Cannot initiate wi-fi sync from iPad (but can from Mac)

I'm frustrated after reading all the forums and only finding information about how to make your iPad show up in iTunes. That is working fine for me. In fact, I can initiate a wi-fi sync from the Mac. The weird thing is that the iPad still says i need to enable wi-fi syncing (even when it is actively syncing wirelessly). I have turned every device off and on, I even did a factory restore on the iPad, but still no luck. Anyone seen this before? Any advice? I much prefer to initiate a sync from the iPad. Thanks!

When you restored the iPad to factory settings, did you restore from a backup afterward? I assume that you did. Maybe you have a corrupt setting that is causing this, so you could try resetting all settings. You will have to start from scratch with all of the device settings, and that does take some time to do, but you will not lose anything in the way of data.

Trying to sync my IPad but can't get it to "communicate" with my computer. Keeps telling me "not connecting"

I have been trying to Sync my IPAD to my computer for over an hour, I cannot get it to show that it's "plugged" in. I keep getting the "not charging" showing in my upper corner. Is there anything I can do to get it to sync?
There is nothing wrong with the cable as I just synced my IPHONE and have synced with my IPAD in the past. I am beyond frustrated.

Let me take up the comment by King Penguin who is right about the charging issue with some computers: not all USB 2 ports are equal apparently. However, I did read somewhere that even those that are not showing a charging may allow some trickle-charging to occur (take you about 12 hours to notice anything).
However, I think the problem here is that not only is charging not taking place, but the iPad is not shown in the sidebar. There are usually two possible causes here: the hardware (which in BrookeLeigh's case could be the iPad or its connector) or the software.
In the latter case, no iOS device will probably be shown (IPad, iPhone or iPod touch), which could be what is afflicting tahnehdo. Nonetheless, before trying some of the fixes Apple suggests, a check with another cable (or computer -- be careful not to sync) might tell you if this is hardware.
If not, Apple KB documents are useful in tracking down and fixing the problem. Start with this http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/ Troubleshooting guide and work your way through. Note there are different processes for Windows and Macs.
It would be helpful if you could put some more information as even knowledge of the OS will mean a different approach may need to be taken. We do not know if it is iPad 1 or 2, the OS, the computer you have or if you have other iOS devices that could help you in analysis.

Can't see email attachment on iPhone nor iPad, but can on Mac.

I am getting an email with an attachment that comes to my mac, my iphone, & my iPad; but I can only see that it has an attachment on my mac. Others receive the same email on their ipad and they can see the attachment icon. Help.

Try resetting the iPad. No data is lost. (Oh, and check your security settings. Maybe some kind of function is enabled, that blocks attachments etc.)
Another reason might be your internet provider (cellular provider), if you have just been trying to download the attchments over 3G/4G, although I don't know that. Ckeck with them, if that is the case, and try to download the attchments over WiFi (you better check out multiple WiFi sources, just in case the problem is router-spesific (many routers, mostly public, but also private have certain restrictions on them concerning the amount of data each user can download). I'm really no expert, but that's what I would do...Otherwise, I'm afraid, I don't know. Really sorry about this!

Cannot display Tiff in email by iPad but can read the same by iPhone 4

When I used iPad or iPhone 3GS mail to check email, usually the tiff attachment cannot be viewed, however, iPhone 4 has no problem with the same email and attachment.
Both iPhone are using iOS 4.1 and iPad 3.22
Is it the reason of that iPhone 4 has more memory? Will this problem be fixed in iOS 4.2!

Hi
I am also unable to view tiff attachments. The Ipad2 mail just shows an image of the first page of the file and the only option I get when I press on the image is for "copy" or "save image". Only the first page gets saved as an image.
I bought Save2PDF app but still unable to see the multi page file in mail or elsewhere.
Appreciate any help in adjusting any settings either in mail or Save2PDF app that would enable me to view multiple page tiff file.
Thanks.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV. I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on. I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
You have two possibilities:
1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

Make sure that your username and password are set in the outgoing mail servers setting.

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

That did cross my mind earlier today and when checking iCloud found that it had an old ID. I logged out and then in again on my current ID. It still doesn't sync.

Address book and calendar sync from Mac to Google

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire phone and wish to sync my Contacts and Calendar items to it via Google.
I have pulled my Address Book and Calendar from my old p1i phone on to my old Power Book and exported these. I have then imported these onto my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I now want to sync these up to a Google account.
In my address I have ny contacts and also my girlfriend's. I wish to sync only my Contacts up to Google. Is this possible?
I have tried configuring iCal to sync with Google via calDAV but I am not seeing my Calendar entries in Google (or a way of doing a manual sync from Mac -> Google)
Apologies if these questions have been asked and answered previuosly.
Mike B.

Keynote for iPhone works with iPad but not with Mac

I purchased Keynote for iPhone and is working well with my iPad but can't seem to transfer it to my Mac. Do I need to buy it separately?

Keynote for iOS and Mac, are incompatible as they are written for different operating systems.
You must install the Mac version on a Mac which is a separate purchase. It is free to users who purchased a Mac from mid-October 2013.
