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!
System specs:
asus rampage v extreme motherboard
OCZ vertex 4 SSD
8 Gb DDR3 RAM (1600 mHz)
windows7 x64
Intel i7 3.5Ghz 1155
nvidia GTX295 (x2 running in Sli)

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.

I have an Ipod Touch 4G, Although I have tried two connection leads to the computer, it comes up with the message ' Itunes could not connect to "Dads Ipod" because an invalid response was received from the device'. 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?

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?????

Trying to sync from ipad but keep getting Itunes could not connect to the ipad **** because an invalid responce was recieved from the device"

The problem only started after resetting the Ipad. can download from itunes, but cannot sync, ie put new books in libary

Hi LizzardAir,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there may be a connection issue between your computer and iPad.
The support article iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting has some steps to try:
iTunes cannot connect to the [iPad] because an invalid response received from the device
This error occurs when there are problems communicating through USB. This may be resolved by following the steps for errors 13 or 14.
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
1. Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
2. Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
3. Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
4. Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
5. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
6. Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
7. Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best,
-Jeremy

ITunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE80007F)

Recieved this error while syncing the IPod classic, however, the IPhone was not connected to the computer, was no where near the computer.
In addition, I had earlier in the day the following error message as well: ITunes could not connect to the IPone "Merci's IPone" because an invalid response was received from the device." In this situation, again the IPod classic was syncying music, and the phone was not even in the house.
The day previously, I had the following error as well: ITunes could not connect to the IPone because of unknown error occurred (0XE80002D).
When I called Apple Support, the first person could not find a response or answer to fix or give a reason why this is happening, since he said the last error is normally resulting from when the cable has a connection problem; well the IPhone was never connected to the computer--the IPod Classic was during these incidents. When a senior advisor came on line, he wanted me to reboot my computer, but I was still in the middle of the IPod Sync of music so that could not happen. Which his answer was, well then call back and talk with a apple support person when it completes--my thought was if the first person couldn't figure it out and required a senior advisor, what is going to happen when I call back--I repeat myself and wait and repeat myself again to another senior advisor and then do some archaic steps to discover they don't know what is wrong? I am waiting on a few other problems they haven't figured out yet. I am a new Apple user and have had nothing but problems with Apple IPhone, IPad and guess IPod Classic all which I purchased with high recommendations that Apple is better than windows products and Android products. I am wondering what the **** I got myself into?
Can anyone help me? It is getting frustrating that Apple can not seem to help with any of the situations I seem to be having!
Thanks in advance.

I have had this same issue with my iPhone 4 since iOS 5 was released. None of the updates has fixed it yet. I'm using Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and iTunes 10.5.3 I am not encrypting my backups. I do have my phone set to passcode lock after 1 hour. When I have enabled WiFi sync in iTunes, I get the error message described in this thread at least once every day. In the morning, when I first open iTunes, I will have to click this window sometimes 8 to 10 times to get it to finally dismiss and begin the sync process.
It's apparent that iTunes is hung up whenever this message is present. It's not downloading podcasts during the night, or performing the WiFi sync while my phone is charging in the other room. Nothing works until I sit in front of iTunes and click off the error message. If I am required to do that in order to get the phone to update, I should just plug it in and disable the WiFi sync hassles until/if it ever gets fixed.

I've got a problems with my Iphone 4, I've recently upgraded to the new software (5.1), since then the iTunes doesn't recognize my iphone, as the error comes up:' iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error (ex8000022)

Your iPad is syncd with iTunes on your computer and your iTunes account controls what's in your iPad. Previously it must have been sync'd with another person's iTunes account in which case you need to completely clear it out to make it your own.
Go to Settings > General > Reset (at bottom) > Erase All Content and Settings
Then plug it into your computer and restore it with YOUR iTunes account.
Or if your have an iTunes account already setup under your name with your own apps and media -
Plug it into your computer, open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically and on your iPad page, click Restore
Let it proceed. Then the iPad will no longer be looking for someone else's account.

Itunes could not connect to your ipod because it is lock with with a passcode

itunes could not connect to your ipod because it is lock with with a passcode.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

ITunes could not connect to this iPhone because of an unknown error occurred (0xE800007F)

iTunes to iPhone 4 wireless sync fails. iTunes gives me this message:
iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because of anunknown error occurred (0xE800007F)
Windows 7 Pro - (Lastest & Greatest)
iPhone 4 - ios 5.0.1 (Lastest & Greatest)
iTunes 10.5.1.42 (Lastest & Greatest)
A Google search has found a number of other iPhone owners having the same problem, but no resolution. Anyone have a fix for this issue?

Hi Annette, i think itunes keeps booting itself because either your ipad or iphone or ipod touch has 'Open iTunes when this ##### is connected' selected in its properties.
to fix, connect whichever device you have to itunes using a cable, select the device in the left colmn and under the 'Summary' tab, deselect 'Open iTunes when this #### is connected'
This was doing the same thing to me. drove me mad.
I too am also having the same issue as the original poster with the cant connect message.

Louis

ITunes could not connect to this ipad. Could not allocate a resource

I updated my itunes to work with the new IOS7 and all of sudden, ever i device I own will no longer work with itunes.
Every device, my ipad, my iphone, my wifes iPhone, my kids iPads, all say "iTunes could not connect to this iPad (or iPhone if it's a phone, etc). Could not allocate a resource.
I'm not sure what's causing it and I'm not finding any posting while searching google, etc, for info about this. Most of the postings are back from 2012 with nothing new. I tried the 2012 suggestions and that did not fix anything. At this moment, I have a ton of i devices that can't add music or anything to them as they are not seen by iTunes either directly connected to the computer or when on the same wireless network and connected to 110v power.
I do see some other posts on the apple support pages but the only solution seems to be deleting the files in the lockdown folder and that does not resolve the issue for me.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

ok, this worked for me:
1. Remove "iTunes" from your dock
2. Empty The trash bin
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/ca/itunes/download/
4. Install (reinstall effectively)
5. Connect your device.
I also turned off all devices (Airplane mode is fine) before starting any of this - not sure it helped, but it didnt hurt.
Hope that that works!

HT2292 When I try to connect my iPad, I get this message: iTunes could not connect to this iPad. An unknown error occurred (0xE800000A)

When I try to connect my iPad, I get this message: iTunes could not connect to this iPad. An unknown error occurred (0xE800000A)

Let's try the following document with that one:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

Itunes could not connect to this iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000003)

itunes could not connect to this iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000003)
tried uninstalling itunes and restarting reinstalling, didnt change problem.

The article may not explicitly mention the error code but it does say +the error may be the same as above but end with a different number+. I've now found a forum on another site (http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=2813&page=2&s=f1904afbf5d4475d933fabcb9b 022f7e last post) that says :
1, Go to the folder C:/Program Data/Apple/Lockdown (in Vista or 7)
2, Delete SystemConfiguration (system file)
As I havn't had the error I don't know whether the above fixes it - and if you try it I'd suggest taking a backup or renaming the file, not deleting it, in case it doesn't work and you want to restore the file.
