You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

Iphone Is Disabled For Trying To Unlock My Phone To Many Times , But It Says Connect To Itunes. Help?

So I Just Got My Iphone Back From The Store Fixing It , And I Just Got It Back In 4 Months , And As Soon As I Got It I Had a passcode i put on it and i tried to many attempts and it was disabled for 60 minutes , after the time was up i tried again and now its disabled and says connect to itunes , can someone please give me some brief instructions please i really want to get my phone unlocked!

put it in recovery mode as explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

My ipad says connect to iTunes but when I do nothing happens, this after it failed to restore.

I installed multitouch on my iPad 2 before it was generally avaliable. Ever since thin I have been unable to update the software. I'd get a "device is isn't eligible for the requested rebuild" error. I just bought "New iPad" last night, so I need to update the current one so that I can get my new one set up. I started folowing instructions in this forum to deal with the error. I opened xCode and tried to restore from there. But I got the same error... only now my iPad is wiped clean and it's showing the "connect to iTunes" image it showed when I first set it up.
BUT when I connect it to iTunes nothing happens! Same deal with xCode.
I can see my apps are still backed up in iTunes compleated a backup before this all started... but how do I get iTunes to "see" the ipad now?
I'm on a Macintosh with the newest version of iTunes and OS 10.6.8

So, I have managed to get my iPad to stop showing the "connect to iTunes" screen. I did this by plugging it in to my husband's PC and trying to restore from the backup I left there many many months ago.
The restore FAILED error 3194 (I looked it up it's the same error as the one I got on my macintosh "device is isn't eligible for the requested rebuild"
But the restore attempt mad the "connect to iTunes" screen go away, now it has 4.3.1 again with the special multitouch update.
BUT I STILL CAN'T RESTORE! Why not? I've been searching all over the web and I can find nothing that helps.
It's not like I jailbroke it... can anyone help me please?

Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Iphone ios 5 update stalled and now iphone says connect to itunes but itunes does not read a device is connected

Trying to update to IOS 5 but having problems - the iphone now wants to connect to itunes (picture on screen) and when connected to laptop via usb iphone not recognised (ie might as well be unconnected!) - help! If I reset the iphoneit comes back to the picture screen requesting connection to Itunes!

That is an incorrect assumption.

TS3274 iPad says connect to iTunes, iTunes says I must unlock iPad, cant unlock iPad.

I cannot use my iPad. Whenever i turn it on, the on screne picture has the usb pointing to and iTunes symbol, meaning connect to iTunes. Whenever i connect my iPad to my compture, iTunes says i must unlock my iPad before it can sync. i have a password on my iPad, but cant seen to get to the passcode screne..any help at all? i do not care about anything on the iPad, it can all be erased!

Try this now. Quit iTunes, restart the computer and restart the iPad as well and then try again. If that still doesn't work, you could try using another computer - especially if you don't care about erasing the iPad.
Recovery mode can be finicky, don't give up, keep trying a few more times.

Ipad says connect to iTunes

Hi,
I had an ipad i turned on to use, and battery didnt have much juice left in it, then it rebooted.
Shows Apple Logo, then the spinning circle and shuts down, and stuck in that loop.
Plugged it into Itunes on PC in DFU mode and it said recovery mode and downloaded and installed what ever the newest firmware is
Now it shows as connect to itunes, however itunes doesnt recognise it.
Under drivers in device manager it shows Apple Mobile device (recovery mode)
Any help please ????

If you see the Connect to iTunes screen turn off or sleep the iPad. Try pressing the sleep/wake button until you see a slide to power off slider then slide to power off. If that will not come up try pressing the sleep/wake button once to sleep the iPad.
Then connect it to the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least an hour then reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If it starts up fine. Continue to charge it until the battery is at 100%.
If it then shows the connect to iTunes screen, put it back to sleep and let it charge for at least another hour. Then start it up again and start iTunes on your computer and connect the iPad to your computer.

Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

What do i do my IPad says connect to iTunes but my IPad is disabled.

And in order to unlock it now.....
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
You will probably have to use recovery mode

Updating software came up with error now asking to connect to iTunes but when i do says ipad in recovery mode and must restore the ipad before connecting to iTunes ?

I was updating my daughters ipad last night to the latest operting system, when finished it came up with an error message, her ipad then went blank and came up with the picture to connect to itunes. But when I connect to itunes it comes up with the error message "itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode. You must restore this ipad before it can be used with itunes" - can someone help with how I can do this

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
