ITunes constantly showing iPad as a connected device

Since updating to the new iTunes, it is always indicating that my iPad is connected, and sometimes even "syncing", when that is not the case. I don't have this problem with my iPod. Is there any way to fix this?

If it is connected by wifi and has sync by wifi enabled it will appear in itunes.
To remove either use the arrow to eject the iPad or turn off wifi sync in the device options

Also when I am trying to connect ipad to my windows PC, it shows, your software is up to date and later starts restoring while updating again. Then automatically it stops to update halfway and I have to repeat the process again and again, still in vain.

Try a power cycled of the iPad.

IOS 8.0.2 iPad/iPhone/Bluetooth- all show up as bluetooth connected devices

since the update to 8.0.2, all of my bluetooth enabled devices like iPhones, iPads and MacBooks now show up in the "My Devices" window of the Bluetooth control panel on my iPhones and iPads. When I click on the info button, the "Forget this Device" is greyed out. When I try to connect to any of these devices, the connection times out, even though the other device is sitting right next to the device I'm trying to connect from.
In the list above, the only legitimate BT device is called SB330, and its "forget this device" is active. The rest look like this:
What I have tried so far and HAS NOT worked:
turning off and on Bluetooth
Turning off Bluetooth, doing a full backup, restoring the device to factory defaults, then resetting all settings, then restoring back to the last backup
Resetting network settings.
What I am looking for is a simple way of removing these items from my bluetooth list, other than reinitializing the device and starting from scratch. Is there a way to "Forget all BT devices"?

Hi Gary J. Lieber,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

Hi all. I have an Ipad which shows iPad is disabled connect to iTunes?

I bought an ipdad in the UK. Brought it to Brazil.
It did work. Now it is displaying iPad is disabled - connect to iTunes.
I did this, but does not communicate with the iPad until I unlock it.
What can I do??

It sounds like you are saying that you cannot unlock the iPad because it will not accept the Passcode or you forgot the Passcode. If that is the case - or - iTunes will not recognize the iPad - try recovery mode.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

IPad Air - The connected device requires too much power.

When connecting my iDJ Live II to my new iPad Air I receive the following message:
Cannot Use Device
Numark iDJ Live II: The connected device requires too much power.
The iPad Air is running iOS 7.0.4, I also have an iPhone 5S, iPad Mini and iPad 2 all running latest iOS 7.0.4 and this dj controller runs on all these models. I know about the 20mA output limit on these other devices but they all still work why not the iPad Air? What has changed?
I am very disappointed with this restriction as the only reason I bought the iPad Air was for the better processing power and 128gb storage to fit all my music on there to use this dj controller with djay 2 and vjay. Now I have spent $900 on something I can not use as intended.
Please any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Try giving your iPad a reset. See if it can clear up the error or if it repeats. Hold down the sleep and home keys until it reboots then try again.
How does this device plug in? Via the lightning connector or the USB part of the camera kit? If it's USB then sometimes a powered USB hub can help with the power issues.
If it's lightning then the issue could be related to something that came with iOS7. Due to so many unauthorized lightning cables, iOS7 activated software that looks for a code broadcast by the chip in the lightning connector. Authorized manufacturers have codes that the software sees, unauthorized ones don't. Usually people using unauthorized cables get a specific message, however it could be possible that this new part of the software is affecting other things connected to the lightning port.
Have you looked on djay's site to see if others are having issues or if they have fixes?

ITunes Match showing different content on different devices

I have recently signed up for itunes match and have connected three devices as follows:
Windows 7 x64 PC running latest itunes 10.5.2.11
Apple ipad version 1 64gig 3G with iOS 5.01
iPhone 3GS 16gig with iOS 5.01
I have matched 4900+ songs from my PC iTunes library with iCloud. I have recently removed all my old music files and re-downloaded the iTunes *.m4a version of every matched song.
I also have uploaded 1000+ songs that were not matched. I have no errors at all... so PC iTunes software appear to be working okay.
My Ipad and iPhone have also been switched over to iTunes Match and I have therefore deleted all 'local' songs on both devices... I then switched on the 'SHOW ALL MUSIC' in the settings of the music app to show the icloud list... but it is different on both my ipad and iphone compared to the PC and compared to each other.
My PC has a total of 5992 music files either matched or uploaded to iCloud
My Ipad shows 5804 music files on icloud
My iPhone has 3632 music files on icloud
Loads of space is confirmed as being available on both devices
I have tried rebooting both ipad and iphone I have switched off/on 'SHOW ALL FILES' in settings to reveal that there are no songs on either the iPad or iPhone so only seeing view of songs on iCloud.
I have turned off/on icloud on both devices and still same file totals.
I have even updated itunes match several times from my PC via itunes store menu.
I have switch on/off itunes Match on my PC... I have even backed up my library deleted all the music both locally and on Icloud and then re-imported and rematched/uploaded all the files again without any errors but both my iPad and iPhone fail to see all files on the icloud.
I have even waited quite some hours to see if they eventually will update but no luck.
I have submitted feedback to apple as a bug report, but if anyone has any suggestions that I can try in the meantime to fix this 'out of sync' issue.
Also on the PC in itunes preferences. I have reset cache and sync history in iTunes but still no joy - it appears that the iphone and ipad are not receiving the current version of my icloud content?

Same problem here. I dont find all songs back on my iphone although i have activated all required items in itunes and on the iphone.
I got a rather big library (16k songs), not everything matched BUT for example i only see Artist starting with "A"... all the other ones are not on my iphone.. very strange.
- Same story under my songs.
- All my playlist on the other hand are shown..
So it would be nice to find out what to do about this...

Itunes for mac locks up after connecting device for sync

iTunes (11.2.2) locks up when I connect a device (iphone/ipad). I force quit the app and restarted to no avail. I have reinstalled the same version of iTunes, but the problem continues. Any ideas?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
