IPad backup stuck in loop

Every time I try to backup my iPad it gets stuck in a loop - the iPad reboots itself and with apple logo it then disconnects only to do it all over again!
I have deleted the backups and reset sync history but nothing has worked.
iPhone backs up fine.
Help!

Hi,
Disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall on your computer.
Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Now try syncing with iTunes.

  • New ipad (4days) stuck in start, works for about a minute and then shuts down and restarts (loop)

    New Ipad setup and worked fine for 4 days.  5th day it started OK and worked for about a minute. screen did a fade out and it restarted. It is stuck in this loop. I have tried reset, and then restore. It is still stuck in loop. After it up graded to newes version of iOS 5, it did a restore.  I need to configure it like new set up, but it is still stuck in the restart loop so I can not complete.  Battery shows 100% ( now down to about 96%).  I am assuming this is a hardware not a software issue.  Any suggestions?

    Hi there,
    If you have already tried restoring your device and have set it up as a new device (not from backup), then I suggest booking a Genius appointment, as yes, this may be a hardware issue.
    If you let me know your name, nearest Apple Store, a date and time, and an email address, I can book an appointment for you, or you can use the link below.

    Sorry about the trouble you've been though, I hope it can be solved shortly.

  • HT201263 new iPad air. set it as new device. asked in itunes to restore from previous older iPad backup. it's not restored\i'm asked to do it agagin and again, in loop

    tried defining the iPad as new - the same problem. started it in recovery mode - the same

    The definition of insanity.....
    Does it ask for the old device by name?  How do you know it isn't restored?   Have you completed setup and checked on the device?
    Are you using the same iTunes account and Apple ID?
    On your iTunes account, Open preferences, go to devices tab
    Look in the box for a backup of your old device.    Is there a backup?
    If there is no backup, you have nothing to restore.

    You can eirther I think go on ITunes or if you can get to settings you would just go to iCloud.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • HT1414 My Ipad is stuck in an " infinate loop" It goes from the" loading"( white apple on screen) to openning screen. I can slide but can't enter pass code. I let it drain the battery, no good. I have held the buttons, no good, can't enter the pass code

    My Ipad is stuck in an "infinate loop" it goes from the "loading" (white apple) to the openning screen. I can slide to the passcode entery screen but it will not take the passcode. ( when I type it it does not recognize on the screen)

    I suggest try getting it back to your stock iOS and forget about jailbreaking.

  • IPad Mini stuck after iOS 8.0.2 update: How do I recover my data?

    I purchased an iPad Mini with Retina display just before leaving on vacation 2 weeks ago and used it to take 100's of pictures.
    While waiting for my return flight home I decided to apply the iOS 8.0.2 update. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! Now, my iPad is stuck in Recovery Mode and won't boot up. I tried different utilities (Mac FoneLab, RescuePhone, iPad Data Recovery, iFoneBox, ReiBoot), but none of them worked.  
    What can I do to recover my pictures? I have no backups.
    Note: I set a simple passcode on my iPad. So, I think my data is encrypted (but I'm not sure).
    Thank you in advance

  • Ipad gets stuck in "backing up" during sync.  How do i get sync to work?

    I updated my version of Itunes.  I plugged in my Ipad to sync and it also needed an update to its software.  It extracted the software and then moves to "backing up", but gets stuck for hours w/ only appx. 5% of back up complete.  I have cancelled sync and tr-tried this several times and the result is the same.  I deleted the old back ups.  Nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?  Itunes is version 10.4.0.80.  Version on Ipad shows 4.3.3
    thank you

    This happens to me often.  I am unable to pin down what exactly causes it but I have discovered how to get it to sync. I delete the iPad backup from within iTunes and then hard reset it (by holding the top button and home button until the screen turns off) and then I force quit iTunes. I then restart iTunes and plug in the still-turned-off iPad allowing the connection with iTunes to boot up the iPad.  From here, the sync will almost always work, albiet after a long backup process.  This is normal, I believe, because iTunes needs to rebuild the iPad backup from scratch. By the way, I'm assuming you're on Mac OS X.  I have no idea if this would work in Windows.

  • Ipad is stuck saying restoring in albums.

    ipad is stuck saying restoring in albums. pictures are showing up in photos but not in albums tab. I unchecked icloud both on the ipad and through computer. I even deleted icloud account off of ipad and still restoring will not go away. I tryed resynching to itunes with backup to computer checked. I tryed restarting ipad and restarting wifi. I just want to delete all photos and stop it from restoring.

    Try rebooting:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons.  Your iPad should restart and you won't lose any data or settings.

    Is this the problem:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
