Sync Ipads with Itunes on Computer : it backs up then when I look at Summary it tells me this ipad has never been backed up to this computer? I have done this forever.
So I then decided to go to Files : Devices : Restore Backup, which I do regularly and iPad backups up automatically when syncing anyway, and Backup device is highlighted and Restore Backup is greyed out so I cant do this either? W
hat is happening. My last 2 weeks have been a nightmare upgrading to IOS 10 and now again IOS 10.2.1. I am working with a bank of 25 iPads so to loads seperately onto each iPad – my last resort which I have just started is really the end.

iTunes does not automatically back up every time you sync, so maybe it didn't do a backup just then? If you press the button to make a backup, does it backup successfully and change the last backup date?
