ITunes finds iPad in DFU mode when no iPad is connected...

Every time I open iTunes it detects a supposed iPad in DFU mode even if there's no iPad present. System Profiler also shows up with a DFU iPad in the USB section...

Iphone 4s A5 6.1.1 stuck dfu mode after "restore" REPOST

This is pretty straight forward, i have a next to new, iphone 4s 32gb A5 processor that was updated to 6.1.1, but I needed to restore it before I sold it on ebay to upgrade to an iphone 5.
I tried restoring the iphone again and it made it to "verifying firmware restore" or something like that and then the restore stopped and I got the (-1) error.
I then tried disableing my firewall and security software, reinstalling itunes, rebooting my computer, tried different cables and usb ports, and finally tried my roommates computer and nothing works.
Any help would be great, however its looking like I have to meet with the "geniuses." If it comes down to me going to apple do you think they will be able to fix the software? or am I f-ed?
(i am reposting this...again, because it was deleted for the wrong reason, and because I am not the only one with this problem and so far I have not seen a single answer for it

Error (-1) is usually resolved by disabling security software but when that doesnt resolve it, it usually means you need to send the device in for service as a hardware issue. As long as you are still in warranty, Apple will repair or replace the device.

TS4062 ipad frozen, tried reset from rec. mode, usb cable showing on screen, waiting for ipad, then ipad fails to respond. what can i do?

ipad mini froze when charging, have tried all restore options, when i get to waiting for ipad in itunes when restoring in recovery mode the usb cable disappears from the screen, the apple logo appears then the recovery line beneath logo, then there is no further response from ipad. have been trying to resolve this issue for couple days now very frustrated. can anyone help please?

Use the charger that came with the iPad or a name brand charger of equal or greater capacity. Plug that into a known good wall outlet. Then wait at least an hour. While the iPad is still plugged in to the charger reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If the iPad restarts continue to charge it until the battery is at 100%
If the iPad does not start Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

IPad disconnected during update. Now all I have is the Apple logo

My iPad was disconnected during todays iOS update. Now it's frozen on the Apple logo screen. Any help out there?

Hi, PikFlyer.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPad is unresponsive at the Apple logo when attempting to update. I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps below.
If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
Cheers,

Everytime I try to restore a backup on my iPhone 5 from iTunes the phone goes in DFU mode and stay stuck

i backed my phone up on itunes and then I changed the battery on my own. the problem is that I can set the phone as a new one but when I try to restore a backup it goes on DFU mode and stay stuck. What can I do?

Once you opened the device you voided any post-warranty support from Apple or the forum. You are on your own. You can try a 3rd party repair facility, but you cannot get any help here or from Apple.

When i delete a app i have had the dreaded black screen and i have to put my iphone 5 in dfu mode and restore it can anyone explain why this happens

when i delete a app my screen goes black and i have to put in dfu mode and restore it didnt happen till i upgraded software any reason for this

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

TS3694 How to restore ipad on dfu mode error 9?

Hi guys
Need help how to restore IPAd in dfu mode error 9?

Hi guys
Need help how to restore IPAd in dfu mode error 9?

I put my ipad into dfu mode, by mistake, and now have to restore it. Can I redownload all the paid apps (And Books) on it for free?

This was a TOTAL mistake. I had no idea what I was doing. I put my iPad into DFU mode, and now have to restore it. (That didnt end well, knowing I had just bought a bunch of books and apps) I want to know, after I restore my iPad can I go into the app store or iBooks and redownload the books and apps I had originaly payed for? Thanks for the help

Yes, App Store and iBooks have a "Purchased" tab, allowing you to re-download at no additional charge.
But that may not be necessary if you restore from a backup. You might be able to get all of your content back from the restore.

I was trying to update my Ipad to IOS 8, the screen is all black with the apple logo on it and the progress bar is stuck,

I can't turn it off, and when i connect it to itunes, it doesn't display

Try putting the iPad in restore mode and see if iTunes recognizes it. The steps are below:
Turn your iPad off.
Hold down the Home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding the Home button until you see a screen telling you to connect to iTunes.
iTunes should show you a popup saying that there is an iPad that is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored before you can use it. Click OK.
Click on Restore iPad

"Waiting for IPad" message & seems stuck during update.

Hi. I am in the process of updating my IPad from software version 3.2.2 to the current version. My computer took over an hour to download the update and now has been stuck for hours saying it's "waiting for IPad" and that ITunes is updating the software. The IPad has the Apple icon and a download bar which has not progressed at all. I am concerned the upgrade has got stuck and I don't know what to do next. Any ideas of what to do will be gratefully appreciated please.

Hi. Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried it but it hasn't worked. It realises it's in recovery mode but when I go to restore it, it goes back to the original problem.

I put my iPad into DFU mode without thinking much about it. I didn't realize I would lose everything. Is there a way to get everything back the way I used to have it before I tried recovering my iPad?

A couple of days ago my iPad died, so I plugged it in to charge. It went into a rebooting loop, and when I looked up how to fix this, I saw that I can put my iPad into DFU mode to fix certain things like this. I did, not thinking much about it because l had seen both of my parents get new phones and everything was slowly but surely on their phone the way it was on their old phones.
I thought that even though I agreed to the iPad being put back into factory settings, I thought I would be able to get everything back the way it used to be just by logging into iCloud when setting it up. I was wrong. This is a school iPad, so all of my notes are gone. The only things that were backed up were my photos. All the games, social media, etc. that I had downloaded prior were gone. Even my notes.
Is there a way I can get everything back to the way it used to be, or was agreeing to put the iPad back into factory settings the wrong thing to do? Was it a mistake to take it upon myself to fix my iPad in this restarting loop? I would really like to get everything back, especially my school notes.

The only way to get everything back is by restoring a backup. If you didn't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do to recover your lost documents and your notes. If you have a backup restore the backup in order to recover your data. Purchased apps can always be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with, but data can only be recovered from a backup or if you have copies of the documents and notes on a computer.

When syncing to my PC iTunes gets stuck at step 7 of 7 with "waiting for items to copy" - do you know why?

when syncing ipad2 to my PC iTunes gets stuck at step 7 of 7 with "waiting for items to copy" - does anyone you know why? The rest of the sync seems okay

i don't know why it happens. but i know how frustrating it can be. the same thing happened to me. i posted a few inquiries in different apple forums and didn't get any ideas of how to fix it. i did however find a solution on my own.
i found that if i did a "restore my ipad" that it fixed it. i was hesitant at first because i was afraid of loosing valuable information. but much to my relief i didn't loose any thing. other than an hour of my time.
this seemed to fixed my problem of being stuck on "waiting for items to copy". my ipad now syncs both wired and wirelessly without any hang ups. however i would suggest that if you are syncing a large amount of data (movies for example) that you do it wired and not wirelessly. i found that it takes a lot longer to sync movies wirelessly.
good luck
