Iphone will not stay connected "invalid response received from the device."

I have an older iPhone (8gb) and for some reason whenever I plug it into the usb port on my computer it will not stay connected whatsoever. Itunes freaks out, it'll come up for a little bit and then just as soon as it appeared, 'Josh's iPhone' disappears. When I say "won't stay connected" I mean you'll hear the "new usb device" sound over and over again continuously and the iPhone goes crazy too. Like it's connected, disconnecting, connecting, disconnecting, etc.. The error I get during all this madness is "itunes could not connect iPhone because it received an invalid response from the device."
I've used this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1286 ) link to no avail (yet.) I am about to restart my computer right now. If it works after that I'll just simply delete this post. But anyway it's in a usb 2.0, it's plugged directly into the computer, etc etc
Also I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I put ringtones on the phone as well, I tried adding about 5 or 6 of them through itunes and it only uploaded two of them, except one of those two appears FOUR TIMES.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

Okay, after the updates I am still having the same problem. I'll try explaining it as detailed as possible, hoping somebody has an answer because this is pretty weird to me.
-I have 5 files, Ringtone1.m4r, Ringtone2.m4r, Ringtone3.m4r, Ringtone4.m4r and Ringtone5.m4r.
-I add them to the "ringtones" section under "Devices"
-ON ITUNES they show up perfectly fine. In order, and if I play them through itunes, all the ringtones are correct, just how they should be.
-I eject iPhone, go to settings > sounds > ringtone, and under custom, what I see is:
Ringtone1
Ringtone1
Ringtone1
Ringtone1
Ringtone1
Why on Earth could this be?

Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds.

Will not stay connected to my home wi-fi

My iPhone will not stay connected to my Airport Express. My iMac and PB have no problem. Where I live I do not get any other wi-fi signals.
In the morning my phone connects...I check my mail and check a few web sites. No problem for about 5 minutes or so then I loose the connection and it switches to AT&T's Edge service. The phone will re-connect when I go to setting>wi-fi But it only stays connected for 30 seconds or so. It will say "unable to connect" and I do renew the lease.
This has been happening for about 3 weeks now.

Have you tried deleting the saved wireless network settings for this network from your iPhone followed by reconnecting to the network?
If not, on your iPhone go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Select the right facing arrow in a blue circle icon to the right of the name of the network.
At the top, select Forget this Network.
This will delete the network and network settings from your iPhone.
Follow this by selecting and reconnecting to the network.

Itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device

Hello
I just installed the maximus v extreme motherboard with a ocz vertex 4 ssd with windows 7 x64. Installation was fine and installing drivers went without a hitch. Re-installing the software i use went fine as well.
However, when i went to use iTunes( v10.7) to sync my ipad i got an error message saying:
"Itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device"
I then connected my ipod nano to see if it will cause the same error, but it worked fine. So i tried an iphone and the same error I got for my ipad came up.
I tried reinstalling the usb drivers, but the same error came up. I also updated BIOS to the latest version, but the error still came up. I also reinstalled itunes numerous times and still got the error. I reinstalled and updated all drivers as well. Again this did not fix the issue. I also tried to run itunes in vista compatability and xp compatability mode. Again this did not fix the issue.
I have also followed all the steps apple recommends to do on their website with regards to this issue, again it did not fix the issue.
It is a real pain as everything else works like a dream! Is there anything i can do to get itunes to work properly on my pc?
Thank you for your help!

I fixed this problem. Believe the problem is iOS 7 incompatibility with older iTunes Versions on older MacOS systems or platforms.
My iPad 2 would no longer sync with my old PowerPC Mac mini running MacOS. My iPhone 3GS synced fine. IPad2 updated to iOS 7 which doesn't run on my iPhone 3GS. Error message for iPad sync problem was "invalid response received from iPad" out of iTunes. I then applied update iOS 7.1.2 to iPad and error message changed to indicate this version of iTunes not supported, use 11.1.
iPad 2 used to sync prior to iOS 7 installation.
Research on Apple web site shows iOS 7 on iPhones and iPads does not support older MacOS and iTunes versions.
Upgraded with new Mac mini and iTunes 11.1 and MacOS 10.9.2. (put this off as long as I could. )
all good now.

Error message "itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device".

Hi, I am having problems with itunes and my ipad........
I can use my ipad on my laptop but it will not connect to my main PC, I get the error message:
"itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device"
I have done all the Apple support ideas including re-installing itunes twice but no joy.
It used to work a week or so ago and no, I can't think of anything I have done which would have stopped it.
I have run msconfig and disabled everything but still no connection.
Anyone got any ideas?????

IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it. As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

The steps to try would be to:
1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work. It is already unlocked. Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.

I can access the contents of the device via the connection leads using 'My Computer' but not through Itunes as the message always appears!! Using WinVista Homebasic. Is this a known fault with the Ipod4 and VISTA? It works okay on a laptop, however, I would like an expert to take me through the steps to sort out my home desktop computer? Please help?

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.

does this only happen at your home network or with multiple networks?

Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.

When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.

By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

Ipod touch will not stay connected to network after trying to use scrabble

I had a new ipod touch and purchased the scrabble app from EA games. I could not log into facebook to load my games onto the app on my touch. The ipod would send me to my home page and disconnect me from the internet. Eventually my ipod would not connect to the network at all. I called Apple and they determined that the ipod was faulty and sent me a new one. Upon receiving the new ipod I downloaded and tried to use Scrabble again not thinking that the problem was the Scrabble app from the get go. Now again my ipod will not stay connected to the network. I have deleted the Scrabble app and reset my network settings and still nothing. It will occasionally connect but I cannot do anything with the ipod. However, it will work when plugged into my computer. I have contacted EA Games with the problem and they have "escalated my issue to their expert team", but I have yet to hear anything back from them. Anyone else having similar issues and know how to resolve this?

My Macbook will not stay connected to the internet, while my Dell computer works fine. Why? What can I do?

My sister and I both have Macbook Pros that will not stay connected to our internet (wifi). Our dell computers and HP computers in the household work great- but both of the Macs do not stay connected, and often say "you are not connected to the internet". I have saved our wifi name to the computer so it is registered as our home network- but it still will not work fast or stay connected for long periods of time. Is there a setting I need to change, or anything I can do? Very disappointed with how the Mac works with our wifi.

Mac's will have trouble connecting to WEP Encrpyted and/or "hidden" / "invisible " networks.
OpenWEP (insecure) or WPA2(AES) is the only secure standard.
..WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
Also make sure the date and time are current and updating to Apple's servers for your location in System Preferneces > Date and Time. Then reboot and reconnect.
If your still having trouble after this, take both machines back to the store for a free evaluation.
