Trouble recognizing and syncing Ipad 64Gig to OS 10.4.11.

After months of normal use, one day I started having trouble syncing my Ipod 64Gig Touchscreen to my Itunes using OS 10.4.11 on my Imac. Can anyone help????

How can I find out if indeed I did update my ipod to iOS 4.2 or later???
Settings -> General -> About; look at the "Version" information
Knowing that I am using OS 10.4.11 on my Imac would the update be allowed to happen rendering my ipod unrecognizable and unsyncable???
If you synched and updated from some other computer, yes. If you used only your current computer with iTunes 9.x, then upgrading to iOS 5 would not be possible and something else is going wrong.
Lastly, what steps should I take to return to a previous iOS version that will work with iMAC OS 10.4.11 using Itunes version 9.2.1(5)???
If your iPod has indeed been upgraded to iOS 5, downgrading is not supported. You would need to upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later so you can run iTunes 10.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

HT5085 I have purchases (music )that is on ipad and plays but is not in ibary on pc as I changed hard drives - how can i get them back to libary to play on pc and sync ipad without losing them ?

I have purchased music that is on ipad and plays but is not in libary on pc as i cleared hard drive to portable backup ?how can i get back ? and sync ipad without losing it al ?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Loaded itunes on a new computer, and synced ipad. Now only those few songs I had on the ipad are in my library. But all of my ipods (3) have my full music library. How do i get all my songs moved back into my library from one of my ipods?

I installed itunes on a new laptop, with Windows 8, and synced my ipad. Now my music library has only those few songs I had synced to the ipad, or roughly a quarter of my original library. My ipods (all three) still have the full library, but everytime I try to sync them, I am asked if I want to delete all of the contents and replace with the (much smaller) itunes library. Of course I don't, but how do I "reverse sync" and replace all the music contents of my library with the contents from one of my ipods?

My second gen iPod touch has a blank screen, and won't turn on or charge in an AC outlet. When plugged into iTunes, it is completely recognized and synced, but the screen remains blank and off. What can I do?

Hello.
I recently woke up this morning to use my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) to find that it was completely unresponsive to both buttons and would not turn on. I had been using it the night before and had not charged it. Thinking the battery was drained, I plugged it into a wall outlet for two hours, and still no sign of life on the iPod. Plugging it into the computer, it immediately showed up in iTunes and synced normally, and even indicated it had nearly a full charge. Still, however, the screen showed nothing. I checked the lock and home buttons to see if it was stuck, but it was not. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Do I need to get my iPod repaired? Any help would be appreciated.
I am running iOS 4.1, and am out of warranty coverage.
Thanks,
- Justin

1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?
2. Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. Do you see the battery symbol?
If the answer is no to both questions, you most likely have a hardware issue--possible bad battery.

New computer, new install of iTunes - back-up and sync iPad?!

I have a new computer and unfortunately the HD in my old one went belly up before I had a back-up of ITunes data. So I have iTunes installed on the new computer and I have logged into my iTunes account. No worries so far. But I'm concerned about back-up and syncing. Back-up I know how to do, although I understand this doesn't back-up everything on the iPad. My concern with syncing the iPad (full of Apps, music, photos etc) is will syncin copy everything from the iPad into my iTunes library or will the empty iTunes library copy to my iPad effectively wiping it?! I'm confused (again!)

Trouble erasing and syncing iphone to new computer?

My laptop was completely reset a few weeks ago and i've only just re done my entire iTunes library ready to erase and sync. I have had lots of apple products before but the 5c is my first iPhone. Previously with the 'erase and sync' function (i've broken a lot of computers and had to reset my ipods so i am very familiar with erase and sync) i would rebuild my entire library to what it was before, so it completely erased everything on the device. I'm not sure how it works with an iPhone but this is what i was anticipating. I had completely done my iTunes library and even deleted photos and apps to ensure there was enough space. However no matter what i do on iTunes, despite it saying it has plenty of space and i am putting less music than i had on the iPhone previously, it keeps saying there is not enough space and i need an additional 2gb. Does this mean it's attempting to put music ontop of what music i already have? or is it simply just some kind of error? i've been losing my mind looking at all the community answers but there didn't seem to be any questions that helped me with my problem. I've spent the past two nights perfecting my iTunes library and i just want my phone back! All i basically want is for all my music on my library to replace what i already have, so i don't know what additional space it needs when i've wiped a lot of things off! Please help!

Set up the sync relationship without syncing ANY music to it the first time. Just let it delete what's on the phone now. (same goes for photos). Once the sync relationship is set up, then go back and select what you want on the phone and re-sync.

My laptop no longer recognizes my iPhone but it appears in Microsoft. However my iPod is still recognized and syncs

A couple of weeks ago my old 3s iPhone stopped automatically syncing with my microsoft laptop however it did appear in Explorer. My iPod synced no problem. I took no action because I thought the old phone may have had a problem and was about to buy a new one anyway. Now have a 5c but it has the same problem.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Did you recently update your iTunes? See this support document for trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes in Windows. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Unable to download newest version of ITunes and sync IPad

I have an old computer that we have used to sync our devices. After the IOS update I tried to sync my IPad2 to the computer however it wants me to update ITunes. This comuter has fallen into disrepair and will not allow me to download the newest version of ITunes. We are going to start using a new computer however there is data on the old computer that is not on the device and we need to sync it before disposing of this computer and moving our data to another computer.
Any ideas on what I can do?

I am pretty sure that you can still but Leopard - maybe even search the online Apple Store.
If it were feasible and affordable, the ideal situation would be to upgrade your Mac - buy a new one with Snoe Leopard on it. That's easier said than done with you having just bought an iPad. But Leopard will be as high as you can go on the Power PC and soon Lion will be here.
I recently (3 months ago) upgraded my Leopard MacBook to Snow Leopard in anticipation of Lion. I love Macs and Apple products, but at some point, as with other tech devices, you have to upgrade to keep up with the technology.
Good luck!

IPod recognized and syncs, but won't allow me to manipulate syncing options

Hi there!
Hopefully someone can help me with this - I want to put a new playlist on my iPod, and currently the syncing options I've selected are to only have it sync with about 5 different playlists on my iTunes. Now when I hook up my iPod via USB, iTunes recognizes it and automatically syncs it with those 5 playlists, but merely states that it is finished and will not allow me to change any options. When I double click on my iPod in the sidebar no screen showing the iPod, how much space is taken up on it, etc. comes up. Thanks for any advice!

Another piece of information that may be helpful is that my computer's options seem to be set in such a way that when I connect my iPod to my computer, iTunes is not the automatic program used. Instead, Windows opens a folder to view the files within the iPod, and to manipulate the iPod in any way I must first open iTunes manually.

Trouble with and older iPad

I have a MB292LL and its Screen zooms in and makes the stuff to big how can i fix it . It even does it when in the lock screen position please help.

I suggest two things:
1. Reset the iPad. Do that by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't solve it, check other parameters in Settings > General > Accessibility.

My ipod spent the night in contact solution and the screen does not function anymore but my computer recognized and synced. Is there a way to have it repaired by apple?

I need help! My ipod is expired on warranty but it has water damage to the screen-- is there a way/is it possible to have it fixed or do I need to get an entirely new ipod? It did sync to my computer when connected but I could not view anything on the screen itself.

is there a way/is it possible to have it fixed or do I need to get an entirely new ipod?
No one here can answer that unless they can physically examine your iPod. Just take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. The repair techs there can answer your questions.

HT1414 if your ipod isnt recognized and synced with this computer, how do you restore it if it is disabled?

I hooked my ipod up to a different computer to restore it because I forgot my password and its disabled but whenever I try it says "itunes could not connect to the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. you must enter your passcode on the ipod before it can be used with itunes." I even restored it and it let me update it but once it was finished, this message would still pop up. Please help ASAP!

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

IPad not recognized or syncing with iTunes

Folks, after the major updates to both iTunes and iPad, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPad.
After reinstalling iTunes it gets recognized and syncs, BUT if I shut iTunes or the computer down it will not get recognized again.
Any thoughts?
Thanx:)

I'm having a similar problem, however, after reinstalling iTunes, I still don't get a sync. I wonder if this could possibly be a software issue with the new iTunes update? Maybe a misconfiguration for the iPad? Although my iPod Touch is not being recognized either....let me know if you find a solution!
