ITunes finds iPad in DFU mode when no iPad is connected...

Every time I open iTunes it detects a supposed iPad in DFU mode even if there's no iPad present. System Profiler also shows up with a DFU iPad in the USB section...

    Ipad 4 won't turn on at all, and is recognized by itunes as being in recovery mode- when I try to restore it stalls on the portion stating "preparing device for restore" and on the page it says "itunes is restoring the software." Been like this for a day. I read the restore notes on apple, but this seems to be a little more unique than the standard recovery issues. Any ideas as to why I seem to keep stalling during the restore process?

    Couple of things I can think of before going to the Apple store.
    First, if you can, power off the iPad. Then connect it to the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it there at least an hour then try to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    Also, you mentioned you have the latest iTunes. But it would be good to check the actual version. If the iPad is running iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.

    I have an iphone 5. I have no idea of the ios version in it. Recently i broke my iphone screen and its showing up nothing. it was never synced to itunes or to any pc. When i tried to connect iphone to itunes in my pc it was asking for passcode which i had forgotten ages ago. Suggest me the possible ways to recover my iphone.

    Since the screen doesn't work, it will be challenging to get it working, even thru iTunes. You will need to ask yourself if you want to invest more money in it or get a new one, especially since the contents will be lost since you don't know the passcode. Apple will gladly replace the screen for a cost that represents a significant portion of the price of a new. Once the screen is done, you may or may not be eligible for the free iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program.
    Or, if you decide to salvage it and are strong of heart and firm of hand, you can replace the screen yourself for less. See here and note they carry kits with all needed tools and parts.

  • Error 21 (and 1600 in DFU mode) when updating/restoring to iOS 5.0.1

    I am getting Error 21 when I update or restore my iPhone 3GS (currently at 4.2.1). I don't have any security software installed so that shouldn't be the problem. Trying to restore in DFU mode brings up an Error 1600 instead. I have also tried using a different USB port with no luck. I have tryed redownloading the update with still no luck. Also my iPhone is not and has never been jailbroken. Anyone got any ideas?

    I had the same issue where my iphone was stuck at "connect to itune" screen and would not install ios 5.0.1 and found an easy way or atleast worked for me. My phone was jail broken and this is the problem I guess.
    But any ways, I had my shsh blob save for ios 4.1. I tried installing ios4.1. by starting tinyumbrela TSS server. It progressed to a point where iphone is clean/formatted of any previous iOS/jailbreak and started installing iOS4.1 (although I got some other errors on iOS4.1 but thats a different story). At this point i went back and started installing ios5.0.1 and worked perfectly.
    I hope this help you guys.
    In conclusion, I think if you remove jailbreak before upgrading to iOS 5.0.1, you may not see these errors.

  • ITunes stuck in the FINISHING mode when burning CD

    I've had some rough times since upgrading to iTunes 7 - then uninstalling and going back to iTunes 6....
    now when I burn a CD of my purchased music, iTunes goes thru the process but at the very end, when it's finishing, iTunes just hangs and hangs and hangs....STUCK in the FINISHING mode. I'm so afraid my CDs will not burn properly with this problem. How to solve? Thanks.

  • IPhone 4 keeps going out of DFU mode when trying to reset

    So I was helping my dad with his iPhone 4. It just stopped working from time to time.
    When I tried turning it back on at those times, it just stops at the recovery mode screen. I then tried having it plugged in while I had iTunes up, but that didn't help. Error 21, iTunes said.
    So I tried putting the phone in DFU mode and then resetting it to factory settings. But during the reset - when it tried to contact the Apple servers - the phone went straight from DFU mode to Recovery mode which gave me the error 21 again.
    I've tried all of the tips in the help section (making sure that the computer was up-to-date, I made sure the security program was turned off etc, I deleted the ipw and had iTunes download it for me again), but that didn't help either. I even tried to start iTunes as an administrator, but that didn't help either. The account on the computer is also an administrator.
    So what should I do now?

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete 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. Pls help

    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.

  • Itunes finding ipad over wifi

    Has anyone else had problems with their ipad syncing over wifi to your itunes. Before the ios5.1 update it worked fine now nothing. Keeps saying will sync when my computer is available?

    I cannot syn via Wi-Fi because my computer is only running Leopard and that OS does not support Wi-Fi sync.
    So while I cannot test this theory I'm thinking that you might have to connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes. Then go back and reset the preferences to Wi-Fi sync. Hopefully this will work for you.
    You might also try first a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • ITunes and iPad Mini connectivity

    I just got an iPad Mini and I really like it.  However, I'm having a problem with it and iTunes.
    1.  If I connect it to a USB hub connected to my iMac, iTunes shows it as a device. 
    I have it set up to sync over wifi just as I've done with a 3rd Generation iPad.
    2.  If I connect the Mini to the charging adapter that came with it and plug that into an outlet next to my iMac, it lists it as a device and works fine
    3.  If I connect it to the same charging adapter at the other end of the house, it does not show up in iTunes
    From Terminal I am able to ping the iPad Mini via the household Wifi.  iTunes does not connect to it.
    I like to put the iPad on a charger near my bed so I don't have to trek through the length of the house when I'm finished for the night.  My iPad 3rd Gen works fine like this as does my iPhone 4S. In all cases the device is connected to a charging adapter using the USB to the correct connector (30 pin except for the Mini is by the lightening connector).
    What might be the problem?
    BTW, I can see the sidebar.  The iPad 3rd Gen and the iPhone 4s show up under devices there when on the charger.  iPad Mini shows up if connect to computer via USB cable but not if only on a charger.  All three devices are set up to sync via WiFi.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Hello thre bkitchin,
    I was looking through our resources about what may be going on in this situtation and think I have an article that may help you out. It is called iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062.
    I would recommend starting at step three, as the first 2 are already taken care of, and work your way down from there.
    3. Quit and reopen iTunes and restart your iOS device
    If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, restart your iOS device.
    It's conceivable you may have to restore the iPad mini, the process is found in the article iTunes: Restoring iOS software found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
    Take care,
    Sterling
    Take care,

  • HT1665 Why does music come out muddled and echoing in alarm mode when the iPhone is connected to the Bose SoundDock lll?

    There is a very unique problem with the iPhone 5 and iPad mini when connected to the Bose SoundDock III.
    In normal music playback, music sounds great coming out of the Bose SoundDock, but, when a song is chosen for the Apple Alarm App and turns on when the alarm goes off, the music sounds terrible.  It reverberates, echoes, is muddled, sounds messy.
    What is so odd about this is the same sound coming out of a speaker-device connected to the phone's headphone jack sounds perfect, and as intended.
    It only has this issue when it is in alarm mode and it's connected via the lighting port connector.
    Is this an Apple software glitch that wasn't researched fully or a manufacturing defect on the Bose end?
    I've tried a couple Bose systems so it isn't peculiar to one SoundDock.
    What are your thoughts?

    Check Settings > General > Cellular > Cellular Data and make sure it's "On".
