Can't sync my iPad with Mac air. Box says I need latest version of iTunes on iPad and go to support and download. Site says that iPad already has iTunes?

I am unable to sync my IPad with my new Mac Air. Dialogue box says I need latest version of ITunes and to go to Apple and download. at that site it says that the IPad already has ITunes so there is nothing to download?

You need to update itunes on the computer not the ipad.

  • I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.

  • Can't sync palm centro with Mac G4 and palm software 4.2.1

    I just purchased a palm centro690 smart phone.  My service is with verizon.  I have a Mac G4 with OS 10.4.11.  I already had palm software installed on my computer and was using the palm calendar as my main calendar.  My calendar and address data won't sync with my palm centro.  I've tried changing the settings of the conduits to 'MacIntosh overrides device'.  I've tried removing and then reinstalling the palm software as well.  Strangely enough, the memos and the tasks did hotsync.  I spent around 2 hours with  palm tech support and nothing is working.  I'm not completely sure, however, that I correctly removed the palm software from my desktop before reinstalling the new software.  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Allen G
    Thank you so much for your reply.  I did speak to a different customer service person at Palm tech support.  I think that the problem was that I had a different username on my device (from a previous test) and after changing that and doing a hard reboot of the phone and also changing the settings on the proper conduits, it is now working.  I had tried changing the settings on the conduits before, but I think that it had synced with the wrong username on the device for some reason.  It now seems to be working.

  • Can't sync address book with .Mac

    Hi. I'm posting a question for the first time. I am currently a trial user of .Mac. I was seriously considering becoming a full member until I ran into problems syncing my contacts. My question is very simple. Is .Mac worth the effort? I've wasted many hours so far (intermediate level user) trying to get the addresses to sync and nothing works. I've also seen that many people seem to be in the same boat. What's the consensus out there? Do the other perks (iDisk, for example) make up for Address Book setbacks and headaches?

    Torero,
    I have found it invaluable, but then, I'm using the iDisk feature as a holding place for client files. For instance, I have a client who lives outside of town in the "country" and has only a dial-up connection to the internet. For her convenience, I put files there for her to retrieve at night, so she can go to bed while they download! Or, a client needs to have a printer receive files and can give them my .mac address to retrieve the files. This is most useful when the client isn't too web-savvy, as this way the printer gets all of the right files. Or my newsletter clients post photos there for me to get so it takes them less time to upload them that way...
    I've not tried to sync to my .mac account but probably will soon, though, and I, too, read these lists first!
    Good luck, but in short, I've found my subscription to .mac to have been very worthwhile for my purposes.

  • HT202297 How can I sync calendar on my mac book with iPhone and iPad mini?

    How can I sync all calendars, like mac book, iPhone, and iPad ?

    Set up the same iCloud account on all of your devices, then turn calendar syncing to On.  This article explains how to set up iCloud on your iOS devices and your Mac: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.  You will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher on your Mac and iOS 5 or higher on your iOS devices in order to do this.

    There is no Info tab in Mavericks
    if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

    My iPod touch bluetooth cannot discover my iPad nor mac air, but it can discover other devices... I don't understand why.  My Mac and my iPad can't discover it, as well...

    Thanks for this... I actually wanted to pair my iPad with my iPod touch so I can use the keynote remote app in my iPod touch to control my keynote presentations... I was able to control my presentations through wifi... I wanted to use the bluetooth since internet connection is quite slow.. The app tells me I can connect through bluetooth with my iPad but sadly, it can't... I've been trying to pair them but the can't discover each other... :(

  • I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

    I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

    Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

  • I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

    I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

    Working on that now.  I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage.  Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

    how can i sync apple tv with my ipad?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The app will find and wake the Apple TV when homesharing is properly configured. You will still need the Apple remote should you ever need to set up the Apple TV again though.
