Music sync problems with ipad after 8.1.3 update

So toady after many weeks of meaning to update my music on iPad, I got round to doing it. I could cry at this moment I had the same problems with my iPod a few weeks back, where I could get so far with putting music on and then iTunes would just wipe what I had just put on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I ended up just giving up with my iPod. I lost over 200 songs, that iTunes decided to wipe off my device, and now I have just lost over 100 on my iPad. Help would be appreciated

Thanks Apple, for breaking my ipad, I suppose I will just have to wait for a 8.1.3 Jailbreak update, have never done it before, but it looks like that's the only possible way to get my ipad working again.

Music app problems with iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1)

So lately I've been noticing the music app has been acting up. A while ago I deleted songs directly off of my iPad and then when I plugged it into a computer, the tracks came back but you cannot play them - they're faded, but you can still see all the information and stuff, I don't know if they're taking up memory or not. I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying. Another thing, sometimes it doesn't let me go to the previous song without putting up a fight. I have to repetitively press previous at least 10 times in a row, very fast in order to go back to just one song. Just a few moments ago, when I clicked on a song it would play a random one, not the one I selected. It did that to every song I selected, and then it suddenly started working correctly again. Lastly, I noticed that I've been missing a few album covers that were once there.
I just want to know if anyone else has been having the same issues at all? Thanks.

I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying.
You don't have to delete music on your computer to remove music from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. If you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes and you have Sync Only Checked Songs and Video selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, you can uncheck the songs in your iTunes library or in the selected playlist in iTunes that you want removed from the iPad followed by a sync.
Any change after powering your iPad off and on and/or after a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
If not and you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Music followed by a sync. This should remove all music from your iPad. Follow this by reselecting Sync Music making your selections below followed by another sync to re-transfer the music back to the iPad.

Foto sync problem with ipad

Hi all
after having synced my ipad all fotos have dropped out of their folders. they were still there, but not in the folders anymore they belong to. after a number of syncs later, all pictures got lost at the ipad (they are still at the pc). How to fix?
Cheers

Look what I just found (could that be the problem) here?:
4. My iPad gives me an error upon sync to my Windows 7 computer.
I learned this one the hard way. Some computers with motherboards based on the Intel P55 chipset and running Win 7 can produce inexplicable errors when syncing both the iPhone and iPad. Motherboards from Gigabyte, MSI and Asus can be affected. The fix must be done at the deepest levels of your computer's software controls, the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) on your motherboard. Tinkering with your BIOS used to be a you-better-know-what-you're-doing proposition, but these days, updating it is generally a simple process that can be done within the Windows OS. Check with the manufacturer of your motherboard or computer to see if they've issued a BIOS upgrade to fix the problem. If not, you might want to give a call to the company's technical support line and give ‘em an earful.

ICal v4.0.4/OSX.6.8 sync problem with iPad 3

I've asked for help on the iPad forum twice now without a single response, so I am thinking that it might be an iCal/iTunes problem rather then iPad/Calendar one!
I'll repeat the basics here and post this link (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21740855#21740855) to my iPad thread post which explains in more detail.
Essentially, syncing between my iCal v4.0.4 (1395.7) under MacOSX.6.8 Build 10K549 and my Calendards under iOS 6.1.3 (10B329) on an iPad 3rd generation is erratic and unreliable. I do not use iCloud and syncing is done via USB cable and iTunes v11.0.2 (26).
What makes it worse is that the symptoms change!
Currently, appointments created on the iPad do not sync across to iCal but appointments created in iCal do sync across to the iPad.
Previously, existing appointments shown in iCal but which are subsequently edited show in iCal as expected but on the iPad as both the old and new entry. Also, when creating an appointment in iCal the edit panel opens in the default calendar which is then changed to the correct calendar and actual data - the default panel and edited data both appreaded on the iPad.
I have recently noticed that iCal periodically, yet rarely, presents a message when opening: Upgrading iCal Calendars and when this has completed, syncing returns to normal. However, I have no idea what prompts that message nor how I could manually start an "upgrading" so that I can force a syncing correction.
Complicated? Well, it is rather difficult to explain what I mean as the problem is so erratic and inconsistent.
I have tried the Apple suggestion here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 and it made no difference whatsoever.
In short, how can I get the iCal and Calendars to sync reliably and acurately?
My forehead is somewhat flattened after I have spent many hours beating my head against a brick wall over this - please help before the wall gets damaged beyond repair!

Well, being a bit short of time (and an alleged alpha type male who always rushes ahead of common sense!) I followed your instructions and added a few thoughts of my own along the way - specifically that iTunes might somehow be implicated in this curious affair as that was being used for the syncing. process.
The result is, I hope you'll be delighted to know, success - syncing is now back to what I would have expected and what nature intended.
For now that is, because there have been false dawns before and I expect the problem to return and haunt me again at some stage.
But next time I'll be ready and will know how to confound and defeat the Apple Agents of Confusion!.
What I did was ...
backed up iCal to the Desktop in case it all went horribly wrong;
sync'd without iCal/Calendars being checked in iTunes and thus all iPad calendars were initialised;
powered off the iPad to remove any "RAM" type data being maintained;
as earlier, deleted the iCal plist and all iCal/Calendar cache files but this time not only from the main user but from my DropBox and MacMate on-line back-ups (but not from Time Capsule as I wanted to have a fall-back position if it all went pear-shaped) by using Spotlight to look for all Calendar cache files wherever they might be. I found a number of "document" files called Calendar Cache 17-22-4n n, one per day, stretching back to 23 03 2013 and these were located in my Dropbox folder. Maybe that's the date when the current errors started to arise? I really can't remember, but why would the iPad be looking for such files in my DropBox folder? Most odd.
reset the SyncServices folder;
deleted the iTunes plist in case the "memories" of earlier appointments were in there - a long shot and probably a useless step, but I couldn't see any harm in doing it;
logged out of my user and then back in again;
relaunched iTunes to recreate a clean plist and then reset my preferences. Quit iTunes;
relaunched iCal to recreat a clean plist and then reset my preferences;
turned on the iPad and connected it via USB lead;
opened iTunes and reset the syncing options which were erased by resetting the SyncServices folder ealrier;
sync'd the two devices. iTunes reported that the iPad was "sync'd with another user" and asked if I wanted to Merge the data or Replace the data on the iPad - I guess that meant all data and not just iCal data as the latter had been cleaned from the iPad in the second stepo above.
Selected Replace data and sync'd;
entered a new appointment on iCal, another new one on the iPad and edited the times of an existing appointment on each device and re-sync'd ...
... and Robert's your mother's sister's brother's other brother! Or Bob's your uncle, for short.
Oh, I missed the final and most important step ...
breathed a sigh of relief and hit the caffeine!
I have no idea of which step is the one which resolved the issue so when (note when, not if) it happens again I'll repeat the process one step at a time (re-syncing each step) to see just where in the process the incorrect data is held.
I'll report back on this thread if I do manage to narrow down the steps to the vital one(s) as I cannot imagine that I'm the only person in the world experiencing this bizarre behaviour.
As I mentioned in other posts, this has happened more than once before but on those occasions it resolved itself without my intervention - save for me uttering a fair number of good old-fashioned Anglo-Saxon Oaths and Curses all the while the syncing was incorrect - and it was only recently that I noticed it corrected itself after an "iCal upgrade". That may have been a coincidence, though, as forcing an upgrade deliberately did not cure it this time.
So I'm pretty confdent it will happen again, but just what triggers this untoward behaviour is beyond me - I can't think of anything that I might do which causes it, nor can I begin to imagine from where the iPad collects the "historical" deleted appointment data which it then displays in addition to the "current" data on appointments. Nor can I think why it suddenly takes it upon itself to sync (albeit incorrectly) from iCal to iPad but not the other way round.
I didn't mention this before, but at one point I discussed this with an AppleCare Level 2 Support dweeb in Cork - and he was totally unable to fix it no matter what he tried, nor could he explain what was happenig and why!
Many thanks for your advice and patience - you may consider yourself a Level 3 (or higher!) surrogate AppleCare Genius!

IPhone Sync Problems with VISTA After iTunes Upgrade to 7.4

Upon upgrading to iTunes 7.4 I was unable to sync my Outlook calendar or contacts to the iPhone. Called Apple Support that they seemed to know nothing about this problem general problem despite all of the discussions on this and many other tech. boards.
After being told remove and reinstall iTunes and Outlook, set-up a new user account, etc... (none of which worked) I finally concluded that perhaps the .pst file being used by outlook was simply incompatible with iTunes for some reason (e.g. unsupported recurring calendar items).
SOLUTION: Create a new outlook .pst data file. Once created, open up that new file along with the defective .pst file. Then, simply change the view of calendars and contacts in your old calendar such that you can see all of the items in a list. Highlight the items you want to keep and simply click-and-drag them to the nes .pst file. This solves all of the sync. problems I had post-7.4 upgrade. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete this painless fix.
This was so annoying for me that I'd be happy to help someone complete this simple task if they need help. < Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >

Then it would appear to be an issue with your router. What router? Model? Is the firmware up to date?

Music sync problem with ios 5 on iPhone 3gs?

I've seen a few other posts with a similar problem, but no solution that has helped so far! I have an iPhone 3GS, and have updated to the new software. My problem is that the music says it syncs, in iTunes it even shows that 4GB of music is on my iphone, but when I open the app it says there is nothing there and that I can buy music from iTunes. Any ideas?

I just had a similar problem with my iPhone 4. Are you using wi-fi syncing or USB? I found that using a USB connection helped. I connected the phone, turned off "sync music," then synced. Turn "sync music" back on and sync again.
Hope that helps.

HT201263 Problems with ipad after installing security update iOS 7.0.6

Cannot get my iPad 2 out of recovery mode after installing the security update iOS 7.0.6
have tried plugging in to iTunes- on computer but doesn't get iPad out of recovery mode! Help?!?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

My problems with WiFi after 10.5.8 update (and how I solved them)

Hi, I also had problems getting online after last Leopard update. First I tried to delete all network related preferences (as posted here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9965959#9965959) but soon the problem reappeared.
I need to connect to 2 different routers, one at home and another at the office. After doing what I said in my previous post (see above), I managed to connect to one OR the other, but not both. I had to delete my home config when I was at the office, and the other way around at home. (i.e. I only could connect when only ONE network was configured in Airport preferred networks).
After some trying, I realized both of my router had their SSID hidden. I then broadcasted my home router SSID and, voilà, everything's fine.
Hope this will help some of you getting around this nasty bug.
Regards.

Had issues with my WiFi router too, after upgrading my MacBook Pro 13" to 10.5.8. Not sure we're talking about the same issues, but my MacBook connected to my WiFi network, had also a IP address, but couldn't connect to any host, nor on the local network neither outside.
After reading your post I tried to remove the network completely from the list of known networks and to set it up from scratch. Seems it works now...
Thanks,
Thomas

Syncing problem with itunes after restoring to a new PC from iPod

My old PC crashed and I copied my iTunes libray to a new PC from my iPod. The libray includes several songs taken from CD's I purchased plus several songs that I had purchased from iTunes. I also "authorized" the new PC. However, when I sync now none of the purchased songs from my new iTunes file will copy back to the iPod. It will only sync the songs from my personal CD collection. I get a message that the iPod is not authorized for these songs. Any suggestions for a fix?

Try deauthorising your PC and authorise it over again, this can sometimes clear a "not authorised" problem: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
You could also have a look at this article: iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Music Store
If you continue to have problems you can email Customer Services from this page, they may be able to help: iTunes Music Store - Authorization FAQ

TS3991 iCloud sync problem with iPad

Hello, I have bought a new iPad (first time) and wanted to sync my presentations currently stored in iCloud using Keynote. With my iPhone, it works perfectly but when it comes to iPad, I see the files but they are not downloading. I see just empty downloading bars, but they stay like that. I also can't delete them because they haven't been downloaded yet
So, I tried deleting them from iCloud and lets see if they are gonna disappear. But no, they haven't. Even though I tried closing/reopening icloud option for Keynote (when i closed it asked me whether you want to delete files or not, I said "yes, delete them") they appeared again.
Currently, I closed iCloud option for Keynote and imported my files using Dropbox, I would be really happy if I can use iCloud service again.
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you tried deleting your iCloud account from your iOS device and adding it back again.

Alpine car head unit syncing problems with ipad 2

I have just purchased an ipad 2 and I love it. I am setting it up in my car to use as a head unit. I want to control my car sound system using my ipad 2 but have it plugged into my Alpine head unit. Here's the dilemma, my head unit has two input settings. 1) An Aux input 2)ipod ready controller - The head unit has a cable that connects to the 30pin ipod doc and then I can control my ipod through my head unit. Here is the model head unit that I have
http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/cda-105/
Now I obviously can use the Aux plug in and that does work BUT the quality doesn't compare when using the ipod controller 30pin cable. The ipad 2 does sync to the head unit but I can now only control my music through the head unit. I want to still have control over the ipad 2. Is there any possible way to make this happen? Is there a setting on the ipad 2 or the head unit that I should be aware about? I really don't want to resort to the Aux just to have control...

I've never used the 105 but have owned several Alpines. They traditionally do not allow iPod/iPad/iPhone control. You would need to get a Pioneer to use the 30pin connector and control is from the i device itself.

Can't Sync phone with iTunes after 5.0.1 update

It appears to do this every time I sync with the icloud : -( I would book a genius appointment. HTH :-)

Problems with iTunes after 4.0 OS update

Hi all, first post here.
I've had my iPhone 8GB 3G since last December. I went to download iOS 4.0 last night, (it DID work, although it took forever). After the upgrade, I cannot download any new apps, or sometimes even get into the App Store at all. Every time I do, I get an "Cannot connect to iTunes" error. I have my password in, full bars of 3G service, but for some reason, I cannot download ANY new apps.
Then, there is a few games that will not even open, some apps will just randomly quit working, etc.
I LOVE my 3G, and have NEVER had a single issue until after I downloaded this iOS 4.0 upgrade.
Any idea on what to do ? I tried shutting my phone off, then on again, to no help.
Oh well, I pick up my new iPhone 4 tomorrow, so my 3G probably knows it's getting put to the backseat once my new phone arrives

Well, a little update. I plugged my phone back into my laptop, went into iTunes again though the computer, and let it sync again. Unplugged it, and the same thing happened again. I shut the phone off, then turned it on again, recharged the battery on the wall charger and it seems to be working OK now.
Every now and then my App Store will not open, and certian apps will crash, but a little better than before.
I'll tell you what, Apple really dropped the ball with the 4.0 update for us 3G users it looks like
