Updated to iTunes 10 and now iPad will not sync on PC Windows XP Pro

I updated to iTunes 10 earlier today and now my iPad does not register at all in iTunes Devices pane when I try to sync it. The iPhone 4 syncs perfectly. Do I just wait for Apple to sort out the problem with iTunes 10 or what do I do please.
THANK YOU.

I had the same problem after upgrading to iTunes 10, but I'm running Windows 7. The iPad was being detected by Windows but not by iTunes. My iPod would sync with iTunes OK. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes alone did not fix it. I fixed it by performing the following steps:
1. Uninstalled the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver from the Universal Serial Bus controllers section in Windows Device Manager (this will only be displayed if the iPad is connected to the PC). I also selected the option to 'delete the driver software for this device' - this may be different in XP, I cannot remember.
2. Uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour and Quicktime (basically, ANYTHING Apple related) using Windows Add/Remove Programs. Your iTunes library files and media SHOULD be unaffected by uninstalling but I made a backup of mine first JUST IN CASE. They are usually located in your 'My Music\iTunes' folder.
3. Made sure 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple' and 'C:\Program Files\iTunes' had been deleted by the uninstall routines. I also deleted the Apple related folders in my local profile. On XP these will be in 'C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data' (you may have to enable to option to view hidden files and folders). The folders I deleted were called 'Apple' and 'Apple Computer'. Renaming them will have the same effect if you are nervous about deleting them.
4. Rebooted the PC (why not, eh?).
5. Downloaded the iTunes installation file (iTunesSetup.exe) from the Apple website. Installed it.
6. Launched iTunes, all my music, podcast subscriptions etc were preserved so I did not have to use my backup from Step 2. Connected my iPad. The device driver was installed by Windows, the iPad appeared in iTunes and I was able to sync OK.
I can't say for sure which of the steps above was key to fixing the problem, but hopefully if you do the same it will resolve your problem. Good luck!

  • Updated to iTunes 11 now it will not open or uninstall- Windows 8 64bit

    Updated to iTunes 11 using the "check for updates" tab on iTunes. I installed and realized it will not open. Turns out it installed the 32bit version (I did not have any option to choose between 32bit and 64bit). Nothing was going right so I attemped to unistall it using the controll panel and going to unistall programs. It in a way uninstalled, there is no iTunes folder on my hard drive or anything so I am guessing it did uninstall? Anyways, I attemted to download and install iTunes 11 (The actually 64bit) again but here is what happens: It will download everything but it will not open to install. Help?

  • I cant get my iphone to show up in my itunes...i downloaded the update last night and now it will not sync at all

    I cant get my iphone to show up in my itunes.  I downloaded the new update last night and I havent been able to sync it since

    See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
    If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Hello xtremejoe
    I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

  • HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
