update of iTunes, the subfolder doesn't show up and I only get the Summary page on which I have clicked Manage Music Manually, etc.
I Restored Settings thinking that would help but it hasn't. I seem to be able to add music, but I haven't listened yet, so I'm assuming it's working.
I've also disconnected the iPod and have even tried a different USB port.
Any ideas what I can do to get my Music subfolder back? Please!

Okay, thanks again. I figured it out. Something must have changed with the new iTunes. Instead of clicking Cancel when asked to AutoSync, I have to unclick the box and then hit Reply (or whatever my other option was).

I bought the Open C from eBay UK, when I open my gmail emails the device gets stuck refreshing. I cannot see the mail content

I bought the Open C from eBay UK. I can see the list of my emails on the device, however when I click on the email it gets stuck refreshing and I can't see mail content.
I have reset the phone and also run a software update via the relevant app on the device.
Please can you assist? Thanks.

I've had a similar problem with the ZTE Open running v1.1. I wasn't using Gmail but my own IMAP provider. It turned out that my desktop email client (Thunderbird for Mac OSX) was creating a strange trash folder where it shouldn't have been. Once I deleted that folder, the phone worked again.
Do you use a desktop email client? Make sure you check its IMAP settings, in particular how you map your trash folder on the desktop. Make sure you store your deleted messages on the server.
That's what solved the problem for me, and I stopped using Thunderbird.

How can I make my iPod touch 2G appear under "devices with removable storage"?

My ipod always appears under "portable devices" under "my computer". I use Windows 7. I want to know why it does not appear under "devices with removable storage". I manually manage its contents. Please give any suggestions that may help. Thanks!

- Because via My Coputer yu can only access the the photos (DCIM folder) taken by or saved to the iPod. The iPod touch (and iPad and iPhone) do not have a disk mode like other iPods)
- You need a third-party program like SharePod to access music w/o iTunes

My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

Thanks Rudegar.
Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

Problems with renaming device under Windows 7's "Portable Devices"

I recently purchased an iPod touch 4g 32gb unit from ebay which still has about 3 months of warranty left on it. The touch came with the previous 4.3.3 iOS installed on it and also jailbroken, so I upgraded to 5.0.1. After installing the cord and setting up my new iPod through iTunes, I noticed under My Computer through Windows 7, under Portable Devices that the ipod Touch came up labeled as "AEIPOD TOUCH 4 4.3.3.3 32gb".
I tried going into the properties and renaming it, and couldn't, but through iTunes, I was able to successfully rename it. I would appreciate any help/feedback as to what I can do fix it, or if I might have to send it to Apple.
Thanks!

HT1719 why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear on my devices on itunes?

Why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear under my devices on itunes when i plug it in? i have windows 7. I got the ipod today from a friend with their music. i deleted their music and added my own to the folder it was in. but when i unplugged it i still had their music and none of mine.

You need to restore the Shuffle in iTunes first. Then sync all of your music stored in iTunes over to it. Or is that what you did?
