IPad and ITunes - Pairing record is missing

I have a new IPad and trying to sync it with my current ITunes account on my computer and I keep getting the following message "pairing record is missing". I have searched discussion board and help but there are no answers how to rectify this. Help

Disconnect the iPad and try another USB port on your computer or quit iTunes, reboot your computer, restart your iPad and try again.

IPod won't connect to iTunes - pairing record is missing...

I get this iTunes message when connecting my first iPod, a brand new iPod touch to my mac:
"iTunes could not connect to iPod "iPod" because the pairing record is missing."
What does that mean? (Can this have something to do with other iPods that have been connected to my iTunes earlier?)
I followed the instructions Apple had to offer and reset the iPod etc.

I reinstalled iTunes 7.6 from my admin user. Then the iPod was recognized on this account with empty iTunes. Registered the iPod und updated software to 1.1.3. Restarted back into my regular user. Still same message, except now iPod "ihPod"... Now, where is that pairing record?

Yes, I restarted the machine after reinstalling iTunes 7.6, but that did not help.
Today I reinstalled again, this time from my users acount and that did the trick. I still don't know what or where the pairing record is. But installing iTunes on the spesific users account fixes it, it seems.

ITunes could not connect to the iPad "iPad" because the pairing record is missing.

what does this mean and how do I fix it?

I unplugged the iPad, and realized it was no longer bricked (didn't mention that but the failed 5.0 update bricked it, hence the restore attempt). Once unplugged, it was in setup mode for iOS5.0. I went ahead and humored the process, and it prompted if I wanted to restore once setup. We'll see how it goes, but right now it's going through the "Restoring iPad from backup".

ITunes cannot connect to my iPad because pairing record is missing.

This is a one month old iPad that I just upgraded to ios 5 before I used it. I don't know if the problem is in the upgrade.
When I did the upgrade, the message "iTunes cannot connect to the iPad because the pairing record is missing" came up. I figured I would call AppleCare in the morning. Yesterday I hooked the iPad up to the computer and it paired fine with iTunes (at least it showed in the left column under devices) but did not show up in My Computer as being hooked into a USB port. Now today it says that it can't pair with iTunes. Any ideas of what I do before I make an appointment with the Genius desk? I'm on the west coast and AppleCare hours are not compatible with my schedule. Wish I would have known it wasn't 24/7 before I purchased it.

This helped after all other fixes wouldnt
delete "itunesDB" and "itunesCDB" using this program

On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.'
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

TS3212 iTunes can't connect with iPhone because the pairing record is missing

I have been having a lot of trouble with iTunes on Windows XP. I have had to completely uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, iPod, Apple Mobile Support, Apple Application Support, etc. and reinstall iTunes several times just to get to this point: now when I connect my iPhone using USB, I get the error message:
'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "John L. Mohammed" because the pairing record is missing.'
What is this about? What can I do about it?
It should be noted that the latest attempt to install iTunes does not seem to have installed QuickTime, though it does not complain about missing software.

Try disconnecting your phone from your computer, quit iTunes, connect you phone to your computer again, the re-launch iTunes.

Why am I getting error msg: Pairing Record is Missing?

I have been syncing my iPhone with my Win7 PC for several weeks now, but I am suddenly getting the error message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because the pairing record is missing". What does this mean, and why has it occurred? I've rebooted both my PC and the iPhone several times, with no luck. Just a few hours ago I successfully synced, and nothing's been changed on either device, but now I cannot sync. Thank you.

Do this:
Unplug your iPhone from your computer
Tap on the iTunes app
Scroll down to the bottom
Tap on your AppleID
Sign out
Sign back in
Plug your iPhone back into your computer
Your iPhone should now be recognized by iTunes.
