Windows PC not recognizing my iPad

plugged iPad into my Dell laptop (first time in a while) and get message that iPad cannot be recognized because there is a lower version of iTunes present.  Not sure if that meant on the PC or on the iPad.  Downloaded the upgrade on the PC, but still not recognition of iPad.  Click on iTunes button on iPad but cannot find nor am I prompted to download any updated version of iTunes.
All I am trying to do is transfer some photos from my PC to the iPad.  This is INSANE on how difficult this process is.
Any help would be appreciated.  I am sure it is a simple fix, but there is no obvious instruction that I can find to help me out.

not sure what you mean when you say 'i have updated the iOS on my iPad' - I have not done anything to the iPad yet.  I did download the latest version of iTunes on the laptop.  That should be current.  The iTunes on my laptop is not recognizing the iPad....and giving me a warning that the iPad needs to be updated.
I do not know how to update my iPad, I guess.

    Do you have iTunes 11? If not, upgrade.
    Try a different USB port
    Try a different cable if you have one.
    Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. let it reboot and try again.

  • HP 5470c Scanjet on Windows 7 not recognized / will not initialize

    Scanner first set up on Windows Xp system. New HP p6710f desktop purchased last year with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system which recognized the scanner on USB and worked flawlessly . Recently rearranged the office which required disconnecting the peripherals, and now the scanner is not recognized .
    The product support area on this website says the scanner is not supported on WIn 7 .  How then did it work previously ?
    And why would HP discontinue support for a product that still has a long useable life ? Is this just a ruse to encourage purchase of new products ? Should the baby be thrown out with the wash water ?
    I am not a computer guru , but suspect a 'driver' is needed to get operational again ?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered .

  • Itunes is not recognizing my ipad wirelessly

    All of a sudden iTunes is not recognizing my iPad through my wireless network. It does recognize my phone however. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, turning my iPad off and on and everything. Still nothing. This just started yesterday.

    Have you checked to make sure that the iPad is still set for WiFi sync in iTunes in the Summary Pane of iTunes? Sometime settings go wonky - it happened to me tonight.
    Connect the with the cable again to check the setting - if iTunes is not seeing the iPad via wifi you will have to use the cable. So connect again - check the settings - sync with the cable again - then select the WiFi option again and click on Apply. Let the changes apply and eject the iPad.
    Quit iTunes, restart your computer and then try again.

  • Windows Vista not recognizing ZEN Mi

    I upgraded to Windows Vista 32-bit ultimate, and my ZEN Micro is not recognized. I have let Vista search for drivers online automatically, but it finds no solution. Creative says there is nati've support, so why is my ZEN not recognized?

    Update:?I downloaded the XP driver and ran it in XP SP2 compatibility mode. My ZEN now shows up under My Computer, however the device is still not recognized by MediaSource, ZENcast, or the playsure sync manager. I get the error "no device connected" even though it is showing up in My Computer and I can view my files. Any ideas?Message Edited by michaelgazin on 04-8-2007:58 PM

  • Windows 8 not recognizing my ipod

    I got a new computer in December and since then, I have been unable to get the computer to recognize my iPod. It's an older model. White with click wheel, 30GB.  I can't reset it using iTunes because the computer won't even recognize it. It's not even charging when connected to the computer.  I've gone through the 5 steps, but the problem isn't with any of those. The iPod works, iTunes works. Windows 8 is the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
