Problems when syncing iPad Mini to iTunes

I have just connected my iPad mini to my PC in order to sync with iTunes and got an err message saying "iTunes could not connect due to an unknown error". Can someone help? Has someoned tried to sync an iPad mini with iTunes? Thank you.

Are you using iTunes version 11?

  • When syncing ipad to my itunes i get the message 'sync could not be finished because the sync failed to start' help!!

    when syncing ipad to my pc's itunes i get the message 'sync cud not be finished as sync failed to start' help

    So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
    So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
    Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
    My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID.

  • Problem when syncing: won't update itunes play count/last played etc

    My old 2g shuffle was capable of updating play count/last played and adding songs to the recently played playlist when synced to my itunes.
    Seems my new 3g shuffle can't do this.
    I remember the trick with the 2g was to make sure it was switched off first before connecting/syncing, but I've tried all sorts of different combo's with the 3g and nothing will make it update song stats in itunes.
    How can I make it update my itunes?

    Ok, cool, I figured it out:-) Just in case anyone ever has the same problem, here's a quick rundown:
    Basically it's the same problem you can get with 2nd gen shuffles if you're manually managing songs. So I just unticked manually manage music in the device summary and got the shuffle to sync music from a playlist I created/dumped all the songs I wanted into.

    My ipod touch has been syncing well the past month on the same usb port everytime. Two days ago iv tried to sync my itouch and the problem: "The ipod '-----'s Ipod' was unable to sync. The required disk could not be found. Please! Ive tried everything from restoring, restarting, and resetting ipod. Ive also tried to uninstall itunes and all its product that it came with in a specific order given and then reinstall itunes and my itouch will still not sync! Please! Please! Please! If anyone knows a way to fix this please post a reply!

    I have the same problem
    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1.4 I can no longer successfully sync my 1st gen iPod Touch
    I now have it configured to sync No music, NO podcasts, NO photos. NO movies and when I sync, iTunes seems to "hang" on "Finishing sync". Windows task manager shows no cpu use and "not responding". Removing the iPod seems to wake up iTunes again but syncing seems to be no longer possible
    I have also deleted my iPod photo cache

  • Can't sync iPad mini with iTunes after iOS 8

    iPad is just junk after iOS 8. I was  going to purchase a Mac book air this week, but now I don't know. can someone help me?
    I have tried re syncing several times. i backed up my iPad. The music synced, but most  photos & iBooks haven't. They are in my iTunes i just can't get to them.
    thanks,
    eileen

    Waiting for items to copy generally means there's some corrupted file that's gumming up the works. Often if you be patient and just let it sit and let iTunes do its thing, often it resolves itself.
    I had an issue with the music on my iPod. It took me about half an hour waiting and it resolved itself.
    Or you can try to sync your photos and books a few at a time and see if you can find the file that there's an issue with.

    Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
    There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
    Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
    Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

    My problem - when syncing and error messages  comes up:  iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data."  I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing.  What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

    Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted :  a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone.  I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
    In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them.  It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
    Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

  • Lost my apps when sync iPad with iTunes

    when sync iPad with iTunes, apps purchased in iPad by another account were lost, and the apps can't be seen when check for available downloads. How to get back the purchased apps? thanks.

    If you lost all your apps on both the iPad and the computer, you can download the apps again at no cost. You can search your emails for app store purchases if you can't remember all the apps that you have downloaded.

  • Video Podcasts Not Syncing From my iPad Mini to iTunes for Windows

    Hello all.  I have the iPad Mini, and recently have been downloading my Podcasts there.
    It occurred to me that in case something happens to my iPad, I should have my Podcasts backed up to my computer.  So, i downloaded iTunes for Windows on my computer.  I plugged my iPad Mini into my computer and synced it, so that my Podcasts would sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library.
    I noticed that all of my podcasts did sync, except for the 3 video podcasts I have.  None of the video podcasts synced.
    Anyone know how I can get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library?
    Thank you in advance!

    Just wanted to kick my question back up. to see if anyone had any idea how to get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to iTunes on my computer.
    Audio podcasts seem to be syncing fine.  Just the video podcasts are not.
    Thanks.

    iOS device backups are stored in your iTunes library.
    Move your iTunes library to an external drive.
