Can't Sync iTunesU on iPad

I've downloaded a course using the iTunesU app on my iPad and can see the content on the iPad. I've plugged the iPad in to iTunes on Windows and want to sync the content, but I can't get anything to appear in iTunes.
I have an iTunesU folder in iTunes but it's empty. When I click on the iPad and select the iTunesU folder, I can see that it has 23 items in it (which is right - it's the number of items in the course). However, when I sync nothing appears on the PC. I haver ticked the option to sync, so I would have expected everything to appear.
If I go in to the iPad settings and check out the usage, it tells me I have 16Gb in my Music folder, which I assume is the content of this course, but I can't see any way to get it off the iPad and on to the PC in iTunes. This also brings up the question of how I go about deleting the materials as I progress through the course!
There is no " iTunesU" setting section in the 'settings' in the iPad.
Does anyone know how to transfer the content? I've also tried transferring my purchases from the iPad and subscribiung to the course in iTunes on the PC.
Steve

The really fustrating part is, if I tick to sync iTunesU and select to include all items, then I see a count of 23 but can't see the categories and nothing syncs. If I select to sync anything else (unread etc) I get a count of 0 and get a blank list of categories.
Why does something this simple have to be this hard???
I have checked and I am signed in.

  • How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

    You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
    What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

    You can add your iCloud account to his iPad as a secondary account to his primary account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars) and enable just contacts and calendars.

  • HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

    Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

    Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

  • Can't sync music on iPad?

    So I realised today that I couldn't add new songs or play some of my already existing songs on my iPad (using iTunes) so I tried to remove the entire music library, and sync it again. But when I removed it, I couldn't sync it back?!
    The weird thing is, it actually shows (on iTunes) the songs that I had before I removed them on my iPad, but I can't play it. It shows, I can click on them, but it just doesn't play. I don't know why it still shows when I actually have like 9GB free because I removed my music from my iPad, and it actually says so on settings, but I just can't resync my songs.
    I also tried to add music manually, and this pops up:
    iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad because no songs in your iTunes library can be copied to this iPad.
    I have no idea what's wrong and I'm really confused. Please help!
    Extra info:
    My iPad isn't really new, it's half a year old already.
    I don't think it's a problem with iTunes because it syncs with my iPod just fine. Or am I missing something?
    Other apps sync without problems with my iPad.

    Also I have tried switching my iPad on and off multiple times, but the problem still persists.

  • Can't sync my new ipad Air to my Leopard iMac

    I just bought a new iPad Air and discovered that I can't sync to my iMac (Leopard). 
    I was going to upgrade to Snow Leopard but could not as I don't have enough space (2 GB).
    Don't know what to do as I would like to transfer most info from my current iPad 2 to iPad Air.

    I was told that if I sync my current iPad 2 to another computer,it will wipe out all my data. Is this true?
    That is true. There are, however, ways to transfer sync to another computer without losing your data. Check out this user tip from TuringTest:

  • Can't sync events to iPad after iPhoto 9.1.2 upgrade

    When snycing to iPad, events do not appear

    Greetings,
    I've encountered this issue myself with my iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.  Given the traffic on these discussion boards for this topic I would say Apple is probably aware of the issue but you can let them know: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    As a work around create Albums (File > New Album) for each event you wish to have on your iPad.  Create the Album then drag the event to the Album.
    The Album should sync to the iPad without issue.
    Usually this kind of issue gets fixed with a software update so keep your system up to date.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can't sync with my ipad 2.

    Just purchased an Ipad 2 and am using a windows 7 64bit machine. Drivers installed fine for it and Itunes recognizes that it's there under devices. But after a few seconds of my ipad being hooked up I get a message saying Itunes couldn't load provider data from sync services. Try again later. I can't sync any folders or files as of yet. What should I do?

    not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
    (stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

    You can sync apps through iTunes, as a backup. You can't run those apps on your Mac, though.

    If your profile is correct, you don't have iCloud. iCloud only comes with OS X 10.7.2 or better.

  • Can't sync movies to iPad; can't share movies on network

    On the iPad (with retina display), when trying to watch movies shared from iTunes, after selecting the shared library, the circle spins for a while until failing with "Unable to turn on Home Sharing".  This started happening a lot recently, but I figured it wasn't that bad....I can just sync a few movies to the iPad, no problem, right? WRONG!!!!  I cannot sync movies to the iPad either.  iTunes just acts like it is doing something, then after a while it just stops acting like it's doing anything.  The movies never sync.  Also, if I deselct movies that are already there, they still do NOT get removed from the iPad.
    You might ask how I got the movies there in the first place.  This happened once already and I reset the iPad.  I was able to watch one movie in my shared library before getting the "Unable to turn on Home Sharing", and I was able to sync 4 movies.  That was it though, and all attempts to watch shared movies or to sync movies now fail.  Funny thing is that when I reset the iPad I lost a lot of custom settings.  I only got movies on it for a day biut I've been configuring my erased settings for a week.  I have reset my account info for home sharing in the iPad multiple times.  I have reset the iPad.  As I said, resetting worked for a day or two.
    Any ideas?
    Gary

    Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as headphones and keyboards - the supported profiles are listed on the this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    iOS 5 and the iCloud allow more to be done wirelessly
