PC not recognising iPad as a camera

When I connect my iPhone 4 to my PC it recognises it under Devices as a camera,yet when I connect my original iPad to my PC it does not recognise the iPad.
Is there a way of making the PC recognise the iPad it as a camera under devices?

The camera option should appear if you've got photos that were taken with the iPad or saved from emails/websites - it won't appear if you've only got synced photos on it. As you don't say what version of windows that you've got you can follow the instructions here for Windows XP http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1857, and Vista and 7 here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500

  • I-tunes does not recognise ipad to restore after failed update to ios 5

    i-tunes does not recognise ipad to restore after failed update to ios 5. Connected i-pad to update to new ios 5. Back-upp went fine but update failed and now i-tunes does not recognise the devise and i-pad will not work so I have no known way to restore.

    Copied from that article.....
    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.
    Also copied from the article.....
    5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

  • I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your reply.  I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years.  The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import.  Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera.  However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing.  So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years.  I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

  • 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.

    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

  • ITunes not recognising iPad on Windows 7

    I am fed up with windows asking me what to do when I attach a device. So this morning I went into control panel and changed things to "take no action". But when I attached my iPad afterwards it was not showing up in iTunes. So I tried all the usual... Restarting the laptop and trying different USB ports etc. but still iTunes does not recognise my iPad.
    So I looked in control panel to see if I could find an answer and found I had mistakenly set iPad and iPhone to "take no action". But when I try to change it there's no itunes option!. It is all "open folder to view files" and "import pictures" type options. Clearly my pc thinks my iPad is a camera.
    And clearly I've buggered things up. What can I do to make iTunes recognise the iPad again?? And no synching by wifi is not an option as im currently nowhere near home and on 3G at the moment.

    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • 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.

  • 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 !!

  • 1.8Ghz G5 (late 2004) can not recognise my sony digital camera

    My PowerMac G5(Mac OS X 10.3.9) can not recognise sony digital camera,but my friend have same model G5 with no problem,what shell I do?

    Did you use the very same camera on either Mac or just the same model? When my Mac (also G5 1.8 Dual, though the earlier spring model) had problems recognizing my Sony, it was a question of setting the USB mode on the camera: E.G. my camera allow to set its USB mode to either Normal or PTP, the PTP setting caused problems at times, though its too long to tell, of which nature they were. May be woth a try

    Hey scimmia,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you are not getting iTunes to recognize the iOS device.  Follow these steps and test after each section.

  • 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
    Robin

    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.

  • OSX 10.5.8 not recognising iPads

    I have a MacBook running Osx 10.5.8. Since updating the iPads and iPhones to the newest version The MacBook won't recognise them. How can I fix this?
    thank-you in advance
    Leonie

    I am running Lion 10.7.4 and the same thing happened to me. I quit iTunes, rebooted the iPad and restarted the Mac. Then it worked. Give it a try.
    Reboot 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.
