TS2776 My new ipad is not showing as a device when i log into itunes why is this?

Just bought a new ipad when plugging into my laptop and opening itunes it is not showing as a device why is this?

You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

    I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
    When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
    Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
    How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • My ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

    my ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

    pvonk, you were right, something was amiss. It is just a shared calendar (me and my PA) and nothing I could do would seemingly connect the iCal and cloud accounts.
    Late last night I upgraded from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, as I thought that might resolve some settings or minor corruptions in the way my Mac Book was working.
    This morning I opened iCal, and once again it attempted to refresh the page. And a few seconds later my iCloud diary appeared on iCal.
    The moral of this issue is I think as follows.... when you check all the settings and follow all the advice, and something like this is still not working then it could be the software is slightly corrupt, so a re-install or applying an update (if there is one available) will help resolve issues.
    So spot on advice, something was amiss and is now resolved thanks

  • When I purchase apps they won't download anymore. The message says when I log into iTunes on my iPad it will be available for download but nothing is there to download.  What is my next step?

    I am not able to download apps on my iPad any longer.  I get a message that says when I log into iTunes I will be able to download the app but there is nothing to download.  This just started happening, I never had this problem before.

    If you are trying to download large apps over 3G on your iPad then there is 20 meg limit. In terms of iTunes on your computer try either Store > Check For Available Downloads or just (re-)download it from the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 and then sync it to your iPad.

  • New iPad is not on the authorised devices list

    Every thing seems to be working as it should. I can download from the store etc. but, my new iPad Air is not shown on the authorised devices list in my account.
    Is there something I need to do to get it recognised?
    Cheers.

    Same for me, Diamond White. Everything seems to work, but my new iPad Air isn't showing up in the list.
    Thanks for suggestions, King_Penguin. Alas, I tried all of those except iTunes Match (don't want or need) and still no joy getting the device to appear in the list. My main PC is there along with my iPad 3.
    Regards.

  • My ipad does not want to connect to my home wifi's, worthless. why has this just happened. is apple aware?

    In the last 2 days my Ipad does not want to connect to the internet via my home wifi's i have not done anything different so cany understand why this is happeniong. it just wont connect. Its a good job i have my 3g connection otherwise it would be worthless. i have tried resetting my wifi connections on my pad and unplugging the modem and resetting that. nothing is working. i have read several forums about this and seems to be an issue with a lot of ipads, i have read what you can do, however i dont think i should have to reset this, reset that, change this and change that when clearly its an apple issue.
    can someone provide me with any simple way of fixing this issue. or can apple spend a little bit of their millions of dollars of profit to fix this little proble.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
