Peter-
Did it ever work?  What version of iTunes are you using?  (The latest is 10.3.1 as of today.)
You might have a defective cable.  I suggest you try carefully disconnecting and reconnecting it to the iPad, to be sure it is making good contact.  If you have the iPad 2, there is a slight compatibility problem with the old dock due to the shape of the iPad 2's bottom.

  • 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?

  • Since update 11.1.4.62, my iphone does not appear in iTunes at all.  How can I fix that?

    Hi,
    I updated iTunes this morning and now my iphone, ipad do not appear in iTunes. 
    I tried unplugging the usb cable and but it still does not work.  I tried powering off my iphone but it does not connect.
    my husband has the same problem with his ipad with his pc.  He did the same update this morning.
    Anybody has an idea?

    I had the same problem and tried some of the fixes describing Apple Mobile Devise settings etc. it didn't work.
    What did work was uninstall iTunes and othe various Apple apps and then reinstall with the latest version of iTunes from Apple. All my playlist, music, setting remained intact and it works like a charm.

    I installed Windows 8 and now my ipad does not show in itunes...any thoughts?

    Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.

    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:

    itunes 11.1.3.8 shows a speaker icon in front of the seclection but it is not playing. the progress bar does not move. there are speakers attached to the system and all other programs do profuce an audio output.

    Go to the Edit -> Preferences-> Playback
    In The bottom section of the page click the drop down menu by Play Audio Using and select Windows Audio Session or something other than "Direct sound" or whatever it displays. Click Okay. This worked for me! I hope it works for you too!

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

    My brand new iPad 2 does not appear in iTunes. I am OS 10.6, iTunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and iPad and switched usb sockets. Don't know if its related, but I can no longer see my Sony Handycam in iMovies too.

    What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Ipad 1 not appearing in itunes. I am running 10.6.8 and have itunes 10.3.1

    I have been given a first generation ipad and it will not appear in itunes. I have 10.6.8 installed with itunes 10.3.1. I connected the cable to the USB port in the back of the computer and when i connect to the ipad there is the audible sound when a connection is made like a "chime" but nothing appears in itunes. I looked at some troubleshooting sites and removed itunes and reinstalled it again but the problem still exists. I can download apps but cant get them to the ipad because "it's not there". Please help. Three frustrated kids and one swearing grown up.

    I followed the instructions carefully and it still wouldn't work. Apparently my device was in the "rare circumstances" etc etc. I followed another link on the page which took me to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540 where I followed the instructions there and voila! problem resolved. No longer swearing and kids will be happy in the morning. Many thanks. Yipppeeeeeee!!!!!!!
