HT1386 Old version of ios on ipad.. won't sync...
i have ios 3.2.2 and it won't let me update to the newest ios. any suggestions?
It sounds like you might have a corrupt backup.
Launch iTunes on your PC and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See if you have multiple backups. If you do, delete all but one backup. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Reboot your computer and then try again. Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Your iTunes might be corrupt as well, but since the iPad is stuck on the backup I'm assuming for now that the corrupt backup is causing iTunes to crash. Is iTunes updated on your computer?

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!
Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ... -

Hi BillsterG,
So it sounds as if you are trying to restore your iPad but can not get past the Connect to iTunes screen, is that right? Use the steps in this article to continue -

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?
Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received! -
IPad won't sync; instead tells me it's syncing for 2 seconds without result
Hey
Here's my problems:
My iPad won't sync to my computer
My iPad's system time and calendar are messed up after the failed sync
What happens:
Once I connect my iPad to my PC with iTunes open, it starts to sync
Two seconds later, iTunes tells me the sync is finished
Nothing new appears on my iPad, and my the time and calander are messed up
What I've tried:
manual sync (only works for music)
reboot computer
reboot iPad
uninstal and reinstal iTunes
Info (I'm not sure if all of this is relevant):
I just switched from a 32 bit Windows XP to a 64 bit Windows 7 computer
My iTunes is also 64 bit
I'm using a different iTunes account than I was before, and I've successfully downloaded books and music with it on my iPad
The iTunes library is in the right place (it's on an external hard drive, just like it was on my old computer); I can see and play the music on my computer
I have an iPad 1, latest software update available; it's about two years old
My computer runs on 110 volts, and my iPad runs on 220 volts (I baught my iPad in europe and moved to the US a few weeks ago; I use an adapter to recharge it, which works fine)
I've tried different USB ports, all directly in my computer
Thanks for reading all this :/ Hope anyone knows whats wrong. ThanksSOLVED
It turned out I still had apps installed from my previous iTunes account (Apple ID), which I deleted and re-installed using the new account. After that, it worked perfectly -
I had to reinstall iTunes and now my iPad won't sync.
I tried to upgrade with 11.1.4 and everything go messed up (Windows 7 user). I ended up going back to a later version of data on my computer. Then I was able to reinstall iTunes. My iPhone is syncing like it should, but my iPad won't sync. I've lost the App Sore icon and others. Not sure what to do. I refreshed my iPad but nothing is working.
attach a screenshot of the error unless that's all of the error message.
if it is, Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements -

My iPad won't sync my iCloud documents
My iPad won't sync my iCloud documents,neither will my computer, and I have everything checked and updated. From the "Document and Sharing" box to the password being rewritten a thousand times. I also have space in my iCloud memory. What to do? URGENT
Hello Modean,
It sounds like you have deleted and re added the iCloud account to your iPad but none of the iCloud content will sync to this one device. I have a few things to recommend for you. First, delete the iCloud account again from Settings > iCloud. Then close all the apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, reset the network settings on your iPad then retest the issue:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

My ipad won't sync photos, need help please
my ipad won't sync photos anymore, anyone out there can help
You could try clearing the photo cache.
You could also try a reset of the iPad and see if photos sync after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
How can I buy more iCloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed
How can I buy more icloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed. I cannot press settings or close and cannot even turn off?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it. -
Hi,
I hope someone can help. There was something wrong with my Ipad so I had to reset it back to the factory settings. Now the Ipad won't sync to Itunes and only factory installed apps will open. Does this mean that this Ipad is DOA and it is time for a new one? Or is there anything else I can do? It is a 1st generation Ipad.
Thanks for the help in advance.if all that does not work you can always try to do a recovery mode restore back to factory settings and then set it up as a new device then try to redownlaod every thing again

My iPad won't sync. I didn't used to have any trouble but now it says that "The iPad cannot be synced. Unkown error (1150)." It is a loaner from the school but I never had trouble syncing music or apps to it before.

Cannot remove items in wishlist from page 2 in iTunes 9
The title pretty much says it all. There are 40 items in our wish list. On page 1 (consisting of 25 items), the little "x" appears to remove an item from the wish list. On page 2, no such "x" occurs, no matter how you hover over the item. Thus, we're
