Why does Sync Now no longer work on my iPad

After several Partial backups/syncs, my iPad "Sync Now" is greed out even when I'm connected to power and the wifi network (my  macMini says I'm connected). Both machines acknowledge connection to the wifi network.

Have you tried connecting to your computer and sync using iTunes? If it will sync that way, the means the problem is the wireless sync. One step in the troubleshooting process. You also might want to consider posting here.

  • Why does syncing take so long? 2GB is taking 215 hours

    Why does syncing take so long? 2GB is taking 215 hours

    Thats a fair enough comment, but I would have thought that syncing a mere 2GB of data, 215 hours seems a bit ridiculous, especially as it's not explained very well on the Adobe Cloud exactly what syncing is and how it benefits me. My internet connection is BT broadband and my download speed is 10 Mb/s, upload is 0.261 Mb/s crap I know.

  • Why does "sync now" appear in the menu bar ?

    Why does "sync now" appear in the menu bar ?

    This is actually still relevant if you are syncing with Gmail or Google Contacts or Calendar:

    If you have already removed it, you can still get it back (if you need) following the instructions in the article.

  • Why does Sync take soo long?

    I am trying to sync up a website on a new install of
    Dreamweaver. The total volume of the entire website is just a
    little over 100 MB. At DSL speed, I could simply download the
    entire site with an FTP program like CuteFTP and it would come down
    completely in about 30-40 minutes.
    Dreamweaver has been chugging along for 12 hours now and I
    haven't a clue when it will be finished if ever. Many times when I
    check it, there is a dialog that says something like a file xxx.htm
    could not be downloaded from the server, Skip, Cancel, will
    automatically skip in xx seconds.
    I am not for sure why this message keeps popping up. Is this
    why the download is taking so long?
    I have seen long download times before and never noticed
    those error messages before. I wish there was a setting to make it
    skip all files with errors.
    Why does Dreamweaver take exponentially longer than Cute FTP
    to synchronize my files?

    Adobe's FTP code in DW is sorely lacking. I too found it
    painfully slow. I
    have since gone to a dedicated FTP program and live much
    happier.

  • Why does syncing take SO LONG?

    I'm transferring 1K songs to iPhone and I'm only on number 58 and it's been going on 30 minutes. This is going to take hours! Why does this take so long? Isn't it just like copying to a hard drive? This is crazy!

    make sure that you are connected directly to the main USB source on the computer... the iPhone is finicky about syncing through a hub replicator.

  • Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

    I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
    However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

    No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find 
    your web page very helpful in this regard.

  • Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo

    my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
    i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
    here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
    ipod v.2.3   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

  • Why does my button no longer work in Flash Player 8?

    Hi,
    I have built a site in Flash MX a while ago. Now I’d
    like to upgrade things a bit while testing the new Adobe Flash CS3.
    To be able to use a new function (“anti-alias for
    readability”) the program warns me that “this feature
    is not supported by Flash Player 6. To use this feature, you must
    target Flash player 8.”
    So I change the setting to Flash Player 8, leaving
    Actionscript to version 2.0.
    However, now one of my main menu buttons no longer works!
    When I change settings back to Flash Player 6, things are fine
    again. What am I overlooking?
    Below is the script for the button (which has an instance
    name). Does anything change with the actionscript in CS3?
    Thanks for any advise!
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay("s1");
    on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    gotoAndPlay("s2");
    on (release) {
    _root.Play();

    That's it! It works fine again. Thanks a lot, you made my
    night!

  • HT1665 Why does my ihome no longer work properly since my iPod update

    My ihome no longer works properly since I updated my iPod to the most current software update. Is there a fix?

    Sometimes thisworks:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However,sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you have to wait for either an iOS update or and update to the iHome firmware. Go to iHome's support site

  • Why does my slingbox no longer work on my firefox?

    my slingbox no longer works, even though the slingbox site says it works with firefox 4 or above.

    Because the new iMac don't have an IR receiver for the for the remote.

  • Why does 'Interpret Fields' no longer work in Premiere CS4?

    Although I have moved on personally, my office still uses CS4. For some reason the interpret fields function no longer works, so all my interlaced footage has to be made progrssive to output it!!
    If I load an interlaced clip into the source and view it at 100%, then mess around with the interlacing options...NOTHING HAPPENS!
    I am at my wits end, Adobe no longer support CS4 and re-install didn't help at all.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Jim

    Thanks Ann but no dice.
    I'd already trashed the prefs (in fact I printed them off, ripped them up and burned them for good measure!)
    Media & databases also binned.
    I was thinking it may be a corrupt dll or plugin somewhere, but no idea which one might handle the interlacing?

  • Why does SYNC take so long now? And why does it BACKUP every time i sync?

    Sync takes SO darn long now and when I sync, it does a BACKUP that is causing the sync process to take SO SO SO LONG!
    Whats the deal? anyway to turn OFF the BACKUP option?

    I have half a dozen screens full of apps - some of which will definitely have to go as some sync operations - especially if there are apps being updated for me takes hours. Yesterday it got stuck during an app update over the wifi - and I had to do a restore - the restore took some time - which included restore from a backup from only a few days ago - the following sync has been running for a couple hours now and appears to be only 75% or so complete. rather annoying.

  • Why does Google voice no longer works in Firefox after adding addtional credit but does in Safari?

    I am using Mac OS 10.10 with FireFox 30.0.2 as my browser. I was making calls OK on Goggle Voice through my G-Mail account. when I ran out of credit. I loaded additional credit and tried to resume calling. However, I kept get getting the following error message "Please download the voice plugin to make a call". Following the provided link lead me into a blind ally. Tried downloading a voice plugin and reinstalling, but no luck. Tried closing Firefox and reopening, but again no luck. There are no problems when using Safari as my browser. calls go through just fine.
    Can't figure out why it worked just fine and thenstopped after laoding addtional credit.

  • Why does syncing take so long if I'm not syncing anything?

    I have ATV set up for manual sync and I stream everything - nothing is sync'd to the ATV. When I manually update the sync, the sole purpose is to update additions to the library (video and music). This is a sizable library with 50,000 songs, but only 25 or so video files. The itl and xml files are roughly 100meg, but this should take no time to transmit through my wired network. Why on earth does it take 5-10 minutes to complete a sync if no significant files are being transferred?

    Actually, these sync times are closer to 15 minutes over a WIRED network. Network is lightning fast as far as file transfers from peer to peer, etc, so this is purely an ATV issue. Honestly, though, I'm not really over concerned about it at this point as all the freezing, glitches, etc related to v2 render my two ATV's essentially useless anyway. I wish Apple would do or say something.
