While updating to IOS5.0.1, the itunes did not recognize the IPAD and stopped working

I was updating my IPAD, after backing the IPAD content, the iTune wrote a message "Preparing IPAD for update" and stuck for a while and I got
a message on my computer USB device not recognized and stuck. I tried many time on different computer with different genuine Apple cables
but failed. And I got this picture above. Is there a solution, and I read couple of similar complaints?

I did not get any reply but I am working on the problem, so this may help, so read this first:
Go to Device Manager and you have a listing of all your hardware components
Plug in your iPhone. Now you will see 2 listings that say something like "Apple Recovery" Mode in YELLOW, right-click, then click "uninstall", you need to do this to both, they should disappear now.
Next, you will expand the "Universal Serial Bus Adapters" at the bottom, which will give you a long listing, and look for the USB related devices. Look for "USB Composite Device" in this listing.
This is the tricky part because everybody is going to have different hardware from different manufacturers and the listing is going to be called something different but if you can figure out which are your USB ports then you are in business!
You will see 2 "USB Composite Device" choose the first one and right-click the "USB Composite Device" and click "Update Driver" Choose " Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next on the next screen choose "Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install" and click Next and you will see 2 drivers listed and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) "and install. If you don't see 2 drivers listed then CANCEL and choose the second "USB Composite Device" and follow the above instructions and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) " to install. It should work now perfectly.
Let me know if it works for you. Thanks!;)
But I found the iboot driver,you get it like that:
Select the USB Composite device and update the driver manually, use the "Have Disk" Button and browse to the \Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers, and select the iboot version
It worked and IPAD is connected
I am still working on it wish me luck

Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

Multiple Problems: iTunes does not recognize, no music, and odd click

I went to update my iPod, and after I updated it, I went to go listen to it, and it said I had no music, no videos, no photos, nothing! But if I look at the summary of the iPod, it says there is still stuff on it, however it is now orange instead of blue, before it was blue, because of all the music.
It is also making an odd clicking noise now.
Also, iTunes does not recognize my iPod. I have attempted the 5 Rs, but I cannot restore, because my iTunes does not recognize my iPod, and I attempted the steps suggested if iTunes does not recognize the iPod, and still no luck.
PUH PUH PUH PLEEEASE HELP!!

i think im having the same problem, and its bull. i cant find any answers, just this 5 R stuff that definitely solves nothing. First i would plug in my ipod classic into my computer and a message would pop up saying that something has malfunctioned and i need to hook up my device to a 2.0 usb port, even though thats what it was plugged in to, so i reinstalled the drivers for the usb ports. that stoppped happening and now when i plug it in nothing happens, it turns on my ipod but itunes doesnt see it and neither does my computer! HELP!!!

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

TS1538 Itunes will not recognize my ipad 1 anymore. Did everything it told me to check and still will not recognize it.

my itunes will not recognize my ipad anymore. Did everything it told me too. What can I do now.

Have you tried here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If so...
Try a Restart of your Computer and this Reset for the iPad...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

ITunes will not recognize my iPad or iPhone.

iTunes will not recognize my iPad or my iPhone. However, it will recognize several older iPods. I am working in Windows 8. Help. I have tried everything I could find and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
I really think that my PC is not recognizing these correctly. When I plug in my iPad it opens directly as an external storage device. This was working properly a week ago. What happened?

Everytime I try i get an error message that states that itunes has been installed incorrectly.
What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

Hey Kirby17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,
Mario

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

Itunes does not recognize my Ipad after software update. says it is in recovery mode, Itunes does not recognize my Ipad after software update.

After an ipad software update, it does not recognize my Ipad in Itunes. Gives error 14. what to do?

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

ITunes does not recognize my ipad, but my computer does as a camera. I NEED TO FIX THIS TO UPGRADE.

How can I get itunes to recognize my ipad? I've gone through all the troubleshooting I could find at itunes and apple. I'm getting really frustrated and really want to update my pad...

iTunes would not recognize my iPad2 *after* I updated to iOS 5, which kept me from syncing all of the content that the update failed to transfer. I read this suggestion somewhere and it worked for me:
1. Hold down the home button and the sleep/wake (power) button at the same time for 10 seconds. Ignore the red power-off slider if it appears.
2. Release the sleep/wake (power) button but continue to hold the home button down for 15 seconds longer.
3. The iPad will go black.
4. With iTunes open, connect the iPad to your computer with USB cable.
5. The Apple log should appear on your iPad.
6. iTunes may take a few seconds to recognize the iPad, but it should do so eventually.
7. You may see the beachball before iTunes recognizes the iPad, but don't give up and don't force quit unless it goes on for several minutes.
This may not work for you, but it's worth a try.

Windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad, windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad

Help! After resetting my ipad, Windows 7 or Itunes does not recognize it. I have read and followed all assistance or how to's that I came across on line but nothing works.

Check in this order-
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Picked up older powermac G4 from a garage sale. Can not do any updates because owner, that has now moved did not wipe it clean and I need a password to do anything. Is there a way to restore to factory default and make myself admin?

Recently purchased older powermac G4 at a garage sale. Unable to do anything because owner, that has now moved, did not wipe it clean and everything I try to do requires his password. Is there a way to restore to factory default, make myself admin and reset password? Hoping this purchase wasnt a complete waste of my time and money.

Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!
Not sure is this will work on a Mac running OS 9.
 Cheers, Tom
