HT201412 First time sync with PC fail

I have tried to sync my new Ipad with my PC and it wont do it. It says it needs a system restore and when I click that to do it, it says restore fail. Its showing a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing upwards to an itunes symbol as if to say I need to connect. But when I do it wont connect with itunes. I have disabled my security and reinstalled itunes and still nothing. I have only had it about 7 weeks and this is the first time I have plugged it into my PC. Any thoughts please'

Thanks, I have tried that a number of times and it brings up errors -1, 14 and one other, cant remember what that was, it just wont do it. I have been using it overseas with a NZ sim card in it and have taken that out to see if that made a difference, just wont recover. Bit of a worry. Any other thoughts

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

First time Sync with iPad qustions

Hi everyone. I just got home with my new iPad, and after plugging into iTunes I go through the processes. At the point of "set up your iPad" screen I get two options:
'Set up as new iPad' and 'Restore from the back up of:' and there is a drop down menu with my iPhone and iPod listed.
At the top of these choices there is a message that reads: "An iPad has been previously snyced with this computer"
There has never been a iPad synced with this computer. I would like all of my music synced with the iPad, but I don't want to loose on my phone either.
What to do?
Thanks

I synced as NEW iPad and all is well. The option to sync all content, ie music, photos etc was there and it is all now on my ipad.

ICS 5.1: first time sync with PDA unable to transfer events?

I am using the iPlanet Synch software (beta build 260) and I think I have tried every possible way to sync the PDA with iCS and have also tried to sync the Palm Desktop calendar to iCS 5.1. I can reset everything to sync the PDA with our older Netscape Calendar Server, then remove the Netscape Palm conduit, then sync back to the Palm Desktop software. At that point I have events synchronised between the Palm Desktop and the PDA itself. Then when I install the iPlanet Synch software version 2.6 and configure to connect to the iCS 5.1 server, I can connect successfully but I get an error: unable to add event, synchronization aborted. My original events have minimal descriptions and no fancy fields. There must be a way to get this to work without deleting all events!
If you have any ideas about where to look ...

Not too sure if you have but make sure your exact and entire library has been imported, including all metadata and random files , not just the individual music files.
To import a library(Make sure you have consolidated your files first):
- Find it: (Usually under My Music)
-Copy over the entire itunes folder
- In itunes, click file, library, import. Locate the library you`ve just copied over (The itunes folder)
- Let itunes do it`s thing
-This will replace your current itunes library(Empty) with the old one(Including your songs and such)
After you`ve imported your library, Try these things:
- make sure your computer is authorized for the new content (Under store, click authorize this computer)
- if you have jailbroken, try restoring (Make sure to backup before trying this)
If it still says that it will erase your files, your library is either corrupt or incorrectly transferred.
If this is the case, it is rather inconvenient.
- Backup everything to icloud (Contacts, Mail etc.)
- Transfer all purchases to itunes
- Let itunes deleteeverything and re sync. (Make sure everything is backed up and that all your files are in itunes)

HT1296 i have an ipad with many application, will the first time sync erase all the data?

i have an ipad with many application installed on it, will the first time sync with itunes erase all the installed applications on the device?

The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.

HT201412 My screen is not display and when i try to sync with my iTunes with will not allow me to sync becuase this would be my first time syncing to itunes.

please help....This is my first time syncing to itunes and it it asking me to allow access, please respond on your ipad. this is my problem becuase my display not showing up so i cannot respond.
the only thing i can think of that happened was when there was a software update a few days and thats it.
Anyone know how i can get this resolved please and thank you.

Try this before trying to sync. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

HT204053 Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

Large first-time sync fills up C: drive

I just got a new 80GB video iPod for Christmas. I store a large number of ripped music files, one season of a TV series, and some photos on an external hard drive, and manage them through iTunes. The grand total for all this content was around 60GB. Long ago, I configured iTunes to use the G: drive (the external hard drive) as the location for all my content.
The first-time sync to the new iPod went fine--automatic, not manual--except that something kept filling up the C: drive. (Again, the music is actually stored on an external G: drive.) I de-installed things during the sync to free up extra GB of space. As soon as they disappeared, iTunes kept filling them up. I'm now out of hard disk space on C:, with no idea what iTunes or the iPod did to fill up this space.
If there's some cache that needs to be cleared, nothing has cleared it yet, and I have no idea where to find it (or what the consequences of clearing it will be). The process seemed smart enough to use what space was available, but no more. In other words, the sync continued, even after there was no room left on the C: drive.
I had recently updated iTunes, which for reasons unknown, blew away my music library. I had just rebuilt it before doing the sync.
The lack of space on the home PC puts me in a dangerous situation, given how fussy WIndows gets when it doesn't have spare room on the hard disk to use for updates and other operations. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Here are other specifics, for what they're worth:
Operating system = Windows XP
iPod firmware version = 1.2 (couldn't update to 1.2.1 because of the lack of disk space)
iTunes version = 7.0.2
External hard disk = Western Digital, mounted via USB
iTunes option, Keep iTunes Music folder organized = true
Podcast subscriptions = none
HP desktop Windows XP See posting

There isn't any cache for iTunes, other than the buffer for streaming radio. What you might want to do is search your My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder and see if there is anything in there other than the .xml library file. I know you did a search for *.mp3 but check it anyway...there is a chance that iTunes converted the files from *.mp3 to *.m4a (AAC audio)

First time sync setup - Firefox 5.0 - nothing happening

First time sync setup - Firefox 5.0 - When I click on "Create a new account," nothing happens. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Try downloading Firefox again, then uninstall Firefox, remove the program directory, and install it all over again.

First time working with fcpx

first time working with fcpx; how to get my drives ( internal & external) visable in libraries?

may I throw in some really 'Evangelistic' thought?
Stop thinking in 'drives' (folders/files)!
.. or any other 'manually' organizing structure. FCPX is first-of-all a database; tagging, keywording, smart-list - all faster, better, more flexible and much more convenient than any 'drawer based scheme'.
... ok, that was a bit pathetic, and for sure, you should know how to utilize external drives...-
But when you keep starring on the Finder, you'll soon will be surprised, how FCPX manages to store 10Gigs on a 5GB-drive! (keyword 'hard/sym links')...
... no more 'drives'! Just Libs!

SbRIo time sync with SNTP server

Hi!
I'm syncronizing a sbRIo with a time server as described here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F2B057C72B537EA2862572D100646D43?OpenDocument
I've a couple of questions:
1) what happens if the time server becomes unreachable?
2) can source.sntp.address be specified as a name address to be rosolved by a DNS? (It seems to me that if the name can't be resolved the board boots in safe mode...)
thanks in advance for any reply,
Marco
p.s. sorry for cross-posting (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Real-Time-Measurement-and/sbRIo-time-sync-with-SNTP-server/m-p/1951123),
but the problem is quite urgent...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Marco,
1) If the SNTP time server becomes unreachable, the cRio will update the local time independently, starting from the last time value get from the server
2) You are right, it doesn't work properly. The right way to express the SNTP source is using IP address

HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)
Now I'm pretty nervous re: syncing with ANYTHING-especially my iPod that has all my music I teach from at work.

Please help troubleshoot why SM-SRE WAAS module can't time sync with NTP server

I have a remote WAAS site where a SM-SRE-900 module is plugged in a 2945 router. Everything is fine except the module can't sync its time to the NTP server. Its NTP was configured right and it can reach the NTP server with no problem. There's no authentication configured. But somehow it can't associate with the NTP server. I have tried manual NTP sync, but it failed too.
The same NTP server and config is also used for many other WAAS site and the CM. They are all fine. I'm running WAAS 4.2.3 build 7. The module isn't showing any other alarms.
Here is some show outputs and the manual NTP sync result. I noticed its poll is only 64 seconds while all other sites are showing 1024 seconds.
waas1#sh ntp status
ntp enabled
ntp authentication disabled
server list:
Server           Key
10.0.0.1         -
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset jitter
==============================================================================
10.0.0.1        66.96.98.9       3 u   43   64 377   16.828 2359370 2421.24
waas1#ntp 10.0.0.1
16 Dec 22:06:20 ntpdate[9835]: bind() fails: Permission denied
Failed to set software clock using NTP server 10.0.0.1

What the SRE-900 have as it's time? Use the show clock command. Does it match within a few minutes of ntp already, if not, and if this is not the first first clock set out of the box, then ntp sync might fail.
You might try to manually set the clock correctly (set clock ... something), then see if the ntp server will sync.

Curve 8330 first time synch with data loaded into smartphone

With other smartphones, when I would perform my FIRST synch, if I did not take certain precautions (preset synch software to specific settings) I would wipe out all data on smartphone . Is this true for the Curve 8330? Are there specific settings so when I synch my phone for the first time with data I already loaded, I do not wipe it clean?

Hey TomPortua,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The first synchronization does not erase the data on the BlackBerry Smartphone unless synchronization options are configured to "Replace all data in the target application", by default this is not selected if it is configured for Two way sync.
Have a look at this article for more information no configuring the Desktop software for Synchronization:

I hope this helps, cheers!

Ovi First time sync

The first time I synced my mobile with Ovi it did included some telephone numbers and e-mail address for some of my contacts. The contacts were there with some basic info just missing the telephone (for example).
Any ideas as to what I did wrong?

PEople have experienced problems with ovi not showing all the necessary info in contact cards. Someone claimed that Ovi still stores all the info but is just unable to display it.
