IPad won't recognize iTunes

I restored all settings on my iPad.  I'm at the point where the iPad says to connect to iTunes.  When I hook up, iTunes sees my iPad and says it's syncing, then finishes.  But the iPad does nothing but say "connect to iTunes."  It won't recognize the connection to iTunes at all. 
I've tried rebooting my laptop, rebooting my iPad multiple times.  I have the latest version of iTunes and my iPad is fully charged.  This is a first gen iPad.
Thanks for any suggestions.

This just happened to me. Did you get any answers?

  • My iPad won't open itunes. I have software update iOS 7.1.1 trying to download for days. Is this the problem or something else?

    My iPad  won't open itunes. Wifi ok safari working. Software update trying to download for days 7.1.1. Is this the problem? How to fix?

    If Safari is working otherwise and you can log onto other websites, try clearing Safari and reset your iPad. That might help with the Twitter app as well.
    Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

    My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

    Is the 30-pin connector fully seated in the side of the ipad?

    If you are playing music from the computer to your iPad using Home Sharing your computer must be on.

  • IDVD won't recognize itunes

    After the latest update, my iDVD will not recognize itunes and let me add my music. It says to open itunes 6 or later, and it is open, but won't recognize it.

    Hello Karen,
    Do other programs recognize iTunes?
    Try checking in iPhoto, iMovie, or iWeb.
    Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2875
    If none of the programs can see your iTunes you may have a an issue with your iTunes Library itself.
    Do a test:
    1.) Drag a song out of iTunes to the desktop
    2.) Quit iTunes by going to iTunes > Quit iTunes
    3.) Hold down the option key on your keyboard and launch iTunes
    4.) When prompted click on "Create Library" and save
    -- This creates a new blank library
    5.) Drag the song you took out in step 1 back to iTunes to add it
    6.) Launch iDVD and see if it shows up
    -- If the song shows up you have a damaged iTunes library. Use the option key to switch back to your original iTunes library and then follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451 to rebuild your iTunes Library database.
    Hope that helps

  • My Icloud is messed up.  I changed my email on the computer but my phone and ipad won't recognize it and won't take any of my old passwords What do i do?

    ?  I changed my email and my apple id to that email on my computer- now my Iphone and my Ipad will not recognize it nor will they function using the old email and any password? 

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    There is no option to enter the password on the computer.
    If the screen will not rotate, ensure that Portrait Lock is not enabled.

  • My iPad won't download iTunes content

    What are trying to do ? In order to use FaceTime on the iPad (you can't download it) then you need to be connected to a wifi network, it won't work over 3G . If you having problems with wifi then there is some troubleshooting help on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

  • ITunes on XP PC won't recognize iTunes Library from Macbook or PC Laptop

    I have 3 computers on my network. The main PC is a desktop running XP, and I have 2 laptops; a Gateway PC running Vista and a 15" Macbook Pro running OS X. With all 3 machines powered on and iTunes open in all of them, the desktop PC no longer recognizes the iTunes Libraries from either laptop, but each laptop recognizes each other as well as the desktop. Any suggestions as to what I've done? This is a new problem as they all three used to recognize each other.

    Hello Jenn
    Check out the article below to go through a recreate your iTunes library. You can do it one of two different ways. One is just drag the media on top of iTunes and the import process will go through. The second is if the structure is the same, you could just copy the iTunes folder to the Music folder of your computer and it should open up like before. The article below will assist with those process in more detail.

  • Ipod Nano 4th or 5th generation won't recognize Itunes and shows loading constantly when I am on Nike plus

    My Ipod Nano all of a sudden won't show up on my Imac computer nor will it show up in Itunes.  I use it for running and I use the Nike + software, at the same time the recognition problem occurred when I click on the Nike + on my Ipod Nano it shows the circle and says "Loading".
    Also when I plug it in to the computer it says Connected do not unplug unless you eject, however there is no icon on my Imac to eject.
    Even when I reboot the Ipod Nano, the same thing happens...the Nike + just says loading and it doesn't get recognized by my Imac.
    Help what do I do????? I have tried rebooting several times, as well as using another mac and no luck. I even sent an email to Apple but so far no answer.  Any clue how to fix this?
    I think it has something to do with the Nike+ application, but don't know what to do.
    Thanks!

  • IPad won't sync: iTunes could not backup the iPad because a session-

    I can no longer sync an iPad with iTunes. Each time I try, I get the following error dialog from iTunes:
    iTunes could not back up the iPad "Name of iPad" because a session could not be started with the iPad.
    I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) on Mac OS X 10.6.5 Build 10H574, iPad WiFi + 3G running iOS 4.2.1 (8C148). iPad sync settings: Manually manage music and videos, address book/iCal/email/bookmarks all done via MobileMe, Sync Apps yes, Sync Music no, Sync Movies no, Sync TV Shows no, Sync Podcasts no, Sync iTunes U no, Sync Books no, Sync photos from iPhoto no.
    I'm looking for a fix that will respect the app sync settings and not force all the unchecked apps from my computer back to the iPad. Suggestions appreciated!

    So typically I don't reply, or post comments on forums but seeing as how the 4.3 update has screwed up syncing with the iPad, I thought i'd share what I just went through for the last 4.5 hrs!!!
    So finally did the update on 5/24/11...everything was great, until I tried to add movies to my iPad... had the same error about not backing up the iPad beacause a session...so I went and deleted the photo cache....did nothing.
    Then I found another post stating to try and  "close" any apps running in the background (double clicking on the home button and pressing the minus) that apparently worked for some....NOT ME
    SO THEN, I saw another post about turning the iPad off and the back on...guess what happened when I did that?!?!?! Ohh it got STUCK in the little thinking mode..you know after you swipe to power off...the little circle icon...stayed like that for 30 min...so I found another post saying that I needed to restore my iPad...umm lil prob COULDN'T CONNECT W IT LIKE THAT!!! So then i decided to hard reboot it (hold down the home button and the lock button on top) that at least stopped the thinking thing and brought my iPad back up
    So I tried to sync again...NOW i was getting the error message of this iPad is already synced to another iTunes library...only given option of cancel or erase and sync?!?!? ***?? NO IT ISN'T LAST BACK UP WAS LAST WEEK AFTER I DID THE STUPID 4.3 UPDATE!!!!
    FINALLY-I unchecked syncing movies...and synced my iPad...finally worked with no errors....double checked the backupdate(edit>iTunes preferences>devices and had today!!! So i thought well whatever it was backed up today if it erases and syncs all the info will be the same...will prob take an hour to re-sync all my apps, music, and movies...but at least it will be done.
    AND VIOLA!!! IT WORKED...AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT DID ERASE BC WATCHING THE STATUS BAR IN ITUNES IT ONLY SHOWED THAT IT ADDED MY MOVIES!!!
    I really hope this posts helps some people!!! AND APPLE IF YOU SEE THIS....FIX THE 4.3 UPDATE FOR THE IPAD!!!!!!!!!

  • IPad doesn't recognize iTune password

    The issue occur again when I tried to update my iPad with iOS 8. I thought upgrading bu connection to laptop would solve this but after completed it seems to get worst now cause I couldn't change my password or restore my device via iTune anymore. I hope this is just a temparary hick-up of apple and there is a solutions out there. Please guide me through this. Thank you!

    I'm not that I understand what you are saying. What does the iTunes password mean or have to do with this problem anyway? If you are saying that the iPad will not accept your Apple ID password and you cannot activate it because of that issue, try resetting the password.
