Having problem getting iPad 1 to sync with my PC

Having trouble getting the iPad my son in law gave me to sync with my PC

This time it says it syncs in 3 steps, but nothing transfers from my PC - like contacts, bookmarks, etc - to the ipad.
Nothing at all? So you have apps or songs in iTunes that you used to sync to the old iPad? If so, did you try syncing them to the iPad that your son gave you?
Connect the iPad to your PC and let iTunes do its thing. After it "syncs", click on the iPad name under the devices heading in the left sidebar. If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menus at the top. Then click on the Info Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right and see if the contacts and bookmarks are selected to sync. Do the same with all of the other tabs in iTunes....apps, music, photos...whatever you had been syncing to the old iPad.

  • Cannot get Ipad to sync with windows 8.1

    I cannot get my new Ipad to work with Itunes.  I have tried rebooting both systems, changed connections and i do not see the device when trying to select the device

    Good to hear.
    There seems to be a glitch with one of the iTunes updates, where it's not updating all the drivers somewhere. The way to fix it is to get rid of the programs, which removes the drivers, so iTunes can then write the good ones.

  • Having trouble getting your iphone sync with itunes? Click here.

    I, myself, has been one of the many people facing issues with their iphone (5S) being recognized or syncing with itunes after the new update, however, after calling an apple specialist, she taught me how to fix the problem.
    You have to completely uninstall itunes and all of it's components (Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support). Simply uninstalling itunes won't do the trick. You have to manually uninstall all of the listed program in your computer's uninstall programs page.
    Please uninstall it in this specific order
    - itunes
    - Apple Software Update
    - Apple Mobile Device Support
    - Bonjour
    - Apple Application Support
    And then reinstall the latest itunes at :

    Connect your iphone and it should be good to go! It definitely worked for me! Hope this helps you! Cheers!

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Can't get iPad to sync with iTunes on Windows XP

    I have my iTunes account. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. I plug the iPad into the USB port and nothing. No window with any kind of prompting. The iPad is charged and seems to be asking me to hookup to iTunes. I have tried all 6 USB ports on my computer. The iPad was given to me as a "hand-me-down" gift. Very kind of the previous owner, but she cleared ALL her old information and I now have to start from scratch. Any advice?

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • I have an iPad 2. It synced all my information from my Android to the ipad.  I cannot get my calender on my ipad to sync with iCloud.  Can anyone help?

    have an iPad 2. It synced all my information from my Android to the ipad.  I cannot get my calender on my ipad to sync with iCloud.  Can anyone help?

    Okay, this is interesting, because I was under the impression that FOR IOS DEVICES, contacts are NOT included in a backup, since they are already on icloud (in the contact database).  And since you erased the contacts, then they are gone for good.  One recommendation I've read about is, assuming you have a computer like a Mac also connected to the same icloud account, you can get the contacts back from a backup of the computer, like Time Machine.  However, I don't know where you'd look for that file or files (even though the contacts are stored centrally on icloud, I'm guessing they are also stored locally in a cache file).
    I think another suggestion made here (IIRC) is to turn off syncing of contacts (on the device), then do a restore.  Since there's no sync, icloud's empty contact database will not overwrite the local contacts on the deviced.   Again, I may not be remembering correctly.  Some of these older posts about this same problem were some time ago.
    I'd welcome anyone who really knows the details on this to add to the discussion here.  This is an issue faced by many posters.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

    How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

    I've done all of these things, and nothing is working. I understand how the cloud is supposed to work, and I understand how to sync via itunes. For some reason, the calendar is the only thing that isn't syncing.
    I have support on the phone now. We've figured out that if I make a calendar entry on icloud from my PC, it follows through on my phone and ipad. Same if I make the entry on my iphone - it follows to icloud on my PC and ipad. But when I make the entry on the ipad, it doesn't follow through to my iphone or icloud on my PC.
    I've had a tech walking me through all of this for about a half hour now. Can't figure it out. He's checking with his senior tech, has me on hold right now. It's looking like I may have to make a trip to my nearest Apple store, 45 minutes away.

  • When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library.

    When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I only have one iTunes account, so I am a little confused. If I select the option to "Transfer Purchases, I get an error message that says "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    Any suggestions is appreciated.

    Have you synced to this computer before?

  • Ipad not Syncing with iTunes

    I am having increasing problems with getting my iPad to Sync with Itunes on my 17" MacBook Pro.  Both Mac OS and iTunes up to date with latest software as is the iPad.  The trouble started a couple of months ago with some apps failing to sync.  I deleted them from the iPad and then it was ok for a while, however this has repeated itself with an increasing frequency.
    Today, whenever I connect my iPad to Itunes it will not sync.  It starts with the message "Waiting to Sync" then after a while briefly displays Cancelling Sync and then stops.  If I try and move from the Summary tab in iTunes to the Apps tab I get the spinning ball of death and iTunes hangs until I either Force Quit or unplug the iPad.
    Interestingly there is no problem when I connect my wifes iPad to my Macbook Pro.  However I have the same problem when I try to connect to iTunes on her MacAir.
    I have reset my iPad's settings.  I have restarted my Mac and iPad numerous times.  I have deleted all the iPad backup files on iTunes and done just about everything I can find with respect to things even remotely similar from the web or discussion boards.  Logically I have to assume it is something on my iPad however everything else is working fine - or so it seems.
    Anybody else out there with this or a similar problem or any suggestions???
    Thanks in advance.

    I want to start off by saying the latest update is the worst piece of software I have ever tried downloading onto my computer. After three unsuccesful updates directly from Itunes I downloaded it to file and then installed three times before it succesfully installed. At this point Itunes would freeze when trying to recognize my Ipad, Ive reinstalled twice more including individual installs of Quicktime and Itunes and NOTHING is making this worthless software work. I am not impressed at all Apple, as a matter of fact I'm tempted to NEVER buy another Apple product again because of how poor this latest update is. but whatever, some help would be nice.
