IPad mini Retina keeps disconnecting and reconnecting from Macbook Pro USB 3.0

Good evening everyone,
I know this title seems similar to existing questions around the internet, but they were either out of date or didn't lead to an answer.
The two devices in question are an iPad Mini Retina and a Macbook Pro late 2013. They are both up-to-date in software terms with iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3.
I kind of ruled out the cable as the culprit because the connection to my iPhone is flawless which makes me think the USB ports aren't part of the problem either (Problem occurs on both Ports). Connecting the iPad to a power socket works fine as well.
As the title states it (re-)connects and disconnects in intervals of approx. 0.5 seconds which is followed by a "dong", the charging symbol on the iPad and a message in iTunes which either states "Device isn't connected" or "Device wasn't found". I tried to check the box in iTunes "Prevent devices from automatically syncing[...]" but nothing changed.
This problem does not occur at all times but I have not been able to get a hold of when it does work.
I also tried a diagnose on my Macbook but no errors have been found and the iTunes Version is up to date as well.
This is about all the input I got and really do hope to get some helping answers.
Looking forwards for and appreciating your answers
Marius

It does seem to be a cable issue although the iPhone got no problems.. Mysterious.
Thank you

  • IPad keeps connecting and reconnecting on Macbook Pro using USB.

    For the past month or so my iPad hasn't been able to connect to my 2013 Macbook Pro. I've tried solutions such as reinstalling iTunes and updating software but nothing has worked. I can connect to my PC fine but when I try to connect to the Macbook, it keeps quickly connecting and reconnecting. When I connect to the Macbook it gives me the message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected.". This seems to be a problem with the Macbook instead of the iPad. I haven't enabled it to connect over Wifi also.
    I've tried looking up solutions for people who have had similar problems but I haven't yet found a solution that worked for me. Any help is much appreciated.

  • Keeps disconnect and reconnect

    I have a retina Macbook Pro 13"(latest), iPad(3rd genernation), iPhone 5 and iPod shuffle(latest) and I am sure all their systems as well as iTunes on my Macbook Pro are latest version. The thing is that whenever I connect my iPad and iPod shuffle and try to sync using iTunes it just keeps disconnect and reconnect. At frist I thought there might be some problem with my USB port, so I tried both of my USB ports and it keeps behave like that. And the wired thing is, it did not happend to my iPhone 5 so far. So it is most likely that there are problems with the iTunes.
    So I just want to ask is there anyone encounter the same problem and if you know how to fix this problem plsssssss tell me. Thx.

    I think these problems were hopefully solved by recent update of Itunes.

  • Ipad mini retina dislplay wifi and cellular.

    i want to buy an ipad mini retina display wifi and cellular in malaysia. will it work with indian carriers?
    can someone please respond soon?
    thanks

    As long as the indian carriers support the correct frequencies it should.  Note, that warranty and service will not be valid outside of the country of purchase, so you would need to return to Malaysia to get it serviced.
    Other than that most iPads are unlocked for use with sim cards from any compatible GSM carrier. 
    Note, that if the carrier you wish to use it on is CDMA, they will likely not activate a device that was not registered to them originally during manufacturing.
    I suggest contacting the carrier you wish to use, to make sure they can give you a sim card with service for the iPad.

  • Controller keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

    Hi thereI have recently had a problem with my Dualshock 4 controller connecting to my PS4. I took ps4 to my dads while i was staying there and everything was fine. Since i returned home i set up ps4 as normal but my controller keeps disconnecting and reconnecting itself. It is not a charge issue as it has been charging for 2 hours now. I am just sitting on the home screen now and controller is plugged in by usb cable and just keeps connecting and reconnecting but remains on charge when it disconnects.

  • Wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

    My Wireless Keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and typing by it self!! any ideas?

    Hi,
    Yes believe it or not my problem was caused by the keyboard being too close to the iMac display, the bluetooth was infering with the other radio signals coming from the antenna, it needs to be at least 1ft away from the display (30cm) to prevent this (this won't help those of you with small computer tables/desks)
    Hope this works for you....

  • Internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

    Hello
    I have Verizon fios, and my internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting immediately, over a 10 minute period, many times a day.
     I am not wireless. Im directly connected to my router.  It seems to happen at the same time each day, lately its been getting worse, it will happen about 3-4 times a day .  It will start disconnecting, then reconnect, every minute or so, for about 10 minutes.
    Ive contacted verizon over the phone, they kept saying to check my router and wire (which I did, and everything seems to fine), after a while on the phone with them, they just hung up on me.  I checked my router,wire,computer, and everything is fine there.
    Can anyone help me? This is beginning to be a major issue.
    Please help
    A.W.

    I was having this exact symptom for weeks and it was driving me crazy! However, I did find the problem and a solution and maybe it will benefit others as well.
    Problem: I had added another device that had a static IP that conflicted with my router's IP.
    Solution: In my case, I changed the other devices static IP, but you could also set the other device to use DHCP (best) or change the Verizon device IP.
    This can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common is when you add another router (like a wireless router). Another common cause is that another device on your LAN is running a DHCP server, and since the Verizon router is expecting to be the sole DHCP server they can server the same IP #s out. I've had many cases where a Windows machine just magically started serving DHPC requests, and all versions of Windows I've tested for some reason have the DHCP server running by default! 
    Hope this helps!

    How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

    I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2.  I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty.  I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad.  Any suggestions?

  • Why does wifi on my iPod touch keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

    I'm near a good router with three bars of wifi, yet it keeps disconnecting then reconnecting. This may be an iOS 5.1 issue.

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    - You could also have an interference problem from another device like micrwave or other device.

  • IPad Mini Retina keeps restarting

    I have a brand new iPad Mini Retina and every so often (at least once a day) I can be in any app and when I select an action the screen reverts to the white start up screen with the black apple logo.
    Is anyone else having problems with the iPad restarting like this?
    What can I do to fix it?

    Mac Rumors about the release of the new iOS 7.1 Beta 4:
    "We are told there are various fixes in this latest version, including fixing keyboard issues, problems with the contacts app, more changes to the phone UI, and other changes. We have heard from sources that with iOS 7.1, Apple is working very hard to address some large memory bugs and other issues in iOS 7 that have caused crashes and restarts for a lot of people. Additionally, iOS 7.1 should help unify iOS 7 better graphically, with various user interface updates across the entire system and in apps for a more cohesive feel."
    There's hope buddies!
