Why Can't I see my iPad in iTunes?

I have downloaded the latest iTunes version and the latest IOS onto iPad and yet when i attach to my PC it doesn't open iTunes automatically and when i open iTunes I can't see my iPad. Instead Windows 8 (the worst software in the world!) opens my photo library. Why is this happening? Please help!

Why can't I see my Ipad on my Mac after connecting via USB?

I just bought the cable... I can see my Ipad in itunes, but can't see it in the finder to copy footage off of it?

I am trying to get a bunch of video footag4 someone shot off their Ipad onto my Mac for editing. I can see the Ipad in itunes, but cannot see the footage files themselves. I followed a Mac forum to open the Ipad in itunes, then click on File sharing. The only option is imovie- but here are no actual files to share inside tht app...
Yet- I can see the footage in imovie on the Ipad- I just don't really know how to use imovie- I am a Final Cut editor- and can't see the files themselves to move them!

Make sure your black phone is using the same or higher version of iOS as your white one, and that it is signed into the same iCloud account.

Why can I not see shared applications on iTunes on a Mac but can on Itunes under Windows

Hello
1. I have a Mac Laptop, a Windows 7 laptop and an IPAD Air. I have an application on the IPad that shares files.
2. On both the Windows and Mac machines, I have the latest versions of ITunes installed.
3. With Image and IPhoto, I can browse the Documents directory of the shared application on the IPAD.
4. On the Windows Machine, on ITunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can see the shared application and the shared Documents directory.
5. On my Mac Machine, on Itunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can NOT see the same shared application on the IPAD that I see on the Windows machine.
6. In the upper right corner of Itunes on the MAC it does show "1 App" but I see no way to click on the app under ITunes and to browse the shared directory on the IPad
Any thoughts on what I have to do to make the Shared App show up on the Mac that shows up on the Windows machine in ITunes?

Did you put your audiobooks on your computer?
They will only be where you put them. You need to copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

Why can't i see my artwork from iTunes on my iPhone 5?

Recently i'm having trouble seeing my iTunes artwork on my iPhone. I have the album cover to every album, but when i put the songs on my iPhone i don't see it. Is there something else that i have to do?

Since we have no way of knowing what all the instructions are that you are referring to .... first quit iTunes, restart your Touch, restart your PC and start all over again.
Then ...
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
Also assuming that you are signed into the same Apple ID on the Touch that you are using in iTunes - the ID that you used to purchase the music - if it is purchased music that will not sync.

Why can't I see my ipod in itunes?

I can;t see my ipod musique list in itunes, what do I nee to do to find it?

This happened to me just the other day. It's possible that this might fix it...
I suggest you try what worked for me:
Turn on the Prevent iPods from Syncing automatically option, then close iTunes.
When you open iTunes again, turn this option back off and close iTunes once again.
The next time you open iTunes, try connecting the iPod. Does it work now?
Use CTRL and the , (comma) buttons, to open the Device Preferences shown here:

Why can't I see a movie in itunes although it shows as playing? The screen is black.

I played a movie last night and I have two others to watch. I selected one and the movie launched. The timer indicates it is showing. However, the screen is black. I thought there might be someting wrong with this movie, so I selected the other movie and I have the same issue. Now both movies are going to expire and I can't watch either one. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Hey there Dhart52215,
It sounds like you were not able to watch a rental because the video was black, and had no audio. That can be pretty frustrating, and I would start by reporting a problem with the rentals to the iTunes Store support directly with this article:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
I would also recommend using the following article to help troubleshoot the video issue on the computer, to help prevent this from happening to you again:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Why can't I see my content in itunes when I'm not online?

With my ipad connected to my imac, and NOT being online, the imac's itunes shows the ipads itunes content, but attermpting to call it up on the ipad itself, I get the "cannot connect to the istore" prompt with no content visible.

Sometimes a simple restart or reset of the iPad will help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.
If that doesn't work, check out this support article.

Why can't I see my devices in iTunes?

The support page says if I click File, I will see a menu item "Devices." That item does not appear.

This fix has been tested in Windows 8.1 using iTunes 11.3.0.54
Plug in your Apple Device via the USB port on your computer
Open Device Manager
Navigate to Portable Devices in the list of devices listed
Right click on your Apple Device
Select Update Driver Software
Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software
In this Window navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
Once you have selected the Drivers folder ensure “Include Subfolders” is selected and click “Next”
This should then solve your problem, the device should then reconnect to Windows and the Device should appear in iTunes.

Why can't I connect my iPad to iTunes?

When I run the iTunes connectivity diagnostic test, it says no USB ports are found. I checked and my pc has the proper usb ports. Also this only a recent problem. I used to be able to connect my ipad with no problem until suddenly I couldn't. I've tried uninstalling then re-installing. I've tried restarting my pc and ipad. I have no idea what else to try.
Btw I have Windows 8 and everything is up-to-date.

I am asked for my apple password which I reset today and it is working on my ipod. The message that comes up is "cannot connect to itunes store"

Cannot see my iPad in iTunes on my computer

I've updated recently to OS7 on my iPad2 and updated to 11.1 on iTunes on my PC. Now I can no longer see my iPad on iTunes on my PC. I followed all instructions in the support section but still nothing shows. I never had a problem until this last update.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks, I tried this but it didn't work. It turned out I had to follow the instructions for
If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed
and update the driver this way from portable devices since there was nothing in the USB list.
Everything is back to normal.
Cheers,
C
