- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod won't connect to iTunes - pairing record is missing...

I get this iTunes message when connecting my first iPod, a brand new iPod touch to my mac:
"iTunes could not connect to iPod "iPod" because the pairing record is missing."
What does that mean? (Can this have something to do with other iPods that have been connected to my iTunes earlier?)
I followed the instructions Apple had to offer and reset the iPod etc.
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950>
I reinstalled iTunes 7.6 from my admin user. Then the iPod was recognized on this account with empty iTunes. Registered the iPod und updated software to 1.1.3. Restarted back into my regular user. Still same message, except now iPod "ihPod"... Now, where is that pairing record?

Yes, I restarted the machine after reinstalling iTunes 7.6, but that did not help.
Today I reinstalled again, this time from my users acount and that did the trick. I still don't know what or where the pairing record is. But installing iTunes on the spesific users account fixes it, it seems.

ITunes cannot connect to my iPad because pairing record is missing.

This is a one month old iPad that I just upgraded to ios 5 before I used it. I don't know if the problem is in the upgrade.
When I did the upgrade, the message "iTunes cannot connect to the iPad because the pairing record is missing" came up. I figured I would call AppleCare in the morning. Yesterday I hooked the iPad up to the computer and it paired fine with iTunes (at least it showed in the left column under devices) but did not show up in My Computer as being hooked into a USB port. Now today it says that it can't pair with iTunes. Any ideas of what I do before I make an appointment with the Genius desk? I'm on the west coast and AppleCare hours are not compatible with my schedule. Wish I would have known it wasn't 24/7 before I purchased it.

This helped after all other fixes wouldnt
delete "itunesDB" and "itunesCDB" using this program

Why am I getting error msg: Pairing Record is Missing?

I have been syncing my iPhone with my Win7 PC for several weeks now, but I am suddenly getting the error message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because the pairing record is missing". What does this mean, and why has it occurred? I've rebooted both my PC and the iPhone several times, with no luck. Just a few hours ago I successfully synced, and nothing's been changed on either device, but now I cannot sync. Thank you.

Do this:
Unplug your iPhone from your computer
Tap on the iTunes app
Scroll down to the bottom
Tap on your AppleID
Sign out
Sign back in
Plug your iPhone back into your computer
Your iPhone should now be recognized by iTunes.

IPhone 5 Restore: 'Pairing record is missing' error

Hello,
I backed up my iPhone 5 this morning as I was getting it replaced due to Scuffgate, I linked my new phone with iTunes and it seemed everything was fine until and error message appears reading: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because the pairing record is missing"
My phone then disappears on iTunes, however on inspection of my phone it seems it worked. I was wondering is this an error due to the phone being different from the one I backed up? If so is this normal and nothing to worry about?
I would test if it restores with a new back up file however it would mean putting in all the passwords again etc anyone else had this issue/experience?

Try rebooting your computer.

TS3212 iTunes can't connect with iPhone because the pairing record is missing

I have been having a lot of trouble with iTunes on Windows XP. I have had to completely uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, iPod, Apple Mobile Support, Apple Application Support, etc. and reinstall iTunes several times just to get to this point: now when I connect my iPhone using USB, I get the error message:
'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "John L. Mohammed" because the pairing record is missing.'
What is this about? What can I do about it?
It should be noted that the latest attempt to install iTunes does not seem to have installed QuickTime, though it does not complain about missing software.

Try disconnecting your phone from your computer, quit iTunes, connect you phone to your computer again, the re-launch iTunes.

Error: "pairing record is missing"

When i try to set up and sync with itunes i get "itunes cannot connect to ipod because pairing record is missing"
Any help would be appreciated.
Ted

I got the same error tonight.
Was having some odd problems with my iPod touch (16GB, v1.1.3 with January software upgrade) occasionally changing the date and time to Dec. 31, 1969, also getting stuck in caps lock mode, so I decided to restore.
First attempt at a restore failed. Second attempt looked like it succeeded, with a message that came up after the firmware restore that said the iPod would reappear in iTunes after it finished restarting. After a long wait, the iPod restarted with the "connect to iTunes" image, then went black. A short time later, a window popped up with the message about the missing pairing record.
Two, three or four attempts at disconnecting and reconnecting the cable all resulted in the same error message. I started writing this post, in fact, to report I was stuck with the same unusable iPod, when I reconnected the cable to make sure I had the wording of the error message correct.
Wouldn't you know? It connected just fine, asked me if I wanted to restore my settings and at the moment is syncing back all my music and movies. I'll return here if I see any more problems, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all's well.
