Can't sync since last iTunes and IOS update

I have an IPAD 4 and a MAC Mini Mid 2011. I upgraded to IOS8 and ITunes 11.4 almost at the same time.
It used to sync without problem, but since the upgrade it says " It's not possible to sync the IPAD XXX because these computer doesn't have authorization for the times acquired in this IPAD". Then the obvious but suggested solution is "Go to the Itunes store menu and "authorize this computer".
But, it didn't work.
I just have one Apple ID, I don't use multiple usernames.
I also have an Iphone 4s (upgraded to IOS8 too) and it does sync with the same MAC Mini, by cable and wirelessly.
What I have done so far is:
1. Deauthorize and reauthorize... didn't work
2. Reinstall Itunes.. .didn't work
3. Reset network settings in the IPAD.. didn't work (but it did fixed another issue, related to wireless sync)
4. Restore the IPAD...didn't work
So I'm running out of options. Thanx in advance for your help.

Thank God I'm not the only one who got this problem.
iPad mini wi-fi model.
So how many people here that can't sync and stuck at this.

  • Did the itunes and ios updates and phone wont work.

    PLease help.
    I did the itunes and ios updates and it came up with something about apple recovery mode.
    The phone will not work and its not being recognised in iTunes.
    What do I do? I think I may have made it worse because I've tried to reinstall the previous version of itunes as was suggested elsewhere.
    Thanks

    Any specific error messages?
    Try switching off your seurity software and restore the device http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    NB: using that article will erase everything so make sure you have a backup
    try restoring on another computer if this fails, and if that doesn't work either, the device needs hardware repair.

  • No app store present on iPod Touch 4th gen and can't sync apps in iTunes, tried restoring/updating

    I've tried everything I know to fix this problem with no luck so far, I'm hoping someone can help. Note that iTunes has been updated to the latest version (and my friend's computer is running Windows 7, if that helps at all).
    My friend has an iPod Touch 4th generation. A while back he asked me to help him get apps onto the iPod, and I discovered that the App Store on the iPod itself was nowhere to be found, nor can he remember ever having one. In addition to this, he can't sync apps onto the iPod from within iTunes - the option to sync in the apps tab is greyed out. The music/movies/etc. sync just fine, however. At the time, his iPod had iOS 4.1.
    After checking for parental restrictions in his iTunes and the iPod, I found that his iPod has a restrictions password set, which he doesn't know. His parents have no memory of setting restrictions and don't know the password, either.
    I read online that the only way to remove the restrictions password is to restore the iPod, and since this seemed to be a good idea anyway due to the odd issue with iTunes refusing to sync apps, we restored the iPod and updated to iOS 5.1 today. Unfortunately, the App Store is still nowhere to be found, and we still can't sync apps in iTunes. The iPod still claims a restrictions password has been set as well.
    I have checked and double-checked that no restrictions are set in iTunes preferences. My friend created a new iTunes account, so that shouldn't be the problem. While we're hoping to get both iTunes sync and the iPod App Store app working properly, right now he just wants to be able to get apps onto his iPod.
    Does anyone have any ideas why his iPod didn't come with an App Store app, why it still doesn't have the Store after restoring, why iTunes won't sync apps, or why the restrictions password is still set after the restore? I've honestly run out of ideas as to how to fix this.
    Before I posted this, I did a little more looking online about the restrictions password, which is apparently restored along with a backup. Neither of us were present during the restore (we had to leave for a couple of hours after the restore had been started), so I'm only asking this because I don't have his iPod or computer with me at the moment to test it myself - is there a way to manually cancel restoring from a backup during the process? If so, I need to restore the iPod a second time.
    In the meantime, any ideas about my other three questions?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Edit: His iTunes account is authorized, by the way.

  • Can't sync iphone in iTunes and can't connect to wi-fi

    Since my last update to IOS 5.1.1, I can no longer connect to wi-fi via my home router, nor can I back up my iPhone in iTunes.
                Regarding the wi-fi connection, I receive a message stating that the wi-fi password is incorrect.  I have tried multiple times to carefully enter the correct password, but keep receiving the same error message.  We have two other iPhones and an iPod Touch in our household and all three of them have no trouble connecting to our home wi-fi using the very same password.  My iPhone does, however, connect to other wi-fi systems, so I know it is not a hardware problem. I have tried resetting network connections, but that did not rectify the problem.
                Regarding backing up my iPhone in iTunes, I keep getting a message that "an error occurred", but no other significant information.  I tried to update iTunes from version 10.6.17 to 10.6.3, but the update kept failing.  I eventually removed the iTunes software from my machine and re-loaded it from scratch.  This worked and I now have iTunes version 10.6.3.25 on my machine.  When I try to sync my iPhone, however, I still get the message stating that "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Steve's iPhone"  because an error occurred."  The progress bar across the top of the screen appears to indicate that all 8 steps of the sync process continue to complete, but when finished, the message at the bottom of my screen still reads "Last backed up to this computer: 6/1/2012 11:57 AM".
                There was a diagnostic option which eventually indicated that a "Secure link to iTunes Store failed".  I then tested this by searching the iTunes store and downloading a new app - which worked just fine, but for some reason I still can't sync my phone.  There was an additional option to print out the details of the diagnostic test, which I did.  The following are the only two lines in the detailed diagnostics that seemed to indicate any sort of problem:
    "Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was unsuccessful"
    "The network connection was refused"
                Ironically, the last line of the diagnostic printout reads: "Sync tests completed successfully".  Unfortunately, I still can't sync or backup my phone.
         Thank you,
         Steve

    Also, what version of iTunes are you running?

  • Issues syncing apps between itunes and ios devices - changed itunes store

    I have had an iTunes store account for several years with the same apple ID.  Initially I connected that apple ID to the Belgian store and about 2 years ago I changed to the UK store, but still with the same apple ID. 
    Since I have several IOS devices, I prefer to use iTunes to update any apps I have downloaded and then sync them onto all my IOS devices using my local network rather than downloading accross the internet each time.  When I view the apps in my library it says a number of updates are available (right now there are 9).  but when I click on the button to go to the store and retrieve the updates - itunes store says "No Updates are currently avaialable" and suggests I sign in with a different ID.  However, I don't have a different ID. 
    This seems to be that any of the apps I puurchased in the Belgian store prior to switch to the UK will not update.   For a while, as a resolution, I was able to download updates on one or more of my IOS devices sucesfully whicever store I purchased them from and then when I synced back to iTunes, it updated them in the library.  Wasn't very pretty but it worked. 
    Now after upgrading to iTunes 11, although I can still update the apps on my IOS devices, when I sync it no longer transfers the updates to the iTunes library - I haven't had iTunes 11 long enough to determine if it's related to the same store switch issue or if it's a general problem.
    Anybody got any similar experiences or solutions to consolidate all my purchased apps (which ever store) into one, so updating is transparenet again?

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • Fried hard drive. can I sync ipod to itunes and resurrect former itunes?

    The hard drive on my old computer fried taking with it my itunes library. Is there a way to sync my ipod with my new computer and resurrect all of the songs in my library to itunes?

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Can't sync Calendar after Itunes 8.1 update

    I am getting an error message since updating to 8.1 an hour ago. It simply says there is an error trying send data from the calendar on my Iphone. Anyone else with this problem and/or any suggestions. I don't use the calender much, but it is irritating getting a little pop up box when you're used to perfection : ) ! ?

    Just to clearify- I am unable to complete a sync. Where the sync hangs is on the contact section. In addition to the reload of i-tunes and restore of phone and reset of phone I have tried to uncheck contact sync under i-phone settings and this did not help.

  • Outlook 2007 after updates to iTunes and iOS: Task 'iCloud - Sending' reported error (0X80004005): 'The operation failed.'

    Since updating to the latest iTunes and the latest iOS, I am now unable to send calendar invites, which is what I use to keep my personal calendar, iCloud calendar, Thunderbird calendar, and two different work address calendars in sync.
    I've traced the problem to the inability of Outlook 2007 to send emails after the update.  I get the above error message when I try.
    One thing I noticed is that the location of my iCloud inbox and outbox changed to a location under my Personal Folders as opposed to where it used to be, under iCloud.  I think the issue is with the creation of different *.pst files and their locations, and the settings that Outlook 2007 automatically picked up after the iTunes and iOS updates.
    I'd like to fix this, but am not quite sure how.  I think it has to do with not being able to set the data file I believe to be the proper item as the Default.
    I assume others have also experienced this issue.  If so, has anybody managed to solve it yet?  If you have, please share your solution.
    -- Thanks,
       Mary

    Hi,

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • Can't sync my iPad 2 and can't open my newly purchased app after upgrading to iOS 7

    Ever since I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS, I have two problems.
    First off, I can't sync my iPad 2.  This error message keeps popping up: "The iPad '(my ipad name)' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.  My iTunes is the lates version 11.1.1.11.  I even tried to deauthorize the computer and reauthorize it.  I also tried to log out and log in again.  I also tried to re-install the iPad driver from the Device Manager of my Win 7 (browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and click OK > next.)   I tried all possible ways suggested in the communities discussions but still can't get the sync to start. 
    Second problem, since I can't sync from the iTunes database, I purchased the app from App Store on my iPad.  After downloading the app, I touched the "OPEN" button but the app could not be launched.  This happens to all app's purchased after I upgraded the iPad to iOS 7, not matter the app is free or costs money.  Apps purchased BEFORE iOS 7 update can be opened without any problem.
    Any suggestion?

    Just think of the third problem.  I can't do backup neither, so I dare not restore my iPad to its default as I didn't do the backup the moment before upgrading it to iOS 7 (which I regret very much now).  I have trusted Apple for years and didn't think of such problems could happen after iOS upgrade.

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.
