Apps won't all sync to new iPad
Bought new iPad 3 wanted to sync everything over from the old iPad 2. wanted everything to be EXACTLY the same from my old iPad 2. Instead, some apps failed to be transferred due to the computer not being authorized - I bought everything from the same iTunes account!!
AND, restoring from backup of the iPad 2, some apps failed to sync over to the new iPad 3. Thus I've deleted old Apps that I've got on my iTunes library so I can transfer all the purchase like a clean slate to the library from my old iPad 2 so it will go exactly as it is to the iPad 3. Yet it's not working - my old apps keep popping up in the sync page which have been entirely annoying. I've been doing the same thing over and over for the entire day now and it's been a frustrating process. How can Apple expect us to continuously purchase their new products if the migration process is so frustrating and time-consuming? This is NOT the way to go, Apple.
If anyone can provide a solution I would be so grateful.
your screenshot didn't load. Why aren't you using Time Machine, or Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner? That is a better way to do it in the future.
I suspect you forgot to back something up. But what is the error? We can try and help.
Under itunes preferences, under the devices tab, does it list any devices? If so, you have backups and may be able to do a restore of the ipad.
But don't do it yet.
Post back.

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?
My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.
If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

How do you sync all photos to new ipad
how do I sync all photos to new ipad? I did a restore to copy apps and setting. Then did a sync. Music is synced and all apps appear to have their data. But there are only 2 photo albums.
All photo albums have to reside in iTunes to be synced. They are then synced up to your IOS device when you slect apply..
You need to go to your iTunes device photo tab and select the Itunes photo albums you want uploaded and then tap apply in the lower right corner.

Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac. I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network. While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs.
There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline? Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -
How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Macbook says no update available.
" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -
Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 (or even an ipad 3 if it ever gets released !) with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?
ThanksYou will be able to restore from the backup of the old iPad and then sync all of the other content but you may need to update a bunch of apps in order for them to work with iOS 5 - but yes - you can use that backup.

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.
Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

Itunes ejects Ipod before syncing (after new Ipad connected)
I don't know if anyone can help me, but I recently added (synced) a new IPad to my Itunes on my Macbook.
Since then, when I try to sync my Ipod, Itunes either doesn't recognise my Ipod, or starts syncing bt then comes up with a message "disc not ejected properly" and then stops the sync entirely without anything being transferred to my Ipod.
Any ideas?trying to get back on topic re the original post -
i.e. I also have an iPod (classic 160) that now will not mount properly. In both regular mode and in DISC MODE it shows up momentarily on my Apple desktop, but as soon as iTunes loads, the iPod ejects automatically from Finder. So it never appears in iTunes, and therefore cannot be restored via iTunes; and the iPod icon on my desktop is inaccessible for the few seconds that it remains "mounted".
Tried another cable; switched from powered hub to the USB2 port direct from my MacBook Pro; reinstalled iTunes; checked Software Update.
Resetting the iPod via the usual hold Menu and Select works, but this has no effect on the issue - it only resets my iPod settings so my menus get screwed up.
Switching to Disc Mode just renders the iPod itself inaccessible - it still doesn't mount so I can't check the drive contents to see if the files have been corrupted etc.
Any ideas? The iPod still plays, so it's not like the hard drive is dead . . . but I can't sync it since it won't load in iTunes before it auto-ejects.
The problem became evident after iTunes stalled during iPod sync - wheel of death. After trying to wait it out over an hour, I had to Force Quit. I then hit restart, but the laptop stalled (blue screen of death, grey progress wheel of death) and I eventually had to force reboot using the power switch to shut down. After that, the ipod wouldn't mount.
TIA

Can anyone tell me how to sync my new ipad with my keyboard as it doesn't recognise it even after I put in the code given when trying to pair it. I have tried to reboot the ipad but that didn't work either. Very frustrated. ,
It was given to me by someone that spilt a drink on it and they dried it but went and bought a new one. It finds the ipad but won't sync once I put the code in. I have looked at support etc and they recommend unsnycing from the original computer. But as I have no access for this is there any way I can reset the keyboard to pair my ipad?

How do I transfer ipad apps to a new ipad. I want to sync my new ipad to my itunes account, but I can't seem to figure out how.
Your content should reside in iTunes, connect and sync. Otherwise you will need to make sure your 1st gen iPad is backed up to iCloud and then restore from this backup when setting up the new iPad.

HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?
Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?
Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

I'll give your suggestion a try. It's strange I only have a small portion of my iTunes libary on my iPad. I understand that the free music may not appear, I would just like all of iTunes music there.
