My ipad is showing the connect to itunes and will not move from there.
After trying to update my ipad. I recieved an "unable to update" error message. Now all my ipad will do is show the connect to itunes symbols. I cannot get is to restart or restore. itunes is not recognizing the ipad.
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

I have a iphone 4 and it will not come out of the connect to iphone mode. I have connected to itunes and it will go about 3/4 of the way and say the phone cannot be updated. It was installing and update when this happened. can anyone help?
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you should be able to restore to factory settings.

Rented movies show up twice in iTunes and will not transfer to my iPad 2 because "already transfered to another computer or device." Ideas on how to enable movie sync?
My understanding is that rented movies can be viewed on only one device - the device that originally received the movie. Consequently, they can not be synced.
I can not explain why you see them twice in iTunes. -
I am trying to update my iphone 4s to ios7. It is stuck on the terms & conditions page and will not move on even if I agree or disagree. Any help?
this did not help me. Agree/disagree/turn off/turn on/ try again. Nothing gets it off the initial Icloud terms and privacy policy agree/disagree page. The phone is really of limited usefulness, being stuck on that page.

I tried restoring iPad1 to prepare it to sell, encountered error during the restore. iTunes dispalyed a message that there had been an error. My iPad1 is just showing the image to connect to iTunes, even after i try restarting the iPad1. I've also restarted my PC and iTunes will not recognize the iPad1.
iTunes is and will recognize my new iPad3 just fine.
How do I get my iPad1 to come back to life?
Thanks!No luck. The article says to press and hold the home button, then plug in the usb cable. When i do that, I still just have the connect to itunes image on the iPad, and iTunes is not recognizing the iPad.

My iPad is no longer connected to wifi and will not reconnect to wifi.
I have 2 other Apple devices that are connected to the same wifi network and they're working fine. I tried reset my network settings like the support page said. But, it no longer works. What can I do?
Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo -
IPod Touch is disabled, won't connect to iTunes and will not go into recovery mode.
Hello! I had lost my iPod touch for several months and finally found it. However, I didn't remember the passcode. Now it's disabled and says to connect to iTunes. iTunes is saying that I must enter in the passcode before it can connect. I tried following apple's instructions on putting it in recovery mode, but when the home button is held down, only the apple logo appears until the disabled screen comes up again.
Any suggestions?Try DFU mode.

Ipod nano does not connect to itunes and will not launch. Help please?
I was about to download some tracks onto my sons ipod nano when got the update message. I wish I had ignored it as my days have been taken over with scouring support, discussions and other sources to get itunes to launch. I have deleted, stopped, repaired and changed files. Nothing happens. No error message. Get the hour glass for couple of secs, thats all. Quicktime launches fine (also updated). Windows sees ipod hardware. What is going on? Granny is giving son an itunes gift card. As I have never allowed him to download tunes he is going to be thrilled............. except he can't use it!!!! I've spent way to many hours trying to find solution. Can anyone help me? Please?
Sometimes iPod simply won't work off certain USB hubs. If it works directly off the computer, then continue to use that. Your only other choice is to try out other hubs until you find one that works. Is it a powered hub?

my ipod touch is not getting recognised after the update in my itunes library. i have updated my library as well. but it shows the connect to itunes sign on my ipod.
If it happened after updating iTunes on the computer see:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If after updating the iOS on your iPod:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

By accident i removed the charger while updating and now my iPhone shows me connect to iTunes and i am but my Phone doesn't show Help
You need to restore the iPhone via recovery mode. To do this follow the link below to guide you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Because you need to restore to factory settings all data on the iPhone will be erased. Because the iPhone was never backed up most of the data you won't be able to get back.
