iTunes on the iPad is the store. The iPod app is for playing music. Yeah, doesn't make any sense at all, since iTunes plays music on your computer. OK, it makes a little sense!
Have fun with your new iPad!

I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar. I want to sync. How do I do it?

I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes. The iPad does not show up in the sidebar. How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad". I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account. I am confused. I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

TS1424 I get "Your request could not be completed" as soon as I try to open iTunes in th iPad

I get "Your request could not be completed" as soon as I try to open iTunes in th iPad

ok i figure it out ...
i have 2 accounts, my USA account and MEXICAN account, i coulnd't access from my phone the USA itunes store ... so i did some steps that i read on others replies but it didn't work, so i log out my app store and then log in with my mexican account, then went to the itunes store app and it works totally fine with my mexican account, it show up everything so i had the opportunity to log out and close everything again, went to de apps store and log in with the usa account (the one that i use more) and then went to the itunes app and it works!! im so happy i did it heheheh ok, maybe im too excited but yeah ... i feel relief ... i was worry about that ... so hopefully this maybe useful for someone out there
(and hopefully someone could understand my horrible english )
1.- log out on app store (or either way Itunes ... the app that actually works as always)
2.- log in with your other account on app store (i have USA and MEXICAN..USA was not working so i log in the MEXICAN acc)
3.- go to itunes app and log out
4.- close everything
5.- log in on app store with the account that you are interested in ... (in my case USA)
6.- went back to itunes y voala!!

Why is the option "Open ITunes when this iPad is connected" dimmed?

It's an original iPad running the latest iOS. My host iMac is running MacOS 10.6.8.

I have the same issue but my Itunes opens up when I connect my Iphone. I do not want it to open up. I just want to charge my phone with the usb and only have itunes open when I want it to. How can I turn this off? It seems the box in the options is unchecked and greyed out so as to be unavailable anyways.

Ok so when I open iTunes on my iPad 2, everything seems fine until I want to buy a song. I tap buy and enter my password, it loads for a little while then a message pops up: " cannot connect to ITunes store" HELP

I typed everything in the question spot so please help!! I beg

On the iPad - go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap on your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with your changed/new ID.

TS1702 my ipad wont let me open iTunes!?

When I go to open itunes on the ipad the message says i might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be itunes. what do I do now!?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe

Device: iPad 2. Problem: since iOS 7.0.2 upgrade I can't open iTunes Store. I've done hard reset to no avail. Everything else works fine! What's the safe fix?

Is anyone having trouble opening ITunes Store on IPad 2 (or other apple devices) since the latest upgrade? Mine worked for about five minutes after upgrade, and then it would not open up any longer giving me the message: "CANNOT CONNECT TO STORE"I, but I can connect to the Apps store. I synced my devices. I have latest soft wear updates on my PC and IPad. Everything worked fine before upgrade. I did a hard reset. My wifi connection was checked and rechecked. I had enough storage at the time of the upgrade. I'm not computer savvy, so please speak computer for dummies language should you be so kind to respond. Thank you in advance.

Hello LDinaz,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store on your iPad 2. For the issue you are experiencing, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPad 2:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
The last step states to sign in with another account, but for the situation you described, I recommend just signing in with your same Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend following the iOS steps in the section titled "Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)" in the following article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

Ipad does not open iTunes automatically

I have a new iPad 3. Connecting to MBP running Lion. All latest software.
On connecting the iPad it would open iPhoto automatically rather than iTunes. I sorted that out following advice on changing preferences (in iTunes & Iphoto) found here & now it does not open iPhoto automatically. However despite having 'Open iTunes when this iPad is connected' checked in Itunes/devices/preferences iTunes still doesn't open automatically when I connect the iPad to the laptop with a cable.
If I then manually open iTunes, the iPad is recognised & syching begins automatically.
How do I get iTunes to open automatically when I connect my iPad?
Thanks
Ian

This is a common problem. Using a different USB port may resolve the issue.

Open iTunes option greyed out - why?

Hello - I am wondering why, when connecting my ipad to my mac, it opens up in iPhoto, and why the open iTunes option is greyed out on the summary page. Any ways to change this? Thanks!

You can do this while the iPad is connected to the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac and from the menu at the top go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if the box at the bottom - prevent iPods, iPhones .... from syncing automatically is checked. If it is checked - uncheck it. Then go to the Summary Tab and you should be able to check - Open iTunes when this iPad is connected.
I think this may be something that you can try as well. Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click on Accounts. Open your user account - you will need the administrator password - go to Login Items and make sure that iTunes Helper is checked.
For the iPhoto issue - launch iPhoto and from the menu - iPhotos>Preferences>General>Connecting Camera Opens no application.

Open iTunes when iPhone/Pad connected not working

iTunes recently quit auto opening when I connect my iPhone or iPad. I'm not sure exactly when it started happening, but I'm guessing it was after a recent iTunes or other software update.
The Prevent ipad etc from syncing box under iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> is UNchecked.
and the Open iTunes when this iPad/Phone is Connected box in the device summery section is checked.
I do have iTunes helper in my login items.
I've searched help and troubleshooting and can't find anything to help.
Any help here?

I'm having the same issue. Just started recently. I don't see any suggestions for how to fix it. Do you?

Open iTunes?

When I connect my iPhone 4 to my Mac, iTunes automatically opens and comes to the front (though I have it set so that syncing does not begin automatically). I like this setup. The option "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" does not have a checkmark in it, and it is grayed out.
Now for my iPad 2. iTunes does not come to the front when I connect the iPad, though I wish it did. The option "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" is similarly not checked and is also grayed out.
Can anyone tell me how to get iTunes to come to the front when I connect my iPad, as it does for the iPhone? Thanks!

If you're streaming music, yes, you're using data, either WiFi or 3G. If not connected to WiFi, you're using your 3G data.

HT1689 iTunes search on iPad and iPhone is not working.

When I open iTunes on my iPad and iPhone the search feature doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to resolve that?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - 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 works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
