What software is missing in itunes for showing my ipad?

My ipad2 will not show up in itunes so I can update it to 5OS. I have the latest itunes and have tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. I get an error message saying it can't be shown because it is missing software.

Apple has a very good article on how to uninstall, some manual steps req'd.
OS ?
What version you had?
running 64-bit?
Google is really helpful, it indexes forum and there have been 100s of threads on same subject since iOS 5.
There is also iPad forum.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes /ipad
Services - Apple Mobile Serives, bonjour, iPod Service are essential - you may need to restart those, also to go to Programs and instead of install, use the Repair button... and THEN launch iTunes and follow with attaching iPad
direct USB connection? hubs don't work
some AV software conflicts
If Device Manager and/or control panel "devices and printers" shows iPad with an alert or yellow icon or unknown usb device.... that is hard - next to impossible.
There is always backup data, Windows Easy Transfer, and clean install, if only on separate drive/partition just to get iOS 5. That is what I ended up doing.
Even a normal uninstall does not remove everything, and some things are in wrong location directories. Normally Apple leaves older versions around which never made sense and can interfere.
Not just iTunes but ALL Apple software needs to be uninstalled and removed.
Look for any Apple related and look for "Lockdown" and WOW64 if needed to find "Quicktime" remnants.

Can I see what software a serial number is for ?

I get an error when entering the serial number and I thought maybe I have chosen the wrong software to install (CS Design Standard, maybe I should try download other variants) ?
I do not know what software package the license is for so can you tell by the numbers what to install ?
Thanks,
Matt

I believe you maybe misunderstanding the program a bit. If you were to subscribe for a single app yes you would be close in the price per month ($19.99/month). However Adobe has discounts for subscribing to multiple apps per month.
The Photography is two programs Lightroom and Photoshop for $9.99/month
Complete is 29 programs for $49.99/month
https://creative.adobe.com/plans?promoid=KLXMK
Financially speaking $9.99/month would be the best deal if you were to try it. There is an annual commitment to consider as well. At the end of the year you have the option to cancel. All data that belongs to you stays on your computer so you will not loose any data by trying it for a year.
Because I am talking about the Adobe plans I am required to mention that in the future I may be receiving promotional gifts for helping out.
Good luck in your decision.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

What is the usage of itunes app in the IPAD?

I understand that itunes is required in the pc in order to transfer the files on IPAD/ Iphone. Thus, it is required in PC.
My question is why itunes app is required in the IPAD? What is the utility of itunes app in the ipad. It's utility in the PC is well understood, but I am not sure about it's utility in the IPAD - the itunes app in the IPAD.

iTunes on an iPad is just the iTunes store - it allows you to buy and download (and potentially redownload) music, films and TV programmes directly on an iPad without needing to use a computer to buy and sync the purchases. Similarly there is an App Store app on iOS devices for buying/downloading apps directly on the device.

What is a nice, expensive cover for the new Ipad? plz answer!!

what is a nice, expensive cover for the new Ipad? plz answer!!

I think you need to be a bit more specific about what your looking for.
I, for one, do not consider the most expensive iPad covers to be the nicest.
Solid gold anyone?

What is "Other" data in iTunes for my iPhone? And why is it over a GB?

In iTunes, my iPhone reports I have 1.6GB of "Other" data. It appeared immediately after I deleted and unsubscribed from a podcast (via iTunes) which had 24 large videos, and then sync'd with my iPhone (which was running out of space).
The podcasts appeared to be removed from my iPhone, however I still had no space and I saw that now I had this 1.6GB of other stuff.
I had a look around for answers on this and the default answer given is "restore your iPhone". So I did a backup and then did a restore to that backup. I don't have an earlier backup (except one that's from last year) and I really don't want to lose my app data and settings.
The restore didn't remove the 1.6GB of data.
So the question is, am I right in assuming the 1.6GB of other data is the left over podcasts that are now corrupt somehow? Or is it something else? i.e. What constitutes "other" data?
Second, any other ideas how to get rid of that other data?
Thank
Boz

Other that large is corrupt data. Normally, a restore from backup fixes things.
So, I discovered something new about iTunes today. The "Restore from backup" context menu option that appears when you click your iOS device in the Devices tree on the left of iTunes, is different from the "Restore" button that you get on the Summary tab for your device.
"Restore from backup" just does an restore from backup. Whereas the Restore button does a restore and then restore from backup. Make sense? Hmm.
This distinctly different functionality is not clear to the user, indeed the advice I was given above was to "Restore from backup", which in this instance is not what is needed to clear out the "Other" data.
In summary, to fix my problem I:
- performed a complete Backup (from iOS Device context menu)
- performed a Restore (clicked Restore button on Summary tab)
- after device is reset with latest iOS software, chose latest backup
My other data shrank to 0.2Gb, and as an added bonus another 1.4 GB of other space was freed up from Apps and Video, even though I can't find anything missing, so I suspect there was other non-"Other" data that was cleared out by this procedure.

How can I determine what software needs to be installed for images to display in a Safari browser?

Hi Everyone,
I had to rebaseline my MacBook Pro and I am starting from scratch. When I open certain webpages in Safari, the images I know should be displayed are not coming up as though I am missing some sort of COTS software. I do have Adobe Flash installed already but obviously that is not what I need or I would be seeing some images. I would appreciate any help/suggestions trying to figure out what I need to see images on certain webpages. My guess is the images are dynamic being flashed across the screen to make people want to buy their products. Thanks in advance!

Flash likley needs to be updated, web browsers will disable outdated plugins now.
Use this handy checker. and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have more than one web browser on the machine.

What Software/Techniques Needed to Write Slide Show to DVD?

Created my first slide show of +/- 1,200 slides in PSE 4.0 slideshow. No problem there. I want to burn this slideshow to a DVD that I can use in a laptop or other computer to view the slideshow on other computers with DVD drives, not necessarily to view on a TV. PSE 4.0 Help file says: Select "File"; then "Output Slide Show"; then "Burn to disc"; then "Select DVD Option." I'm ok to step "Burn to disc," but then there is no "Select DVD Option." Only options at this point are to select video format (NTSC or PAL), and Output Speed. "Burn VCD on drive (Phillips DVD+RW-D28)" is pre-printed in the dialog box and cannot be changed. Inserted a DVD+RW in drive, clicked "OK," and this disk was immediately ejected with a pop-up box reading "Incompatible media. Please insert a blank CD-R or a CD-RW disk to burn the VCD". (1,200 slides will not fit on VCD.) One user suggestion to reboot the computer to see a DVD option on screen did not help. My OS System is Windows XP. Two programs installed on my computer with the DVD burner, that I believe are DVD authoring programs: MyDVD v.3.5, and PowerDVD v.4.0. Must I have Photoshop Premiere Elements 2.0, or some additional software (recommendation?) to create a "portable" slideshow to view on other computers?
Would appreciate any help!

>Must I have Photoshop Premiere Elements 2.0, or some additional software (recommendation?) to create a "portable" slideshow to view on other computers?
Glad that you added the fact that you want to play the DVD on other computers - it does make a difference. As the prior post indicated, you really do need Premeire Elements or Nero Vision Express or Sonic MyDVD to make the DVD to view on a TV DVD player.
However, there is something else that might work if all people who will watch this slide show have a DVD player on their PC/laptop and play it using Windows Meida Player 10. So I suggest that you try it on your PC.
- In the slide show Editor of PSE 4, do your Output command to a WMV file on your hard drive.
- Then use whatever DVD software came with DVD burner to burn this WMV file to a DVD as a data file (NOT as a video DVD). Choose an output resolution that will be good for the monitors of the recipients.
- Next try to play this DVD on your system using Windows Media Player 10 (I don't know if earlier versions will play). I doubt that the software on your PC that plays commercial DVDs will play the WMV file; that is why I directed you to use Windows Media Player.
If you plan to distribute this to the general public, I think you will have problems with the recipients not having the necessary hardware or not understanding that they can't use their normal DVD player software. However if you are sending to a limited set of relatives and friends, it might work. If anyone has an Apple computer, I think there is software that will play a WMV file on Apple software, but it seems that many people may not have it.
In closing I will say
- be sure to save your slide show as a project so you can do multiple experiements (you may have already done this)
- it would be much more flexible as to how it is played if you did make a video DVD. However, you actually have a choice of using higher resolutions if you only save as a WMV file for play on a computer.

When connectipad to Imac the itunes bar show the ipad but the screen of itunes is blank w small lock. What can i do

Restore ipad=done, reinstall itunes done, reset ipad done... No resolved. Help!

The technician apparently doesn't believe, or at least isn't sure, that the crack would have appeared without some sort of impact to the iPad. I have no way of knowing whether or not the crack in your device appeared spontaneously nor not, but what I believe really doesn't matter; it's what Apple believes, and if they believe that some damage occurred to the iPad, due to a drop, being hit, having something dropped on it, whatever, If you can't convince them that the crack occured spontaneously, then the problem will not be covered under warranty and you have to pay for the replacement. You can try going to the Apple Store, explaining the situation, and hope that the technician agrees that the problem wasn't due to user damage, but no one here can guarantee that. You'll just have to try.
And yes, sometimes people do lie. I'm not saying that you did, but the Apple technician has I'm sure heard a number of lies from people in similar situations.
Regards.

What is the safari keyboard shortcut for "show/hide address bar"?

I have been unable to identify the second of the two keys for the "show/hide address bar" shortcut in Safari.
It shows the command key and then a verticle line which I can not find on my keyboard. I tried i, l, and
1, but its none of those.
That would be a handy shortcut for me, but it seems to use a key I don't have!

It's ShiftCommand\ in U.S. and Canadian English. If you look at the backslash key in those layouts, there's a vertical bar above it.

Airplay Icon Missing in iTunes for Mac

If I use my apple tv then try to use itunes on my mac, the blue airplay icon switches from blue to orange. If I select the blue dots next to each of my airplay devices each line item device disappears. Once they're all gone the orange icon disappears entirely and I'm left with a grey area in itunes where the airplay icon normally is. I must restart itunes to get it back. I've had this issue sporadically for a few updates of itunes but with the latest update it now seems to happen every time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
It may be unrelated but playing internet radio stations that I've saved to playlists also makes the airplay icon disappear. I now must go to the full internet radio drop down menu to select a station to be able to play it over airplay.
I'm using the latest itunes, OS X, and all devices are updated. I've reset SMC and PRAM.
Thanks.

My purchased music is missing. Itunes store shows I've "purchased" them but I can't find the songs anywhere.

I was forced to restore my phone, I purchased a ton of songs from my Iphone and they are now gone. What can I do to get these back? Is there anyway to re-download these without paying again?

I even tried to re-purchase the song and I can't. It just says purchased. I don't know what to do!! Annoying.

Why does itunes not show the ipad in devices?

Plug the iPad on itunes-windows and it does not show as device. cannot syncronize. The iPad was set up automatically and it is signed to a wifi

Here's a few things you can try:
- If you haven't tried disabling your anti virus software and turning off the Firewall, do that then restart your PC and the iPad.
- Try another cable to make sure it's that that
- Try connecting to another computer to verify that your computer is not the issue
- If none of these work then your iPad might need service. Take it to your nearest Apple Store
