Reset my old iPad, now not seen in iTunes devices

I'm giving my old original iPad to my Dad. Just wiped it using the iPad (settings/general/reset). I used the iPad to set up as a new device. Plugged it into my computer expecting to see it pop up on the iTunes devices section, but it hasn't appeared. However, the old back up for it, which was called OLD IPAD, has disappeared from iTunes devices.
I want to pick and chose via iTunes the stuff I want to put on for my Dad, how can I get iTunes to see it?

Look at this link.

  • Ipad backup not listed in itunes device backups but is on drive

    I am trying to help a friend who upgraded their iPad mini to iOS7 but lost all the notes.
    They did a backup but it now not listed in itunes device backups but I fount the folder on the hard drive with 8 other listed backups.
    How do I add the original backup into itunes and restore from it?
    Thanks anyone.
    Simon

    Hey Phantom42
    Move them into folders that is listed below and iTunes should recognize it. Look in the Back up your backup sections to see the location.

  • IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

    My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB.  No problem with my iPhone.  Anyone else with this problem?  Any solution?  (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
    Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it.  Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link.  So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
    Any ideas are appreciated.

  • .. My IPad 2 not seen in ITunes 10.5.2.11

    Hi experts - I need help
    After installation (upgrade) new Itunes ending appearing my IPad in Itunes for synchronize changes in my lybraries. Windows 7 see Ipad like portable device but
    ITunes not starting and after starting same Ipad "not see". I have for music Ipod and this device working whitout problems. Pleas help me with this problem.
    I do not know what to set - I think the if have correct drivers for USB - Windows reports - Device MTP USB - with drivers from Microsoft . By web support Apple
    all drivers for 64-bit systems ensure instalation new version I Tunes. I am very unfortunate. Advance Thank you very much for your answer. Josef - [email protected] - The user of Czech republik.  

    Folks,
    I had this problem with my PC (windows 7, 64-bit) and my iPad. After messing with it for a long time, I finally found the answer (bad USB driver). The following two step process should help resolve these kinds of problems more quickly.
    The first step is to verify that the iPad (or iPhone) is really connected to your computer. This can be (really) checked using a program called USBDeview. You can get this (very small) program from http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html or http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Don't worry, it's not Spyware or Malware.
    Just run the program and sort on the 'Connected' column. If your iPad or iPhone doesn't show up as Yes (under 'Connected') then your iDevice is not properly connected to your computer. Could be a cable problem. Could be an iDevice problem. Could be a USB hub problem. Note that your iDevice might be listed as what it is (iPad or iPhone) or it might be listed as 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the 'Description' column.
    Apple has a number of ideas to resolve this sort of basic connectivity issue, including switching USB ports, resetting your iDevice, rebooting your iDevice, rebooting your computer, etc. You will need to try them until your iDevice shows up in USBDeview as 'Yes' under Connected.
    If you iDevice shows up as 'Yes' under connected, it should also be visible in the Device Manager (found in the Windows 7 Control Panel under Hardware and Sound). You might find it under Portable Devices or it might be under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    The iDevice may or may not show up in the Windows Explorer. On some machines it does, on others it does not. Why is not clear.
    If the Idevice is properly known to Windows and iTunes can't see it, then any number of other things could be wrong. Apple has a list. See the very useful page over at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. Testing shows that the Apple Mobile Device service must be running. Check this using Task Manager (started by right clicking the taskbar). Note that the iPod service and the iphlpsvc service must also be running. These services have different names under the Processes table versus the Services tab of Task Manager.
    AppleMobileDeviceService.exe - Apple Mobile Device
    iPodService.exe                      - iPod Service
    ItunesHelper.exe                     - iphlpsvc
    Step 4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 checks if the Apple Mobile Device USB is installed. This is essential and a common source of problems. In at least some cases, Windows will install the 'MTP USB' driver. Indeed, Windows will reinstall this driver if you uninstall it. The MTP USB driver is essentially a Windows bug (possibly caused by Microsoft). You must replace the MTP USB driver with the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Step 4 explains how to do this. Note that you must use the 'Have Disk' approach. Otherwise, Windows will just reinstall the invalid MTP driver.
    The Apple doc indicates that you can find the correct driver at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. Perhaps this is correct on some systems. You may find the correct driver in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    iTunes could make this a lot easier by checking if the iDevice is known to Windows (what USBDevier does) and if the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is properly installed for the iDevice. Sadly it doesn't perform either check. Note that iTunes does if some of the related services (see above) are actually running.

  • IPad does not show in iTunes devices

    I wanted to install iOS 4.2 but cannot get my iPad recognized on iTunes.
    When I plugged the iPad into the MBP I get an OK tone as usual.
    It has been connected successfully in the past.
    I have restarted both my MacBook Pro and iTunes in different orders.
    My AppleTV shows up on devices every time.
    Harold

    I have tried everything and still iTunes will not recognize the iPad. From the other complaints it seems this is a big problem for many of us.
    My problems started when the iTunes v10 was introduced. I still use 9.2.1. I am waiting because I have an AppleTV1 and wanted to see how it effects others with the first version. I really like my older AppleTV and have many items loaded.

  • My ipad does not show in itunes devices again i keep having to reinstall itunes, my ipad does not show in itunes devices again i keep having to reinstall itunes

    I keep fixing this problem and it keeps returning. It happened to ipod touch also.  Batteries are charged.  10.2.2.14 itunes

    It may have something to do with a conflict with any antivirus or security software that you may be running. I don't know if you've read this, but here is Apple's support article for Windows. You say you keep fixing the problem - I assume you mean by reinstalling iTunes?

  • My first generation iPad will not synchronize with iTunes

    I haven't synchronized my iPad to iTunes for a while and when I plug it in to my iMac it just never connects.  Does anyone know of an issue may cause this or a solution?  My mac is running 10.8.5 with the latest version of iTunes and the iPad is running iOS 5.1.1.

    Hello wga,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the iPad is not seen in iTunes and will not sync.
    I recommend taking a look at this article to help troubleshoot this issue named:
    iPad not appearing in iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    Here is step one to get you started:
    Update iTunes
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. To check for available updates of iTunes on a Mac, go to iTunes > Check for Updates. On Windows, go to Help > Check for Updates.
    To install iTunes, you need one of the following operating systems on your computer:
    Mac: OS X version 10.6 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Note: If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 7, be sure to download the 64-bit version of iTunes.
    If your computer does not meet these requirements, you may need to upgrade your software or computer before installing iTunes.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Can i safely delete and reset my old iPad when my new iPad2 is synced?

    I got a new iPad 2 and its synced by icloud. Now I want to reset my old ipad and give it to my mom:)
    Can i safely choose "erase all content and settings" in "General" without everything being erased on my new ipad via icloud...?
    Please help.

    As long as they have different names that shouldn't be a problem.
    Back up the old one on your computer. Then with the new one, when you set it up, set it up from the backup you just made of the old one. Verify that your data is on the new one, then you can reset and rename the old one. (When you set that one up, presuming you use the same computer, select the option of setting it up as a new ipad, give it a new name and it should be different.)
    Personally? I'd back up to my computer first and verify the info before I backed up to the cloud. iCloud has eaten some peoples' data and lost it forever, so I'd be 'better safe than sorry'.
    Once you have them backed up and separated then you can use the cloud for your backup.

    I installed Windows 8 and now my ipad does not show in itunes...any thoughts?

    Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • I have both an iPod and Ipad 2. Latest I have sync. ipod. Now when I want to sync. iPad 2 in iTunes its only iPod mentioned in sync. window and it does not help to connect iPad. its not shown in iTunes. What to do next?

    I have both an iPod and iPad 2. Latest I have sync. iPod and now I want to sync iPad, but iPad is not shown in iTunes when connected. I have the latest iTunes version.

    If your computer starts image capture or some other camera software you should be able to quit that and then your iPad will show up in iTunes. Mine does this all the time.
    The preference on what to start up when a "camera" is connected is found in Image Capture. So start Image Capture. It's in the applications > Utility folder. Then look for preferences. In my version it's in the lower left corner. Select None or Nothing and quit the program. From then on your iPad should show correctly in iTunes. But you will most likely have to start your smear software manually when you do connect a camera to your computer.

  • IPad OS7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1.5.5

    I have switched to iOS7 on my iPad) and to 11.1.5.5 for iTunes on my PC (Windows 8).
    iTunes and iPad work properly, however when connected to the PC my iPad is not recognized by iTunes anymore. The iPad is recognized by Wndows, i can see it  as Apple iPad and not with the name of my Ipad. I have already reinstalled iTunes but still no connection.
    Thanks for suggestions.

    Solution found: i removed all apple applications (config pannel + uninstall pgms) and reinstalled the old version of itunes again. Now the iPad was identified by Windows correctly  as well as by iTunes. After that I reinstalled again iTunes 11.1.5.5 and everything is working well now.
