HT1386 Syncing my iPad

How come my music that I didn't purchase from I tunes won't synce on my iPad

Do they show in the TV Shows section of that computer's iTunes ? If not and the account is authorised on that iTunes (via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu option) then you should be able to copy them over via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Copying them over to a computer won't delete them from an iPad, you will need to delete them yourself e.g. by pressing and holding one of them on the TV Show selection screen in the Videos app, after a second or two you should get an 'x' on its top corner

HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year. Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one. How can I correct this?

Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted. I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad. How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

HT1386 after syncing my ipad i still have the tv shows on my ipad. have they transferred?

Using my sons computer he synced my ipad to transfer my tv shows. The shows are still on my ipad. does that mean they did not transfer? I dont have any room to download anymore tv shows because they are still there. Clearly I am not good at using my ipad. Heeeeeeeeelp.

Do they show in the TV Shows section of that computer's iTunes ? If not and the account is authorised on that iTunes (via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu option) then you should be able to copy them over via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

HT1386 Having trouble syncing my ipad mini with iTunes

When I sync my ipad mini with my iTunes it appears the process is happening, the line indicating music is present on the ipad appears. But when the syncing is done the line disappears and no music has been loaded to the ipad.

Are you signed into the correct iD on the iPad in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID?
Do you have Sync only checked songs and videos selected in the Summary Tab of iTunes? If you do, are you selecting the music to sync? If you don't have that checked, have you selected the music to sync? Are you trying to sync the entire library?

Why didn't the contents of my iBook app on my iPhone transfer to my new iPad 3 when I synced the iPad in iTunes on my computer.? HELP PLEASE

Are all books and PDF files available in the iBooks app on your iPhone available in your iTunes library on your computer?
If so, is this content selected under the Books tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?

HT1386 Hi, I have an old powermac G4 laptop running OS X 10.5.8, can I sync my ipad mini with the version of itunes running on it?

Hi
I have a powerbook G4 laptop, A1095 running OSX 10.5.8
Can I sync my ipad mini with the itunes I have installed?
Regards
Gavin

Yes ... with regard to syncing. Actually, you need to be running OS X 10.6.8. This is copied from the iPad Mini tech specs website.
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

HT1386 I am trying to sync my iPad with my phone. I don't have a Mac so I can't use the above info. How do I sync iPhone and iPad using the cloud?

Syncing my iPad with my iPhone via wifi

It depends on what you mean by "sync the iPad with the iPhone". Technically, you can't sync the devices like you would sync with a computer anyway, so you can't think that way. You can keep the two devices in sync, but if you want two devices with identical content on them, you have to restore one device from the backup of the other device for starters.
After that, you would have to download the same apps on the one device that you have on the other device, download all of the same songs, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and so on. The you would have have iCloud enabled on both devices in order to keep app data in sync, if the apps work with iCloud. So enable iCloud on bit devices and go to Settings>iCloud and turn on all of the items in there...mail, notes, reminders, Safari, calendar, photo stream, contacts, documents and data, etc.
You would also have to turn on automatic downloads in Settings> iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads> on for songs, apps and books so that whatever you download on one device downloads to the other device.
If you have any apps that do not work with iCloud for the purposes of syncing app data, it will be impossible to keep the two devices identical total in content.

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

You do realize that the message means that you need to download iTunes on the computer and not on the iPad - correct? I just want to make sure that you know that.
If that is the problem, go here to download iTunes.

HT1386 iPad Air will not sync; message appears that sync server failed to sync the iPad

New iPad Air will not sync contacts and calendars to Outlook. Set up device in December, tried to sync today, Feb. 8th, after updating to iTunes 11.1.4.62; message appeared that iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPad because the sync server failed to sync the iPad. Uninstalled 11.1.4.62 and installed 11.1.3.8 and still would not sync. Synced an earlier generation iPad about 2 hrs. earlier today. What do I need to do?

I'm having a similar problem ... just used my iPad 2 to purchase the Bourne trilogy and it downloaded fine but I did not try to play it right away. Then I plugged the iPad into the computer and it downloaded the SD versions of the movie and I used iTunes to sync my movies. Then I tried to play it and it said it could not open the movie. I then did a full iPad restore and did a fresh sync and now I get the Cannot Opne pop up. Did you ever find an answer to your question?
