TS1368 My iphone and my ipad will not connect to itunes.  I believe this has started after the last i tunes update

when I try to connect to itunes I keep getting a message on my Iphone and Ipad that says Can't connect to itunes.  It connected before last itunes update I believe.  I had paid for a game and the game will not let me play it now.

You get this message in iTunes on your computer or on the iPad itself? Did you try quitting iTunes, and restart your computer?

Not connecting to iTunes should have no bearing on not being able to use an app on your iPad - assuming that the app is actually on your iPad. What happens when you try to play the game? Did you try deleting it and reinstalling it? Did you restart your iPad or reboot the device?

    Hello wedge60,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning device recognition issues:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Try another USB cable.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • TS2776 Every time I go to play a video on itunes, the itunes site shuts down. I can play music all day, but it will not play a video anymore. This has happened in the last two weeks.

    Can anyone help me with this problem. Every time I click a video to play it itunes tells me it is shutting down. I bought a new monitor last week and thought it might be a resolution problem so I hooked up the old monitor and it still told me the same thing. Not sure what the problem is, can anyone help me PLEASE.

  • IPad will not connect to iTunes on migrated iMac

    I migrated my old iMac to a new iMac.
    My iPad will not connect to iTunes on the new iMac...     "does not have permission"
    How do I get my iPad to be recognized/associated/sync'd/etc. with iTunes on my new iMac?

    I assume so. I think the Migration Assistant copies everything from the old Mac to the new Mac. I have an iTunes folder in my home directory. It contains files:  iTunes library extras, iTunes library genius, iTunes music library - and folders: album artwork, iTunes music, mobile applications, and previous iTunes libraries.
    When I connect my iPad, the iPad icon does not show in the left column, and I get a message "iTunes could not connect to thid iPad. You do not have permission."
    FYI, I had no problem syncing my iPhone to iTunes on the new machine.

    iTunes and the App Store are two different apps/stores. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. If you want to buy apps - go to the app store. If you want to but media - music, movies, TV shows - go to iTunes.

  • IPad will not connect to iTunes without password, but screen inoperable

    After an attempted software update, the iPad will not connect to iTunes because it is password locked. But eh screen does not allow me to input the password. This is not a jailbroken iPad, but I did get a message on it that my "iPhone cannot send or receive calls without resetting."  This is why I tried to sync, etc.

    Try recovery mode.

  • I updated my Apple TV and now it will not connect to iTunes but it will connect to Netflix . I have restarted it and check wifi

    I updated my Apple TV and now it will not connect to iTunes but it will connect and play Netflix. I have restarted Apple TV and checked wifi connection.

        1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
        2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
        3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

    Do the devices connect to other networks?
