iPad iTunes will not see any iDevices

[Traxan]

Please forgive if this is the wrong place to post, but my greatest frustration right now is with my iPads .

So I have two PCs (sorry, not really) a laptop and a desktop, and neither one will see any of my iDevices. None of my iPads or my iPhone. Apple Devices, On the other hand, sees everything I connect to the PC. The iPads and the iPhone. Unfortunately, I cannot restore a backup from one iPad to another with Apple Devices. It has to be iTunes and iTunes will not see any device that I connect to the either of the PCs. I've done all the usual Fixes like checking the install and rebooting, reinstalling iTunes, nothing.

Also I have a new iPad and I'm trying to restore the backup from the old iPad onto the new device with no luck. Bluetooth is on but the iPad hangs when trying to discover the new device. so I can't make the transfer.

So yeah. I've got two problems: iTunes not seeing any device on two PCs and the iPads will not link up to transfer the old install to the new. Please help.

Sometimes, a new Apple device requires a higher version of iTunes than a user's computer can run. In those cases, you're SOL.

I see that you've tried re-installing iTunes, but does the version of iTunes meet the requirements of your new iPad? I'm not a PC user, but could it be that the required iTunes needs to run on Win11 and your PC's are on Win10? It's worth a double check to confirm the iPad's requirements against what you have on the PC.
