Why doesn't my ipad show up on itunes so i can sync it?

I just installed Snow Leopard on my Macbook from early 2008, and I was told this should allow me to sync my devices. However, my iPad isn't showing up on iTunes. I tried both USB ports, which work well for everything else, and it hasn't helped. I also get the "Trust this computer" question on my ipad, but my mac doesn't recognize that there's anything hooked up.

Have you already run the software updates? What version of iTunes is running on the computer?
Try updating your Mac, follow this -> OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps

  • Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes? I'm on iTunes 11.1.2.31 using an iPad mini on the latest IOS 7.0.3. Could it be that I'm on a new computer and have some settings messed up? See enclosed screenshot. It can obviously detect the number of apps (44), but why aren't they listed in the apps section?

    Why doesn't my iPad pick up my camera videos when syncing with my PC?

    Some people have fixed this with a simple re-start of the phone, others needed to reset the Phone.

  • HT4859 why doesn't my ipad show my notes I made on my iphone?

    When I write notes on my iphone they do not show on my ipad.  Why?  Could be my settings?

    Open the Notes app on your phone and tap Accounts on the top left if you see it.  Then make sure you are creating your notes in the iCloud account and not in On My iPhone.  Also be sure Notes is set to On in Settings>iCloud and that both devices are signed into the same iCloud account.

  • Why doesn't my number show up in iTunes or on my iPhone 5S (everything is up to date and I don't know why this is happening)?

    I've had to change SIM cards with my provider to have working 3G/4G. It works but the odd thing is when I plug my iPhone and I'm on iTunes. I don't see my number showing up. I see n/a each time. I know I have a number but it's not showing up I can make calls and text but it doesn't show my number. In my contacts section I don't see my number either. Why is this?

    You have a hardware issue.  Try a different USB port.  If that doesn't work, try a different docking/charging cable.  If that fails, check the USB properties in Device manager.  The ports MUST be USB 2.0.
    Also, try using a different computer....

  • Why doesn't my device show up on itunes?

    When I sync my iphone and ipad to my macbook pro, I no longer get an itunes screen allowing me to set preferences. I just get the new itunes screen, which shows my devices syncing, but doesn't allow me to change anything on my devices. There's a bit of urgency because the calendars have disappeared from my ipad and I would like them back.
    TIA

    If you are using iTunes 11 and want the sidebar - go to the View Menu and select 'Show Sidebar' or keystroke - option-CMD-S.
    This will now show your Devices as before.

  • Why doesn't my image show up in itunes?

    The image in my podcast does not show up in the iTunes Music Store. Here's the file:
    http://www.zipzeta.com/podcasts/zipzeta_podcasts.xml
    The image I'm using is:
    http://www.zipzeta.com/images/zzvitunesimg.jpg
      Windows XP  

    Oops, I went back a second time in the Music Store
    search and I saw it when I searched 'zipzeta' like
    you mentioned. However when I clicked on the image
    and was taken to the profile page I still had the
    default Apple Itunes Podcast image with the dark
    figure and purple ringed background.
    I can confirm this, and I can't see why this should be. My own podcast has the same image tag as yours, and appears correctly: I can't see anything wrong with your page. Perhaps it's some sort of hiccup in the iTunes Store - it might sort itself out eventually - how long has this been the case?

  • Sync problem:  Why doesn't my phone show up in itunes to sync music, calanders,photos

    I recently switched to icloud.  When I connected my phone to my computer and went to itunes, my phone no longer appeared in the list.  This is where I am used to manually adding photos nd mucic from my libraries and other manual functions I perform.  I ltried to log into icloud and was told that my normal apple id passpwrd does not work.  I then went to settings on the phone and only found one thing, a choice to baxk my phone up to icloud.  I want to manually back up and add/replace music and photos as well as addredd book and especially calanders.  Please help.  I am a one on one memmber but I started a progression of lessons with the new OS.  I cloud comes next so I feel like I am behind in my abilities.  Please help

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download?

    Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download? 5.1.1 is what I have now.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

    I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
    I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
    Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

    Tell Apple at the link below.

  • Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page?

    Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page? I subscribed to the 30 day free Creative Cloud membership just yesterday.
    Please help.

    Could it be that you are running Windows XP?  I believe there is some automatic detection of the operating system you are running, and if it is not supported by the application, it does not show up on the download page.
