PC does not recognise ipad

Got a new ipad2 for christmas, but PC only recognises it as a camera, and not in itunes. Any ideas?

Locate your iPad again as an external device where it is showing up as a camera.
Right click on it and go to Properties
There should be a place to set what will happen each time the device is connected, set it to do nothing. Disconnect/ reconnect again and see does iTunes now pick it up.

    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    Are you releasing the home button when you see the connect to iTunes screen? Does iTunes start on its own? If it doesn't - start iTunes yourself.

    5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

  • Itunes does not recognise ipad or iphone after window 8.1 patch May 2014

    Last week my laptop did a patch update to windows 8.1 and now  Itunes does not recognise  my ipad or iphone when i plug them into the USB ports.
    The devices do ask "to trust the computer" and Windows itself reconises the ipad and iphone and i can get to files on the apple products through windows but itunes doesnt see them and therefore doesnt sync  therefore i cant download music onto my phone etc.
    Ps i did uninstall itunes and reinstalled but this didnt work.  Although after reading about other people with similar  issues on past window updates I think  I may need to uninstall all apple software .
    I have an old Ipod 5G that works fine with Itunes.
    Anybody with similar issues and a plan to get this sorted ?...... as i need music on my phone for holiday !!

  • Itunes on windows does not recognise ipad

    iTunes on my windows xp pc does not always recognise my iPad.  Also, the icon in the task bar which indicates when a usb device is attached, does not appear.
    Neither of these problems appear when I attach my iPod.
    Any suggestions will be welcome

    The iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone do not appear as external drives which is why they do not show up in your Task Bar as externals the way an iPod will do if the option "Manually manage music…" has been checked. With that option selected the option "Enable disk use…" automatically becomes available which means that you can drag files to the unused portion of the drive. This is not the case with the devices mentioned above. As to the recognition of your iPad by iTunes you might want to check to see that the connection is firmly in place each time that you mount it onto the computer-- both the computer USB connection and the Apple Dock connector.

  • Itunes does not recognise ipad 2 with win7 64 bit but the computer recognises the ipad 2 as a camera. Works OK with win7 32 bit.

    I have tried to sync both ipod and ipad2 (new) with itunes running on win 7 64 bit. I have all latest versions installed on all machines.
    The ipod and ipad are just not recognised in itunes.
    I have an old win7 32 bit system on the same machine and everything works perfectly.
    Any ideas welcome.

    http://randomwindowstips.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/windows-7-itunes-9-software-is -not-installed/.
    This was the answer to all my problems, once i updated the drivers all good! My iPad kept insisting I didnt have the 64bit itunes (which i did) and when I checked the files I was supposed to have as per the link instructions, I had none of them. Disappointed I had to turn to some random files off a blog rather than having apple actually provide useful help. As long as they are making money though :Z

  • Facetime on my ipad does not recognise my apple id password after i have upgraded to iOS 6.1

    After upgrading my ipad to iOS 6.1, Facetime does not recognise my Apple ID password. The password works fine on the app store, I have even tried changing the password, but Facetime refuses to recognise the password, and therefore unable to activate. Has anyone else faced such an issue?

    The Connect to iTunes screen appears when something went wrong on your iPad or the update requires connecting your device to your computer running iTunes. Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Usually you will be guided through the process of getting your iPad running again. If not come back here for assistance.

  • HT5957 my ipad is dissabled as it does not recognise the pass word i have put in after software update

    My ipad is dissabled as it does not recognise the passcode i have put in after updating the software . How can i unlock ?

    I updated my iPhone 4S to IOS 7.0.2 then tried to use a complex password instead of 4 numbers.
    Even though the password was verified and correct, I am now locked out of my device.
    Unfortunately I do not have a recent backup of my device and, as far as I know, a restore from backup is the only solution to the problem.

  • Airplay does not recognise my Pioneer vsx-1122-k on my iPad, I can control my receiver via the pioneer app on my iPad so it is just airplay not a connetivity issue.  My Panasonic Stereo is recognised on Airplay.

    Since upgrading to the latest IOS, Airplay does not recognise my Pioneer vsx-1122-k on my iPad, I can control my receiver via the pioneer app on my iPad so it is just airplay not a connectivity issue.  My Panasonic Stereo is recognised on Airplay.

    Hi
    I don't know if you're still having this issue but there is a way round it as I'm having the same troubles.
    I've just spoken to Apple about it and found out:
    – If you have a Mac made before Mid-2011, it doesn't have a piece of hardware needed to take advantage of the 'Airplay mirroring'
    – So you can update to a later version 10.6.8+ but this won't help at all
    The way round it:
    – Download 'Airfoil' and install this
    – You can then play music from any defined source (Spotify, Quicktime etc) through your Airplay connected speakers
    So sadly, for those have a Mac from before Mid-2011 there's isn't an option that's as easy as Option-click on the sound icon to switch to Airplay speakers.
    Hope that helps, I can now get on with the rest of my day now after sorting this out.

  • Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
    Not sure what you mean here. 
    A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive.  You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
    I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
    I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
    Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

  • IPad won't send emails but iPhone does. iPad message says server does not recognise email address resetting account makes no difference what else can I try?,

    My iPad won't send emails despite identical settings with iPhone which does work. " server does not recognise email address" resetting account fails to solve issue. What else can I try?

    Have you checked ALL the settings including the port assignments? Easiest way to get those back to is to delete the email account from the iPad then redo the email account. Usually the ISP providing the email account will have instructions on their web site.
