I can't sync my ipad 5 with my mac 10.5.8

why I can't sync my ipad 5th With my macBook 10.5.8

There's not an iPad 5th generation. The newest is the 4th generation. To sync it requires that you run OS 10.6.x minimum and iTunes v11.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

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
Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download

Hi cdag144,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to sync. If you are unable to sync because your iPad isn't showing up in iTunes at all (you mention it showing up as a device on the computer), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

I can't sync my iPad 3 with iTunes using the new Macbook Air

When I connect my iPad 3 with its original cable to my new MacBook Air, the charge symbol in the iPad starts to blink and the iTunes keeps connecting and disconnecting the iPad (more than one time per second).
I can sync my old iPhone 3GS with the new Macbook Air and I can sync both iPhone and iPad with my old 2009 MacBook.
I found similar questions in the forum, but didn't find a solution. I can charge my iPad using the outlet, by I still need to backup and sync the iPad.
BTW, every software is updated.

Can I sync my iPad to the same Mac that my iPhone is synced to

I just got my iPad and wasn't sure if I am able to sync it with the same iMac that my iPhone is synced too? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to wipe out all of my iTunes library.

If you want to have the mostly same content on both devices - it probably makes more sense to restore your iPad from the iPhone backup. this will put all of your app settings and email settings onto the iPad and any app data and game saves as well will transfer to the iPad.
You still want to sync the iPad so that all of the apps and photos that are in your iTunes library transfer over to the iPad. Restoring from the backup doesn't restore apps, music, synced photos, movies, books, TV shows and podcasts - you will still need to sync that content to the iPad.
I have pretty much have the same content on my iPad and on my Touch, but I eliminated the Movies and TV shows from the Touch and some apps as well. Remember that iPhone specific apps may run OK on the iPad - they will run in the iPhone smaller screen size and while you can double the size by tapping on the 2X button in the apps, they will be lower resolution because you just doubling the size of the pixels and the apps look kind of crappy on the iPad - they may work - they just look bad.
I do not auto sync at all. Nor does iTunes open automatically when my iDevices are connected. I start iTunes on my own and I select all of the content - piece by piece - app by app and so on - as I go along. Once you get through the initial set up - iTunes remembers each device and it's content for the next time that you sync.

I can't sync my iPad contacts with iPhone contacts

I Have all my contacts on my iPhone, but can't get them transferred and synced on my iPad. I have iCloud contacts turned on and bot iPad and iPhone use the same username and password. I don't ever want my iPad to over write a contact on my iPhone but always want my iPhone to overwrite those on the ipad
i can't get it to work?
I have turned off and on the iCloud's contacts syncing on both iPad and iPhone in all possible configurations...
help?

Hello Texasgrillchef,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I see you have already turned off iCloud contacts on your devices to help troubleshoot this syncing issue, however there are some further steps I'd like you to follow through.
iOS
After each step, check to see if the issue still exists.
Make sure that iCloud Contacts is on
Tap Settings > iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and make sure that Contacts is on.
Update your iOS device
Make sure that you're using iOS 5 or later. To see your version, Go to Settings > General > About > Version.
If your issue continues, install the latest version of iOS that's supported by your device.
Check your Internet connection
Try to go to www.apple.com in Safari. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts won't update in the Contacts app. You can get help with your Internet connection.
Open a secure website from your iOS device to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Contacts requires access to port 443 to push updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
Refresh your contacts
If recent changes don't appear in Contacts on your iOS device, try refreshing:
In iOS 7, open Contacts, tap Groups in the upper-left corner, then swipe down to refresh the list of groups.
In iOS 6 and iOS 5, open Contacts, tap Groups in the upper-left corner, then tap the Refresh button in the upper-left corner.
Check your settings
Make sure that your device is set to display iCloud contacts:
Open Contacts and tap Groups in the upper-left corner.
Make sure All iCloud is selected.
See if a contact is stored with iCloud or another service, such as Google or Yahoo:
Open Contacts and tap Groups in the upper-left corner.
Deselect the All [account] option for any third-party, such as Gmail or Yahoo.
Make sure All iCloud is selected.
View your contacts. If the contact isn't visible, then it exists in a third-party account.
You can import the contact from a third-party service into iCloud. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
You need to make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
If you want new contacts to appear automatically on your devices.
If you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo) and recent changes to Contacts on your iOS device don't appear on your other devices.
See if iCloud is your default account:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
In the Contacts section, tap Default Account.
Make sure iCloud is selected.
Restart Contacts
Close and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
iOS 7:
Double-click the Home button to see your open apps.
Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up to close the app.
Press the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute, then reopen the Contacts app.
iOS 6 or iOS 5:
Double-click the Home button to open the multitasking menu.
Touch and hold the Contacts icon until it jiggles.
Tap the X to remove it from the list.
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Wait a minute, then reopen the Contacts app.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn Contacts off.
You can choose Delete from My [device] if your data exists at icloud.com/contacts and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep on My [device].
Wait a few minutes, then turn Contacts back on.
Restart your device
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the slider when asked to power off. Turn your device back on.

Take care,

How can I sync my iPad mini with itunes version 10.6.5? My mac says it is up to date.

My iPad mini won't sync up to my iMac as it says I need a different version of iTunes. when I try to update iTunes it says I am already up to date. Any suggestions?

You need iTunes version 10.7 or later. Your OS, however, Mac OS X 10.5.8, does not support a newer version of iTunes. You need to upgrade your computer's OS. If your Mac has an Intel processor, buy Snow Leopard: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It is compatible with the latest version of iTunes.

I can't sync my ipad calendar with my Macbook the choice to select calendar is not available?

I have the latest itunes and have been able to sync my music but not calander or contacts. It states the calandar and contact are being sync'd via the icloud but the ipad still isn't updating with the data. The choice to select calander doesn't appear in the itunes sync screen where the calendar option is shown. What am I doing wrong? It doesn't sync via the USB either,

On the iPad...
Settings > iCloud.
Turn Calendar to Off.
Select Delete from iPad.
Wait till it finishes turning off Calendar then turn it back On.
