IPad 3 won't sync after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3

Since upgrading to iOS 8.1.3 my iPad will not sync with iTunes. I have left it attached to my computer overnight while the sync wheel keeps spinning, to no avail. iTunes says there is 900mb of space left, while the iPad says 37.0 GB of space remains. Any help would be appreciated.

When you look at the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes when the iPad is connected to your computer, the iPad is selected and iTunes is running, what does the storage for "other" read? How much of "other" data is there?
Have you tried ejecting the iPad, quitting iTunes, reboot the computer and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then try again?
You could also try updating iTunes. It looks like you are running an older version.

Itunes won't sync after upgrade to iOS 5

I've looked around here and most people are dealing with error codes and such but my upgrade appeared to go flawless. But when it was complete and the iPad 1 came up it had the folders I created post upgrade but none of the Apps. I checked iTunes and they're all there even the 78 books I had in iBooks but none of them are on the iPad. I've tried syncing several times, even done a complete restore but I can't seem to get the stuff from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to the iPad. Anyone have an idea? Am I missing something basic?

Gatineau,
d6d24r94's comment actually worked for me-- I also found another website displaying pretty much the same idea-- it wasn't exactly as straightforward as "step one, step two, step three..." because I ended up doing pretty much the same steps in various orders before it finally took hold.
For that technique to work, you've got to do it individually, as in ONLY sync the apps, then ONLY sync the movies, then ONLY sync the music, etc...
I think it has to do with the iphoto and other apps that need to have their databases updated to the "new" database style for IOS 5-- I wasn't experiencing problems with iPhoto so I didn't consider it as a source of the problem, but I derived a drastic solution that actually did work from a website describing how to delete the iphoto index so that it will rebuild itself.
the solution that really worked for me was to (I use OS X, not sure what to for windows)
1. Quit iTunes
2. Delete the itunes library files. Not the actual data, but all the helper files in ~/music/itunes such as "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Library Extras.itdb"--- I trashed them all but didn't empty trash just in case. Again- I didn't erase any actual MEDIA or APPS, I just erased those little xml and database files.
3. Open iTunes again and tell it to look in my home directory for media.
This solution is drastic-- it forces iTunes to think it has nothing whatsoever. So, for that particular iPad and iMac, I had to rebuild the entire music library from scratch-- luckily on that computer it was all of an 8GB music collection. The music files were still there, so it was just a matter of iTunes finding them again and then processing all the album artwork and genius...
next, I had to get my apps and books and other purchases from the store back. Just use the iTunes Store side tab within iTunes, sign in to your account if you're not already, and click the "Purchases" link, which will bring up all your purchases and allow you to download them again.
Like I said, this is DRASTIC. I don't know if it's the RIGHT way or if there is a better, easier, way-- but these steps worked for me. the iPad now syncs just fine, seems to have no issues whatsoever, and even seems to be doing the auto-sync via WiFi just fine...

IPad mini retina. After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem!

After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem

I am having a similar experience. Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating. I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth! My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless. I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade. After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening. I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there. Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!

I Updated my iPad 2 to ios6 then day iOS6 was released, ever since then i have been unable to connect to the wifi. I've reset the network setting and the wifi works for about 5 minutes until i go on any apple app ( itunes, app store, maps etc).

Reluctantley i updated my ipod touch 4 gen to see if iOS 6 was the problem and I now have the exact same problem on my ipod touch. Someone Help!!

4s won't charge after upgrading to iOS 7 :(

My phone was FINE after upgrading to iOS 7 last night. Today when I went into work, it was also fine and charged correctly.
It wasn't until after I got the "do you want iphone to trust this computer?" and I said NO.
I wasn't sure what this meant, I just clicked no because I didn't want my phone to sync to to my work computer.
Since then, I have not been able to charge my phone. I know there are issues with other brand cables, so I waited till I got home to use my official apple cable. Doesn't help at all.
I went to the genius bar and he looked at my charging port and said "well there's nothing stuck in there or broken..." We tried 2 of their charging cables there. We tried restarting the phone, we tried resetting and restoring the phone. NONE of these options work. I am dwindling on 6% right now.
The only weird thing is, when I power my phone off, and plug it to a power source, my phone turns on! I get the apple symbol and it boots up. So it does recognize SOMETHING. However, my laptop wont acknowledge that something is plugged in... and now apparently the only option is to get a new phone.
Any ideas? The guy who helped me doesn't believe that iOS 7 could cause charging issues, but there's no other explanation! I was at work all day today, and nothing has changed, I didn't drop it or anything. THe only thing I could think was diff was iOS 7 and that weird "trust computer" popup.
Help! I don't want to upgrade now!

Jefisher - good luck with that. I went to the genius bar and we went through the motions of powering on/off my phone, restoring it and eventually resetting it to factory settings and none of those solutions worked. Unfortuately my warranty already expired so they suggested getting a new phone / upgrading.

My iPad Won't Rotate after updating to iOS 6.

After updating to iOS 6, my iPad2 won't auto rotate. I already checked if the rotation was locked, so this isn't the case. I tried restarting it and rebooting it. The only possible way to rotate the screen is to turn off the iPad, rotate the iPad, then turn on the iPad again. Please help me, I don't know how to fix this problem.

I had same problem post upgrade to iOS 6.1.3
I went to
[Setting] [General] and set the
[Use_Side_Switch_To] option from [Rotation ...] to [Mute]
Checked switch by manually flipping the button on iPad cover (next to volume) back and forth and seeing images of mute actions appear sceen centre
But on checking further not all apps rotated automatically ... so ...
Manually closed all open apps by:
Screen button x2 in quick succession bottom bar appears with all active apps
Touch and hold on of these apps in this bar untill the x appears on them and the wobble
Close each one down by touching x
Then
Rebooted ( ... just like a Microsoft machine :-)
Now all working working ... boy you really miss that feature when its not functioning ...
Dont know if all steps relevant but this is what worked for me ...
... best of luck

HT1947 Remote app on iPad no longer rotates after upgrade to iOS 7

I love Remote, use on both my iPhone and iPad. However, after upgrading the iPad to iOS 7, the app no longer rotates to horizontal view - in fact, it doesn't rotate at all. Bad enough no horizontal, but to not rotate at all means that I can't orient my iPad angled up, while having the power cord plugged in at the bottom?
Seems so strange that this would be changed - why? Maybe I need to re-install?
Help.
Thanks,
Bruce

IPhone won't sync after upgrading to Leopard

My iPhone won't sync, or even show up in iTunes, after upgrading to Leopard. I've tried restarting my Macbook Pro, trying different USB slots, closing and reopening iTunes, everything. Has anyone else had this problem??
I've tried everything apple suggests:
1. The iPhone battery might need to be recharged. For information about charging iPhone, see "Charging the Battery" in the iPhone User's Guide.
2. If that doesn't work, disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPhone to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
3. If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
4. If that doesn't work, restart your computer and reconnect iPhone to your computer.
5. If that doesn't work, download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.

You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Follow the link below for info on how to do this.

HT204409 WI FI won't connect after upgrade to IOS 7.1

I upgraded to 7.1. Now my phone connects to my Western Digital MyNet900 but will not go to internet. Have tried WPA and WPA\WPA2 and WPA2 (personal) encryption but nothing works. WMM is enabled. I have an Amped Wireless access point AP300 set up and can connect on it for the internet. I was going to internet through WD router prior to upgrade. HELP PLEASE

Update: Again... I upgraded to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone5s 32 G last night and after the upgrade...no WiFi. I attempted many of the fixes on this and other threads but what finally seems to have solved the problem was for me to:
1.     Back up and sync my phone to my Win 7 computer.
2.     Select "Restore iPhone" to factory defaults, using the computer iTunes interface (as opposed to selecting "Full Reset" in Settings on phone).
3.     Restore the back-up from the computer.
I Now have normal WiFi functionality.
BTW...it also eliminated 8 or so Gigs of "Other" data previously noted on my Summary page for the phone in iTunes.

Ipad won't charge after upgrade to 7.1.2

Apple recommened install update. After the update started having problem battery won't charge. I took it to the apple store last July 13 they did hard reset it work for one day and went back to the same problem won't charge. Please help

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Ipad 2 Wifi issues after upgrading to ios 7

I live in a small house, 750 sq ft area (30 x 22). Ipad wifi was working fine in all the rooms before upgrading its iOS to 7. After ipad2 iOS was upgraded to iOS 7, wifi now works in the room where the Wifi router is located. But does not receive Wifi signal in any other room. I tired everything that has been suggested in the forum - like changing the router settings (channel, security etc),playing with ipad2's wifi, etc. etc. But to no avail!
Clearly the bug in iOS 7 has caused this issue! How does one log this issue with Apple tech support team so they can rectify this issue in iOS 7 patch? Also, please let me know if I should be trying anything else. Thanks!

I have exactlythe same issue. Have had ever since the upgrade to iOS 7. It's nothing to do with the router. It has to be a bug in iOS 7. Question is, would upgrading to iOS 8 help at all??? Anyone done this.?? I used to love my iPad and it was never out of my hand. Now I just hate it and use my Kindle Fire all the time instead. I used to pick up wiif signals across the street. Now I have to be sitting on a router to connect.

Ipad mini keeps restarting after upgrading to ios 8.1

after i upgrade to ios 8.1, my ipad mini WI-FI keeps re-starting. i already reset everything and set up as new still got the same issue. how to fix this.

Hello wabbiittt,
If your iPad is restarting randomly, even after an iOS upgrade, please follow the steps in this article.
iOS: Device unexpectedly restarts, displays Apple logo, or powers off
Symptoms
See what to do if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch either unexpectedly displays the Apple logo while you're using it or appears to restart.
Resolution
Make sure your iOS device is up to date. If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Best Regards,
Nubz

Ipad won't start after updating to ios 8.1.3

My iPad was working without issue prior to updating to IOS 8.1.3 yesterday. After updating, not only would the ipad not start, it produced intermittent tones. The tone heard when device is plugged into an outlet for charging.
I attempted to turn the device off but it would not respond. Afterwards, a reboot was attempted numerous times by holding the home and sleep buttons down simultaneously. Once the Apple logo appeared the buttons were released, the logo disappeared but the device remained dormant.
While connected to iTunes and emitting the connection tones, periodically the splash screen would appear momentarily then turn off. I was able to swipe the screen on one of these occasions. The device worked properly until it was turned off after use at which time it would not turn on again and remains unable to turn on. It does not respond to attempts to turn it off or rebooting.
Prior to the update I did backup the device in case something like this would occur. Since I appear to have exhausted all my options to get the device to work, I feel the only remaining option is to restore it to factory default. I would appreciate advice from anyone who may either have experienced this same issue and found a resolution, or can provide thoughts on how I should proceed please.
If I proceed with a restore to factory default followed by a restore of the most recent backup, will I lose any data during this process? This will be my first time to erase a device so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I would, of course, prefer an alternative resolution. Thanks in advance for your help.
tony

Hello, Tony.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPad no long starts after an update and you have a backup for your iPad. It sounds like you will need to restore the device to factory and then will have the option to access your backup after the restore complete. The only information that should be missing would be after the backup was completed until the device is restored. I have included the steps for going through this process in the articles below.
