I have a MacBook Pro and i will not sync it with my iPad. The computer does not recognise my iPad, although it does recognise iPhoto on iPad but not iTunes. Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), iPad 2 16 GB
Hello Frogtitan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your iPad cannot be recognized by iTunes on your Mac, then please follow the steps outlined below.
Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
- If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
- Restart your iOS device.
- Restart your Mac.
- Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Install software updates on your Mac.
If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.- Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
- Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
- Try another USB cable.
