I started to update my ipad but I have an old MacBook and it's really old and I don't have the correct software to update anything. But my ipad is stuck on the connect to itunes screen and wont budge. What do I do?!
Your options depend on which MacBook you have and the version of OS X installed.

My Ipad is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen, I have tried plugging into iTunes but it makes the necessary noise but the computer does not recognise it and nothing alters on the Ipad screen. Have tried various computers and leads and it still does not work. Have also tried the switching off, plugging in to computer and turning on again using the on button and then the home button but nothing works. This happened while I was downloading software update. Please help me.
I suggested several things to GeekyNerdGirl in her first post here. Take a look.
My iPad is in what seems like permanent restore mode after iOS 7.2 update?
It can take more than a few attempts before Recovery Mode will work and you have to follow the steps exactly. DFU mode is even harder to perform correctly beside of the 10 second hold. Don't stop trying. Eventually one of these methods could work for you. -
My iPad is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen
My iPad was given to me from a friend who couldn't get it to work, So Im not totally sure of the steps leading up to the current issue.
Currently the iPad is stuck at the connect to iTunes screen, it doesn't appear in iTunes, not even in DFU mode. I am running Lion and it has yet to even appear in system profiler. I have tried 2 cables, both work fine with my iPhone but not the iPad. I cant tell if it charges or not, the battery is charged for now, and pluging it in doesn't tell me anything. Any ideas? or is it just a shiny paper weight?
Thanks.I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Check here to see if it is still under warranty:

My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!
AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right? -
My iPad isn't acknowlegded, but my iPhone connects to iTunes no problem. Is this a driver issue since my iPad has never been connected to my PC?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS1538 my iPad is stuck on the connect to itunes screen after updating.
I have seen several post about screen locked on the iTunes connect after updating software. I have tried all these methods. My iTunes does not recognize my device and my device will not turn on so I cannot do a reset. I tried the hard reset by pressing both the home button and the on/off switch and then connecting to my computer. My computer dings like a new device was connected but I cannot see my device in iTunes.
Suggestions appreciated.If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I have a Ipod Touch 2G that is stuck on the "Connect to Itunes Logo" How can I get it back in operating order with out the access to a home computer? Can anybody Help me? I need it back to work.....
Connect the iOS device to your computer restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

My Ipad has been stuck on the connect to Itunes screen now for days, it will not charge through the PC or wall charger. When plugged into the PC it is not recognized by it. Itunes doesn't see it and it will not let me reboot the system. How can I get past this so I can start using it again?

I recieved an iPad mini as gift this past spring (2013). I tried to upate my iPad to the new iOS 7.0.4 software. It seemed work fine, but when it reboted it got stuck on the connect to itunes screen. I've connected my iPad to itunes and it does not recognize it. When I connected my iPhone 5s to itunes it recognized it immediately. Will apple replace my ipad if the connect to itunes screen doesn't go away?
The iPad doesn't need to be replaced.
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost -
