My iTunes will not connect on my iPad

Updated my iPad 2 . Been ok for awhile now it won't connect to iTunes .

1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

ITunes could not connect to this ipad. Could not allocate a resource

I updated my itunes to work with the new IOS7 and all of sudden, ever i device I own will no longer work with itunes.
Every device, my ipad, my iphone, my wifes iPhone, my kids iPads, all say "iTunes could not connect to this iPad (or iPhone if it's a phone, etc). Could not allocate a resource.
I'm not sure what's causing it and I'm not finding any posting while searching google, etc, for info about this. Most of the postings are back from 2012 with nothing new. I tried the 2012 suggestions and that did not fix anything. At this moment, I have a ton of i devices that can't add music or anything to them as they are not seen by iTunes either directly connected to the computer or when on the same wireless network and connected to 110v power.
I do see some other posts on the apple support pages but the only solution seems to be deleting the files in the lockdown folder and that does not resolve the issue for me.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

ok, this worked for me:
1. Remove "iTunes" from your dock
2. Empty The trash bin
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/ca/itunes/download/
4. Install (reinstall effectively)
5. Connect your device.
I also turned off all devices (Airplane mode is fine) before starting any of this - not sure it helped, but it didnt hurt.
Hope that that works!

Itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device

Hello
I just installed the maximus v extreme motherboard with a ocz vertex 4 ssd with windows 7 x64. Installation was fine and installing drivers went without a hitch. Re-installing the software i use went fine as well.
However, when i went to use iTunes( v10.7) to sync my ipad i got an error message saying:
"Itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device"
I then connected my ipod nano to see if it will cause the same error, but it worked fine. So i tried an iphone and the same error I got for my ipad came up.
I tried reinstalling the usb drivers, but the same error came up. I also updated BIOS to the latest version, but the error still came up. I also reinstalled itunes numerous times and still got the error. I reinstalled and updated all drivers as well. Again this did not fix the issue. I also tried to run itunes in vista compatability and xp compatability mode. Again this did not fix the issue.
I have also followed all the steps apple recommends to do on their website with regards to this issue, again it did not fix the issue.
It is a real pain as everything else works like a dream! Is there anything i can do to get itunes to work properly on my pc?
Thank you for your help!

I fixed this problem. Believe the problem is iOS 7 incompatibility with older iTunes Versions on older MacOS systems or platforms.
My iPad 2 would no longer sync with my old PowerPC Mac mini running MacOS. My iPhone 3GS synced fine. IPad2 updated to iOS 7 which doesn't run on my iPhone 3GS. Error message for iPad sync problem was "invalid response received from iPad" out of iTunes. I then applied update iOS 7.1.2 to iPad and error message changed to indicate this version of iTunes not supported, use 11.1.
iPad 2 used to sync prior to iOS 7 installation.
Research on Apple web site shows iOS 7 on iPhones and iPads does not support older MacOS and iTunes versions.
Upgraded with new Mac mini and iTunes 11.1 and MacOS 10.9.2. (put this off as long as I could. )
all good now.

Your iPad is syncd with iTunes on your computer and your iTunes account controls what's in your iPad. Previously it must have been sync'd with another person's iTunes account in which case you need to completely clear it out to make it your own.
Go to Settings > General > Reset (at bottom) > Erase All Content and Settings
Then plug it into your computer and restore it with YOUR iTunes account.
Or if your have an iTunes account already setup under your name with your own apps and media -
Plug it into your computer, open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically and on your iPad page, click Restore
Let it proceed. Then the iPad will no longer be looking for someone else's account.

7. Select "Restore iPad"...

1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

ITunes will not connect but Internet does

iTunes will not connect or load no matter how long I wait but the Internet will, so I know it's not a wi-fi issue. Is the server down?

You could try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if the iPad is on iOS 6) and then logging back in and see if that makes any difference.
If it doesn't fix it then you could try disconnecting from your network and reconnecting to it, and/or a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Error message "itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device".

Hi, I am having problems with itunes and my ipad........
I can use my ipad on my laptop but it will not connect to my main PC, I get the error message:
"itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device"
I have done all the Apple support ideas including re-installing itunes twice but no joy.
It used to work a week or so ago and no, I can't think of anything I have done which would have stopped it.
I have run msconfig and disabled everything but still no connection.
Anyone got any ideas?????

ITunes could not connect to the iPad because the devise timed out

iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the devise timed out

That's not unusual. The USB ports on your computer most likely do not have enough power to charge the iPad efficiently. The device may in fact be charging, even though you may be getting a message otherwise, and even if it is charging, it is a very slow trickle charge and will take much longer to fully recharge the battery.
Take a look at this.

HT1386 For some reason my iTunes will not connect to the internet even though the computer is connected. Any ideas?

Unable to start sync because iTunes will not connect to internet. Computer is connected but iTunes will not connect. I even deleted iTunes and downloaded again. Will not connect still.

I am experiencing this problem as well.
I have access to the internet and can download songs from the music store but iTunes is being its usual pain in the rear and says I do not have an internet connection when I try to download any updates.
This does not seem to be a firewall issue, at least as far as I can tell, as I have McAfee and both iTunes and iTunes Helper have Full Access in my firewall settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My iTunes will not connect to the internet because it is tied to IE's proxy settings but IE does not work how do I change the proxy setting to FireFox

I have stopped using IE because it doesn't work, however my iTunes will not connect to the internet now because it is tied to the proxy setting in IE and now I am using FireFox, so, how do I get iTunes to see FireFox as my web browser.

i am having the same problem, i stopped using IE and installed firefox , only now my itunes store won't connect to the internet.

Itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

Quit the app and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
