HELP - trouble syncing ipad and itunes

Hello - hopefully someone can help...before my head explodes.
I've been trying to sync my ipad with my itunes and I continue to receive the following error message: the ipad Kelly's Ipad cannot be synced - the required file cannot be found in addition to the following message on my ipad itself: itunes sync needed high resolution images synced via itunes are missing. connect your device to the computer you sunc photos from and launch itunes to sync them.
I have not done anything differently here...I've synced the same way millions of times. Nothing has changed. Anybody have any thoughts on this..???

After endless months of frustration about why my iPad would sometimes sync just fine and other times I'd keep getting the popup message:
iPad could not be synced because it could not be found
While perusing some Apple users' documentation for my old, first generation iPad, I finally found this one sentence buried deep:
iPad must be connected to a power source in order for it to sync.
So, it's not enough for your WiFi to be correctly configured and enabled on both the sending and receiving ends, you must have your device plugged into a power source anyway. Yes, it seems counter-intuitive because we tend to think of WiFi as doing away with the need for wires.

  • Can anyone help with my iPad and iTunes?

    I have just plugged in my ipad into my mac and it is asking do I wish to set it up as a new device or sync it with my other devices ie iPhone. My ipad has completely different devices and I do not wish to lose everything on my iPad. Can you help??

    Leighs21, I believe it is asking if you would like to Set the device up as new (with computer, Choose yes) or if you would like to restore from a backup of another device. Setting up as new is just on the computers end, not your entire device. This is because it is the first time you are plugging into itunes with that device or the first time after a restore or erased content and settings. Let me know if this helped you. Get an iCloud back up if you are concerned.
    Thanks,

  • How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto?  I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!

    I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!
    I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto.  However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD. 
    So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info.  That means no syncing....
    I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
    I am puzzled.  I appreciate for your advice and help.
    Thank you!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

    What error do you get if any?
    Have you tried connecting to another network besides your own?
    Do you use DHCP on your router or static IP address?

    Hi, I'm unable to see if I have any music/videos/photos on my ipad and itunes advise that I have 23gb of 'other' material therefore the sync is unable to perform when  transfering music/videos to the ipad. I was forced to perform a restore earlier and now cant see the videos/music so want to replace. Pls assist, thanks

    23 GB  of other indicates a corrupt file(s).  A restore should resolve.

  • Error message when syncing Ipad in itunes: unable to load data class

    Hi there:
    I t tried posting this question on the ipad community but no luck.
    What happened last night I was trying to sync/backup my ipad 2 running ios 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5 (?) for over an hour.  It stuck on step 2 of syncing ipad and it's been on that for a while.  when I get to step two, after it asks me if I want to sync my purchased on my ipad to itunes, I click ok.  then i keep getting the follow error message: itunes was unable to load data class information from Sync services.  reconnect or try again later.
    I keep trying and this message keeps popping up on step two;
    then in itunes when I click on my ipad under devices, itunes will freeze.
    I can't figure out what happened.  when I previously synced I had no problem and it was quick.
    I even tried to download itunes again and "repair" it but still same problem.
    Please help.
    thanks

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document, Jeff?
    iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

  • Lost my apps when sync iPad with iTunes

    when sync iPad with iTunes, apps purchased in iPad by another account were lost, and the apps can't be seen when check for available downloads. How to get back the purchased apps? thanks.

    If you lost all your apps on both the iPad and the computer, you can download the apps again at no cost. You can search your emails for app store purchases if you can't remember all the apps that you have downloaded.

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."

    I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is asking passcode to be entered - even after following directions for computers not synced... multiple times, but iTunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."  What do I do now?

    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Plug the iPhone into the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • 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 ?

  • Can't sync iPad after iTunes 11.0.3 update

    A bit perplexed.
    Trying to sync my iPad mini (iOS 6.1.3) and it is refusing.  No errors are shown in iTunes.
    I've tried switching off WiFi syncing and various other options.
    Every time the sync fails to do anything (either by USB or WiFi), this console log is written:
    23/05/13 10:04:29.392 AM AppleMobileSync[36597]: [0x10020c310] |ISyncManager|Warning| Could not retrieve ISyncClient with id com.apple.Keychain!
    I've also noticed that iTunes doesn't open when the iPad is connected.

    Hello Perapoika,
    I was researching what might be causing the iPad and iTunes not to sync with that error message. I have a couple recommendations. First restart the iPad, from iPad: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesnt cut the mustard, then it sounds like the keychain on the computer may need to be reset. Heres an article outlining how to do that. Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1544, then try again.
    Take Care,

    Hi dklblair,
    If you now have your AppleID set up and working on both your iPad and iTunes, it should be straighforward to set up syncing. You may find the following article useful:
