ITunes asks me to reconnect the iPad all the time
When I connect my iPad to the computer iTunes says that it can find a iPad but cant identify it and that I should reconnect it. Done that a several times and it doesnt work. Anyone got a idea?
Have you tried rebooting both your computer and the iPad?

The itunes software repeats its request for computer authorization despite trying the steps mentioned in the
help article: authorizing from admin account, checking for updates, deleting sc folder, what else can be done?Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you also worked through the instructions from the following document?

Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete the process because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. When l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Please help! How do I restore?
Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything. I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine. I'm at my wits end. Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on? Thanks so much!

I'm totally frustrated by iTunes and don't know how to solve my problem. Like a lot of people on here I'm not able to sync or back up my iPad2 with my iTunes (version 10.4.1.10). I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. My iTunes worked just fine until the 10.4.xx updates came out and since June I've not been able to back up or sync the iPad2.
When I connect and try to sync I get the error message, “iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.”
I've deleted all the old backups so there are none on my system. I've deleted iTunes and re-installed the 64bit version several times but it has not made any difference. I've read and followed several suggestions on these boards about how to remove and reinstall everything but none have worked yet. I'm stumped here.I had the exact same thing with my shuffle - same error message saying that it was corrupt so I restored it (wiping everything in the process) and the same message came up as soon as it reloaded. Thank god I didn't try it with my iPod or iPhone first. So many issues with this new version of iTunes!!!!!!!!

My ipad keeps asking me for my apple id all the time!
My ipad always has this message saying my apple id then type in the password all the time randomly and it always says it, even when I'm actually logged in to this account, and when I go on face time and iMessage and I try to log in, it always comes up with that type in the password message when I already have! It's quite complicated but I have looked and it said if my apps are waiting which they aren't so it can't be that! Please help me so I can face time and iMessage again!
HI, I did sign out in apple ID. Still no luck keeps asking me for the wrong account details. I cannot even download any apps. Despite me having an account that I cannot use. Because it keeps going back to my girlfriends details, which I no longer wnat to use on my phone.
Would apprectiate any advice.

how to transfer file from ipod touch to i tunes. i have files in my ipod , ut itunes is new so its telling if u sync the ipod all the files will be replaced but no files in the itunes.. so kindly help me how to transfer the files from i pod to itunes......
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I rented a movie in iTunes and connected my iPad to transfer the movie to the iPad. The rental section will not pop-up and I have confirmed the movie is not an HD movie. Any suggestions on what to do next?
I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

I am a teacher that uses the iPad in the classroom. I have an itunes account setup for my classroom without a credit card listed. Is there anyway for me to purchase apps to use in the classroom with a Purchase Order?
(Being sarcastic - its because only the US is big or important enough to warrant volume licensing....)
At this time, until Apple decides to release volume licensing structures outside of the US the only solution would be to use your purchase orders with a company that sells the iTunes Vouchers and redeem those.
However - even then its hard to stay on the right side of the EULA when the terms are all couched in reference to "Personal Use"
I have spoken to some developers in the past about educational discounts, or even support for proxies, and wasn't really impressed with their answers. But hey - even Adobe has trouble with proxies and consistent approaches - we can't expect independent developers to be able to match the same capabilities... -
When i allowed itunes to be my default, it chanced all the icons on my computer to the itunes symbol, how do I undo this?
When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help
Hi
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps. -
When an iPad is connected to the MacBook and the option in iTunes says it will make a full back of the iPad to the computer does that mean ALL the files associated with ALL apps on the iPad? If so where is the backup located on the computer?
Yes. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946

Cannot download an issue of a subscribed magazine on news stand. The download has paused and cannot midway and every time I click on resume it asks to shut and restart the app. Done that several times. Even restarted the iPad but the problem continues.
Do a search with Spotlight for ".plist" (without the quotes). In that list (should be very long) there should be a file named com.apple.itunes.plist. Delete that file by dragging it from the Spotlight list to the Trash. Don't worry if you drag the wrong file and delete it, as these are preference files that recreate themselves when you launch an application.

Itunes could not copy music to the ipad because the file could not be converted
iMac Intel Core i3, iPad 2 iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3
I am trying to get an album I purchased from iTunes copied to music on my iPad. I get the message, "iTunes could not copy ... music to the iPad because the file could not be converted." This happens on only two tracts from the album (Mendelsshon: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra).
I have tried deleting the album from iTunes and downloading it again from iCloud. I have erased it from my iPad, too. No matter what I do the same two tracts keep having problems.
Any answers. All help would be appreciated.
JudyThis is strange. Perhaps the iTunes Store version of the track is somehow corrupted? That happened once to me, and I submitted a report, and a few weeks later there was a new iTunes Store version that worked ok.
In the meantime, you could try converting it within iTunes to a different format. Use the menu command "Advanced >> Create xxxx version," where "xxxx" is whatever you've set in preferences as your "Import settings." It needs to be different from 256k AAC, which is what you have already from the store.
If iTunes doesn't choke on the conversion, chances are your iPad will accept it.
