My PC cannot see my ipad or iPhone

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to iOS 7 on both my iPad and iPhone 4.  My phone is incredibly slow, so I was intending to restore settings via iTunes, but even though it was plugged in it was saying "attach phone via USB to restore settings', and now it is not seeing my iPhone via wireless either.  I noticed tonight that the same is also happening with my iPad - so unable to sync, backup, or restore from backup.
  I thought it was because my phone is an old model, but my iPad was new in July last year.
I did recently upgrade to windows 8.1 so not sure if that is the issue.
Can anyone help?
Cheers

That sorted the problem, thanks!
I don't suppose you also know how I can restore an older version of iOS on my phone? I restored it from iTunes, but only had the option to install iOS 7.
Cheers

  • Itunes cannot see whats inside my iphone

    itunes on windows (12.0.1.26)  cannot see whats inside my iphone so when i tried to check again all of the items on my iphone and clicked sync, it displays an error that it has reached over capacity but i really havent. what to do?

    Howdy Kat,
    If I understand correclty you are trying to sync content to your phone but for some reason iTunes is telling you that you are over capacity. I recommend the information and troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
    If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You might see this alert in iTunes: "[iPhone/iPad/iPod touch] cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional space required)."
    If you see this alert, try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again.
    Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.

    All the very best,

  • HT203167 I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

    Are you using the USB cable? Have you updated to the latest version of iTunes? Have you tried booting your iPad into Recovery Mode and restoring it from the latest backup?

  • I just upgraded itunes. And now I cannot see my iPads or iPod in the left margin of itunes? But I can still see them in my Windows Explorer?

    Hey there MattSK123,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Friends cannot see response from the iphone 5

    When I send group messages from my iphone, my friends cannot see them.  I can see my responses and theirs on my iPad/computer,  but they are unable to see my response from the phone.  Am I missing something. 

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • How can i access my iPad from my macbook if the display is out?  i would like to  back up all my information but i cannot "allow" access on the iPad if i cannot see the iPad display.  Suggestions?

    Just found out that my display is hosed on my iPad 2.  Connecting it to my macbook prompts me to "allow' access on the iPad 2.  I cannot do so because this information is on the iPad 2 display.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I can hear sound but cannot see anything on my iphone

    I was deleting apps so I had enough room to run the new update, and the screen just shut off. I can hear when I get phone calls, texts, etc. but cannot see anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Lorie,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If folks are reporting that they can't hear you when on calls, I would try the steps in this article:

  • You really cannot print from iPad or iPhone apps!

    You cannot really print from iPad or iPhone apps!  And that is not good!  Of course you can print from web and email on the iPad!  But why not from the apps. Why not. This is nonsense!

    Yes I really can. And that is good.
    Read: Printing from an iPad or iPhone
    If you want to print what appears on an iPad screen but the app does not have a "share" icon, take a screenshot and print it.
    To print directly from an iPad you need an AirPrint - enabled printer on the same wireless network as the iPad. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are AirPrint-enabled.
    If you do not have an AirPrint printer, a number of workarounds exist that enable the use of any printer you normally use, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades. Search for the following products:
    handyPrint (Mac only, donation-supported)
    Printopia (Mac only, $19.95 with free trial)
    These are utilities you install on the Mac you normally use for printing, enabling it to act as an AirPrint print server. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. The iPad needs nothing else, no iOS apps need to be installed and no configuration is necessary. If your computer can print, so can the iPad, using one of these utilities on your Mac.
    Equivalent utilities may exist for PCs but I have no experience with them - I suggest https://www.collobos.com
    You can also buy this standalone hardware print server, bypassing the need for a computer altogether:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

  • Cannot see my iPad in iTunes on my computer

    I've updated recently to OS7 on my iPad2 and updated to 11.1 on iTunes on my PC. Now I can no longer see my iPad on iTunes on my PC. I followed all instructions in the support section but still nothing shows. I never had a problem until this last update.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks, I tried this but it didn't work. It turned out I had to follow the instructions for
    If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed
    and update the driver this way from portable devices since there was nothing in the USB list.
    Everything is back to normal.
    Cheers,

  • Cannot see my photos in iPhone after upgrading OS

    I upgraded 11/20/13 to the latest iPhone OS and now having problems with the photos in my iPhone. I can see the thumbnails just fine, but then I touch one of the photos in thumbnails and the phone just shows a blank white screen. I cannot view the photo. BUT when I see only the blank, I touch EDIT and the photo shows up. I have to rotate it and SAVE and then the photo can be seen. But then I have to rotate it 3 more times to get it back to its original orientation and SAVE to have the photo now visible.  This is now the second time something bizzare like this has happened in the last 2 upgrades of iOS. Frustrating.

    No idea of why. The ONLY solution I know when you select a photo in thumbnails and the photo then shows up white is to do the following. Select EDIT then the photo "magically" appears. Then rotate it and SAVE it. But--here's where it gets clunky--you must rotate less than a full rotation and save it and then go to EDIT again and then do a final photo rotation to get the photo back to its regular orientation. But once you've done that for EVERY such photo, the photos show up as expected. Sorry that there's no more simple solution that I know of.

  • TS3274 I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes to my laptop, but now can't see my iPad and iPhone in iTunes.  any ideas?

    Can anyone give me advice about the question above.  I have downloaded ios7, have downloded latest iTunes and now can't see devices in iTunes.  Using Windows 8 (horrible), which just jumps me into questions about pictures

    Are you saying that when you connect your iPad to your computer an application starts on your computer to download photos? This is how you copy photos from your Camera Roll on your iPad to your computer. You may have the photo capture application to run automatically when a camera is connected to your computer. Your iPad is recognized as a camera and this is normal behavior depending on the settings on your computer.
    You can either change the settings to not have the image capture application run automatically or you can just quit that application manually. You might want to copy the photos to your computer first so as to have a backup of the photos.
    If you quit the image capture application you can then run iTunes. I suggest, in iTunes that you use the View menu to View Sidebar. Your iPad will then appear in the left sidebar of iTunes. Select your iPad in the left Sidebar of iTunes and then you will be ps enter with a row of tabs allowing various choices.
