Having issues syncing iPad

Hey, so I have the iPad 2 and wanted to recently put a movie on it that was in my iTunes on my computer. I have all the updated software on both. As I went to go sync the movie in, iTunes stopped responding. I shut it down and tried again. I have tried it multiple times with different movies and it seems to not want to sync. Any help?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 4s since updating to ios 7.1. It says "preparing to update" and then spins like that and does nothing. If I'm trying to copy a song from my laptop to my phone it is grey.
Help please.
Thanks!

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue. I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone. In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

HT4623 I'm having issues syncing my iPod touch to iTunes

I'm having issues syncing my iPod touch to iTunes. When i connect the iPod to iTunes, a message pops up saying "iTunes could not connect to 'iPod Touch' because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter a passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Yet when I unlock the device, the only screen available to me it the picture of a USB and an arrow pointing to iTunes so there is no way for me to enter a passcode. I tried going into "My Computer" to view the files of the iPod, if i could possibly reset the iPod to its factory settings yet the connected iPod is not present. Is there any way to possibly reset this iPod or is there a software problem?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

To all those having issues syncing their new iPod touch to iTunes:

Do me a favor and try downloading doubletwist from www.doubletwist.com. I was having issues with itunes telling me it couldn't sync music/videos/photos (but it could apps) with my new 32 GB ipod touch 3rd gen so I shipped it back to Amazon earlier this week.
Most other itune replacement software didn't support the new OS 3.0 and I didn't know how long they would take. I just got an update from doubletwist they now support the latest touch and iphones. I obviously can't try it out.
But if several people try this (make sure to check for latest version), and it allows them to transfer music/videos while Apple have their collective heads up their *****, I will reconsider purchasing it again. I love my new HTC Hero, but it just doesn't cut it as a replacement.
thanks,
Jonathan

Slowed my computer down to unusability, missing (or hidden so I couldn't find them) things I consider key features (tag editing, smart playlists, podcasts). Doesn't appear to do anything I can't already do with iTunes. The Amazon Downloader already adds any of my purchases to my iTunes library.
Oh, and it never recognized my Touch (3.1.2) so I don't know how it would have worked. Would it have synced? Or would I have been stuck with tediously dragging and dropping things?
Given what it did to my computer, I'm unlikely to spend much time trying to get it to work. Perhaps it works better on a Windows box but I don't think I want to subject my low horsepower netbook to it.
Best of luck.

Having issues with iPad air.. It's constantly rebooting and giving me a blue screen. Anyone have a solution?

iPad Air
operating system ios8.1.3
I've had no success troubleshooting the problem I'm having with my iPad Air. Started after I updated the software to the new version . Once update was complete I encountered my screen looked funny with wiggly lines and then the screen turned blue. I tried to reboot it by holding down the home and the off at the same time but that only turned it off and then back on and the same thing happened all over again. Now my iPad air only continues to reboot when I turn it on. Is it possible for Apple or Mac products to get a virus? I'm hope someone has a solution to this problem I'd like to know if there's anyone else out there that's experiencing this issue with the iPad Air.

This is not a virus. It sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

Having trouble syncing iPad to get movies onto it.....any ideas?

For some reason I am having trouble syncing movies onto my iPad. They are in my iTunes library, I check the box hit apply/sync then nothing.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Been there, done that...........
It appears that when I sync it seems the sync is syncing the computer with the iPad not iPad with computer.
I have delegated all movies on iPad when I check some movies on iTunes it adds the purple bar at the bottom and availability of space decreases accordingly. When I hir apply/sync it goes through the process then when finishes step four the purple bar at the bottom goes and available space increases again.

Issues syncing iPad

Currently I am unable to add and remove music and video to/from my iPad during the syncing process.
I have unchecked the playlists and video I want to remove from my iPad and sync using my laptop, however the playlists/videos have not been removed.
I am also wanting to add some videos (home movies converted to proper format for iTunes play) to my iPad and the syncing process with that will not work either. Works with my iPhone 4S just fine, adding a Home Video category.
Adding and removing apps works just fine.
I have tried the sync process with the cable and via wi-fi. App syncing works just fine both ways however movies/music will not work either way.
I have powered off my iPad as well as done a reset with the home/power button process. I have closed and reopened iTunes as well as rebooted my laptop and nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Currently running iOS 7.0.4 with Windows 7.

Since updating iTunes to the newest version 10.1.4, I've had issues with syncing as well. I wound up deleting iTunes and reinstalling it. You won't lose any of your libraries in the process, but it has made things work better.
Here's how to delete and reinstall iTunes. You must delete in the specific order detailed.

For those users having issues syncing outlook exchange to iphone read this

I just went through **** on my network getting iphone OS3.0 to sync with exchange and it was so easy once I figured out why,
scenario: you go through the wizard, not the imap one but the exchange button, put in all your info, have it fail on the autodiscovery and enter in your webmail server address, and nothing, fails to verify or verifies and nothing appears but your inbox, heres why,
if you go and run the tests from the exchange server (or have your IT folks do it)
its http://testexchangeconnectivity.com
run the exchange activesync test (lower one) not the with autodiscover - thats for 2007 exchange users,
you will need the following ports open on your front end server or firewall
80 143 443 465 and 993 (this covers all the iphone sync ports needed) you can open 25 if you choose imap, but you wont need imap
run the test, and if it passes and you dont get mail here's why, theres a http://500 error on the sync feature, because Winblows uses kerberos authentication on the backend, so you need to enable IWA (or integrated windows authentication)to do this remote into or go to the exchange backend server you need to enable integrated windows authentication on the /exchange virtual directory inside IIS, i know microsloth states use the ESM, but dont, once the change is made on the backend server restart it or restart iis services through the iis snapin,
if you do not have access to the exchange server backend you can buy your it guy some cookies or a food gift (we all love food) and they might be nice and do it,
* update *I have recieved a few emails about certificates, there are (2) ways to do this,
either use the iphone configuration utility - slow way
or email your self signed certificate to yourself and download it on your iphone either through safari and the owa interface or an external gmail or other account. save the cert and it will automatically put itself on the iphone and all you need to do is click/touch install
other issues, please respond. I am a Engineer with 21yrs experience, and vast experiences in multiple platforms, including the elusive iphone.

I'm not sure if this fits with the problem I'm having (but I really hope it fixes it!)
I have a 3G, upgraded to 3.0 the day it was released. Everything was fine until 3 days ago. I have 2 accts set up through the mail app, one is a Yahoo and one is Exchange (for work). Both accounts have always worked perfectly. Suddenly, the iphone Exchange acct stopped accessing my inbox. Yahoo is fine. My calendar and contacts are still syncing to exchange. I can open the mail in my outbox,trash,sent folders. I can send mail from the exchange account on my iphone. It will show me names of the subfolders in my inbox on the iphone - but everytime try to get to the incoming mail, it tries to connect and says it can't est connection. IT says no changes to server. Tried hard reset, restor, delete acct. No luck.

Is anyone else having issues with IPad 1 crashing with the new update? Any advice

Please let me know if you are having the same issues and what you did to resolve. Thank you

My iPad 1 crashes every time I connect to the internet now. I assume it has something to do with a recent update and it is very annoying. It started happening about every hour or so and now happens about every few minutes. Thanks for anyone who has suggestions.

HT1947 Having trouble syncing iPad to Apple TV

I am trying to sync my tv to my iPad . Not sure what I'm doing.

If you mean have the display be mirrored to the Apple TV, displaying what you see on the iPad onto the TV, you'd need an iPad 2. Visit the link below to learn more.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airplay.html
If you mean sync as in put the media you have on your iPad onto your Apple TV, you will have to go to the 'Internet' section of the Apple TV, and scroll down to Photo Stream to view your photos. To stream your music from the cloud, you will need to pay a subscription to iTunes Match, which is $24.99 a year, allowing you to stream all of your music on all of your iDevices while upgrading your ripped CDs and music acquired from other sources to iTunes quality music. Or you can leave your computer on and ultilize the 'Home Sharing' feature under the 'Computers' section in Apple TV.
If you have anymore questions, respond back.
