Ipad 2 stuck on preparing to update and now not recognised in itunes

Firstly my ipad had some songs with lighter colour, if i played that song i would skip to next song. After that when i add songs, video, pdf to my ipad it would stuck on preparing to update. Though i could add files in the app's folder. Now itunes is not recognising the ipad when connected with usb, but shows up in itunes as wireless sync. It shows up in windows explorer. Same thing with my ipod shuffle 4. When i connect ipod shuffle, itunes says syncing ipod, ipod sync compeleted but i cant see the ipod under devices. I have compeletely reinstalled itunes as instructed in the apple's support page and restarted my laptop ( win x64).
I have checked the photo sync and deleted the videos as mentioned in the thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2769353?start=0&tstart=0
But no luck, please help me, i would try restoring my ipad but i don't want to lose the allofwiki dump file.
Thanks

My iPad and iPhone are doing the same thing.  Must be the traffic.

  • When trying to manually add new songs to ipod, itunes gets stuck on preparing to update and does not transfer songs.

    While adding new songs to ipod touch, all was fine.
    Then suddenly, everytime I tried to add new songs, Itunes got stuck on "preparing to update."
    Now I can add no songs at all.

    Somebody on twitter mentioned temporarily turning off their passcode before syncing and that seemed to help.

    I'm not sure iCloud is the best community to post that question in, to be honest I have the feeling it's likely something best asked from any M$ discussion groups that there might be.

  • Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

    My Windows XP software recently had an automatic update and now when I open iTunes, I receive the message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes." 
    I have not used iTunes for several weeks so the issue may not be related to the last Windows XP automatic upgrade.  I have never had problems with iTunes in the past.  Is this a real message or perhaps a virus?
    Before I reinstall iTunes, any thoughts?

    It's a real message.
    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

    That could be a clear sign of a damaged hard disk.  Can you try and force the iPod into Disk Mode and then connect it to iTunes so you can attempt a restore or even a low level reformat of the iPod's HD/file system.

  • Ipad 2 stuck at preparing to update

    I connect my iPad 2 (iOS7) to the most recent version of iTunes (11.5) ... and when I try to add songs or video, it gets stuck at PREPARING TO UPDATE.
    Any ideas? 
    I am using a WINDOWS 7 machine.

    Yes I have this problem too.
    When I drag my music over to my iPhone, iTunes says "Preparing to update" for a few minutes. There is a spinning wheel on my iPhone, but then iTunes just gives up after a few minutes. The spinning wheel on my iPhone disappears, and absolutely nothing has happened; no files have been transfered, no songs have gone from iTunes to my iPhone.
    The only reason I turned iTunes Match off on my iPhone is so that I can quickly add some music to my iPhone to listen to whilst I'm in the shower.
    I sometimes need to add music to it that I just created myself and then go listen to it in the shower, car or whilst talking a walk somewhere with my iPhone.
    i.e. I don't want to to 2 hours before iTunes Match decides it wants to sync up these freshly made mp3's!! Sometimes Match doesn't even work.... or I have to wait a week!!!!
    That's what manually managing songs with iTunes should be for; for when you haven't got an age to wait for Match to decide whether it's going to sync your freshly-added songs or not!!
    So many exclamation points but if ever exclamation points were needed it is when describing iTunes and iTunes Match usability!!
    It totally *****.
    Apple, you should be ashamed of this product.

  • IPOD NANO FAILED DURING UPDATE AND NOW NOT RESPONDING

    HI,

    If I try and redo the update it just hangs. The ipod displays do not disconnect but doesnt do anything. I tunes is no longer recognising the ipod. All the songs from the ipod have been erased (I did not select restore when I initillay tried the update)
    I can see the ipod from my explorer but it will not let me access the device it just hangs.
    Can anyone advise me how to fix this so I can use it again.
    My latop is running Windows XP.

  • Ipod touch and nano not recognised with itunes

    Hi
    I updated my itunes yesterday.  I have a new shuffle (4th gen I think) but 4th gen nano and 2nd gen touch.  Itunes recognises my shuffle no problem and I was able to sync ok, but it won't recognise the touch or nano, I tried 2 different usb cables but still won't recognise, is it something to do with older gen models not working with the new itunes??? I have a fairly new computer running off new windows package.  Itunes was recognising all my ipods until I installed the new itunes.  Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks.

    It sounds to me like an issue with your iTunes, try un-installing the software and re-installing it and see what happens then. It seems a little odd that it won't recognise 2 iPods, so I highly doubt it is the iPods' fault.
    If it deosn't work after re-installing, take it to the Apple Store (with your computer, if it is portable) and they should be able to help out

  • Ipod comes up with itunes and cable diagram only and is not recognised on itunes

    Please help my ipod turns on with the apple logo and goes straight to the itunes round symbol with a cable diagram pointing upwards into itunes logo. It comes up on the left of the itunes screen under devices as ipod, but not with my name,etc. It comes up with the message that 'itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes'. It was working fine this morning and then from one moment to the next would not detect our wireless internet connection, so I connected it to my computer, where it said would I like to update some new version on itunes. After this it has gone haywire. Please someone help me before I restore it. Also if I restore it do I lose everything offitunes like my apps etc.

    make sure that you have itunes 10.1.1.12
