When I connect my IPad to the computer my computer will not recognize the device as being plugged in
I'm trying to connect my IPad to both of my computers. Each time I plug it into the USB port I get nothing. The computer doesn't recognize that a device is plugged in. I have tried re-installing ITunes, as recommended, but I still can't get the computers to pick up my IPad. What is happening?

Updating to iOS 5.1.1 computer or iTunes will not recognize the device
Ok I have tried everything possible short of going to the apple store. My computer will not recognize my Ipod and it will not show in iTunes. The computer makes a noise when I plug the device in but nothing happens. The iPod is stuck on the dfu screen and will not sync at all.. Please help me out here... The iPod has never been jailbroken and I really don't feel like paying apple to fix something that the screwed up.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Things I have tried.
1.) USB Isolation (I have plugged the iPod into every port on my computer)
2.) Using Programs to kick it out of DFU.
3.) Reinstalling all Apple related software
4.) Stopping and restarting the mobile device driver
5.) Screaming at the top of my lungs!!!ok well I figured it out heres the link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538http://
I had to install the driver from the mobile device support folder to the parent usb composite device in device manager. -
Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?
Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:

There is a SD card size limit for Palm Devices.
What is the smallest size you have tried?

Please visit this linked thread. I have updated the link contained in the first post to the Palm Powerups site where there is a utility available which allows the use of larger capacity SDHC cards in Palm OS devices.

Iv been trying to sync new apps I downloaded on my ipad2 and it isnt syncing. when I connect my ipad to itunes on my PC and click on the APPS tab I can see the apps on the PC but they are greyed out
Do you have restrictions enabled on your iPad? Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it turned on. If so - see if you have installing apps turned off. If you do, turn restrictions off on your iPad and that may do it for you.

Will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB
My Dell will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB. Both the computer and phone gives a split second prompt that they are connected but then goes away immediately. After reconnecting it several times however it will finally recognize the mass storage. How can I get away from the hassle of multiple re-connections before it finally recognizes that connection?
That's some helpful information about your issue samrmusso! Some recommendations that I have for you is to try a different USB port on the computer to see if it isn't an issue with that specific USB port. Are you using the cable that came with the device (recommended) or a 3rd party cable (may not support data transfering properly)? You can also try restarting both the device and computer and retest. It's possible that there's a driver conflict on your Dell. Here's how to check for these types of conflicts: http://goo.gl/qH4m5
Keep us posted on any additional information/details about your issue.

I have changed my Apple ID when I got a new email address and confirmed it. However when I go to my iPad to buy an app my old Apple ID comes up and will not recognize the password. I tried going into the settings on my iPad and tapping on the old Apple ID to go in to change it but it will not recognize it and I cannot get in on the iPad to change it. How do I change this ID on my iPad for the iTunes store?
JaylsworthHow did you fix this??

I have a shuffle. When I plug it into Itunes, it tells me that it has not been ejected properly, and it will not recognize the Ipod. I have turned off the computer, and tried this with another shuffle with the exact same results. Any ideas?
Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.

I purchased a used Ipod touch 4th gen and my computer (Windows XP) recognizes it as a camera but Itunes will not recognize the ipod. Old ipod works and connects fine. Any suggestions?
Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck. However...

My music on iPhone disappeared when I synched my phone and computer. I uploaded all 32 CDs again to computer. It will not synch the music to iPhone. HELP
Some other things to verify:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings check "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library check all the songs you want to sync to your phone
Make sure there are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
Be sure to authorize your computer for all Apple IDs used for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
Then make sure you have checked Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your device. -
I changed my email password on Gmail last night. I then went into settings on my MAC to reflect the changes but it will not recognize it. I double checked to ensure I had the right password and it is. I can log into my email from safari with no issues. I have varified that all account information is correct but its still not working. I have also lost notes and contacts.

Mail passwords not holding...
If Terminal doesn't scare you, you might try this line in Terminal...
sudo mv /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase.old
Carefully type your admin password when asked & hit enter, as it won't be echoed, then restart the Mac.
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server.
So since WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.

IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110

The receiving email ports are:

Is it POP or IMAP? -

Try this first - Reset 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.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?
So yu tried all of this:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

How do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone ios 6.0.1 software. The computer will not recognize the phone. I reinstalled itunes, but it still does not work.
What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.
