Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013. Have done diagnostic on both with itunes as it does recognize them and they comes up clean. Where do I go from here?

The music should be on your syncing computer.  Just sync the music to the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
However, the music and movie redownload is only applicable to the USA with the latest iTunes since iCloud (beta) is now available in the USA.

  • I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch , both configured on the same apple account, how do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the ipod

    I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch both configured on the same id
    How do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the iPod touch when the iPod is connected to a wi fi connection

    Mail: do not have the same account loaded onto the two devices.
    Photos: go into Settings->Photos & Camera->and turn off photo stream.
    everything else, sign out of the Apple ID on the device you dont want to be visible.
    good luck

  • I have an Ipad mini but the screen seems to have a sticking problem

    I have an Ipad mini but the screen seems to have a sticking problem around the O&P DELETE area if in Landscape mode which results in the continual typing of these if in Keyboard mode or the selecting of whichever app is in that area despite me not actually touching it. Any ideas how this can be fixed at all?

  • I have numerous different apple products with the new lightening connector, all of which have broken or stopped working after just short periods of time, I have an iPhone 5C, and iPad mini and and iPod Touch 5th gen?

    Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
    I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
    On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
    Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?

    Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
    This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
    On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
    Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
    It's defo not user error!

  • Why is the iPad Mini slower than iPod touch 4 at buffering video?

    As mentioned in the title I have an iPad Mini that is being outperformed by my iPod touch 4. I have been using both devices on the same network and on You Tube the iPod is a lot faster at loading, Furthermore, when using BBC iPlayer I can connect with the iPod and watch whereas the iPad Mini comes up that there is insufficient bandwidth and doesn't even play.
    I was convinced that the iPad Mini would be faster than my iPod which is a year older. I am really disappointed about this and have tried as many things as I can possibly think of. Is anyone else out there experiencing these problems and, if so, do you have any advice on what I can do to solve this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Emubob

    I noticed that my iPad is far more sensitive to signal fluctuations than my MBP. The MBP would report 5 bars, but the iPad would drop the connection every 3 seconds. It turned out that the router was varying the signal, and the iPad couldn't keep a solid connection.

  • Which is better an iPad mini or an iPod touch 5th generation?

    Is the iPod touch 5 better than the iPad mini?

    I depends upon your needs and usage. the iPod is smaller and easier to carry. The iPad  mini larger screen is an advantage for many users. Also, the iPod has an optional cellular radio which is very nice but has one-time cost and then monthly cost but no contract. Also, there are somne apps that are only iPod apps

  • Ipad is asking for passcode and i have never had one

    i  updated to new operating system the other day, and when i went to use it safari was missing. i have now just turned on again and its asking for a passcode to enter but i have never used a passcode before, so i cant get in. i have synced the ipad, and tried restoring but it says a passcode is required but i dont have one. please help as i need to use my ipad. thanks

    Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
    You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    i need help with updating my ios on my 8 gb ipod touch it has neever been updated and is still running 4.3 and i have no idea what i have to do

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.3.

    My pictures get shuffled into wrong events when syncing to iPad mini. Any suggestions?

    Photos are sorted by date modified when you sync from iTunes. If you have them arranged out of date sequence, they will not sync that way onto the iPad. You can read more here.

  • I cant add apps to my kid's iPod Touch. (i have iPhone 4)

    Hey there, thanks in advance for any help soemone can give me.
    I Have a mac desktop computer (if that matters) & i have an iPhone 4. the kids love to play apps/games on it so for xmas hubby & I got the kids both an iPod Touch. Ive never had an issue with adding anything to my phone. last night i went to set up the kids'iTouch & i am able to add music, pics & videos but NOT apps. Ive read a lot of you saying click "sync apps" but i cant even do that, it's all grey/unclickable. im so upset cause these are very expensive toys.
    also do i need to make them their own apple ID?? i want use to all be able to use the music & apps i have on this computer. but when i try the iMessage it wont work cause both iTouches are under the same apple ID as my iPhone 4. i really want the kids to be able to use the iMessage & facetime with their grandparents back in the states. & with dad when hes away on work trips (when he upgrades to the iPhone in june).
    thanks for your time.

    - Is the iPod signed into the iTunes account that purchased the apps?
    - Are restrictions set on the iPod that prohibit installing apps? Settings>Genera>Restrictions.
