Hardwired iPad still can't be found or finish a sync

Why is it that my iTunes, which is connected via USB cable to my iPad2, is unable to "find" my iPad or that once it finally does, I begin the sync and half way through its says that its lost my iPad ort "can't find it." T ensure this isn't a wifi link that's coming or going I've put the iPad in airplane mode. Same results.
"The iPad could not be synced because the connection to the iPad was lost."
I've done the factory reset thing before and I can't say that it made a difference.

Reboot the comouter
try a different USB port
Try a different cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

    Hi Jo,
    Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security.  There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach.  If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access.  In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address).  Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
    Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
    If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue.  If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.

  • Brand new ipad stolen.can it be found

    Unopened ipad mini was stolen ,can it be found?

    Sorry but no. Since the iPad was never set up, there is no service that can locate it. All you can do is notify the police in case they happen across the thief and can recover your property.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option which is revealed by tapping the updates option at the bottom of the screen of the App store app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    Hello, PriestessJeanann. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  The usual fix would be to delete the email account in question and add this account via the preset AOL option.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • HT4623 I just updated ny iOS to the latest version and my iPad still can't find the AirPrint  printer. What am I doing wrong?

  • After installing iOS 8.0.2, I thought it would resolve my problems on my iPad, still can't play some of my games, they won't open. HELP

    Some of my games will not play after installing ios 8 & ios 8.0.2. I go to open Royal envoy and it just shuts down. Any ideas. Thanks

    Try the reset below. If that doesn't work contact the game developer for a IOS 8 update.. Two of my games didn't open and I've already recieved updates and the games work fine.
    Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • Q re sync. I have deleted photos on my iMac going from 20,000 to 11,000. My iPad still has the 20,000. If I sync the 2 hopefully I will end up with only 11,000 on both devices but before I sync I want to make certain I won't end up 20,000 again

    sync between desktop and iPad

    Sorry, been away for quite a while....to clarify....
    When you sync photos from iTunes, you overwrite the last set of photos that you synced unless you select them to sync to the iPad again. All photos have to be included/selected in every sync, and if any photos are not selected to sync, those photos will be erased. Since the photos no longer exist on your Mac, it is impossible for them to reappear on the iPad when you sync again. You have nothing to worry about ad long as the photos have been deleted from the Mac.

  • Ios 6 ipad upgrade can't sign in to finish setup of icloud...

    keeps timing out.
    is this because the servers are underconfigured/overwhelmed?

    Hello iinami,
    I do know that on the 29th of September, there were some issues with people tying to access their iCloud data. When you are having issues with accessing anything that Apple provides as a service or a store, check the first link to see if to see if any issues that could be preventing access. If you are still having issues currently, check with the second article to get it sorted out.

  • I update my ipad regularly, but now it will not finish the syncing as it says i have run out of memory but i have 14gs left??

    i update my ipad regularly, but now it says it will not finish as there is no more memory left. But i still have 14gb spare on it?

    The memory you exhausted may not be on your iPad.  It might be in iTunes (your computer) or iCloud.

  • My ipod touch can't be found when I run a diagnostic test, on 3 different computers!

    I have a 64GB 4th generation iPod touch for about a year and half now, but suddenly when I plug it into my computer, it will begin charging but it won't show up in devices under itunes. When I ran a diagnostic test, it says my ipod can't be found. I ran a diagnostic test on 3 different computers that have the latest verison of itunes installed, once on a laptop and twice on a desktop computer and it still can't be found. I've reinstalled itunes and all of it's components and also restarted my ipod. I finally erased all the data off my ipod and set it up as a new ipod (because I can't use it if I set it up as backup) and deleted any recent music I downloaded and it still can't be found. If anyone could help me, please let me know right away or I'll be selling the ipod and buying a new one.

    I am not sure what is happening, but I may know how to fix it.
    Plug it into a computer, press and hold the lock and home buttons, and the ipod will turn off. When the apple logo appears, let go of the lock button but keep holding the home button until iTunes says it has detected an ipod in recovery mode.

  • Cannot initiate wi-fi sync from iPad (but can from Mac)

    I'm frustrated after reading all the forums and only finding information about how to make your iPad show up in iTunes.  That is working fine for me.  In fact, I can initiate a wi-fi sync from the Mac.  The weird thing is that the iPad still says i need to enable wi-fi syncing (even when it is actively syncing wirelessly).  I have turned every device off and on, I even did a factory restore on the iPad, but still no luck.  Anyone seen this before?  Any advice?  I much prefer to initiate a sync from the iPad.  Thanks!

    When you restored the iPad to factory settings, did you restore from a backup afterward? I assume that you did. Maybe you have a corrupt setting that is causing this, so you could try resetting all settings. You will have to start from scratch with all of the device settings, and that does take some time to do, but you will not lose anything in the way of data.

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.
