Why aren't all my devices connecting wirelessly to iTunes?

My MacBook is running OS 10.7.5, and my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 are running the latest IOS update. Both are set to sync wirelessly to my MacBook, but my iPad suddenly stopped showing up after I plugged it into the computer (I did not realize that I could not upgrade to iOS 6.1 without connecting it.) Once I disconnected it, it stopped appearing under Devices in iTunes.
This is the first of many complaints I have about iTunes 11. I am not even certain that iTunes 11 is the culprit. But I would be very grateful if someone could get my iPad to show up in Devices again. BTW, I have done a restart on everything, without effect.
Thanks for any help you can provide with this Windows-like, frustrating situation.

Would you let us have more details of your problem?

  • Why aren't all of the apps in my itunes syncing to my iphone?

    I have several apps that are saved in iTunes, purchased on either my ipad or macbook, that i would like to sync to my new iphone.  Some apps show up when I plug in my iphone to my computer and click on the app section of my iphone, but many do not.  I also have iCloud between my ipad and iphone and the apps don't transfeer that way either??  I feel like I am missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out... help please.  thanks!

    I get that ipad specific apps wouldn't transfer, but I'm talking games like angry birds and words with friends, stuff that I would have to repurchase to get on my iphone at this point even though they're in my itunes. 
    I went to the app store on my iphone and looked where you said but they weren't there either. 
    Can I really not put games I've purchsed on more than one device with the same itunes acct??  that seems odd...

  • Why aren't all of my playlists showing up on my other devices

    I turned on my ITunes Match, and some of my playlists are showing up on the other PC and some playlists are not.  Why aren't all of the playlists showing up?

  • All my devices connect to a single base station, instead of the one closest to it.

    Hello,
    I have an Airport-based wifi network and it works great. The only problem is that all my devices connect to the main base station, instead of the one closest to them. This has created a problem because my house is large enough that I need the extra access points to extend my network. So when I go to another part of my house, away from the main base station, the connection gets slow. This is also a problem for my Apple TV. It is closer to my Airport Time Capsule, but still tries to get its signal from the main AirPort Extreme, making screen mirroring slow when playing a video. Right now I have 1 Airport Time Capsule, 2 Airport Extremes, and 1 Airport Express.

    My Airport Time Capsule is extending from my Airport Express.
    This is not possible.
    The way apple extend works is a hub and spokes type of system. You cannot double extend. It is possible however to do a complex system with the express as a wireless bridge and ethernet connect that to the the Time Capsule. If you do such things.. slowness is a guaranteed part of the package.
    Even double hop wireless will slow things down dramatically.. and for streaming video by airplay mirror is to be avoided. You need to use more ethernet or some hard wired alternative like EOP (homeplug) adapters.
    The symptoms you described there are kind of the problem. This is especially a problem for the Apple TV. It makes screen mirroring very slow. I will try some of the diagnostic programs and see what I can find. Also, what difference would what channel they're on make?
    I don't understand why the Apple TV is roaming.. surely you have it fixed in one place and plugged into a TV. The problem is not the ATV it is the other end device that you are streaming from.. if you are moving that around the house then that is wrong way to do things.
    For screen mirror which is highly data intensive.. and often has issues with speed even up close.. you need both devices running 5ghz wireless in the same room with each other.. and you should setup wireless so that no extend can happen in this scenario.. it will simply not work over extended wireless. It barely will work over wireless at all. In fact you should look at either plugging in the ATV or plug in the device you are mirroring by ethernet.
    Channels matter because they interfere with each other if too close.. or the neighbour uses it. Or you have a cordless phone or an AV sender or security front door TV system or a baby monitor or a zillion other things which all use the free 2.4ghz band.

  • Why aren't all of my recent purchases showing up on my "purchased" tab on iphone 4S?

    Why aren't all of my recent purchases showing up on my "purchased" tab on iphone 4S? I downloaded an album and I can't seem to get songs 2 and 4 although they are on my computer. I could probably connect my iphone to sync, but I'm wondering why they aren't transferring via iCloud.
    Thanks!

  • This morning Find My Phone alert went off on all my devices connected to my Apple ID at the same time, is this a bug or should I be worried that my id is hacked? I didn't have Find My Phone app installed on many of these devices. Please advice. Thanks

  • Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email? particularly jpegs?

    Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email on my iPad2? particularly jpegs?
    Usually i just hold my finger down and am able to save all the photos attached in an email and now only certain photos are actually being saved. And in some instances the actual image is not there but instead just the word "jpeg"
    Why? and or how do I fix this....
    I loved being able to do the one step hold and save all from emails :-( Now its hold, save all and then pray that they actually make it in my photo album
    HElp)))))))))

    When you first enable photo stream on your Mac it only downloads photos from the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud.  If the missing photos are older photos, that's probably the reason.

  • Why aren't all my songs in my Itunes Library, showing as in Cloud?  I have Match on

    Why aren't all my songs in my Itunes Library, showing as in Cloud?  I have Match on

    Hi,
    Can you explain what you have done whilst matching your library. I have explained in previous posts what you should expect to see.
    The tracks with the download icon are in the cloud but if they have the download icon, this would suggest that the originals are no longer on your computer. Where are the original files?
    Your original post was regarding tracks not in the cloud. If you create a smart playlist with any of the following criteria - iCloud status not = matched, not = uploaded and not= purchased, you will establish tracks not in the cloud. What do you see when you have done this?

  • I have all my devices connected to iCloud.  I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer.  How do I delete contact numbers from my phone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

    I have all my devices connected to iCloud.  I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer.  How do I delete contact numbers from my iphone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

    Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
    If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal").

  • Why won't Apple Mobile Device Support install with itunes setup??

    Why won't Apple Mobile Device Support install with itunes setup?? I keep trying to reinstall, and installs everything but Apple Mobile Device Support. How come. will someone please help me?? I updated windows, and thoroughly removed everything before i reinstalled itunes. I don't know why it's Apple Mobile Device Support isn't going on there. HELP! Is there anyway i can just download and install Apple Mobile Device Support by itself???!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if a component such as Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.

  • My ipad2 has lost wifi connectivity at adistance while all other devices connect to new wifi.

    After getting new wifi network, my ipad2 loses connectivity unless it is right beside the router. All other devices have good wireless connectivity.

    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 droping 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

  • Why aren't all albums listed under albums in my phone's Music app (home sharing)

    I'm using home sharing to listen to music on my iPhone 4S.  I can access the shared library no problem, but when I go to the Album list, not all albums are there.  Everything that I've recently ripped is there but only 9 out of ~40 albums that I imported to the library (vs ripping) are listed.  If I want to access that music, I can search under Artist. 
    I checked out the Info on albums that are listed vs those that aren't and I can't see a difference - they both have Artist & Album listed under the Info & Sorting tabs. 
    The main iTunes install that is doing the sharing is on a Windows 7 laptop; all the devices accessing the home share are either iOS or OS X.

    Search pointed me here.
    I have the same issue with an iPad3.
    My iPad3, fully up to date will only show 8 albums from a home share and frequently misses all or some of the album art work.
    Music served by latest iTunes on 10.8.2. Other devices like iPhones and older iPads list all the albums and album artwork without issue.
    Did the log out and back in  of home sharing step last night. Fixed it once and then no new albums were showing (converted a few more cds) and this morning I'm back to 8 albums according to iPad3.
    iPhone 4 ... it is all there, instantly, never needed to log out ordoanything ...
    Quite puzzling. All devices are up to date. Presumably the app would be the same for all IOS devices apart from layout.
    It is strange also how it picks 8. It is not like they were the first or last ones added. Or alphabetically first or last by artist or album name. It spans dozens of albums.
