My iPad 2 won't connect to iTunes

Last night I plugged my iPad into iTunes just to update it and everything was fine. iTunes asked if I wanted to download and install the most recent update/download it had so of course I accepted and did this, however when it had done I found that my iPad has been wiped and there is no content on it. The sign on the front comes up telling me to open iTunes however when I plug it in iTunes won't open or if iTunes is already open then it won't register that my iPad is connected.
I also have an iPhone 4s and I have tried plugging this into iTunes and everything works fine. I have tried deleting iTunes off of my computer and reinstalling it and this made no difference

My brand new iPad 4 won't connect to iTunes on my PC.

My brand new iPad 4 won't connect to iTunes on my PC. When first connected to the USB port this mornng, iPad appeared under devices in iTunes, but it soon disappeared. I waited and reconnected using a different USB port, and "iPad" appeare for a short time, and I was able to transfer some files to my iPad. But the connection was broken again. This last attempt, "iPad" appeared for about 30 seconds, and then nothing. The iPad is two days old! What can I do?

IPad 2 won't connect to iTunes after installing iOS7

After installing iOS7 wirelessly, the connect to iTunes logo pops up. I'm currently just using my iPad as a web browser/e-book reader so I really have no care to what happens to any of my music and apps so I didn't back it up. Also, my current laptop doesn't have iTunes on it since my brother and I swapped laptops because I had to reinstall Lion on my Mac, so I had to donwload and install iTunes.
I tried the sleep/wake + home shut down and holding the home button after connecting to the usb and it still doesn't work. Then I tired running diagnostics, it said that it can't connect to the internet (eventhough here the ef I am) and there are no USB ports (eventhough here I am effing using my working usb wireless mouse).

IPad 2 won't connect to iTunes store

I just purchased an iPad 2 this morning and set everything up. I went on my iPad and clicked iTunes and iTunes opens up, but when I click to buy something it exits out of iTunes and a blue box comes up that says "cannot connect to iTunes store". The same thing happens to the app store to. Ive been trying to figure it out but I can't, any suggestions about what it could be?

Had exactly the same problem, my iPhone had no issues, but my brand new iPad would not connect to AppStore or iTunes, and sometimes it would not connect to YouTube, iBooks or GameCenter... I tried all tips and suggestions that I could find on the web, but none seemd to work.
But when I tried my iPad on a different network, all was fine! So I got a new Cisco WiFi router and hey presto! No problems with AppStore or anything! Weird (wired) but true... I can't see a reasonable explanation why my 2 yr old Belkin (B-G-N) router would cause these problems, but theydisappeared totally with the new router installed.

IPad 3G won't connect to iTunes

Unable to set up the iPad -- have used the online assistant and completed all steps for troubleshooting... no luck. Any suggestions?

If you've tried the restart and also the reset, you can either:
Contact Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
Or visit your Apple store for assistance.
What are you seeing on the ipad screen? If it's the itunes 'connect' picture, maybe the sync cable is bad. So be sure to take the sync cable to the apple store with you.

IPad 2 Won't Connect into iTunes, and Charges at About 1% per Hour on Charger or iTunes.

Hi there,
The title says it all really.
When I connect iPad 2 to iTunes it doesn't connect - it does through wifi however.
When connected to either iTunes or charger it doesn't say it's charging however it will if wifi etc. are off at about 1% or so per hour.
Yes! I have tried restarting both the computer and the ipad, different outlets, charges, computers and leads, etc., etc., etc.
Maybe someone has some ideas?
Thanks,
Jim.

iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter.
iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.
