Cannot sync iphone or ipad with Lion

I upgraded to Lion today and it went fine on my Mac.  I then did a sync with my iPhone and iPad.  Nothing!  I tried a second time.  Again nothing!  I went into the app store to update my apps on the iPad and got this message, "This App is incompatible with this iPad."  What do I do now?

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all components as directed in here.?

  • Syncing iPhone and iPad with iTunes

    I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 which I sync to the same iTunes on my home PC. Every time I connect my iPhone to my iTunes, it invariably gets synced with whatever apps, music, movies and books which I synced to my iPad 2.   How do I configure my iTunes in such a way that I sync different sets of apps, movies, music, etc. to both my iPhone and iPad? Thank you.

  • Syncing iPhone and iPad with Mac Book Pro

    Is it possible to sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac Book Pro and have the same screens and apps? I see where all apps appear in my iPad syncing window, but I cannot make it exactly like my iPhone... Is this possible? Thank you!

    Hi Kristi,
    Connect your iPad and your iPhone to your MBPro. Launch iTunes. Under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window you can select either device then select Apps from the menu.
    You can drag home screens and rearrange apps right from that window. Very smart idea on your part to do that. That way it's the same (or close to) on both devices.

  • Spinning wheel in Photos tab when syncing iPhone or iPad with iTunes

    I can't be certain when this started, but when I attempt to sync both my iPad and iPhone photos through iTunes, I'm not presented with any options, just a spinning wheel that never finishes loading. I've looked in multiple discussions with similar problems but none of the solutions seem to help. So far, I've tried:
    Different USB cable.
    Creating new "dummy" libraries in both Aperture and iPhoto (local disks, not on network disks).
    Rebooting
    Restarting devices
    Permissions repair
    Repairing permissions in the Aperture library
    Rebulidng the iPhoto database.
    Deleting the iPod Photo Cache inside the Aperture library (which doesn't seem to get rebuilt)
    Updating the software.I was using 10.9.2 and 11.1.5 iTunes, but upgrading using the Mavericks public beta hoping that would fix it. It did not.
    In iTunes, going to File-->Home Sharing-->Choose Photos to share with AppleTV brings up the same spinning wheel.
    Deleting all kinds of preferences, com.apple.itunes, etc.
    Oddly enough, my wife's user account which has its own iPad and iPhone synced with its own iPhoto library is doing the exact same thing.
    I've spent hours on this and have no idea what else to do. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    I think I fixed it thanks to the answers here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/10331322?messageID=10331322#10331322?messa geID=10331322
    It involves reloading the iLifeMediaBrowser from the Mavericks installer.

  • Cannot sync iPhone or iPad over WIFI

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, IOS 8.1 and iTunes 12, I can no longer snyc over WiFi both iPhone 6 or iPad Mini. Both devices do not show up in iTunes toolbar over WiFi. For a brief moment after IOS 8.02 upgrade to  8.1, I was able to both connect and sync over WiFi and I thought the problem was solved by the IOS upgrade. I was wrong. Any suggestions?

    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.

    Cannot sync my outlook calendar with my iPhone 6 plus.  When I add my email for Verizon, calendar was not an option.  This was working with my 4S iPhone.  Also around the time I switched for iPhone 4 to 6 the operating system was updated to 8.

    " 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.

  • HT1535 Trying to sync iphone to ipad

    Trying to sync iphone to ipad over the wifi and delete msg /pic from either one

    You cannot sync an iPhone to an iPad. While you can share or sync some content, there are only selected items that can be done. Your statement is lacking in detail so it is difficult to understand exactly what you are trying to do. It seems as though you want to put your messages and pictures on both devices via Wi-Fi? With Continuity, you can share messages, and pictures could be shared via Photo Stream.

  • Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
    Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

  • Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

    Current setup
    - Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
    - iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
    - iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
    I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.  I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues.  I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
    I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday.  Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help.  Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help.  Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help.  I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
    Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way.  When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird?  Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF.  DING, DING, that was it.  Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday.  Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps.  Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
    Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"!  I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc. 
    I hope this helps many of you save several hours.  I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

    Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
    1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
    2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
    3. Restart iTunes
    4. Restart IPad
    5. Connect IPad
    6. Still I got the same error
    7. Restart iTunes
    8. Restart IPad
    9. Connect IPad
    10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
    Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.
    System: IPad 1, IOS 5.x
