IPad 3 needs to be unplugged and re-plugged USB before iTunes will Sync it... Huh?

My iPad 3 needs to be unplugged and re-plugged USB before iTunes will Sync it...
It can be plugged in and online in iTunes, with the home screen showing, and iTunes just hangs when I try to Sync it, unless I unplug and re-plug it USB
Anyone seen this before?

Yes, but I charge my iPad with my iMac, so it's connected most of the time, and to have to unplug/replug it to sync it is nuts.
Why does it hang when I hit "Sync" ? It should never hang. Either I am doing something wrong, or This Is A Bug.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror to an AppleTV.  The devices will connect, but the video monitors show only a blank screen.  The AppleTV's work fine with various other iOS & OSX devices. Ideas?

    I have three AppleTV's where I work.  I have two at home.  I have an iPhone 4S running iOS7.0.2 which mirrors smoothly via AirPlay.  I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and a 2011 iMac, both running Mountain Lion, both of which mirror smoothly through AirPlay.  I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror.  The iPad will connect to the AppleTV, but the TV's and projectors only show a black screen when connected: the iPad screen looks as it should, except that the transitions become jumpy when connected via AirPlay.  This is true on both networks: at home and at work.  Another gentleman using the network where I work has the most recent iPad, also running iOS7.0.2, and he is having the same problem.  I have tried to "Reset All Settings."  I have tried to "Restore."  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Has anyone else experience difficulty mirroring the iPad through AirPlay since the release of iOS7.0.2?

    No problems exists with the router (on either network described above) or the multiple AppleTV's which are able to mirror multiple other OSX & iOS devices seamlessly. The problem is strictly with the iPad and iOS7.

    This is an iOS 7 AirPlay mirroring bug...
    To make matters worse, the iPad automatically drops its mirroring session 45 seconds after it auto-locks.
    3-4 mirroring sessions is all it takes for the iPad mirroring to freeze up.
    After this happens, mirroring to an Apple TV only projects a blank screen.
    Once the mirroring is hung, the only way to fix it is to restart the iPad.
    Apple please fix this iOS 7 issue!

    Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

  • Is there a USB hub that will sync and charge my iPhone

    Looking for a USB hub that will sync and charge my iPad and iPhone ideally with 7 ports.
    Is there one out there as I can't seem to find any?
    Just about to return a D-Link dub-H7 hub as it seems to becausing issues with the USB ports on the iMac. All seems well when i leave a device charging when I go to bed but in the morning none of the iMac ports work until i restart.

    This is the problem with these ports. I bought a powered USB at MicroCenter last winter. It had 7 ports, two were designated for high powered devices and yet I plug in one iPhone to charge and within a few minutes, the hub will disconnect from the computer.
    All I can recommend is searching for POWERED hubs on Amazon and read the reviews. Not sure if there are some that will actually work but trying a few can get expensive.

    = New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
    Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  One person had re-installed their operating system.  It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize.  Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem.  Do this manually, not with Software Update.

  • Can only get XBOX 360 to work by unplugging and then plugging in ethernet cable?

    I have 2 desktop computers, 1 laptop computer and 1 Xbox 360 using this WRT54GS ver 6 router.  The desktops and the xbox are wired and the laptop is wireless.  I replaced my old linksys router which I never had a problem with for this one.  If my desktop computer is turned off and I turn on my XBOX, the router does not recognize the Xbox.  I mean the XBOX is plugged into port 3 and that light does not flash on the router.  Now, if I turn on my computer and then turn on my xbox, it still doesn't work.  If I turn on my computer, turn on my XBOX and then unplug the xbox ethernet cable from the back of the router and then plug it back in, then the router recognizes it and it works great.  I have had 2 chat sessions and I phone session with linksys and they cannot figure it out.  They had me go into my xbox and set a static IP address, gateway and DNS.  Then she had me go into forward a few ports on the router.  I never had to do any of this stuff with the old router by the way.  The last guy I talked to on the phone said I need to figure out a way to turn off "MAC Address cloning" in the xbox.  I checked  and there is no way to do this, so I think he is wrong about this.  Does anyone have ANY ideas as to why this problem is happening? 

    I had the same problem and I just typed my settings in manually on my xbox 360's network settings.(IP, and DNS).

  • My ipad is disabled and i plugged it into itunes and its not working, may i have some assistance?

    May I please have some help? My iPad is disabled, I tried to plug it in but a pop keeps coming on saying: Your iPad cannot connect to iTunes because it is locked with a password. The thing is, I actually already knew it was locked with a passcode cause I cant even get in! I called earlier, got it working, but it disconnected for some reason. What should I do?

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Read the article before you try this.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Apple TV froze. Unplugged and re plugged, and now it is continuously checking for date and time. If I bypass it by holding menu, I only have a settings icon, I lost everything else, what do I do?

    My Apple TV froze while trying to access Netflix. I unplugged the Apple TV from the wall and re plugged it. Now it stays on the loading time and date setting. After 10 minutes, I held menu, and hit restart (as the troubleshoot said). Same problem is still occurring with the continuous "checking for date and time". And if I hold menu to bypass this, I only have my settings and computer icon, all other icons have disappeared. Not quite sure what to do, any comments would surely help.
    Thanks guys, appreciate it.

    Apple TV 1st generation or 2nd?
    I would try plugging in the HDMI from the ATV to a different HDMI port on your TV and even trying the ATV on a different TV altogether...sounds like the HDMI port on your TV might be bad or a bad connection. Keep in mind you'll need to switch the TV input to the new HDMI port
