I just had one hell of a time trying to figure out why my iPad2 stopped showing up in iTunes after upgrading iTunes to the latest version (11.02.26). I tried updating the iPad software and rebooting both the computer and the iPad. I tried uninstalling iTunes and rebooting both the computer and iPad. I tried all of the steps located here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
What finally worked for me was to stop and start the Apple Mobile Device service as described below:
Windows XP
- Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Choose Start > Control Panel.
- Inside the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools.
- Open Services.
- Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service
- After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
- After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Click the Windows Start button.
- In the Start Search field type Services.
- In the Programs section of the search results, Click “Services”.
- Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
- After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
- After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
