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!

  • 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" shared printer on other Mac

    Hi There,
    This is my first time in here... after WEEKS of trying to figure this out, I thought I'd give you guys a shot.
    I have two older Macs (Putty G3 and an iBook) both running OS 9.2.2, I have an Epson Photo Stylus 1280 hooked up via USB to the G3. We've been sharing this printer for a few years now (over Cable modem with an Asanté FriendlyNet router).
    Now my question is... Why can't my new iMac "find" the printer? Is there a solution, or am I doomed to buy a new printer (and find a place to put it)?

    Dave,
    Welcome to this forum, it is really helpful and the people on here are so knowledgeable. I had a similar problem and I'll tell you how I solved my problem and maybe it will help you. I too bought a new iMac 17" not long ago and had used my two printers (an Epson 740) and a LexmarkX3350 with my older iMac G3 and my Powerbook PC but I couldn't get it to work with the new iMac. I tried loading the disk that came with my printer to reload it on my computer and the disk wouldn't work as I guess it isn't intel compatible. So I had to go to the Lexmark site and download the driver for my model. Then I was able to locate the printer in my application folder and click on it and then activate it from there.
    Then whenever I use either printer I just go to File, then print and make sure I have the right printer model selected when the print dialogue box appears. The printer part will be right at the top and you can arrow to whichever one you are using and it all works fine.

  • Why don't I see the Info tab in iTunes, after connecting my iPhone to my Mac?

    How can i find the "Info" tab in iTunes when I connect my iPhone to my apple pro to sync?

    Great, but how do I sync my non-Apple email accounts?
    Punch them in manually?? It used to be so simple, tick a box = email accounts set up automatically

  • TS4036 Why can I only see my iPad and not my iPhone backup on my new device?

    I am switching my white iPhone 4 to a black iPhone 4.  I have backed up the wht iP4 to the cloud and my blk iP4 only see's my iPad and not the wht iP4.  What am I missing?

    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.

  • HT4796 Why can't I see my email and calendar records after transfer is complete?

    I used Migaration Assistant to transfer my MS Outlook email and calendar etc from a windows XP Pro laptop and expected to see the transferred content when I opened Mail and Calendar, but they are empty. Is there some action I need to take in my mac to make the content appear?

    Try looking at System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if Migration Assistant created a new user. If so, what you want is probably in that account.
    If you can log into that account, make the user library visible by holding down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Move the Mail Folder and Calendar folder to the Public Folder. Look for other files you want and put them in the Public Folder. Log into your normal account, retrieve the two folders from the Public Folder, and then put them in the account's user Library. Test.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Why can't I see the Final Cut Studio icon after installation?

    All the installation process went fine and it even displayed "Installation Successful!" And now I can't find it anywhere

    Go to www.digitalrebellion.com and get the fcp uninstaller and then reinstall. 
    Are you sure you've chosen the right options for the install if you're doing a custom install.
    Here's a user tip regarding installtions.  Making disk images of the installation dvd's can save an enormous amount of time.

  • Why can't I see the "Transfer App" button in iTunes Connect when I meet all requirements?

    My App is in the "Ready to Sale" state and I can't find any transfering option in the Manage Apps screen. Is this functionality disabled?

    If you think you're golden on the requirements, then the next step is to contact Apple directly.
    You may want to be prepared for them to point out, however, that you're not as golden as you hope

  • HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

    Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

    Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
    Hope someone else might have a solution.

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

  • HT204088 Why can't I see the purchase history from the ipad? I mean, I can buy apps and in game content directly from my iPad, but I have have to install iTunes on my PC to see the purchase history? What kind of deal is that?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You don't need to install iTunes for the purchase history. You can see it in your iPad (iTunes > Purchased), but you need to install it if you want the order numbers

  • Why can't we see the details of a picture or video taken with our iphone or Ipad? Detail like when it was taken the picture or when the movie was filmed. I think that this very very important for our memories.

    Yes, I know that, but it was easier to see it on the Iphone self, like the other company phones. The name of the picture taken should be the date when it was taken.
