Apple Devices App does not do anything
I have been using iTunes for over 15 years... never had it crash during an OS push. Since you can't update an iPad with only 32GB of space OTA, I have been using iTunes to push updates to it. Today, that stopped working trying to update from iPad 18.1.1 to 18.2. iTunes just crashed. As a result, I googled what the current method is. And the internet provided a worse solution... Apple Devices. This application does nothing. I does see that I have an iPad connected, but when I push the "Restore iPad..." button, the button image flickers and then does nothing. I can't eject the device.
I have rebooted my Windows 11 computer a few times hoping that iTunes would come back to me, but it still keeps crashing during the OS push to the iPad.
Epic Failure Apple.
This application has gone from bad to worse. I closed out of the Apple Devices app and now it won't even launch.
