I am trying to sync my iPad to PC but says i need iTunes 10.5 pr later.

I am trying to sync my iPad 1 with my pc so I can download pictures. The pc has iTunes and I have also downloaded iOS 5 on the iPad. The pc says it won't link with the iPad as it needs to have iTunes 10.5 or later. I have gone on the apple website on the iPad but when I try to down load latest version of iTunes it takes me to the iPad page and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to solve?

You need to install the latest version of iTunes on your PC - not the iPad. Go here to download an install.

IPad says I need iTunes 10.1 or later, but I can't download on my G4 'cause I have 10.4.11 and need 10.5 or later to download newest version of iTunes. Get around?

Just got an iPad. I have a PowerPC G4 OS X 10.4.11 at home (Tiger). I tried to sync with my iTunes but it says I need iTunes 10.1 or later. I tried to download the newest version of iTunes and it says I need OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or later. How do I use my iPad without having to upgrade my home G4 to a Leopard?
If anyone can help me get around this, I really appreciate it!

I am pretty sure that you can still but Leopard - maybe even search the online Apple Store.
If it were feasible and affordable, the ideal situation would be to upgrade your Mac - buy a new one with Snoe Leopard on it. That's easier said than done with you having just bought an iPad. But Leopard will be as high as you can go on the Power PC and soon Lion will be here.
I recently (3 months ago) upgraded my Leopard MacBook to Snow Leopard in anticipation of Lion. I love Macs and Apple products, but at some point, as with other tech devices, you have to upgrade to keep up with the technology.
Good luck!

Trying to sync ipod - all songs erased but still showing in itunes

I've had my ipod for two years, no problem, just went to sync and everything on ipod was erased, but everything still appears in itunes. Getting the following error message: Songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist. But they do exist...any ideas?

Hi, Thanks for replying. I created a smart playlist but when I went to change the ipod settings in itunes, "ipod options" did not come up in the menu. All I have is open, eject, sync, transfer purchases and reset warnings. Any ideas?

IPad is full but says it needs charging and won't start

After charging my iPad all night long from a wall plug in sleep mode, it says it needs charging when I unplug it and won't start. Even holding the two buttons doesn't do anything. I know it's charged because after leaving it unplugged for some time (can take from a quarter of an hour to a whole day) if i reset it, it miraculously decides to work, and when it does, the battery level is at 100%. This is a real pain.
Anyone else has had the same issue? Any idea how to fix it?

Work through the tips in http://support.apple.com/kb/YS3281 and see if that helps. If not, a visit to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs would be in order.

I'm trying to download songs to my iPhone , but says I need to answer my security questions first . What do I do if I forgot my security questions ?

how can I reset my security questions if I don't remember them and if my account has been locked for to many try's ?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

my new iphone 5 is not syncing with my mac computer- computer says i need itunes 10.7; i downloaded 10.7 but it still is not syncing

If you didn't install 10.7, install it. If you did, launch iTunes straight from the Applications folder.

Trying to sync my IPad but can't get it to "communicate" with my computer. Keeps telling me "not connecting"

I have been trying to Sync my IPAD to my computer for over an hour, I cannot get it to show that it's "plugged" in. I keep getting the "not charging" showing in my upper corner. Is there anything I can do to get it to sync?
There is nothing wrong with the cable as I just synced my IPHONE and have synced with my IPAD in the past. I am beyond frustrated.

Let me take up the comment by King Penguin who is right about the charging issue with some computers: not all USB 2 ports are equal apparently. However, I did read somewhere that even those that are not showing a charging may allow some trickle-charging to occur (take you about 12 hours to notice anything).
However, I think the problem here is that not only is charging not taking place, but the iPad is not shown in the sidebar. There are usually two possible causes here: the hardware (which in BrookeLeigh's case could be the iPad or its connector) or the software.
In the latter case, no iOS device will probably be shown (IPad, iPhone or iPod touch), which could be what is afflicting tahnehdo. Nonetheless, before trying some of the fixes Apple suggests, a check with another cable (or computer -- be careful not to sync) might tell you if this is hardware.
If not, Apple KB documents are useful in tracking down and fixing the problem. Start with this http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/ Troubleshooting guide and work your way through. Note there are different processes for Windows and Macs.
It would be helpful if you could put some more information as even knowledge of the OS will mean a different approach may need to be taken. We do not know if it is iPad 1 or 2, the OS, the computer you have or if you have other iOS devices that could help you in analysis.

Does anyone get failure EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) when trying to Sync your Ipad with Itunes ?

Hello,
I encounter a problem when trying to sync my iPad.
The problem occurs after a few seconds when syncing and after that everytime when trying to open iTunes.
I did not install anything in particular and have still over 20gb of free space on my hard disk.
The first lines of the error message are displayed below.
I have tried everything I found on the internet (such as deleting a specific font in my font library), but nothing really made the error disappear.
Did anyone encounter the same problem and got rid of it ?
thanks in advance,
mathieu

I have the same problem recently.
I emailed them, and a tech/support person emailed me back and told me it was a potential third party app causing it.
She said if you have any: web accelerators, firewall, or other stuff running it would cause it, but I tried to disable and unistall programs and still the same problem.
Also I tried to uninstall and start fresh and same deal, even with a new stand alone version, same problem.
I keep getting a bad kernel error when it crashes, check out here:

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?

I am trying to sync my iPad to my computer. When I do, I am told that "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad"

I am trying to sync my iPad to my computer. When I do, using either WiFi or USB connection, I receive the following message: "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad "XXX". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I have deauthorized and reauthorized repeatedly, and even trashed the SC folder, but the symptom continues. I am using OS 10.9.3. iOS 7.1.1, and iTunes 11.2.2. Suggestions/solutions would be welcome!

A link in the article that Texas Mac Man provided has several troubleshooting steps for "repeated requests for authorization":
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Take a look to see if any of those steps will clear up you issue.

The search bar can be very valuable...........
In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad? If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........
