Ipad 2 crashes and goes to "connect to itunes"
For several months now, my kid's ipad 2 has been unstable. Apps frequently crash and, worse, the ipad itself crash almost twice or trhice per month. Then, the display goes to the screeen with the usb cable and "connect to itunes" message. The only option is to restore the ipad with itunes. This is very annoying.
Any help?

Ipad locked and can't connect to itune?
i just bought my ipad2 (used and just received it. i didn't have time to sync it with any other computer), and i put a password on it, but 5 min later i couldn't remember it. i tried several passwords but they were wrong. now the ipad is locked. so i read online that i need to connect it to a computer to reset it. so i tried to connect it, but now it says that itune cannot connect to the ipad because it is locked with a code, and that i need to put the code before the ipad can be used with itune.
so anybody have any suggestion on how i can reset or unlock it?
also, i also just bought a apps (navigon for 40$), will i lose this app if i restore it without back up?
(i know that a lot of people already asked this kind of question, but i couldn't find answer where the ipad was locked and at the same time couldn't connect to itune).
tks for any suggestionGlad you got things going again

My ipad crashed and wont wake up, it itunes cant detect it

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (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 iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary. -
my ipod touch 4g upgrade to version 5 and when I connect to iTunes stays in step 2 of 7 steps: backup saved ...... 1 hour goes well and you reinstall iTunes, reconnect, etc..HELPME!!!!
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Anything else here
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?
Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...AND yet it is connected..HELP
Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

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. -

I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!
You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network. -
Question to all iPad users please help in this issue
How to solve the problem of connecting my iPad to Itunes while my iPad not working and show to connect to iTunes?
Thank you for help out.Hi Jamalzoal,
Dose your computer have the most recent iTunes on it? When you connect the iPad 2 to your computer what happens? dose iTunes tell you the iPad need to be restored?
p.s. you post this question in the Apple Remote Desktop community. You would probable have gotten more an fast responses if you posted this in the iPad community. -
hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
Cannot restoe Ipad as I just keep mgetting Error Message (2003) and in Ipad scree the cable to connect to itunes.
Rick,
Are you trying to restore an iPad2 wifi + 3G?
I'm sure somebody will correct me (Genius, insert proper reason here), but I believe if you are trying to set an iPad 2 3G unit back to a previous iOS (if you mistakenly upgraded to 4.3.4 or 4.3.5) and are trying to go back to 4.3.3?
There is something inherent with the 3G units that won’t let you.
