With this post Apple now owes me a new iPad4. This laptop runs WIN7/64. After all I wasted hours of precious business time + 30 minutes on musical hold, and another 30 minutes getting the wrong solution - within an hour or so I found it. The solution is obvious in retrospect. Simply click the Start button, select Devices and Printers, Right click on iPad and select "Troubleshoot". Win's troubleshooter detects the driver problem and a click to fix it is all it takes. The icon in the D&P window is now named Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, of course. I checked and tried other ways to update driver earlier before abandoning the effort. The troubleshooter makes this fix Very "easy to use". And in my case, the attached iPad2 16gb wifi came to life almost immediately. 75 minute s/w upgrade, but... It Lives!

I wonder why it isn't documented, known at tech support terminals, or even discussed by Apple employees in this forum? You can consider this my bill.
