Cannot sync music to iPad or transfer bought films from iPad.

Hello,
I am having trouble with my iPad 2. I am trying to go through all the options but I cannot get anywhere with it.
I cannot sync any music from my iTunes to the iPad, and I have films purchased on the iPad (Purchased, not rented) that I cannot transfer to iTunes.
On the iPad "about" shows no songs, 1 film. When i go to the iPad tab in iTunes there is the music I want synced (in grey) and no films.
Whenever I go through a sync process it says completing steps 1 through 7, but after step 7 "cancelling sync".
I would restore the iPad but I don't want to lose the film I bought and I'd prefer to transfer it to the Laptop (MacBook) before I Restore the iPad.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same issue, already for about a month or so, (a bit after the release of iOS 7) on my iPhone 4S.
Always stuck on Waiting for Changes to be Applied.
I already tried:
- built a completely new iTunes Library (my previous one was completely manually managed, this one is automatic, a change I had planned to do since a while, but now thought would be good to implement because it may fix my issue... no it didn't).
- Removed all voice memos from my iPhone.
- Restored from a iCloud backup. Then syncing again.
- Updated to Mavericks with iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3.
- Changed the name of the MediaLibrary.sqlitedb file on the iPhone (trough Phoneview) to have iTunes make a new Library. Still it's stuck on the bigger playlists.
The only thing I didn't do yet, was setting it up as a completely new phone. I am not gonna loose 4 years of text messages because of a bug in the software.
It syncs some playlists, but most of my larger ones it doesn't. I paid 850 euros to have an 64GB iPhone 4S, and now I have to leave it with 3/4 empty space because of Apple. Very frustrating.

I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.

I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.
I have tried rebooting my computer, rebooting and iPad, and nothing works.
I'm using an iMac that runs OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.4 and my iPad Air runs iOS 7.0.4. Please help!

I could not get music and videos from the computer to the iPad and vise versa although the computer apparently was backing up the iPad. After playing around with them a bit I finally got the two devices to share media again. i still get the message that the iPad and the computer cannot sync - now that i got them to start sharing again i'm not sure how them "not syncing" is going to affect me as yet.
Thanks for the effort

I cannot sync music in iTunes from my laptop to my ipad2, the audio books and podcasts have synced. Please can anyone help?

Step 1: Turn off iTunes Match on your computer
(iTunes: store > Turn off iTunes Match).
Step 2: Turn off iTunes Match on all your devices
(iPad: settings > music > iTunes Match [off]).
(iPhone: settings > music > iTunes Match [off])
Step 3: Sign off of your iTunes account
(iTunes: store > sign out)
Step 4: Disconnect your iPhone and/or iPad if they are connected to your computer. Then reconnect.

Cannot sync music to Phone 4.

Cannot sync music to Phone 4. This is second hand phone given to me recently, but all settings were erased and set up from scratch. I am new to iTunes; I have had no problems syncing to iPad or iPod but cannot copy music to iPhone, presume this should be possible? All music is imported from CD's at present.
I can see iPhone within iTunes on my PC, and when I select music to sync the status bar at bottom of summary page goes partly blue. I am trying to sync using cable, have turned off Home Sharing and Wifi sync as advised on other posts. When I click sync, various stages are run through very quickly at top of screen, but nothing actually copies over. When I did same thing on iPad, I could see each track being copied.
Getting very frustrated with iTunes, surely it should not be so difficult just to copy over some music?
Would appreciate any help.

He wants to keep his friends apps, videos and music while adding his own.
iPhones sync to 1 computer under 1 iTunes account.
All apps, video and music are tied to an account.
To use your iTunes stuff or purchase stuff in the future, you will have to restore wipe your friends stuff off the phone, associate it with your iTunes id.

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Hey MHallon,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you need to redownload previously purchased content from the iTunes Store. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

Tap the iTunes app icon on the iPad to launch it. Then tap the Purchased Tab on the bottom of the iTunes window. That will take you a window that shows all of your iTunes purchases. Tap the View button on the top left and you can choose music or TV shows from the resulting menu. Select TV shows. You can enter the name of the show in the search and if the show appears, tap the TV show name in the list on the left, then tap the TV Show icon in the window on the right and then tap on the cloud icon in the next window that pops up to download it.

How do I transfer all notes from iPad to my macbook

How could I transfer all notes from iPad 4th generation to my MacBook?

I would do that by transferring my existing notes on my iPad into an iCloud account. You would set up an iCloud notes account on your iPad (Settings > iPad). Make sure all the notes reside in the iCloud account (not an easy task). Then turn on iCloud notes on your MacBook, and they will all mysteriously appear.
Another way would be to wait for iOS 8 and Yosemite. Once these two new operating systems are released, Apple has said you will be able to use AirDrop to move information between iOS and OS X devices.

You don't upload magazines to iCloud. If you remove them from the iPad, you just download them again in the magazine app if you want to access those issues again.

How do I transfer a film from my ipad to my pc using itunes?

Hi guys
How do I transfer a film from my ipad to my pc using itunes? I purchased the film from itunes using my ipad.
Thanks

Hello jedi1972,
The film can likely be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store.

Should you prefer, or even need to transfer the film from the iPad rather than from the iTunes Store (considering bandwidth or data limiations on your connection to the internet), purchases can be transferred from the iPad to the computer.

How do I transfer calendar changes FROM ipad TO computer?

how do I transfer calendar changes FROM ipad TO computer?

Thanks Chris. Trouble is, I have created a pile of calendar detail (and contacts) in iPad, but have a blank version of Outlook on Pc (had to reinstall). Reading synch instruction, implies iPad will synch with pc, and delete existing iPad content (plenty) and replace with pc outlook content (zilch). So I would stand to lose everything.
Have turned on iCloud on iPad, but can't see any content in pc based iTunes, (nor of course, in Outlook)
So want to be sure to keep what I have ON iPad and transfer it TO Outlook. I can then continue to edit/add content on iPad and transfer that TO computer (from time to time)
Any ideas?
