Error on iPad2-Won't sync anymore_PLEASE HELP!!

My syncing has been working fine until just recently (not sure when exactly it stopped since I have been using Wi-Fi syncing). I just went to my desktop to make sure the wi-fi syncs were working and i noticed that the following tabs (Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Books) are greyed out. When I say I want to Sync my (Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Books), it asks me "Are you sure you want to sync XX? All existing content on the iPad “XXXXX iPad” will be removed and replaced with XX and from your iTunes library.
What will happen if I say yes? I have never had this connected to any other machine other than mine, so I do not know why this would have happened. Any help would be greatly appreicated . Thanks.
My computer only has Snow Leopard so I can not use iCloud syncing. All syncing has been done through Wi-Fi or direct connection.

So I just got off the phone with Apple Tech support-it appears this might be a bug of 5.0.1. If I understand this correctly, if the items are in your library nothing will be erased when you select "Sync". I updated all the tabs and everything is fine. Hope this helps others out there who are experiencing the same problem.

My ipad2 won't sync with Apple tv or let me airplay

MMy ipad2 won't sync or AirPlay to Apple tv

Then your problem may well be a network problem rather than just showing photos.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I'm having the same, identical problem. It goes into step 2 (backing up process) then it goes back to step one (finding iPad) and it starts over again. It will just keep doing that for 3 or 4 times until it will say "iPad not found". This is so frustrating.

IPad2 won't sync with iMac...only my iphone4 shows in the device window on my iMac. For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network!

iPad2 won't sync with iMac and only my iphone4 shows in the devices window on my iMac. For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network! The iPad will sync when plugged into the Mac however looses connection and disappears from the device window when unplugged.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

I updated to iOS 5 and now my iPod Touch 3g won't sync. Help?

My iTunes told me to update to iOS5, so I did. I saved a backup, got the new OS and it restored my iPod.
The problem is that it didn't actually restore it. None of my music or apps was on my iPod. So I tried syncing it. No such luck.
I tried changing USB ports, restarting iTunes, restarting my iPod and restarting my computer. I tried syncing it again. It didn't work.
So I restored my iPod again, or at least tried to, and it told me that there was an error and the restore didn't finish. All of the apps synced, but none of my music.
I tried restoring and syncing again, and this time around the apps synced and maybe 10% of my music.
That's my issue. I can't for the life of me get all of my music to sync. None of the songs have error messages and there aren't any pop ups during the sync saying there's issues with the songs. They just. won't. sync. And now in order to talk to a tech, I'll have to pay $29 for something that is most definitely not my fault. Please help!

And, I've tried restoring it! Help?!?

My iPod won't sync- PLEASE HELP!

Usually, when I plug my iPod into my computer, it automatically syncs itself. But lately, whenever I plug my iPod in, all it does is charge, it won't sync anything into my iPod. I've cleaned the USB cord and have checked my memory. It is NOT full. Could somebody please help?

I starting having the same problem all of a sudden two days ago. Not only won't my IPod Nano not sync automatically, but the Sync option under the "File" drp-down menu is shaded gray and inactive. I tried resetting the IPod, and no change...I ran the ITunes diagnostics and got an error message that says I have no device connected, yet the computer still charges the IPod through the USB connection. Unable to download any new music from ITunes, yet my ITunes account is still active; I still have my ITunes library and I can still purchase songs. I wonder is this an IPod problem or an ITunes problem?

An unknown error occurred (-50). Videos/Photos won't sync! HELP!!

I have been getting this error ever since i updated to iTunes 7. I can update my music files just fine, but I can't put my podcasts, photos, or movies onto my ipod. I have tried restoring it, which didn't do anything except erase all the photos and movies i had on before. I am completely up to date with the ipod and itunes software. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Oh, and I also get the "disk cannot be read from or written to" error every once in a while, usually when I'm trying to put on the videos or photos. It's not usually a problem, though I don't know why it's still showing the error. I've tried switching USB ports, and my computer updates are up to date so I'm not sure what the problem is. I am aware of the article on this problem as well.
Thanks for your help!

As I already had Windows 7 x32 installed on my MacBook and just upgraded to Windows 8 x32 it is difficult to say whether you can directly install Windows 8 x32 or have to do the upgrade Windows 7 x32 route.
I would read this thread that applies to the installation of Windows 8 on non supported Macs.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4897066
This is for getting Windows 8 x64 installed but it may work for Win 8 x32 using the switching of the CD's from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
I initially used my Windows BootCamp 3.0 drivers on the my Snow Leopard disc after using BootCamp 3.0 to install Windows 7 x32 so I would try using those 3.0 Windows drivers first and then upgrading to the Bootcamp 4.0.4033 drivers after you have booted into Windows 8.

Moved computers - Error messages - podcasts won't sync - multiple problems

I just moved my itunes and ipod from a macbook to a PC (I love the apples but I can't afford to buy them).
When I plug in my ipod I get two very similar error messages that must be cleared before my ipod will sync (which is very annoying if you're in a hurry and you plug in your ipod and expect it to sync and don't notice the error messages come up and then come back a few minutes later and nothing has synchronized).
The first is:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "How Microsoft Deployed and
Architected SharePoint Server 2007", were not copied because they could not be found." and then at the bottom it says there are 87 total problems and I can click the + if I want to see all 87 problems.
How do I fix that?
Also I'm trying very very very very very hard to get Real Time with Bill Maher Episode #165 to move from my iTunes (where it rests tauntingly) to my iPod (which has only 1 brief video episode of "new rules". I've tried many different settings in the sync area including "sync the 5 most recent items", "sync the 5 most recent unplayed items", "sync all items", etc. but nothing I try moves this over.
Please please please, how can I get Episode #165 onto my iPod before I die of old age?

I am having the same problem. iMessages sends and sync with my iphone 4s and ipad, but even though I'm signed in on my mac with iMessage, I can't send any mesages and they don't sync with the messages sent from my iphone. I am signed in with my AppleID on the mac, and I get the confirmation notices on my iphone and ipad, but I can't send send or receive iMessages on the mac.
I've tried the numerous fixes suggested in other articles, such as signing in and out on all my devices (starting with the iphone first), deleting plist files, uninstalling Flash player, resetting the PRAM, repairing disk permissions, booting in safe mode, but nothing works.
I have a MacBook Pro 17" running the latest version of Mavericks with Messages version 8 (4226).
My iCloud account is a different login than my AppleID I use for the iPhone, iTunes, and Messages, but that's because it's the AppleID that is tied to my cell phone number.
Thank you for the help.

My ipad2 won't sync with iTunes on my PC so I can back it up

I Always have synced my ipad2 with ITunes on my PC to back it up. This week when I opened ITunes on PC it would not show my device as connected so that I could back it up. Can anyone help? I just updated to 8.02 could this be a problem? Thanks

When you get back home, try different USB ports and/or different cables, just to rule out any mechanical issues.
Then try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again. Sometimes there seems to be a driver issue, where the up to date driver doesn't install but iTunes thinks it's there. The easiest way to get it on your computer is to remove the programs that use it and reinstall iTunes, which will automatically reinstall the driver when you plug your iPad back in.

Error Message= iPod won't Sync with iTunes

I have an 3rd generation iPod and lately I have been getting an error message that says "The iPod DN5 cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (-48)".
If anybody has ever encountered this problem, please post an answer as I don't have the money amount to buy a new one.

Hey there,
Have you tried putting the iPod into Disk Mode? You may have to restore your iPod, but it might be able to fix the problem. Once your iPod is plugged in, just hit restore that comes up the main page. Hope this helps.

IPOD TOUCH 4th GEN WON'T SYNC PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi I have a refurb ipod touch 4th gen, I bout it a little over 4 months ago and have sync-ed it with the same emac g4 running 10.5.8 iTunes 10.2(at time of purchase) to 10.4(today) and abruptly today I plugged it in, and my computer will not recognize it in the slightest. I followed instructions and guides and trouble shooters, and put it in recovery mode, dfu mode and plugged it into all the computers in the house, from 2010 MacBook to lenovo running ubuntu. It still charges using my wall charger, bit WON'T EVEN CHARGE When I connect it to the computer. and I would leave well enough alone except I want to sync new music and update iOS 5 when it comes out. But as stated before I have tried all I can, even looking into jailbreaking. PLEASE HELP I JUST BOUGHT THIS, if you can help in any way please do

I Have Now For 5 Days Tried Everything On Apples Website, MacRumors, MacHeads, Etc. And Still Nothing, Although In Windows it Comes up with "USB Device Not Recognized" And When In Device Manager I Right Click on "Unknown Device" And Click Properties, And Its USB ID is All Zeros, Apple Had an article on this but i did all that was stated and still nothing.
The Nearest 'Apple Certified' Genius Bar is At a Computer Store, but, Unlike Apple Stores; Diagnostics on ipods is $15 and then more to Fully Repair, So i Think I'll Call Apple First. haha
thanks

ITunes Library lost, "new" one created, but now my iPod won't sync. HELP!!

My brother had been messing around on my computer, and something happened to iTunes. At first, it wouldn't open at all. The only way I could access it was to hunt through my files in my MacHD. When it finally opened, there was NOTHING in it! I managed to find my songs, and load them back into the library, but now, it won't let my sync my iPod. The message "The iPod "Kayla's iPod" is in use by another user on this computer." I tried to find/restore this 'other' library/user, but the only iTune file that opens is then new one. How can I access and sync my iPod through the new library?? Please help!

The only solution I can think of apart having computer administrative privileges and switching users to strictly use your brothers iTunes Library would be to reset your iPod. Maybe that will deauthorize your brother's Library enabling you to start from scratch.
If you haven't already, try this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
If that works, you're going to need this application http://ipoddisk.ourbiti.com/ to transfer any music not purchsed from the iTunes Store from your iPod to your iMac.
