itunes won't detect ipad 2

I solve my problam with a Ipad reset , holding both sleep and home buttons for several seconds til it automatically reset

I have the same problem. iPhone 4 is working fine and iPad 1. I have also upgraded to the lates itunes but itunes does still not recognise the iPad even though the PC does! Have you found a solution to yours?

After doing some digging on the Apple website, I came across an article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923) that said to delete iTunes AND all Apple components. After doing so, my iPad 2 connected to iTunes right after installation. It's tedious, but well worth it!

Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:

1. iTunes
2. QuickTime
3. Apple Software Update
4. Apple Mobile Device Support
5. Bonjour
6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)

Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.

Not really solved...

Some times the iPad 2 is recognised other not 😟

Dear all,

What I have been observing is that the first time you connect your iPad2 to the Win7 64bit system, iTunes will recognize it fine. But only the 1st time. The following times, iPad2 is ignored.

What I did as work-around is to create a WinXP 32 bit virtual machine and capture the iPad2 USB connection with the virtual machine... It works fine always!!

Obviously, iTunes for Win64bit is a crock.

Before the ios5 update I had no problem with iTunes 64bit , win7 64 bit , iPhone 3GS , iPhone 4 and iPad2

Now some times the iPad 2is recognized others not

Coincidence or not with theiPad connected to my computer and not recognized, I made a iPad reset , holdingboth sleep and home buttons for several seconds, after that (without disconnectingthe cable) its recognized again 🙂

Someone please make a tryand report the results

TX

It really works for me 🙂

Thanks alot mate, fix my iPhone 4s with your solution!! Your my hero of the day!!

I think i found a solution (on Win 7). Itunes did not reconize my ipad 2 even after i re-installed itunes. So I went to the start menu, typed Devices and Printers, clicked on it, scroll till you see the ipad under "unspecified", right click, click troubleshoot. it should find and update the driver Hope this helps!

Solved for me. I had an old xp computer i connect the ipad2 and i sync it with that computer. then i connected in my win7 ultimate x64 and it works. I hope it works for you guys

All,

Having struggled with this I seem to have found an answer for those that still had no luck. Reading multiple forums the issue (may or may not) be associated with Windows 7 64bit and those with Intel chipsets.

I seem to have fixed mine by going into the BIOS and disabling the USB advanced modes (on mine its the sleep and charge modes).

It may just be a coincidence, but having stuggled for 2 days it seems to have sorted it.

Best of luck!

This worked for me (my service wasn't even started for some reason).

Thanks!

For those wanting to try:

Okay I found the fix that actually does work and is on the apple support page. Here it is:

That being said, itunes does recognize and update, but I'm still getting the the not charging message. Hopefully that will go away with future updates.

MY iPad can connect sometimes, but only after I completely reinstall all the software. I have to do this every time I want to sync my iPad. It is crazy. I don't know what to do.

I am beginning to think the same thing.

Of course they tried to sell you a Mac! They don't want it to work on Windows, but they sure want us to buy an Ipad.
