Can't sync iPad to windows xp on hp, HELP!!!

This may be long and I apologize. I am new to all iPod, iPad products. Ihave an hp with windowsxp for home use. I downloaded iTunes to my pc, then connected the iPad to my computer. Nothing happened. When I go into iTunes I can find sync iPod, but it is not in active mode,so I can not do anything. I have deleted Itunes and re-downloaded it and still have nothing happening. I can use iTunes on my pc and on my iPad,but just can't sync them. I want to transfer my music from my pc. HELP!!!

What's not showing up? The iPad or the File>Transfer Purchases part? If you can't see the iPad and you are running iTunes 11 you can go to View>Show Sidebar in the iTunes menu in order to see the sidebar and your iPad should appear under the devices heading there.
You can right click on the iPad name and select Transfer Purchases from there as well. Or in iTunes 11 you can go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases from the menu at the top of the screen.
This might be helpful as well.

  • After computer crashed, I can not Sync iPad (1)to 2nd laptop. Help please.

    Ihave 2 laptops.  Main cashed... I now can not 'sync' my iPad to my 2nd laptop.  (Both are Windows 7 boxes)
    I tried logging into my Acct with my Apple ID... still can not sync.
    I HAVE backed it up to the 2nd laptop.   Would wiping and restoring be an option?  Is this possible?
    Help is MUCh appreciated!

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

  • Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

    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.

  • HT4623 can' t sync ipad to pc/ error message says ipad needs to be updated to itunes 11.1/ its new / i just downloaded iso7

    i can't sync ipad to pc/ error message says i need to update to itunes 11.1....i have tried can't seem to/ ipad is 3 months old has iso 7.2 its as updated as know how to update

    Do as it says. In order for iOS 7 to PC sync to work right, you need to have iTunes v11.1.1 on the PC.
    So download it ON THE PC and update:

    Thanks for that, that was my first suggestion but he wants to not email either. His problem is he used his old nokia to do it and it was fine, now anything other than that he thinks is too much hassle.

  • How can I sync iPad with Outlook?

    How can I sync iPad with Outlook?

    Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. Look under 'info' and you may need to scroll down. The option will be there to sync your outlook calendar (or more) with the iPad. Choose what you want and sync to 'save' the settings.

  • Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

    Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

    Video podcasts have to be in SD format, not HD. Make sure you select the proper version for your touch. If you still have problems, you can click on the podcast in iTunes and select Advanced > Create an iPod or iPhone Version. That should convert the video into something that can be played.
    As far as syncing audio podcasts (I do this for video as well), I use the simple is better approach. I set iTunes to sync all unplayed podcasts and I set each podcast in iTunes to automatically delete played podcasts. The iPod is clean; iTunes is clean.

  • Can't sync iPad (iPod, iPod Nano, or iPhone) Windows 7 64 bit

    I have been trying to solve this issue for months and now that I have my new iPad I would really like to get this figured out.
    I have a new Dell running Window7 64 bit. Almost 100% of the time I can't sync any of my devices. They time out, or appear to be syncing but are not.
    I have tried updating drivers, deleting and reinstalling iTunes, de-authorizing and re-authorizing accounts...basically everything I can think of.
    The thing is, all of these devices will sync fine on my Macbook, and my 5 year old Dell running Windows XP.
    Anyone have any ideas? I can provide more details if needed.

  • Can't sync music from Windows PC to iPad Retina

    I've a newly purchased iPad Retina. Unfortunately I can't sync music from my Windows PC to iPad. I tried with the best practice, muisc appears with a cloud circle at the left most column in the device shown in the iTune. I'm puzzled as I'm an user of iPod and have never faced such problem earlier.

    The cloud symbol means your music is in the cloud-not on the PC.
    Download the music onto the PC,

  • Can't Sync my iPhone4 Windows XP

    Can't Sync - iPhone4 - Windows XP - iTunes version 10.4.1.10
    1st AppleMobileDevice seems to run and run and uses up all my CPU capability.
    When I connect and get iTunes to recognize my iPhone4, it starts the Sync process..
    "Backing Up"  (step 1 of 4)   but ....
    it seems to just run forever in this mode, and never backs up .  sometimes iTunes stops working and just sits there.
    The problem has been getting worse since iTunes 10.2
    I have no other programs running, just iTunes.
    Basically I can no longer Sync my iPhone4, can't add new APPS, or rearrange the ones that are already on it.
    Someone Please HELP !!!
    Thanks!   Doug

    Hi Doug.  I had the same problem so took my iPhone to Apple Store for Genius appt.  Whilst there, it synced perfectly - the chap thought it might be my wifi settings at home interfering with iTunes.  So when I got home I disabled wifi signal and hey presto - it synced fine!  Hope this works for you.

  • Can I sync ipad to iphone so my games are up to date with iphone?

    can I sync my ipad2 to have the games reflect where I am on the Iphone games

    The iPad is a computer and a very good one at that. You can mix and match syncing from both an iPhone and an iPad, but you will need another computer or Mobile me to achieve it.
    iPhone apps will synch to iPad but not necessarily the other way around. Many apps that came over via the iPhone are sized incorrectly because of the screen size. Some have a 2x zoom, but the resolution is poor.
