See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port

Help Pls! I got 2 iPhones & an iPod connected to my laptop and I wanted to access my iPod iTunes library but only the iTunes for 1 iPod keeps popping up and I don't want the files on it to sync to my iPod. How can I separate the 3 libraries and open them separately? Please help. I'm becoming very frustrated.

There is only one library. The one on your computer.
All of the devices sync to this one library.

Are you not seeing the icon of the app you just downloaded (it happens sometimes, and the quick fix is to reset your iPad)? Or are you running out of space on your iPad?

Try rebooting and then try it. If it continues contact iTunes store support because it may be an error inside their system.

With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What else should I be doing?

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

I turned on my computer but it doesn't show anything on the screen

I turn on my iMac, I hear it running, but the screen doesn't show anything and it also doesn't make the 2 beeps it usually makes when I press the power button. There is also slight ringing when it is off and still connected to a power source.
I've tried disconnecting the power cord for 30 seconds, plugging it back and waiting a few more seconds and turn it on.
Here are the things it has:
2.5GHz quad-core Intel core i5 processor
4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
500 GB 7200-rpm hard drive
AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics processor with 512 MB of GDDR5 memory
Thunderbolt port
I have not updated to Mavericks or Mountain Lion OS X
The Model No. Is A1311

On itunes on my computer I put all my songs into the right albums and cover art on the albums but it doesn't show up that way on my ipod

On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

HT1689 i have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delete i have connected to my laptop where the album has been deleted but when i sync the ipad with the itunes library the unwanted album is still there and i am unable to delete it. any suggestions

I have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delege i have connected the ipad to my laptop where the album has been deleted from the music library but when i sync the ipad to the music i want the unwanted album still appears on the ipad any advice welcome thanks

Hi rosehooker,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Make sure you are following these steps to delete the music from both your iPad and computer:
On the iPad:
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Tap the Music app.
Tap the Songs category.
Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
On your computer:
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Launch iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.

HT204081 I'm an author and my book recently received a five star review on iTunes and it shows up on my desktop but it doesn't show up on the Mobile version of my listing. How can I fix that?

The book is priced low enough to be an impulse buy but without the postive reviews being posted on the mobile versions, people may not be encouraged to buy it.

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

HT204053 Calendar shows up on i Cloud but it doesn't show any appointments. No problem with mail or Contacts. Anybody else having this problem?

I have spend days trying to figure out why my appointments don't show up on the iCloud calendar. iCal on my Mac is just fine, all appointments are visible and working. I can get contacts on iCloud and Mail on iCloud but calendar shows up with no appointments. Help !

I have this same problem. However, if I enter all my appointments on the iCloud calendar, they magically show up on my macbook air calendar.
I think the problem might be something to do with different logons. I have just bought this macbook air and when I transferred my old computer's data onto the new computer, time machine via migrantion assistant, it forced me to create a different user for the old data. The new identity automatically created by the new OS syncs to iCloud, but not the old data identity. Since I have all my data on the old identity, I want to keep using this. But how to get it to sync to iCloud? Can anyone help us? I can't see my mail on iCloud either - at least not from the old identity.
