iTunes could not back up to the iPad "usersx's iPad" because the iPad disconnected
I have a Snow leopard Mac that I have been syncing to an iPad(IOS 5) with Wifi and it has been working great. I recently upgraded to OS X lion on the Imac and the Ipad device dissappeared as a device from itunes on the imac. I plugged the ipad back into the imac with the USB and the Wifi syncing is now working again.
Problem is with this error message -->iTunes could not back up to the iPad "usersx's iPad" because the iPad disconnected <---
- Even with the error message the ipad syncs music ok and is visible from the mac(the device does not disconnect)
- I have restarted both machines multiple times to no avail
- I have deleted the existing iPad backup and restarted with the same error
My Best Guess is that the iPad is trying to backup via the USB cable not Wifi. Does anyone know the Itunes configuration files within OS X lion via Terminal / or other means other than the GUI ? DO they even exist ? I am comfortable editing any file with Vim or other command line.
I have the iPad installed on the wall(as a music player) so taking it down is a real pain. Seems like apple is heading the way on Windows and when I call Apple for support re-install seems to be the answer to questions people dont know. I would rather trouble shoot and resolve then re-install.
