"device timed out" when connecting ipad to computer

i have a mac book pro from 2013 and an ipad 3rd generation (as what it was labeled) from 2012 (i just got). I plug the ipad into the computer and itunes pops up and says that the device timed out and it can't connect to the computer. I have updated my mac and there are no updates for the ipad. i have tried different cords. i'm not the most tech savy, however. please help!?

This support article might be of some help.
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts - Apple Support
The the first thing that I always try when I have any issues connecting my iPad to my MacBook Pro is to eject my iPad, quit iTunes, reboot the Mac, reset the iPad and then try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. No data is lost when you reset an iOS device.
After doing all of that, try connecting again.

  • Consistently getting "The wait operation timed out" when connecting to Azure SQL Database from a virtual instance...

    I have a web app that is backed by a an Azure SQL Database. The problem is that I had multiple issues when connecting to the database mainly when trying to establish a connection, or timeouts. This is the log I just encountered when trying to use the web
    app.
    [Win32Exception (0x80004005): The wait operation timed out]

This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time.

    Hi Affar2k,
    According to your description, we need to verify if there is no network issue and the Sqlclient version is older than .NET 4.5.  You can try to connect to the Windows Azure SQL database via SSMS and check if it can run well. When you
    connect to the SQL Azure database via ADO.NET, you need to verify that the server name and passwords are right in the connection string.
    For more information, you can review the following article about how to connect to Windows Azure SQL Database using ADO.NET.

  • How do I stop Firefox from timing out when connecting to NDN video servers?

    Many news websites use the video servers at NDN. Firefox seems to invariably time out when trying to display videos hosted there. An error message box will popup that says "[Error](com.ndn.video::StreamingVideo) OPV Error #6 Timed out while trying to connect."
    I've tried to edit some of the timeout settings in about:config but I don't know for sure which to modify.

    Thanks for your quick reply!
    I neglected to mention I'm running FF 24.0 on a Mac 10.9 Mavericks system. There was not a Tools -> Options choice on the menu, but I did find it on the Preferences panel, on the Advanced tab (see image 1).
    I made the auto-detect selection as you advised and restarted FF. After navigating to a video I once again received the error message (see image 2).
    So either I did something wrong (possible but I don't think so; I double-checked the setting after the restart and it is set to auto detect) or the problem lay elsewhere.
    Anything else come to mind?

  • "connection timed out" when connecting to outside wireless networks

    I have had trouble connecting to some wireless networks. I have no problem at home, at various cafes and such, nor at work. Some hotels or friends' houses that I've tried to connect to give me the message, "connection timed out" after I've entered the correct network and password. The router appears to work fine, since other people can get on the network. What am I missing?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    J

    Finally figured out what it was. Had to reset settings on the router after a lightning storm, contacted Linksys and they walked me through the appropriate sequence, troubleshooting on their end took about 20 mins but they were extremely helpful and very familiar with OS 10.5, all this time I thought it was the Mac's fault.

  • Connect iPad to MAC computer and get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device timed out.  ??

    Connect iPad to MAC computer and get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device timed out.  What is the likely problem???

    Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart the Mac and reset the iPad and try again. Use another USB port on the Mac if you have a free one to use.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • ITunes could not connect to the iPad "Micah's iPad Air" because the device timed out.

    After using my ipad air for the last week, I plugged it in for the first time to back up some videos. I get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad “Micah's iPad Air” because the device timed out. Any ideas?

    Eject your iPad if you haven't already done so. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Reboot your iPad and then try again, use another USB port on your computer, of you have another free port available,
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Connection to remote device timed out

    The connection from my computer to the FP-1600 module is through a hub and two cat-5 cables.  Able to see the device under the "Remote Systems" tree, the device name is its IP.  I used my computer's own IP as the Time Server. A "The Connection to a Remote Device Timed Out" error message appears when I clicked on Find Devices. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Yuen,
    Is the status LED on your FP-1600 blinking?  If so, how many times?
    Try connecting directly to your FP-1600 via a cross-over ethernet cable.  Configure the IP address, then attach the controller to a hub.  See if you are able to find the devices then.
    Let me know your results.
    Regards,
    Sean C.

  • When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

    When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

    Hello asrt17,
    This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
    When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
    Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
    Cheers,
    Allen
