Cant sync ipad it keeps disconnecting

11.04.. latest at this date version of Itunes
both windows and ipad are updated.
windows 8.1 updated to latest.
Itunes disconnects my entire USB setup when I try to sync.
This just started happening.
I haven't tried syncing the tunes in a while. I was trying to clear some space.
But now when I am TRYING to put music back on,
It STOPS midway - ipad gives message : can't sync # of tracks..
My USB is reset, Itunes goes on its jolly way as if nothing happened.
But NOTHING else is wrong with my setup - it works perfectly until I try to do a simple SYNC.
This is NOT the first time it has done this, one of the older updates was a piece of crap also.
If you aren't going to let us access the music folder without forcing us to go through Itunes,
can you at least make it work without being a pain in the ***????????
Or how about giving us access to the music folder so I can add my own **** music without this archaic backward slow idiotic and BUG ridden itunes crap.
Or fix it. or tell me how i can fix it. i'm sick of it to the point of wanting to throw my ******* ipad in the garbage.
unfortunately i have invested heavily in apps and the platform.
2 ipads 3 iphones and a ton of apps = sorry you're having trouble... try our knowledge base..
seriously!

Try this  - 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.)
 Cheers, Tom

    Hey bron_cross,
    Wow, Superb troubleshooting so far! Usually for the symptoms you have described, I recommend the sub-step titled “If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode” located in Step 5 of this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    However, it seems like you have exhausted all of the suggestions in that step. Did you happen to move on to Step 6: Check for third-party software conflicts? If not, here is the excerpt:
    Certain phone and cellular device connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, Sony, Android, LG, Sierra, Huawei, Pantech, or Motorola may cause your device not to be recognized. If you have such software on your computer:
    1. Uninstall the phone or cellular connectivity software temporarily, and test.  Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this. If you use the third-party phone or cellular device for your Internet connection, try connecting to an alternate network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
    2. Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8).
    3. After reinstalling iTunes, test the device.
    4. If you still need your third-party phone or cellular connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your device to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
    Also, third-party security software may conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that may be caused by your security software. After resolving any issues you may have with your security software, you may need to try the steps in this article again.
    Thanks,

  • When syncing iPad it keep showing set up your iPad

    I buy an iPad about 2 weeks ago at an authorized reseller. At there, they take it out and update it to newest iOS 5.1.1. The next day when I plug into my computer and opened iTUnes, it showed up
    Let's get started :
    1. set up your ipad
    2. register it
    i clicked continue and sync my ipad.
    The next day I plug iPad again and showed up the same text above.
    Any help??

    It could be this problem:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • Just plugged in Time Capsule and one MacBook Pro works fine on WiFi while the other MacBook Pro and iPad 3 keep disconnecting. Any ideas?

    Additionally, the wifi icon at the top of the screen has an exclamation mark on the MacBook Pro that doesn't connect. We've tried restarting the machine, the Time Capsule but nothing has helped.

    Just called Apple Support and it turns out we had the settings wrong. We're all set now!

    Hello judychang,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like an item from the iTunes Store can't be downloaded on your iPad.
    Try these steps next to resume the download:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap  More > Downloads.  For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    From:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads - Apple Support

    Hi Gavinchick,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Start with these tips if your iPad mini is stuck on "syncing" when you try to back it up:
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
    Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
    If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
    If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
    Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.

  • HT4623 I have an ipad 2 on ops 4.3 and have just updated to 7.1 via itunes. I backed up first and have synced repeatedly but keep getting a message on my ipdad screen that the ipad is not set up - I chose the set up option restore from itunes back up

    To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
    Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

  • HT1539 I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

    I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

  • I cant sync my ipad

    I cant sync my ipad to my computer. How can i move ipad data, calendars and such, to another computer?

    Is your original computer fried and no longer usable?
    If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library on DVD or an external drive, you either have to start from scratch, meaning load all of your photos onto the new laptop, (if you have the photos stored elsewhere) and do the same with the music. In the U.S. you can download all of your purchased music again for free with the iCloud feature available in iOS 4.3. You would have to import any music from CD again that you had in iTunes as well.
    There is a software available called iPad Transfer that claims to be able to transfer your iPad contents onto a computer. Your photos will not be in the original resolution from what I understand but I really no nothing about this application. You can read about it here.
    http://www.ipad-transfer.com/
    There also data recovery services that you can look for as well. I have no idea what they entail and what they may cost but I think you can retrieve you contents that way as well.

  • Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone

    Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone.
    I've tried restarting my computer, powering down my i-Phone & shutting down i-Tunes but nothing works.
    Plus i cant email photo's from my i-Phone either.

    Can you do a manual back up by right clicking on the iPhone in the left pane and selecting backup?
    Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone? If not, hold down your sleep and home button until the screen shuts off then let go of the buttons. Wait a few seconds and then press the sleep button to turn the iPhone back on. Try to sync now.

  • I cant sync. Videos with my Ipad

    Hi
    Plz help
    I cant add videos to the iTunes library from my windows so i cant sync it with my iPad 

    I have the same issue too.   I have many (dozens) of movies that I have ripped from my personal DVDs.   For the past 18 months, I have been able to sync and play any of them at-will on my iPad  (so the format is fine).
    Today I tried to check a few to add  (that I had on the iPad at one point in the past).    The iTunes interface on my WM7 PC went through the motions of synching ... the status bar on top even displayed the names of the 3 movies I tried to add as they were loading.   The iPad storage bar indicated that the 3 movies were loaded too.
    But on the iPad - no.   No additional movies were showing.   Only the 3 I had added a few weeks ago during the last time I synched and swapped out movies.
    This sounds almost like a clear case of a bug in the latest iTunes update.  Oh did I mention that iTunes insisted on updating itself today?
    *****.   Never thought I'd see such a blatant bug in an apple release.  

  • I've synced iPad with iTunes, but it keeps telling me that there are purchases on my iPad that need to be transferred?

    I've synced iPad with iTunes, but it keeps telling me that there are purchases on my iPad that need to be transferred before I can run the iOS update or I will lose them.  What should I do?  How do I figure out what purchases have not been transferred?   I went into iTunes on my Mac and ran "Check for available downloads" and I still get same message. 

    The 'cehck for available downloads' checks if there is anything in the store that you haven't yet downloaded, it won't copy anything from the iPad. Have you tried doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases ?
