After sync, iPad resyncs (sort of) 10 or more times, stuck in a loop
So, this has been annoying me for ages. I've got several devices, had several iPhones and the procedure shold be:
1) connect to laptop
2) iTunes syncs device
3) iTunes says it's done syncing
4) device goes back to home (or lock) screen
With my iPad, after iTunes says it's done syncing, it gets stuck in a loop, sometimes for minutes at end, where the apple icon plus wait spinner comes up again and again with the sound that normally occurs when you first connect. This *can't be right*. So how exactly can I fix it? FWIW, I am completely up-to-date with OS updates.
Any thoughts?
HI Ian,

After syncing iPad from desktop I can't open my library in my ipad
After syncing iPad from desktop I can't open mu music library in my New iPad
I assume that you are looking in the iPod app. If so, and there is nothing there, then try closing the iPod app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iPod app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iPod app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up. Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer. Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??
I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

Issues with Photo orientation after syncing IPad
Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the ipad changing the orientation of photos following syncing ipad with itunes. What I have been experiencing is that although the photo is in portrait orientation in iphoto on the imac, this same photo after syncing of the ipad with itunes on this same imac machine, the photo when opened up on the ipad is in landscape orientation. Have consulted with senior advisors at apple but not sure if this is an iphoto problem or an itunes/ipad sync problem? seems to me that whatever the orientation of the photo is in iphoto, that when you sync the ipad the photo should transfer with the same orientation. anyone else having this problem?
There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer. -
After sync iPad shows 21GB other
After syncing my 64GB iPad with my computer (Mac) it shows 21GB "Other" when it should be approx 25GB free. When I googled it I was advised to restore from backup which I did but it didn't change. I'm not sure if I can restore to a previous backup (not sure where to look for that on my Mac?
If you have multiple backups in iTunes, they would appear in the drop down menu in the window that pops up when you select the option to restore from a backup. Did you see the drop down menu? Typically it would show the name of your iPad and the last backup for the device.
Besides, you will only have multiple backups if you have restored from backups in the past. Every time that you restore from a backup, another date and time stamped backup is created in iTunes and those backups would be accessible in that drop down menu.
I assume that you have never restored from a backup until just now and since that did not work, restoring to factory settings and then adding your apps and media back onto the iPad is probably what you should try next. -
I had about five playlists on my iPad, plus the Purchased playlist. I synced the iPad to my laptop using the USB cord. After that, I noticed that the only playlist on my iPad is Purchased. Is there a way to get the other playlists back? I checked my iTunes Library on my laptop and the playlists aren't there either.
Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store, they won't show in the Purchased links for redownloading for free - unless the phone was on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it : Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - Apple Support
If you bought them on your old phone then did you copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - or have you still got that phone with the tones on it so that you can do so ? If you have then you can sync them to your new phone.
If you don't have a copy of them in your iTunes library, and your phone wasn't on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -

I can turn the iPhone off by holding down the power button and releasing when i see the blue screen. I have tried to restore the iPhone in iTunes by putting it into recovery mode, but after about 10-20 minutes of it restoring the iPhone suddenly looses connection with the computer and goes back into the loop process. What should i do?
Hello Simmo1997,
Sorry to hear about your issue but let’s see if we can get your iPhone back up in running. If your iPhone is disconnecting when trying to restore then check out the article below to get you started with isolating the issue. Let me know if it gets resolved or if you discover a new symptom.

IOS 8.3 iPad iBook delete books from library right after syncing
Hi,
I recently updated to iOS 8.3 and iTunes 12.1.2.27, after the update i found a strange problem started to occur on my iPad.
After syncing to iPad as usual, when I open iBook app, the books show up for a brief moment and then they start to disappear bunch by bunch until there only around one-third of all my books that I just synced left in the library. I've tried to go to iBook setting and try changing every setting, log out from iCloud on my iPad and reauthorise my MacBook in Mac iBook app. I've synced my iPad for more than a dozen times each time with different setting on iPad and option on iTunes, reset all settings on iPad, etc., nothing seems to fix the problem.
I use my iPad mostly for reading and this is really frustrating. Anyone having the same problem after the update?Hello iZen.J,
If I understand correctly your books are unexpectedly being removed from your iPad when you sync the device to your computer despite resyncing the content, changing sync settings, and resetting all the settings on your iPad. Next I would quit all the running apps on your iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and your computer then test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.
Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

Lots of strange things happening after installing 7.0.2. Mail and Safari routinely quit on me. Keyboard appears for no reason and doesn't go away. After syncing to iTunes on my MacBook Pro one of the bookmark tabs got emptied out. Is there no one cracking the whip anymore at Apple?
Using iCloud to sync bookmarks between your Mac and iPad?
If so, on the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Swich Safari off then back on.
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks.
If you are using iCloud, don't sync Safari bookmarks on iTunes. That could be why the bookmark tabs got emptied out. -
After syncing PC-Ipad my Photo's on Ipad2 are out of order. In the Folders/Albums the Photo's are no longer in the order of (EXIF) dates. I have updated Itunes to 10.6.1.7 and IPad2 to 5.1.

Hello,
After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
3) Deactivating the firewall;
4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
I cannot sync anything at all.
BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
Thanks.
D.No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail. For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud. I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work. When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed. If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers. hmmm. I hope they get this bug fixed some. would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go. Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating. I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.
