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!

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.

Could not connect to this iPad. An unknown error occurred (OXE8000024).

My iPad 2 was acting a little funny so i reset using home & power buttons......now all that is displayed is a white apple or a bluish screen.
When connected to iTunes via laptop either it is not recognized at all .... or .... iTunes error message---Could not connect to this iPad. An unknown error occurred (OXE8000024) is displayed. When disconnected and reconnected sometimes it is recognized and sometimes it isn't.
It has been charged for over 8 hours with no change in status.
Various USB ports have been used with no change in status.
iTunes is updated to the latest version.
Laptop updates/windows are current.
It seems to be stuck in a vicious cycle. All help is appreciated!

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it didn't work. Have tried both kinds of restore. First restoring from backup and second as a new device (twice). Still get the same "Accessory not supported" message. Thank goodness I can use the old 30 pin SD reader with the lightning adaptor for my up-coming trip. I tried it again and it worked again. BUT I hate having a piece of Apple equipment that doesn't work.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

"iTunes couldn't connect to this iPad. Can't establish a secure connection to the device."

Hello anyone this might concern,
I'm having a problem with my week-old iPad 3 WiFi + 4G (although not 4G in Sweden, but anyway). When I yesterday (19th of June 2012) tried to hook my iPad to my mid 2011 iMac 27" wanting to synchronize it, I got a warning message that I've never seen before and not being known on the interwebs when searching for it.
Translated from Swedish it says: "iTunes couldn't connect to this iPad. Can't establish a secure connection with the device". No error code or anything. Just a window saying this and an OK button. Wierd I thought, tried to search for it and got hits that were similar but not in my opinion the same problem at all. Some people had problems a couple of years ago giving the similar error message, that had to do with the date and time not being the same on the iDevice as the computer hooking it up to. I checked my settings but everything checks out all right.
After a couple of tries of restarting both the iPad and the iMac, reinstalling iTunes etc etc I tried to connect my iPhone 4S. That went just fine, without a hitch. I was able to synchronize it, do whatever. So I took out my MBA 13" late 2010, connected the iPad to it and started iTunes - voilá it worked just fine! But still, the issue remains on the iMac today. I can't for the love of Steve understand what the problem is.
So, anyone out there sitting on an awesome fix?
Thanks,
Jacob

OK!
So I myself had this issue and have solved the issue. Let me recap:
1: Purchased a 13" Mac Book Pro
2:Already owned an Ipad that was syned with the PC I was previously using
3: When I connected my Ipad to the brand new Mac and opened Itunes was told (paraphrase) "Itunes can not connect to your Ipad...can not find secure connection
4: Called a multitude of Apple customer service folks who were really nice but couldn't help
          1) I tried different ports
          2) various apple connectors were used (not technical word but you know the cord that you use to connect your iPad to your cable with the usb)
          3) and on and on.....and no the date and time thing mentioned on many forums didn't work
          4) was able to sync photos through iPhoto with no issues
So what solved it:
1) Back up your iPad to iCloud (make sure it fully completes)
2) Go to General~Reset~Erase All Content and Settings
3) When iPad restores it will eventually get to a promp "restore from iCloud" say yes
4) At this point you are home sweet home...connect to itunes and Walla!
I also discovered how to sync Google calendars (if you have multiple like me) and google contacts to address. Holler at me if you need those too...don't waste your entire day like me. Peace Out!!

Ipad can not connect the computer, Ipad can not connect the computer

My Ipad can not be recongised in my computer after the itunes being upgrad. I uninstall the new itunes and reinstall many times. But it still does not work. Ipad always be read as a camera. And the itunes can not find the Ipad.

I have done the works according to the page's(
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538) instruction. It did not work.

I'm getting this error message: "iTunes could not connect to this iPad. Could not save the pairing record."

My iPad wont turn off completely, nor will it boot up, it just keeps thinking about it. Pretty sure my kids ran up all the memory, and I tried connecting it to iMac to dump pictures, but it only lets me get through it half way, and continues to reboot and gives me through iTunes the error message that it could not save the pairing record?

Disconnect it and restart your iMac and try again.

TS1387 this is the pop up that comes up when i plug in my phone "itunes could not connect to this iphone. Could not allocate a resource" what should i do?

The pop up that comes up as soon as i plug my iphone into my mac is 'itunes could not connect to this iphone. could not allocate resource" what should i do?

HOW TO FIX CANNOT ALLOCATE A RESOURCE ERROR!!!
I found a fix that worked for me after failing with all the others:
IF your computer has an old cydia app called Wi-Fi Sync (you'll recognize it on your toolbar as a black silhouette of an iphone that NEVER goes away), then this is probably your main culprit. Simple fix.
1. Goto your hard drive in the finder
2. Goto Library
3. Goto Launch Daemons
4. Throw this in the trash: com.ghughes.wifisync.root.plist
5. Goto Library
6. Goto Application Support
7. Throw this in the trash: Wi-Fi Sync (it's an entire folder).
8. Restart.
9. Thank me.
Peace and Love, Peace and LOVE!

I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?

Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
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.

When i connect my ipad to itunes it says "this ipad could not be used because the required software is not insatlled.Run the itunes installer to remove iTunes,then install the 64-bit version of itunes."
