Ipad (3rd gen) wont sync

Hello,
Well, i just bought an Ipad 3rd gen (my first Apple product) and i'm trying to sync it with itunes (USB).
I have Windows 7 64 bits with the lastest Itunes available. When i plug the Ipad, it shows correctly in Itunes.
However, when i'm trying to sync pictures or music, Itunes says everything is ok but there's nothing on my Ipad afterall.
When i'm trying to sync apps downloaded with Itunes, it says that this app cannot be synchronized
Tried USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ... same problem
Does anybody knows anything about issues with USB ? (maybe somekind of controlers are not well supported)
FYI :
Ipad 3rd gen
OS : Windows 7 64bits
Mobo : Gigabyte X58 UD7 (ICH10R)
Lastest drivers available
Lastest Itunes available
USB cable provided with Ipad
Thansk in advance

Might want to try and restore the device and see what happens. Also are you connected to iCloud which backs up all your files? If so might want to try and toggle with that. As for the music n stuff, is iTunes actually showing anything being synced on the top bar (Where is shows the syncing status of your device)?. If nothing seems to be done, or the process is completed very quickly, you might not have selected anything in the toption of iTunes.
Not sure how much i helped, but hope you can get it up and running!

  • IPad (3rd gen) deletes synced movies

    I have to re-sync the same movies every day to my iPad.  They keep deleting from my iPad.  Anyone have the same issue or can suggest a solution?

    I hope this helps.    Not the easiest fix, but I suspect it will solve the problem.

  • Music missing artwork after syncing with iPad 3rd Gen

    All the music on my MBP has artwork with them. Whenever I copy music from my MBP to my iPad 3, only 10% of the artwork shows up on my iPad. Anyone ideas why this is happening or how to correct it? Kinda ugly looking at music and only a handful of songs have artwork for them. I spent A LOT of time getting all the artwork for them so it's kinda annoying this is happening. I've done the "Get Album Artwork" bit already on my iPad however that doesn't work at all. Any ideas.

    AHA! Solution!
    At the bottom of the Music screen in the ipad (3rd gen) there are a set of buttons named store, playlists, songs, artists, albums, and more. Press the more button, then select shared, then select your computer in shared (I am sure home sharing must be on). All of the album art showed up immediately.
    Oops, No solution... only the homesharing screen, albums in ipad not affected.

  • Unable to use iCloud Backup on iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1

    Hi, I have been unable to use iCloud Backup for several weeks on both my iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1 & my iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1
    iCloud Backup is set to On on both devices. It did backup once or twice, since I installed the iOS 6.0.1, then it stopped working altogether.
    I hope someone can help me.

    I know. In my post I said ....
    "remove the all day event or change the event from all day - in whatever application on your computer that you sync the calendar from and them sync again to remove the event from the iPad calendar."
    You will need to do this from your computer. If you do not use your computer to sync with iTunes, you will not be able to get around this.
    However, I should have asked of this only happens when you are trying to view events in March, so maybe I misled you. I apologize. Try this now. Quit the calendar app completely in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Can Apple offer cheap upgrade plans to people who bought iPad 3rd Gen within 3 months to upgrade their device to the 4th gen?!

    I decided to get iPad 3rd gen because my iPad 2 wasn't working so well after using it for 1+ year and I really need iPads for work. I got it not more than 2 months ago. I felt being cheated. Although Apple didn't promise the one year thing, but 7 months is just too ridiculous. .
    I know it is impossible to ask Apple to replace our 3rd gen with 4th gen, but if they offer some upgrade plans, I would be more comfortable with this. If so, I hope that they wouldn't charge more than USD $150 to upgrade.
    Trading in old devices is important to me because I have no income as a student but I just have to get newer devices to make sure they have a higher performance. Dissolving the iPad 3rd gen is not a good idea since the resell value will decrease instantly.
    Other than that, my iPad is a bit laggy comparing to what I felt when it was on iOS 5, they shouldn't make a new device to solve this problem, they should improve their software
    In the incident, Apple is just being irresponsible to long term supporters like me, I hope that they will provide us satisfying solutions.

    You can check macrumors, there were rumors and they were pretty much squashed the begininng of October, so waiting a month, sure. Usually mac is transpereant enough that its knwn 3-4 months ahead of time that a refresh is coming, I site the release of th Ipad 2 gen i was getting for my daughter, we waited until her bday and got it in March at launch. Not this time. This was a curve ball, ezpecially 4 months ago when I bought mine. I have called Apple everyday, wil call again today to vent frustration, and I am noticing some slowed response on my ipad 3 and would assume why the fast refresh, i have been asking for a path to upgrade for $100 with a well tken care of ipad 3, under apple care etc. Don't know if I will get it, but wont get it for sure if I dont ask. I already was issued a $100 credit on another purchase, which I may be using soon.

  • Multiple apps closing on iPhone 4s, but working on iPad 3rd gen

    It was just this morning when I realized that I cannot play Diamond Dash on my device, I closed the app and tried to open it again, but still it closed on me. So, I deleted the app, and reinstalled it on my iPhone via the iTunes store, but the problem persists. Lastly, I did a reset (power button + home button for 10 secs) and it's still the same.
    I have also added 15 more apps today, and 6 of them are closing on me, (plus Diamond Dash) which were all working on my iPad 3rd gen :( what am I missing here, please help xs

    In addition, my 4s has a greyed out wifi (thanks to the update) that is why I use my iPad to download large files from the app store. I just sync both devices on iTunes so that I can transfer purchases. I thought by doing this might have caused the issue, but earlier I did try downloading 2 free apps using data, one worked and the other closed on me.
    I really need an advise as we don't have any legit service centers around. pretty please *beautiful eyes*

  • IPad 3rd gen wifi & external bluetooth gps receivers

    Has anyone had success connecting the iPAD 3rd gen wifi to external bluetooth gps receivers, other than the XGPS150 or Bad Elf?

    I had the same issue.  I came up with a work around until they get it fixed.  
    I also attempted to sync selected folders from my computer to my Ipad 3.  Only 3 of the 8 picture folders would sync to my new Ipad 3. . I had same issue as noted above. The sync would start and then stop. The selected folder which was syncing would disappear from the Ipad 3. .
    My work around:  I created a new folder in my Pictures file, copied and pasted the photos in new folder.
    I entered the Pictures folder on my computer, I made a new folder and named new folder IPAD3 ABCD
    ( ABCD was specific name of contents in folder), I then copied photos from original file that would not sync and pasted them in the new folder named IPADABCD.  I did this one at a time.  I went back and re-synced one new folder at a time.  I only had to redo the above list one time for one folder that did not sync after doing this.  But all my photo folders are now on Ipad3. 
    Hope this helps.

  • IPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off.

    I have a iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off. 

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • How do i delete photos on ipad (3rd gen) and keep on pc

    How do i delete photos from my ipad (3rd gen) but keep safely on my pc and how can i be sure all photo's / videos taken on my ipad are stored in iCloud??

    don butler,
    Sync them off maybe a little confusing because there is no menu selection or button that says, "Sync Off Photos"
    When you synced with iTunes you went to the photos tab and selected albums to copy to your iPad.
    To remove whole albums, start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab.
    Then DESELECT the albums you no longer want on the iPad.
    Clicking on Apply or Sync will then remove the unwanted albums.
    To remove only certain photos that are inside albums is a little different.
    Before using iTunes on your computer find the folder or album that has the photos you want to remove. Then move those photos to some other location on you computer or, if you want, delete them entirely.
    Finally start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab. Make sure all of the albums you want on the iPad are still selected. This includes the albums that you just edited by moving or deleting photos. The click on Sync or Apply.
    The sync process wil examine each album, compare it to what is on your iPad and make the necessary changes. If you added photos to the folders on your computer they will be added to your iPad. Conversely, if you deleted photos from folders on your computer they will be removed on your iPad.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes

    iPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes.  Done 2 resets, used original charger and cable and bought brand new charger and cable from Apple store.  Nothing works.  This started yapping after the iOS 7.1.1 update.

    Common troubleshooting is to try a different USB port and to give your ipad a reset. (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot)
    You can also try on a different computer to see if it's the ipad or the computer.
    When you charge, do you try to charge plugged into the wall? that's the best way to charge.
    If you go through all that and it's still not working hten it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out
