I cannot sync to itunes on my computer (Windows Vista 32 bit) with my mini conected.

I cannot sync to itunes on my computer (Windows Vista 32 bit) with my mini connected. What should I do?
My Mini will not boot up. I tried holding both buttons down.  I got a "connect to itunes" message. I connected. and nothing happens.

Hello there Chess-ster,
If I understand correctly your iPad mini is not being recognized in iTunes on your Windows Vista PC. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Start with these steps and work your way down as needed:
Restart
Turn off your computer and your iOS device, then turn them on again.
Update your computer
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

  • I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

    I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there.  However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually.  Can I still add stuff onto my two devices?  And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only?  Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices?  Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

    Morning @mb,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
    Music imported from a CD or another source
    iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.
    Best of luck,

  • Cannot do wifi sync after update IOS 6 using windows vista pc with itunes 10.7

    I cannot do the wifi sync,I am using IPAD 3 with IOS 6.I heard people said to do synchronous wireless.It would work I using Windows Vista,then I using Itunes 10.7.Somebody can help me  to solve these problem or give me feedback to solve these problem.

    Like many others, most of the the workarounds I tried worked but for awhile only and/or not reliably. After more googling and trial and error, I finally ended up with a somewhat reliable solution using the below 2 changes. (I am running up-to-date Win7 with an Ipad2 and an Iphone5 both on ios 6 + and up-to-date Itunes software on the PC).
    1)  Disable IPv6 on the wireless adapter (see CKNairb's earlier post)
    2)   Create a bat file which stops and starts the "Apple Mobile Device" service, then starts Itunes
    The bat file can be placed in any dir and a desktop shortcut created to point to it in order to easily start Itunes (right-clicking properties of the shortcut and clicking "Change Icon" will even allow the selection of the Itunes icon to make it look just right :-) )
    The bat file should contain these lines:
    net stop "Apple Mobile Device"
    net start "Apple Mobile Device"
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"
    Edit accordingly as to whether your Itunes.exe resides in \Program (x86) or \Program.
    By starting Itunes using this shortcut/bat file, you will ensure that the Mobile Device service is up and running when Itunes attempts to locate the devices wirelessly - this seems to be the key issue here.
    Although it is not 100% reliable, I would say that both devices are detected and synced 90% of the time. (Itunes will always find one of the 2 devices).
    Anyways, based on all I have gone through to get this work, I am willing to settle for "almost reliable" solution - hopefully this may work for others as well.
    Happy syncing!

  • Itunes question:  transferring playlists on itunes of old computer (Windows Vista) over to new pc.

    I'm having issues trying to bring over all music from old pc to new pc.  I have itunes installed on both computers.  I have both computers authorized for my 1 itunes account.  I see icloud on new pc and we signed up for imatch.  When I start up my old computer, I do not see icloud and am having issues installing it.
    When I plug my ipods (2) into the new computer itunes account, a msg window appears saying the ipod has been synced with another account and I will lose all information if I sync with the new pc itunes.  On the old computer, I have tried under "my account" page to "add this computer" under itunes in the cloud section but nothing happens when I click on this "add this computer" button.
    Can you help, Please!!
    Thanks,
    Margaret

  • Iphone 3gs cannot sync to itunes

    why my iPhone 3gs cannot sync to itunes? after i click synced, the phone seemed to sync to itunes but when it's about to complete, itunes cancelled the sync. WHYYYY? I've been having this problem since i've updated my iPhone to iO5.

    Two things to try:
    If you have a Windows computer open a Command window and type:
        netsh   winsock   reset
    If this doesn't fix it, or if you have a Mac, your current backup may be corrupted. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, highlight the backup and delete it.
    And if this still doesn't fix it, you may have a badly corrupted backup. Delete it manually by going the the Backup folder and deleting everything in it. You can find it as follows:
    Mac OS: ~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Cannot sync using itunes

    cannot sync the iphone to my computer
    Not allow to key in the sync in the pull down menu
    Help!

    The error was introduced with version 9.1 - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2390726&start=0&tstart=0
    What I did back then, was to uninstall all Apple applications, just to get a clean start, iTunes, Quick Time, Bonjour etc., rebooted, then installed version 9.0.3 and then it worked again.
    I found the old version at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
    ... and you guys at Apple, instead of giving us articles about the format of the MS Outlook pst file and directions to rename OpenSSL files etc., please fix the problem! - You introduced it, you fix it!

  • How do i move ipod nano content to a new Windows computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).

    Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.
    how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).  Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes?  seems very inflexible/inelegant...
    thanks for your help, sorry if this question has already been answered before!

    I cannot sync my iTunes library to my iphone5 can you help I get error message a connection could not be established to the iPhone

    Yes it is.
    Initially I got an error message saying can't connect because of Date & Time settings.
    Went in and re-verified that those were correct.
    Tried to update downloads and then got a new error message: "Can't connect to iTunes Store".
    I live in the US and that's where I created my iTunes a/d and Apple ID.
    I am currently in India --- can that coause confusion re date & time?

  • HT1212 hi, I have an Iphone 4 and I've recently changed my passcode but forgot it the next day. After several attempts to unlock the phone says iphone disabled connect to itunes however my phone is not synced to itunes or any computer so what do i do?

    HI,
    I HAVE AN IPHONE4, I CHANGED MY PASSCODE BUT FORGOT WHAT IT WAS THE NEXT DAY, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK MY PHONE BECAM DISABLED AND SAYING IPHONE DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES, HOWEVER MY PHONE ISNT SYNCED TO ITUNES NOR A COMPUTER, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT DO I DO AND HOW TO REGAIN ACCESS TO MY PHONE?

    You will have to put your phone into recovery mode and restore the phone as new. Since you don't have a back up, you will lose all the data on your phone but you will be able to use it again.
    Use this article iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

    Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • After syncing my itunes from my computer to my iphone4, the download icon at the top of my iphone will not stop.

    After syncing my itunes from my computer to my iphone4, the download icon at the top of my phone will not stop. It appears at all times as though I am in the middle of a download, but it is not connected to anything. 

    This is from a 4S with iOS 7 running iTunes Match:
    You won't see Edit if it's a Genius playlist (like the one in the image above).

  • I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?
