My iPad does not appear as a device in iTunes

I have sinced my iPad but it does not appear in iTunes as a device whatever I try. Are there any tricks?

I had this a while ago and it may work for you. Hook up the iPad with the cable and in the Summary page under options see what is checked
For wiFi to work you need the sync with this iPad over WiFi selected.
I am assuming you have already done this. I deselected the Wifi, Sync'd and the reapplied it and syn'd. The disconnected the USB cable and the iPad remained connected

My ipad does not appear as a device in itunes when connected (1st time trying to sync). all other apple devices are fine and I have the latest itunes version.

I have a new ipad2 for xmas . I have tried to sync the device to itunes and it is not being seen. I have the latest version of itunes, updated last night, and have several other devices that are seen fine (iphone/ipods).
When I connect the usb direct to the mac iphoto starts but then that is it - itunes will not recognise the device......
I have gone thourgh the suggested support help on the apple website and came to the last point - review community ... so here I am!

What you provided is not everything mentioned.
Your Mac is running 10.5.8 or later and iTunes 10?
You are connecting the iPad direct to a USB port on your Mac and you have tried every port?
You have reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service?
If your Mac is running Snow Leopard - 10.6, have you checked this link?

IPad does not appear as a device in iTines, nor on My Computer

My iPad previously linked ok to iTunes and listed as a device on My Computer. Now suddenly it does not, and in iTunes when I select Apple store I get an error message "unknown error" or "cannot connect to Apple server". Yet I am connected to internet and my iPad connects to internet, too. Help.

IPad does not show up in devices under itunes, cannot synch

The initial time I plug my mom's iPad into her laptop her iTunes does not auto launch like it should, so if I launch it, it doesn't show me devices so I cannot mannually start to synch. Help!

Two things: if Preferences have been changed in iTunes to not sync automatically upon connecting the iPad then iTunes will/should not launch. You have to do it manually. I suspect the setting is not the problem so see here-
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

My ipad does not appear in itunes

my ipad does not appear in itunes but the computer recognises it

I had the same problem. found a dozen different solutions in various forums. None worked.
One of the official responses TS1538 came very close and sounded promising. I found that the usb device did not appear in device manager. The ipad appeared only in the imaging devices.
The instructions were to right click on the entry in images and update the driver, pointing at
program files\common files\apple\drivers\usbaapl.inf.
This told me that my device was not found in the driver. date on the files was 2009. date on the files in another pc which worked was 2011.
I had already re-installed itunes, which I thought should install the necessary driver.
Decided to fool it. copied the files in the above folder and then deleted them. Then re-installed itunes again.
Fixed.
So why doesnt itunes installation over-ride the old files?
Why doesnt apple tell us about this fix.
Why did I buy and apple?

HT1535 The option for "On this IPad" does not appear?

Despite having a manual set up of content checked, the option for "On this IPad" does not appear? Why is this?

Hi pmbrady,
The "On this [device]" tab will only show up if you are in the non-sidebar view of iTunes. In short, if you have the sidebar on the left hand side, you will want to use the disclosure triangle (left of your device name) to view what is on the device.

You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

[solved] SD card in my card reader does not appear as a device

Greetings.
I have an Asus EEE 1015PEM netbook, which has a built-in card reader.
I found some old SD cards that I am trying to get files from. When I insert them into the SD card reader in my netbook, the SD card does not appear as a device, and thus, I cannot mount it.

Come to think of it, I am not sure I ever tried my SD card reader since I installed Arch on the machine (the machine was running Ubuntu before that, and there, inserting an SD card would trigger some automount magic).
You guys know what I can do to access the files on my SD cards?
Cheers,
Willard.

When i sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device? what is wrong?

when I sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device. What went wrong?

Hello,
The problem is that you just don't selected the music that you want to import.
You can do this by opening iTunes, search your ipod in the superior bar, select it, then will appear a screen showing the information of your ipod, you can check how many songs are in your ipod, if there says nothing so theres the problem. In the superior bar, select Music, then click on the box "Sync Music", now select the songs you want right down. And press "Sync" That should solve the problem.
Cheers

AppleTV does not show up in Devices in iTunes on streaming MacBook Pro

My setup:
- AppleTV connected wirelessly to the wireless router (Apple Extreme N Base Station).
- Windows PC wired to the router and set up as machine that is sync'd to the ATV.
- MacBook Pro connected wirelessly to the router and set up as a streaming machine.
- All machines run iTunes 7.3.
The AppleTV appears as a device on the Windows PC. No problem there.
However, the ATV does not appear in the Devices list on the MacBook Pro 99% of the time and so I am not able to select it and change the photo albums I want to link. It occasionally appears. But I have not found a pattern to why it appears and disappears. Even when it does not appear in the Devices list, streaming from the MacBook Pro works just fine. So even as I am streaming, say, a podcast from my MacBook Pro, the ATV never appears as a listed Device.
I can make the ATV temporarily appear by unlinking the MBP from the ATV and relinking it. During the link process, the ATV appears in the Device list. But it disappears as soon as the code is entered in the MBP.
Confounding problem.

how would
it be if your mac continued to show every network
device, firewire/usb drive that it had ever connected
to whether they were still connected or not.
Yes, it would be annoying if EVERY device that my Mac had ever connected to did show up all the time even after they were disconnected.
However, there are some classes of devices that you do want your Mac to remember and show as available if they are detected active on a network. An example would a Bluetooth device that you have deliberately paired and designated in the Favourites list. If it was subsequently decided that this device should no longer appear, then removing it from the Favourites list does that.
In my opinion, the AppleTV should fall in the same category. Since pairing is required and subsequent dissociation is possible by removing it from the iTunes list of allowed AppleTV units, then it should appear on iTunes' list of Devices as long as it is detected on the network. If the ATV is unpowered or if the PC moves onto a different network, that that ATV should not appear in the Devices list. There is an advantage for the logic to be implemented this way for the reason I have mentioned in an earlier post (i.e. being able to change the list of photo albums designated as available for streaming without having to go to the ATV, select the source PC, then going back to the PC to change the list).
But again, just my opinion. It's always good to discuss these things so that others can see different opinions on an issue.
