iPad not found by iTunes

Hi,

I'm trying to connect an iPad to a Windows 10 VM running iTunes. I've tried hosting the server on a Windows 11 server, but couldn't get iTunes to see the device, and I've tried hosting the server on a raspberry pi.

Both times the VM sees the iPad, shows it in Device Manager, allows me to go to the device in explorer, but iTunes is not detecting the device.

Is there anything I can do to get this to work? I only need to connect the device once to enable WiFi syncing to setup AltServer.

Thanks
