Cannot sync my IPad with my IMac running OS10.6.8, Why?

Cannot sync my IPad running 6.1.3 to my IMac running OS10.6.8. But I can sync to my wife's IBook running the same OS!!

What version of Itunes are you using on your computer? Is your iPad recognized by iTunes?

Why do I get an error message when trying to sync my ipads with my imac

We have two ipads - version 2 I think - the last ones with the old style plug. Both are running IOS 7.1.1 Over the last week, every time I try to sync either ipad with my imac (27" - about 18 months old) which is running OSX 10.9.2 I get the following error message. "The Ipad cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (1723)" In every case it takes a while for the error message to appear - the sync gives every impression of rolling along just fine through the various steps - when it reaches step 5 of 6 (syncing photos) it seems to hang up, then after a while the error message shows up.
Interestingly, there are no photos on the ipad, so nothing to sync to the imac, but I discovered all of this when I tried to sync some photos in the other direction, from iphoto to one of the ipads. All I got was the pin wheel of death. I am running the most current version of iphoto too.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully accepted.

Can you create a test Project in PrE 9 and does that work. If so, close that Project and then Open it again in PrE 9.
It could be as simple as your PrE 8 Projects just not Opening in PrE 9. There is often forward compatibility, but not always. It is usually best to finish Projects in the version, in which they were started.
Good luck,

TS3274 why i cannot sync the iPad with iTunes

Can somebody help? why i cannot sync the ipad with the itunes right after i have synced my iphone sucessfully.
they are both with the latest vesions. the dialogue box keeps on "dong..dong...dong" all the time and is saying "itunes could not connect to this iphone. This iphone is no longer connected".

I have no clue what "dong, dong, dong" means unless you actually referring to sounds cpming from the computer.
Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

After updating my Safari I can no longer sync my ipad with my imac. What do I do to get it to work again?c

I updated my Safari to be able to get into the itunes store again and now I can't sync my ipad to my imac anymore. What do I do to get it synced again?

Really? Safari is not updated as part of any standalone process. Do you mean Safari on your iMac? Then did you really update OS X?
Sorry, it's not at all clear what you really did. You should provide us with version numbers of:
OS X
iOS
iPad model number
iTunes

Cannot sync the ipad with iTunes

I synced the new iPad with iTunes and every photo I had on the Mac (I didn't know that I wouldn't be ask first) went to the iPad. Now I cannot sync the iPad to delete the photos because there is not enough memory to properly sync with iTunes. Can anyone help me correct this?

This is not selected by itself - this is selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, which must be manually selected or is selected automatically when transferring the backup from another iOS device to the iPad if this is selected under the Photos tab for the other iOS device.
Have you tried deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?

Syncing my iPad with my iMac will not update the apps software

Whenever I sync my iPad Air 2 to my iMac the updated apps on the iMac will not update the apps in the iPad. I have rebooted the iMac and iPad, tried different cords, and checked all settings. All other things in the iPad sync properly.

Are you using iTunes Match by chance? I had no problems whatsoever with play counts synching between any of my devices until I started using iTunes Match. I turned it off and magically my play counts synced. Once. Hasn't happened again though.

Cannot sync my iPad to my new iMac even though I deauthorized my old computer.

Cannot sync my iPad to my new iMac even though I deauthorized my old computer.

Only purchases transfer over.
That is how it is designed to be.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Copy everything from your backup copy of your cpomputer to your new hard drive.

I purchased Keynote for my iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad?

I purchased Keynote for iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad too?

I think that only files are synced, and not applications.
On your iPad, go into app store and download keynote.
It is possible that you have to buy it again though, once for the desktop, once for ios devices.
please let me know if this helped. and if it's incorrect, so i can change it if so.
Thanks,
Finally iMac!

How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
Thanks so much!!!!!!

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

HT1386 trying to sync my ipad with itunes and keep getting a message that itunes on my ipad needs to be v10.7 but ipad is brand new

I am trying to sync my brand new ipad with my imac (itunes) and i keep getting a message to update itunes on my ipad. how do i update software on my ipad? my ipad device is not displaying in itunes on my imac to be able to sync. Can anyone advise?

That message refers to iTunes on the computer and not anything on the iPad. If you're using a Mac, it needs to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

I'm having the same problem with my 4S. I have to constantly reboot my iMac or turn off my phone a few times to get it to sync. Before when I had 5.1.1 everything seemed to work just fine. I'm sure its a bug......
Both my ipads running 5.1.1 have zero issues syncing via wifi or directly plugged in.

Cannot sync my IPad with my IMac running OS10.6.8, Why?
