Itunes keeps telling me that i need to restore my ipad!

Whenever i plug in my ipad to my computer and open up itunes, it always tells me that i have to restore my whole ipads settings to use itunes, which is not happening. Anyone know how to use itunes with my ipad without having to restore it? Also there is nothing wrong wit hmy ipad, its an ipad 4 32 gig and works fine! I also have the latest version of itunes.

if the ipod is otherwise behaving normally, it's possible that this is being caused by a Windows drive letter confusion.
for troubleshooting advice on that possibility, see the following document:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

I've synced iPad with iTunes, but it keeps telling me that there are purchases on my iPad that need to be transferred?

I've synced iPad with iTunes, but it keeps telling me that there are purchases on my iPad that need to be transferred before I can run the iOS update or I will lose them. What should I do? How do I figure out what purchases have not been transferred? I went into iTunes on my Mac and ran "Check for available downloads" and I still get same message.

The 'cehck for available downloads' checks if there is anything in the store that you haven't yet downloaded, it won't copy anything from the iPad. Have you tried doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases ?

Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

My Ipod keeps telling me that i need to verify my apple account how do i do that?

Well my Ipod keeps on telling me that i need to verify my account and i did but now it's telling me that i n eed to something else but i don't know what it's about at all. Can someone help me.

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
