IPad disconnects from iMac during backup

I am trying to update my iPad to iOS 8 from iOS 7 and I am attempting to back it up first on my iMac. I keep getting the message in iTunes (on my iMac) that the iPad has disconnected. I have tried several USB ports, both on a hub which I usually do it from, and then from a USB port on the back of the iMac. I have rebooted both (I have been trying to do this since Saturday). The iPad is not quite 2 years old and is the larger, retinue screen model and, I think, the first model to offer a lightning connection. My iMac is a 2008 24 inch model. I have had no problem in the past doing this and my last good backup from the iPad is dated 09/07/2014. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ted

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

HT1320 Ipod 4th gen was accidentally disconnected from laptop during update process. Now permanent screen pic is of power cord w/ an arrow pointing up to itunes. Holding the ctr & power buttons together has no effect for reset.

Ipod touch 4th gen was accidentally disconnected from laptop during update process. Now permanent screen pic is of the power cord w/ an arrow pointing up to itunes symbol. Holding the ctr & power buttons together for 6-10 sec causes apple pic to briefly appear and power cord/itunes pic reappears. Powering off and on has same effect. Attempting to reset.

It sounds like the iPod touch is in Recovery Mode, Try to restore it from iTunes again.
If you run into an error when restoring the iPhone again, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages

How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing. It seems only the Apps were restored and settings. Anyone else had this problem?

Oh and the bizarre thing was that when I opened iBooks for the first time after the restore it showed all the books in the open collection and then they vanished in front of my eyes!

IPhone 4 disconnected from PC during installation

Hello,
I was updating my iPhone to the latest hardware update and it disconnected from my PC during the process, now it displays the iTunes logo and a USB cable on the screen. It will not turn on or be recognised by iTunes or my PC at all, I have tried reinstalling iTunes, rebooting my computer twice and nothing is working. I do not even get the message on iTunes saying that my iPhone 4 is in recovery mode. I will greatly appreciate any help and hope this is fixed as soon as possible .
Thanks.

Was the home button working before the failed install? If so look at this article and see if it helps. If the home button was broken before all this happened, then I'm not sure what to suggest.

IPad disconnecting from home and public wifi

My iPad when being used at home or using a free/public wifi will disconnect during use. Anyone know what can help, I'm getting charged data usage because I don't catch that it keeps getting disconnected.

You can turn off your cellular connection in settings.
As far as wifi is concerned, might need to try some things.
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

What should I do if my iPad disconnects from my wifi while updating the software?

I decided to update my iPad to 7.1.2 early in the morning. While updating, my wifi router decided to disconnect, as a result, my iPad had to disconnect as well! Now my iPad is just frozen and load anymore!
Someone help ASAP!!!
MY iPad 2 was updating from iOS 7.1.1 to IOS 7.1.2.

Try a Reset in the first instance. With iPad switched on hold down both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears. You may also find the following useful: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
