IPad 1st generation keeps asking to be connected to iTunes every time

Hi,
My 2nd iPad (1st generation) keeps asking to be connected every time it wakes up either from turn off or standby. I am really tired of restoring the same stuff again and again. If I am less lucky that day, Apple logo freezes forever until iPad gets so hot.
Are there any suggestions? I am using latest version of iTunes, tried connecting to Windows PC using different ports and 4 different cables, there are no security conflicts etc or TCP/IP issues.
Shall I return it to Apple? It is only 7 days that I had this delivered. I do not want to worship to this gadget - want to read my stuff, check my emails and all basic stuff. Tired of recovering 2-3 times a day. Waste of my time.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,

Was searching and trying all kinds of solutions - Apple suggests some very complicated ones as well...
I was not able to connect to my itunes and/or sync because of it... I found this in another thread and it solved my issues and everything is working for me now...
I found this, easy enough to follow solution that actually worked. in a single user's post in the forums here somewhere. Can't find it again to say thanks to whoever it was, which prompted me to post it everywhere so everyone else can find it:
(Note: this is for Windows 8, but the solution for other versions is similar - you might need to try a few other folders, but are still looking for "Apple Device" under "Device Manager".)
Connect your iPad/iPhone/iPod to your PC
Go to: Control Panel > Device Manager
Click on: Portable Devices
Right click on: Apple iPad/iPhone/iPod > Update Driver Software
Choose: Browse my computer for driver software.
Go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
Click okay and everything should suddenly work fine again. (I can't remember if I had to choose "trust" again, but if I did, I only had to do it the once and everything was fixed after that).
Hope it helps!

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

TS1398 what is the trick with getting connected to airport WiFi? It takes forever to go from the settings portion then to the browser to "accept" terms. Am I missing something to speed the process?

OK, I figured out from the various postings on here and way too many hours overnight how to pretty much make the Yoga do what it is supposed to do. I've written up a step by step at this link that may help some of you with your problems as well
Let me know if this helps!

HT1695 Anyone else having issues with not being able to get wifi on their iPhone 4S? I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

Thank you, I am trying to last option now. Resetting my network settings and if that still doesn't work ill have to go in to the apple store. Hopefully I won't need a new phone because I'm already at my limit with replacements on my AppleCare even though the issue with the phones 3 out of 4 times wasn't my fault and I can't afford to buy another phone.

E90 Maps keeps asking for Internet Connection

Hi,
Why does E90 Maps keep asking for internet?
"No Internet connection. Please check your Network settings"
And even if there is Internet connection via wifi and telco's data service, Maps doesn't seem to see it.
How do I stop it from asking?
Thanks!
And is there a way to tell maps to never show the zooom-in start up animation?Message Edited by kaon on 28-Jul-200703:45 PM

Hi kaon,
I checked the E90 manual online .. was curious ..
Found out that it can be done !
Page 54:
To prevent the device from automatically downloading maps through the internet, for example, when you are outside your
home cellular network, select Options > Settings > Network > Use network > Off.

For the N95, if you select to set the Network to 'when need', then the phone will give you a chance to select the access point. Try selecting the right one -- WLAN/ Telco.
Let me know how it goes !

Firewall keeps asking if incoming connections are allowed

Hi all,
Why does the Leopard firewall keep asking me if a application should allow or deny incoming connections for every application that I run? It doesn't happen everytime I ran an application but it happens quite often even for apps that I've already clicked on [Deny]. This is getting really, really annoying. First, why do all apps seem to want to allow incoming connections?
Is there a list of essential Mac OS apps that really need to allow incoming connections? I am not doing and file/printer/connection sharing. And I don't use iChat or any other IM software.
Is there a better software firewall to use with Leopard on my Mac Pro? I have a hardware firewall, a D-Link DIR-655 router, which seems to do quite well. BTW, I have the Mac firewall set to allow specific apps.
Thanks,
Steven

I found the answer in another thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6748694
Basically all you have to do is delete iTunes and iPhoto from your firewall access list. OSX already knows how to selectively open the ports for these bundled apps. When you put them onto the firewall access list, something goes wrong and it has to ask for permission every time.

BB Curve 8520 not connecting to local Wifi network

I bought this BB two days ago.
Device info: BB Curve 8520 OS v5.0.0.681
Your carrier: T-Mobile Prepaid (the Netherlands)
No Apps and 138598276 Bytes free space
No Apps installed
My problem:
I cannot get my local WiFi to work. I can see the 8520 with IP-nr listed in the Wireless clients overview of my DLink DIR-655 router. I see my local network-id listed on the phone's screen beside T-Mobile. The Wifi symbol is grey. In WiFi profiles I can see my network id with a blackbox and white line it.
Whenever I want to make contact through WiFi with for example the hotspot browser I immediately see this message which I translated from Dutch: "Cannot connect to the internet. Try again later."
I have added Wifi with WPS and manually, but nothing helps. Has it something to do with BIS ? I have not used this service and don't even know how to activate that. I am not sure if I even want to do that. I just want to be able to access internet using my local Wifi network.
I also did a battery pull, a router reboot, but still no go.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Roland

ML keeps asking me to connect to webdav server

I used to have a webdisk account with godaddy, and I use the Go > Connect to Server... option in Finder to access it. I no longer have that account, and I ejected the drive before cancelling it, but now everytime I reboot my Mac it asks me to connect to that server. I can't find a way to stop it, can someone help?
EDIT: Just so you know, I deleted everything from the Connect dialog. Also, there's no drive or apps request at the startup panel. I did had GoDaddy's desktop tools installed, but I used the uninstaller provided by them to remove it before cancelling the account.

Turn off wifi or go under settings-wifi-ask to join networks off.
Siri works over 3G, you don't need wifi.

Bought a new iphone 6 with Verizon plan 2/11/15. Tried to connect with my home wifi 3 or 4 times with I thought the correct password but now it says Forget This Network and wont let me try again. Can't its the only network available. How do I clear this and start over. Thanks, this laptop connects fine but this is my first smartphone and I don't see why it gives a crap if I mess up 50 times! Help!

Help is right here for you Omichael! Let's get you conneted
to your home wifi. May I ask are you able to connect to other wifi networks? If
so then please forget your home network again, turn wifi off, reboot, and
retest. If this doesn't work then you will want to reset network settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind that
this will delete ALL wifi passwords that you have saved.

My ipod touch says "activation required, connect to itunes" i restore it on my itunes and it seems to be working, after i tried connecting to my wifi but no luck, i reset it and the same thing happens all over again. Help!

my ipod touch says "activation required, Connect to itunes" i restored it with on my itunes and it seems to be working again, after i tried connecting to my wifi with no luck i reset it, and again it pops back "activation required, connect to itunes" i restored again, its a non ending cycle, and it makes no sense having my ipod and i cannot connect to the internet with it, can someone please help with this issue?

Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Keeps asking to allow connections to the same application

I've had this issue since I istalled Leopard, but it just now started bothering me. I have my Firewall set to "allow access only for specific services and applications".
I have a list of applications for which I allow connections and other for which I don't.
Even though an application is on the list and I allowed all connections to it, every time I open it up, Leopard asks if I want to allow connections.
Is there a fix for this?

I found a solution that worked perfectly for me so far, hope it stays that way.

E72 keeps asking how to connect to internet

Hi there,
Each half an hour (or something like that) I get some message on my cellphone in which I need to select which connection I would like to use to go on the internet. This message is starting to get really ennoying, so I was hoping someone knows how I can turn it off?
Personally, I think it is some program like the email, that is trying to check for emails each half an hour by using internet. Although I haven't set up any emailaccount on my phone.
I also only go online using wifi.
Anyone have idea where I can turn off this message appearing on my phone?
thanks already!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hallo jerhay,
is there any application that you have installed uses internet access point on regular intervals?
also as mentioned already in this thread, it might be even World Traveler.
also cross check for any mail boxes
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!
