HT4623 what do you do when iTunes cannot connect to device

I keep getting the message that itunes cannot connect to my device when I try to sync up my ipad to my imac.  This even happens when I am directly connected to the imac.
any suggestions?

I made the mistake of renaming my iPad between synchs and it got the error "iTunes could not connect to this iPad. Could not save the pairing record."  Renamed it back to what it was before, which was just iPad and was able to clear the error. 
I realize your post is from a while back, but I believe we are going to start seeing this problem again.

  • What do you do when iTunes provides the wrong album art?

    What do you do when iTunes downloads the wrong album art? I haven't found an easy way to override this or notify the iTunes store about it.
    I have gone in and deleted, and re-updated the artwork. I have also gone song by song and looked to see if more than one piece of artwork is associated. Neither fix this.
    Specific current example is the Amon Tobin album "Chaos Theory". The artwork was correct on this until just recently. Currently the artwork downloaded is for the Chaos Theory Remix album (for both the original album, and the remix album).
    Who controls this? The content publisher (e.g.-Ninja tunes)?
    Thanks

    Go into the track ot tracks en block and get info. Go to the artwork tab and delete the downloaded artwork. Google to find alternative artwork and then add it to the track(s).

  • For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed?

    For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed ?  This has happened for the past two days.  I have changed nothing.  It happens at home and at work.  What do you do?  What has happened?  Thank you.

    What are you trying to do when you get this error message? Is it related to mail, connecting to the iTunes store, Facebook/iMessage, your internet ISP? All of these are different servers.

  • HT4623 what do I do when Itunes does not recognize my iphone?

    Last back up was in Jan. Went to back up and Itunes did not come up as normal. Opened Itunes and went to select iphone. Iphone not listed. I have deleted Itunes and re-installed program. Still no luck getting itunes to see my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello Punono,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • What do you do when it says the required disk cannot be found?

    What do you do when iTunes says the required disk cannot be found?

    Quit iTunes, restart your iPad, restart your computer and then try again.
    If you have another USB to dock connector cable - use that one when you try again. Use another USB port on the computer as well.

    Hi Ahmed,
    In iTunes, go to the Store in the left menu, select iTunes Store, wehn it opens, make sure you are on the home screen (icon of a house in the menu bar) and from the righthand side, select Account.
    Next you will see all of your account information. Just a little don, you will find: Apple ID overview, there it says, Authorised computers; click on the button to deauthorise.
    And you should be done.
    Grtz, Carl.

    That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

  • What do you do when you open iTunes and it doesn't respond?

    Hi. What do you do when you open iTunes, but doesn't respond, eventhough you forcequit and open again?

    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.
