Cannot get Ipad to sync with windows 8.1

I cannot get my new Ipad to work with Itunes.  I have tried rebooting both systems, changed connections and i do not see the device when trying to select the device

Good to hear.
There seems to be a glitch with one of the iTunes updates, where it's not updating all the drivers somewhere. The way to fix it is to get rid of the programs, which removes the drivers, so iTunes can then write the good ones.

    Charge overnight with the charger that came with the iPad.  Then, connect to the computer and determine if you can sync.
    Charging from the computer is "iffy" as many USB ports (especially on Windoze machines) do not put out sufficient current to charge the iPad.

  • I have the iPad 3 and I cannot get it to sync with my iTunes. Please help.

    The only way I've gotten it to sync is by restoring it to factory. Any other time it gets stuck on the preparing to sync step and then just quits. No error message or anything. I never had this problem with the iPad 2 so i'm not sure if it is my iTunes or my iPad but I have updated the software on both to no avail.

    Hi MLAbbott,
    Since you are having issues with the wireless setup using the WPS feature, try connecting the printer to the network using a USB cable temporarily. We have a great article on our Knowledge Base to guide you through this process.

  • Cannot get iPod to sync with iTunes using Windows 8 Laptop!

    I have been trying to get my iPod classic to sync up with iTunes using my Windows 8 Laptop all night!  I tried restoring the iPod, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, disconnecting my iPod to restart my laptop then plugging back in.  I also ran iTunes Diagnostics and it says my iPod isn't connected yet it shows on the sidebar.  I also have automatic sync set up.  When I hit sync, it initializes then stops.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there some trick I am missing.  Also, my iPod won't charge unless it is syncing.  What's up with that?
    Any help or advice would really be appreciated! 
    Thank you in advance.

    For the charging issue, some newer computers with USB 3.0 ports (especially laptops) seem to have a "feature" that saves energy by turning off full power to the port when the connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system.  An iPod is a storage device.  When iTunes syncs the iPod, iTunes mounts the iPod's dlsk.  So it gets full power on the port, and the battery charges.  When iTunes is done syncing, iTunes automatically unmounts the iPod's disk.  The system shuts off full power to the port, and the battery no longer charges.
    To work around this problem, go to the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  There is a setting their for Enable disk use.  Check that box and Apply.  This setting keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, when the iPod is connected.  Therefore, the port should continue to receive full power, and the battery charges.  That's fine for now, but later on, you can go into the computer's Control Panel preferences to see if there is a setting that disables this "energy saver" feature, and keeps the USB ports at full power all the time, whether the storage device is mounted or not.  If that is possible, you can turn OFF Enable disk use for the iPod.
    NOTE:  WIth disk use enabled, you need to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it safely from USB.  The Eject button is next to the iPod's name in iTunes (to the right).
    Now, for your main question about setting up automatic syncing...  First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
    Select the iPod in the sidebar.  To the right, its Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary.  Click on Music there, next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This setting enables automatic syncing.  If you want your entire iTunes music library on your iPod (and it fits), choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.  Going forward, any change you make to your iTunes music library syncs to the iPod automatically (at the next opportunity).

  • Can't get iPad to sync with iTunes on Windows XP

    I have my iTunes account. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. I plug the iPad into the USB port and nothing. No window with any kind of prompting. The iPad is charged and seems to be asking me to hookup to iTunes. I have tried all 6 USB ports on my computer. The iPad was given to me as a "hand-me-down" gift. Very kind of the previous owner, but she cleared ALL her old information and I now have to start from scratch. Any advice?

  • HT4901 My desktop calendar info is lost when I signed up for Icloud I have an ipad and iphone and cannot get calendar to sync with desktop, phone or ipad!

    My calendar info is lost on my pc. I am using icloud.

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

    Remove iTunes Preference files
    Some of the files that iTunes uses to store settings and preferences may be unusable and cause issues. iTunes has two folders where preferences are saved. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The location for the two preference folders are:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes

  • I cannot get Firefox to sync with my Galaxy Tab, it seems to keep trying forever.......

    I followed all the instructions, it just keeps showing the wheel/clock thing going round and round and nothing happens.

    thanks for the answer but not only can I not obtain my security Key. That is half of the problem. Also when I go thru the motions of entering a 12 digit key on both my computer and android I get a "progress" bar on the android and the screen says "waiting for device" and eventually firefox on the android crashes.
    This is not well set up by mozilla.
