IPad 3 no longer connects to iMac iTunes.

The first few weeks my iPad was recognised by iTunes (10.6.3) on iMac (OS X 10.6.8) using the USB cable provided.
Now when I connect iPad to iMac via cable the iPad symbol no longer displays in the iTunes.
I can't back-up the iPad nor add music from iTunes library to the iPad.
I did add some anti virus software recently (Avast) and quickly uninstalled it. But that didn't yield a result.
I turned off the Firewall - again, no satisfaction.
Over the past week, I've read all relevant literature from this community.
I guess I can wirelessly connect with the iMac (I haven't tried that yet as I'm not very good at this)
but I would really work out why this problem arrived in the first place.
I love to hear any suggestions to remedy this issue.
All The Best,
Marv

The problem has been resolved.
After exhausting all options (following all the documents & tips on this site and chatting with other Mac users) I called Technical Support / AppleCare (complimentary 90 day phone support) and an American fellow, Tim was simply fantastic.
Put simply; he mentioned the issue was not common and was resolved by uninstalling the iMac's iTunes software and re-installing it (which was easiler done while we were talking).
He said it was some parameter called Mobile something, something (I didn't take notes while working) which was inaccessible to technical laymen like myself needed to be overwritten with the new copy. When the new copy of iTunes opened the iPad was instantly recognised by iTunes on the iMac.
Problem solved - I can now easily Sync & back-up iPad on the desktop, wirelessly or cable-driven. Great stuff.
I can't tell you how wonderful Tim, the Techical Support guy was - patient, knowledgable and affable.
Well done, mate - 10 out of 10.
All The Best,
Marv from Sydney

I also have an iPod Touch. It appears in iTunes but willnot sync... "unknown error 1723"
This is a recent problem. Everything was fine initially, and I don't think that I've done anything to change my setup.

With verson 12.01.26 my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match

After downloading iTunes version 12.01.26 on my PC my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match. My itunes displayed a message at the top that it was connecting to the iTunes Store. After closing my laptop and opening it again after a few hours, there was a message stating that my computer was unable to connect to iTunes because of a problem with my internet connection. My laptop is connecting fine with the internet, yet not through the iTunes program, or at least it seems that way. I'm not positive but feel like the issue may have stemmed when I downloaded the new version, I think maybe I messed up the process somehow by closing my computer or something.

My iPad won't connect to the iTunes store, is anyone else having this problem?

My iPad won't connect to the iTunes store, I've never had any problems before. Also I have the sling box app and it isn't working either. It now says remote streaming is not enabled on this device and I have used sling box in the past with out any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

IPad no longer connects remotely to my iMac

I got Splashetop Remote Desktop for the iPad the other day and it worked great for a few minutes but then it simply stopped working. It would no longer connect to my iMac remotely. But the worst part of it is now none of the remote apps on my iPad are working either. I'm talking about apps like Air Video, Remote HD, Rowmote, and Mobile Mouse. None of these apps will connect to my Mac anymore when they worked perfectly before. Same goes for the Apple Remote App with home sharing turned on. Interestingly, the same apps still all work perfectly on my iPod Touch (minus Splashtop Remote Desktop) which I don't have for the iPod Touch).
Clearly Splashstop Remote did something to the connection between the iMac and the iPad because everything was working before I tried it for the first time.
I've erased Splashetop Remote from the iPad and uninstalled its server application from the iMac. I even did a full reset of the iPad followed by a restore from a few days ago. Still nothing. Wifi on the iPad has been working fine the entire time as I can surf the web, check email, Twitter, etc... So it's just remote access apps tat won't work anymore even though essentially the same apps on my iPod Touch still do work. Firewall is off and I don't use antivirus software.
It might help to add that all the remote apps on the iPad keep timing out. Also, occasionally Rowmote quickly flashes some sort of "GFL Socker Error" message. It flashes so fast it's impossible to read it so the first part may be wrong. I definitely saw the words Socket and Error though. It's really the only thing I have to go on.
I've also repaired permissions on my iMac.
I would really appreciate it if anybody could provide any help. I've already worked on this issue for a few days and so far the developers of Splashtop Remote hace been no help. I don't know if this is an IOS or OSX issue or both?

Ipad no longer connects to internet after using remote app for apple TV

I can use the Remote app on my Ipad to connect to Itunes library through my apple TV but as soon as I do that, I can no longer connect to the internet on my Ipad. The network stays connected on my Ipad but no internet. I have to recycle the router (airport extreme) and power off the Apple TV. Once I do that I can then connect to the internet again. I am using a Mac Pro as my desktop with airport extreme as my router. All software is up to date. Appreciate any thoughts anyone might have. Its a pain to use that litte remote for my Apple TV.

My question: Is it normal for the internet connection to switch from an Apple Network to another network?
No.
You are probably connecting to a neighbor's wireless network. Unplug your base station and see if the network remains.

IPads no longer appear/sync in iTunes 11.0.4

Since iTunes 11.0.4 update (OS X 10.8.4), all the iPads no longer appear as devices in iTunes and thus won't synchronise.
iPod classic & nano still show up when connected and sync. fine.
The iPads no longer show up either via WiFi or USB connection: 2 x iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad mini.
Their backups have also vanished from Prefs -> Devices.
Don't see any logs appear when they connect via USB.
Tried connecting an iPad to a MacBook Pro running iTunes 11.0.3 and it showed up fine.

Fixed!
Downgrading to 11.0.3 didn't help, but it meant I could re-upgrade it again.
Downloaded the installer from Apple rather than via App Store and bang - all the iPads are now seen again.
All the iPad backups are now shown again too, including the gen. 2 iPod touch that I've not synced for ages (because all the apps I used to use on it no longer support its version of iOS).
Strange. Will download the full installer from now on.

Ipad no longer connects to wifi at home

My iPad (first generation) no longer connects to my wifi network at home.
I don't have the possibility to "forget this network" in the options from the menu.
The only thing I can do is re-typing the router password, which I know is correct, but still does not work...
Please help me!
Thanks you in advance!
Gabriele

If resetting the router does nothing, reset the iPad. Hold down Home and Sleep buttons together until the Apple logo is displayed, then let go. Again, no data or settings are lost.
