Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.

Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update. iTunes says "can't allocate a resource"

I had the same problem after updating to iOS 7 today. I did follow the advice on another site, but additionally rebooted my iMac. Worked after that.
Follow these steps to reset the Lockdown folder:
Disconnect all iOS devices from your computer and quit iTunes.
From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
Type the following and then press Return:
/var/db/lockdown.
The Finder window should display one or more files with long alphanumeric file names.
In the Finder, choose Edit > Select all. Then, choose File > Move to Trash. Enter an administrator password if prompted.
Note: Do not delete the Lockdown folder itself. Delete only the files contained inside the Lockdown folder.
Reconnect your iOS device and open iTunes
My Additional step: reboot the Mac. Your iPad should give the first indication that it has worked by asking you to "trust this computer" or some such. Agree. Then iTunes should have reopened with your iPad showing and syncing.

Imac not showing the contents of my classic iPod and iPad when i connect them to the iMac?

imac not showing the contents of my ipod classic and ipad when i connect them to my imac?

That's not much to go on.
What operating system and version are you using? Are you using the most recent version of iTunes? If so, did you update prior to this happening? What other changes might have triggered this? What troubleshooting have you done already and what was the result?

Wi-fi won't connect after updating to iOS5

wi-fi wont connect after updating to iOS5

This is what worked for me:
1. In wireless settings, select your router and then selet "forget this network."
2. Turn wireless off.
3. Hard restart the phone (press power switch and main button simultaneously, hold them until the phone turns off.
4. Reboot your router, preferably unplug the power cord completely.
5. After your router is up and running, turn wireless back on, select your network, then enter your password.
For me, the fix was immediate. I hope it works for you!

IPod and ipad won't let my apple Id be used for iMessage or face time

My iPod and my iPad last week decided to sign me out of FaceTime and iMessage after nearly a year of use, and just displayed the error message appeared that my apple Id or password had changed this made no sense so I went and changed my password no success. Next I tried rebooting both devices no change. Then I closed down all the apps and tried no change. Next I tried to sign in via settings this time I got the message that you need to verify your account and an email has been sent. No email recieved and so I still couldn't sign into iMessage or FaceTime. Next I tried signing in on my sisters iPod touch and it gave me the same error so I asked her to sign in on my devices and it allowed her. So i realised the issue is with my account is there a way of checking that my account can still be used for iMessage or a way of seeing if my account has a error or glitch, or should I create a new account.

Hi Go to itunes bottom of page sign out then sign back in that may help . Cheers Brian

After updating to IOS 6 in both iPhones and iPads I have difficulty to update applications, since I cannot switch from US store to my ID store which is in Greece.

After updating to IOS 6, I cannot update apps, it produces a MSG you cannot use your ID in the US store. my apple store is in Greece how can I change this from iPhone/ IPad?

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

HT4235 Ipod and iphone won't connect to computer. Computer says that it is receiving wrong information, Can there be another way to connect?

Ipod and iphone say that they cannot connect when trying to sync with itunes through my computer. Only answer is that the computer says that it is receiving an invalid response from the phone and ipad. Is there an answer?

Try downloading the current iTunes installation and reinstall it over the existing.
Even though it worked previously with your iPhone, connecting via a USB hub is not recommended.

Iphone and ipad won't connect with printer

I just got an HP photosmart B210A printer. The printer works great with wireless from my pc. When I want to print from my iphone or ipad they see the printer, I press print and all I get is that it is connecting with the printer. Does anyone have any

Hi,
On both the iPhone and iPad..
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
Then restart your devices. Try printing.
Restarting the router may help also.

Ipad won't start after updating to ios 8.1.3

My iPad was working without issue prior to updating to IOS 8.1.3 yesterday. After updating, not only would the ipad not start, it produced intermittent tones. The tone heard when device is plugged into an outlet for charging.
I attempted to turn the device off but it would not respond. Afterwards, a reboot was attempted numerous times by holding the home and sleep buttons down simultaneously. Once the Apple logo appeared the buttons were released, the logo disappeared but the device remained dormant.
While connected to iTunes and emitting the connection tones, periodically the splash screen would appear momentarily then turn off. I was able to swipe the screen on one of these occasions. The device worked properly until it was turned off after use at which time it would not turn on again and remains unable to turn on. It does not respond to attempts to turn it off or rebooting.
Prior to the update I did backup the device in case something like this would occur. Since I appear to have exhausted all my options to get the device to work, I feel the only remaining option is to restore it to factory default. I would appreciate advice from anyone who may either have experienced this same issue and found a resolution, or can provide thoughts on how I should proceed please.
If I proceed with a restore to factory default followed by a restore of the most recent backup, will I lose any data during this process? This will be my first time to erase a device so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I would, of course, prefer an alternative resolution. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, Tony.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPad no long starts after an update and you have a backup for your iPad. It sounds like you will need to restore the device to factory and then will have the option to access your backup after the restore complete. The only information that should be missing would be after the backup was completed until the device is restored. I have included the steps for going through this process in the articles below.

My iPad Won't Rotate after updating to iOS 6.

After updating to iOS 6, my iPad2 won't auto rotate. I already checked if the rotation was locked, so this isn't the case. I tried restarting it and rebooting it. The only possible way to rotate the screen is to turn off the iPad, rotate the iPad, then turn on the iPad again. Please help me, I don't know how to fix this problem.

I had same problem post upgrade to iOS 6.1.3
I went to
[Setting] [General] and set the
[Use_Side_Switch_To] option from [Rotation ...] to [Mute]
Checked switch by manually flipping the button on iPad cover (next to volume) back and forth and seeing images of mute actions appear sceen centre
But on checking further not all apps rotated automatically ... so ...
Manually closed all open apps by:
Screen button x2 in quick succession bottom bar appears with all active apps
Touch and hold on of these apps in this bar untill the x appears on them and the wobble
Close each one down by touching x
Then
Rebooted ( ... just like a Microsoft machine :-)
Now all working working ... boy you really miss that feature when its not functioning ...
Dont know if all steps relevant but this is what worked for me ...
... best of luck

Ipad won't sync after updating to snow leopard

Any help available regarding a non-syncing ipad first gen, after updating to snow leopard on my imac? The ios software on ipad is up to date, and the snow leopard version is also up to date. The computer will not even recognize that the ipad is connected. Thx.

Try something very simple first. Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad. Then try again.
I had some issues when I first installed SL on my last MacBook, and I still have issues every now and then with the iPad not being recognized (now running Lion 10.7.3 on a new MacBook Pro) and this has always worked for me. You may have to reboot the Mac a couple of times - but try it and see if it works for you.

Won't connect after updating to version 36, unless open up another browser first

This has happened to me both times today when i powered up my laptop. I noticed that I
was upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (36) today, but when i open the browser, I
get the 'unable to connect' message. I try a few sites and they all give me the same message.
Weirdly one of system tray icons i hvae (weather channel) connected fine and was displaying
temperature already. Weirder yet, when i bring up IE, i can connect, and after IE is up, I can
then bring up Firefox and have no more problems until i shut down...
Something weird is going on...any thoughts on what the update changed?

hi flyerphann, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

IPod Touch suddenly won't sync after updating app

I installed an update for an app and now my ipod touch won't sync. The mac doesn't see it and it doesn't even charge when hooked up. It charges fine with the same cable on a wall charger. My son's ipod is fine, I've restarted the ipod and the mac, I've reset the ipod, i've swapped usb's and cables, no luck. I've tried holding down the lock and power buttons. Its a 32 gig model, SW version 3.1.3. Can I uninstall an app? I suspect its tic tac toe free causing the problem

Welcome to the discussions,
you can delete the app on your ipod by touching the icon until it starts to shake, then hit the little cross to delete it.
Did you try to connect in recovery mode to see if it is recognized by your mac? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
