Try this,


Disconnect your iDevice


Reset your iDevice (no data or settings are lost)

Hold the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.

Hold both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.

Wait until the white Apple logo appears and release both buttons.


Restart your computer (do not run iTunes after it reboots)


Plug in your iDevice to your computer using correct USB cable


Start iTunes if it has not already started automatically.
