My iPad is not recognised in iTunes despite all suggested troubleshooting. Any suggestions

Can anyone give me any suggestions as iPad will not show up on iTunes despite all suggested troubleshooting

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.

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPad mini not recognised by iTunes after updating to iTunes 11.1. All other devices are recognised...

    After upgrading to ios 7, adn iTunes 11, I had some problems with both airplay and having my ios devices not recognised by iTunes. After a few fixes (re-installing Apple Mobile Device support ) manually, all is now looking good, apart from my iPad mini.
    Windows recognises it when I plug it into any of the USB pports on my PC, however iTunes does not see it. The device is recognised by iTunes onother windows and Mac computers I have.
    Is it posible to isolate which driver is being used by the mini, and uinistall it? I guess that if Windows sees the device as a "new one", it will re-install the device driver, and probably fix this issue.

    Hey there BeakyGB,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Great troubleshooting done so far. I would next try this article named:

  • HT201412 None of the abot helps, and I can't even restore with iTunes, as my Ipad is not visible in iTunes at all.

    Hi.
    I am having trouble with my iPad 1. It doesn't switch on, can't restart it, can't reset it, and can't even restore it with iTunes, as it's just no visible with iTunes at all. And yes, I have charged the battery for several hours just before doing all of this. All I see on the screen is the iTunes logo and an arrow with the picture of the cable, which suggests to connect to iTunes.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks,
    Dimitri

  • My ipad is not recognised in itunes

    I am struggling to recognise my ipad in itunes. I have tried everything from updating, rebooting etc. Help please?

    Are you plugged directly into your computer's box? The iTunes doesn't seem to like hubs much anymore and prefers the device to be connected directly to a computer

  • New ipad will not sync with itunes, despite having sufficient capacity

    Trying to sync our brand new iPad 3 with our Mac's iTunes.  iTunes keeps giving me blurb:
    "The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items."
    HOWEVER, the rainbow capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes shows that we are attempting to sync 27.95 GB worth of stuff, leaving 17.6 GB of free space.
    That doesn't look "full" to me....!
    What now?

    I have the same problem!
    My PC crashed and I had to upgrade my motherboard. Music and photos are still intact as they were stored on a separte hard drive (but had to re-do some playlists!). The apps were affected so I had to download purchased apps again from iTunes, not much of a problem there.
    Now that I've tried syncing the iPad to my PC, I got the same error as Tiki's that "The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items."
    What to do????

  • My ipad is not recognised in itunes over wifi anymore..

    if i connect direct to pc everything is ok...just wont connect and sync over wifi...
    anyone can help?

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • IPad not recognised in iTunes and showing not charging from wall charger

    I have had my ipad a year and today it is not recognised in itunes, also when charging from a wall socket 10A ipad charger it shows Not Charging (however trickle charges). I have tried resetting (holding both buttons for 10 sec) with no benefit, i am reluctant to resset everything as if this does not work I have a dead iPad.
    No other items have changed and there does not appear to be any visable damage in the conector on the iPad, note an ipod conects in itunes, so it is not a Mac side issue. This feels like a software issue on the iPad.
    Any help appreciated if anyone else has had this issue.
    Thanks

    Update: Apple agreed to a replacement iPad even though I did not return faulty one to dealer till 2 weeks outside of warranty.  The replacement looks brand new.  Dealer told me Apple does not repair iPads as they are a sealed unit.  I am doubtful that is true.  Suspect they do 'refurbish' and use as replacements.  Am grateful to Apple for the new iPad.  Two thoughts as to why they agreed to it despite faulty one out of warranty: 1) Consumer Guarantee Act in New Zealand - which trumps manufacturers warranties and says among other things that goods sold must be of an 'acceptable quality' (and I did mutter to the dealer about the CG Act); 2) It stops owners blabbing on forums like this what component failed on their iPad... and hmmm maybe Apple recognises a problem with the lifespan of the dock connector/cable.

  • TS1538 I have just installed Windows 8.1 and now my ipad and iphone are not recognised in iTunes, can anyone help?

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first post so if I've made any mistakes please forgive me. I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Professional however, now my iPad and iPhone are not recognised in iTunes. I have checked Device Manager and the iPad is listed, I also asked it to update the driver but it informed me that I have the most up to date version. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Skydiver119,
    Many thanks for your prompt reply however, I found this post and it worked perfectly. I hope it helps other users.
    Plug your Ipad USB cable into USB port.
    Go to your Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, then click Device Manager.
    Click on Portable Devices, and you should see Apple Ipad shown (or whatever apple device your using).
    Right-click the Apple Device your using, and choose Update Driver Software..
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.
