You are in recovery mode.  Follow the directions in this link very carefully.  You may have to try a few times, so be patient:

  • How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto?  I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!

    I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!
    I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto.  However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD. 
    So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info.  That means no syncing....
    I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
    I am puzzled.  I appreciate for your advice and help.
    Thank you!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • Adobe reader (11.3.2) PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!

    i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
    any help or suggestions welcome

    Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone?  Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
    The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem.  Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
    Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem?  During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
    Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad.  For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
    Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
    Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
    Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
    Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
    Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
    Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
    Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
    Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
    We can investigate further based on what you will find.
    Thank you for your help.

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."

    I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is asking passcode to be entered - even after following directions for computers not synced... multiple times, but iTunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."  What do I do now?

    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Plug the iPhone into the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • My iphone 4 will not update to 6.0. I keep getting and itunes error...

    I keep getting the error "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." when I click the update button to update to the ios 6.0 software. I already have the most current version of iTunes installed so I have no clue why I am getting an error that has anything to do with itunes. I've tried restoring my phone multiple times and restarting my computer. I've made sure there is plenty of space open on my hard drive as well. Not really sure what else to do.

  • Differences in "storage used" between iPad and iTunes

    I have an iPad Mini 2 and there a differences between the stated "storage used" between the iPad and iTunes.
    Looking in the general settings "Storage" it states I have used 113GB and available is 413MB.
    Looking on iTunes, when the iPad is connected, it states I have 67.20GB free.
    Which is correct and what causes the problem?
    How is it fixed if it is because the iPad has a fault?
    Many thanks.

    It is now a couple of weeks and noticed the discrepancy occurring again.  I did not want to go through the above process again because it took about 4 hours to get my iPad up, running again and normal.
    Again, there was a difference in memory by about 20GB.
    This time it tried something different.
    1) Went into General settings on iPad and managed memory.  From here I removed all films and TV episodes.  Now Video memory was zero.
    2) Switched off WiFi.  When I opened the Video app, I noticed a pile of films and TV episodes showing, even though they had the cloud icon.  They could even be watched.  I deleted these films/episodes.
    3) Viewed the iPad memory using iTunes on laptop and compared to iPad general settings usage (video memory negligible).  Both numbers pretty much spot on.
    My musings - I can only assume that the iPad does not properly delete films/episodes that I had previously watched.  It is evidently holding on to the video, even though I had deleted them and they were not showing in general settings.  Though it is a hassle, I at least now how to find where the "lost" memory is and how to reclaim it.

    23 GB  of other indicates a corrupt file(s).  A restore should resolve.

  • My ipad and itunes account is registered in the UK - can I download movies on wifi in the US from itunes?

    my ipad and itunes account is registered in the UK - can I download movies on wifi in the US from itunes?

    You can only buy from the UK iTunes Store, and per the Terms of Use for the UK Store, you agree not to attempt to use it from outside of the UK. Apple may take technological steps to prevent such use, though I've never seen any reliable indication that they do so.
