Why will my PC no longer recognize my ipad?

I have connected my iPad to my computer many times.  Now when I try, the iPad is not showing up in iTunes, and my iPad says NOT CHARGING.

The not charging is normal. Most USB ports don't put out enough power to keep the ipad happy, so it says not charging.
Have you recently updated iTunes and are you on a PC? If so, try this
Go into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work then.
If not there are some more indepth things you can try.

  • Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?

    Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.

    Good Afternoon Geraldine,
    I understand you are wondering why you did not receive an email receipt instantly for an iBook purchase made on March 2nd.  Is this the first time you've noticed a delay?  I would suggest contacting the iTunes Support team to report the issue.  With your permission, they can access your account and possibly shed some light on this particular transaction.

  • I'd love some help trying to figure out why my 2008 MacBook no longer recognizes my external drive and now is not downloading photos from my iphone....?

    After many years of having no problems at all on my Macbook, I recently figured I should finally upgrade my OS. I did that about three weeks ago, updating to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I used Time Machine at least once after the OS upgrade but now Time Machine no longer recognizes the external drive I have used for all these years to back up. The MacBook does not "see" it. (Disk Utility does however.) The computer then also stopped recognizing another La Cie back-up that I have and now... my iPhone cannot download photos? Yikes.
    I have, of course, shut down numerous times, used different cables (that worked for some) and the two USB drives. I even used a firewire. Nothing worked. I also tried to "Repair disk" on Disk Utility. It didn't work either, giving me an error (that I didn't save, sorry).
    I read many other discussions on the file format of the external drive and of course I'd be happy to reformat the external drives--however, it is obviously a tad nerve-wracking to reformat drives before having an accessible back-up. Suggestions? I do not remember what file format they have but am pretty sure it's not the Mac file system someone mentioned. The drives are a 2009 WD "My Passport Elite" and La Cie 2007 d2 Quadra,
    In terms of other hardware available, we do have another MacBook Air but it has  started rejecting both drives as well (without the Snow Leopard upgrade). We have an old Dell but it wouldn't have the disk space to help out much.
    Any thoughts on the process involved would be welcome.  Any ideas on the iPhone rejection would be helpful as well! It is a 30gig iPhone 4 that has 20 or so gigs free (not clear as iTunes says that there are abour 18 Gigs on the phone but 24 free gigs? I may be bad at math but that's 40 gigs...).
    I am checking out iCloud but apparently there are only 55 gigs available?
    Will be glad to hear any thoughts. Thanks!

    Good afternoon Lyssa,
    Phew. First of all, thanks in advance...these blogs are always comforting help!
    So, to answer your questions: For the age of the hard drive.Well, I added memory a couple of years ago (RAM and hard drive). Being a mom leads me to eat up a fair amount of gigs with photos of my kids and, in fact, I think I entirely replaced the original drive, so it is a couple years younger than 2008 since I did that in March 2010. If there is some way to verify that (whether or not I replaced the entire drive), I'm all ears. I have 311 Gigs free, so it is not a space issue. I verified the startup disk on Disk Utilityand nothing showed up.
    Question 1- What formats...
    The La Cie is format Windows NT Filesystem 3G ....At the time that I bought it I was still using a PC as well as a Mac and was told by afriend to use this format...
    The WD is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I again tried to repair the WD last night and this is the error message: "Error: DiskUtility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
    Also, Time Machine tried again to back-up and gave  me this error: "Files can't becopied onto the backup disk because it appears to be 'read only'. You may needto repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can't berepaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machinepreferences to select a different backup disk."
    Question 2. Other cables...
    I used two other cables with the WD and that didn't change anything.  
    Question 3... Fire Wire from the La Cie
    Yes, I used the Firewire cable from the La Cie and it is indeed present, though still not visible in Finder. Since it is not Mac OSExtended I know that I can't use Time Machine with it.  
    So, in summary...
    I can plug in the La Cie and it is functional on the MacBook, visible on Disk Utility but not visible in Finder. The WD drive is not visible and not functional. So we can think it is indeed the WD that is not working.... Also, the iphone photos did, in the end, get downloaded, so it is not something more general.
    Causes...
    I forgot to mention that there is a "lost+found" file on the WD which apparently points to a UNIX /OS issue?   
    Some kind of "insurance"?....
    I'm curious about how people avoid this kind of issue. You just regularly replace back-up drives and hard drives before problems come up? Time Machine is great and saves many of us from disasters, however, knowing that your Time Machine back-ups are vulnerable makes the whole system insecure. No way to have alarms ring before the drive goes out?   
    As for ways ahead...
    It seems that I ought to be able to copy off of the WD to the MacBook then erase it and reformat it and start over again. However, I haven’t been able to see its contents except on random occasions. If you have any ideas on how to copy the Time Machineback-ups from the WD, again, I'm all ears!

  • Why does the organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?

    Why does Photoshop Elements Organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?  Is there a new way to downolad?

    Detective" for $30.  Is this something worth investing in or should we be
    able to solve this ourselves?   My brain hurts.
    No it is not worth investing in this because it is a very expensive way of getting viruses. These detectives and those who say they can find the fault on your machine by installing their software are bunch of hackers.
    If your camera is not recognized then it suggests that either your USB is faulty or the cable linking the two is faulty.
    Can you connect anything else like a flash drive to your USB port that you are using for your camera and is it recognized?

  • Why will my photoshop no longer open

    Why will my photo shop element 7 not open any more, I suspect it is to force me into a subscription to the cloud service now being offered by Adobe.

    Also if the keychain password for your network is not the same or your network encryption is not the same as the router you will not be able to connect. Also if you network provider has automatic DHCP then there is no reason to manually set it up yourself.https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18522?locale=en_US

  • No longer recognizes when iPad/iPod are plugged in

    Mac will no longer mount my iPad and iPod.   Both components recognize that something is being plugged in, but nothing happens on the Mac end.
    Have tried so far:
    switching out cables
    using different USB input
    restarting and hard reboot
    Any ideas?

  • Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

    Hi,
    Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
    I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
    If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
    Thanks!

    I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
    So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

  • My laptop has a new image on it and itunes will not let me sync my iPad say I have to deauthorize one of my 5 authorizations.  This laptop is one of the 5 but it no longer recognizes the iPad.  How do I deauthorize?

    How do I deauthorize the laptop when the original image and itunes is gone?

    If you've reached five authorizations for your iTunes Store account, there will be a button in your Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.

  • Why will .avi file no longer play?

    I had an .avi file saved on my computer, captured from a DV camcorder.  I played it fine in Quicktime Pro 7 and used it in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 to edit.  Once I was finished with it, I compressed it to a .zip file using the "compress" option in Finder.  That was about 2 weeks ago.  Yesterday, I uncompressed the zip file and when I try to play the .avi file in Quicktime, I get a message that says that Quicktime requires additional software.  To my knowledge, I have every codec I would need installed in my computer, and if Quicktime needs additional software now, why did it not need it 2 weeks ago?  Could the .zip file somehow have damaged the file?  I would appreciate any suggestions!

    Oh, additional information: other .avi files captured in the same way play fine in Quicktime.

  • Why does my iMac no longer recognize my external disk device after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

    I've used an external hard drive for my Time Machine back-up for a few years.  After I upgraded to Snow Leopard recently, the Time Machine delayed.  When I tried to select a disk, my external drive no longer appears (it says "None").  The USB and power are all plugged in.

    Thanks for replying.  No, it doesn't show up anywhere anymore.

  • Why will PSE 12 no longer start after fresh installation?

    After numerous attempts by Dell Support agent and by myself.  I cannot get PSE 12 to start at all.
    I made the last install to a separate Elements folder, not to the Adobe folder.  The .exe file for the editor appears sufficiently large to be complete.  So far, I have found no way to make it start.
    I learned that Elements receives no free telephone support.
    The Adobe support phone number given me by Dell was disconnected.
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Hi Barbara,
    I gave the story a few days ago, but I don't know how to reconnect to
    that thread.  After about 90 days of running on a new Dell Win 7 system,
    PSE 12 reverted to the trial version.  I got Dell support to try to find
    the problem.  After two days of work, uninstalling and reinstalling PSE
    12, it quit working entirely. Dell says the problem is with the program,
    not the computer.
    With no one to talk to except this forum, I have been searching for
    solutions.  I did normal reinstalls from both Dell and Adobe sites, all
    to no avail.  Since all of the Adobe files are lumped in one folder, and
    I seem to recall clicking on an upgrade screen near the time this
    started, I decided to put PSE 12 in its own folder.
    With any other .exe file, clicking on the file will normally launch the
    program, even if the shortcut is not properly directed.  Nothing works
    with PSE 12 as it is now installed.
    Got any ideas?

  • Why does my Itunes no longer recognize my Iphone 4s?

    Just recently my Iphone (when plugged in to my Windows PC) does not show up on my Itunes. An "IPHONE" tab used to appear in the corner next to the "Itunes store" tab after i connected it, but now not any more. It does still charge my Iphone and when connected it does still ask if the Iphone can "trust" this computer. its done that before and when i would press "trust" it connected just fine, but now when i press "trust" it makes the "disconnecting" sound.the same sound that it makes when i disconnect from my pc. and no device appears on my itunes.
    Ive tried different USB cables and tried it without my otterbox on it and still. It seems like its not syncing because theirs a glich with the "Trust"-"Dont Trust" notification.. whats up?
