My dad gave me a new ipad from a guy at work, its new but its not from the box, i charged it and turned it on, and it says to plug into itunes via usb cord. When I plug it into my laptop, my itunes doesnt pick up the device at all, How can I get it to show up in the device section so i can register it and turn it on actually? Im lost. Anything would help thanks.
iPad, Windows XP
First make sure you meet the requirements
yes I have all of that...??? any other suggestions
Try unistalling and reinstalling iTunes. While iTunes is not installed, plug the iPad back in to see if Windows recognizes that you have connected a new USB device. If it does unplug and reinstall iTunes. If you have time maybe uninstall all of the Apple software so it will be somewhat of a clean slate.
hey thanks i actually got it now after doing that....
Cool beans!!! :-)
'I've got the same problem the only thing is none of these solutions fix it.I've reinstalled but iTunes wont recognise my ipad dispite recognising my iPhone quite well. my ipad is brand new
Feel such an idiot. plugged ipad into the back of my pc instead of the front and it worked fine. Doh
