Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Macbook Air. They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports. Any suggestions?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
The solution is as follows:
Power on and immediately pres and hold: cmd + alt + p + r. This wil restart the machine, hold these buttons until the machine has tried to bootup two or three times then let go.
The problem could comeback but just use this 2 minute trick and your good to go.
Please let me know of this worked for you!
My hardware: MacBook Pro 15 inch 2015 (fully spect). Had this problem with: iPad 2017, Iphone 7+, Ipad 4, Iphone 6. All works well after this reset.
Turning on airplane mode did it for me - thanks a lot, mate! MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) & iPad Mini Retina
