I-Pad 4 will not sync to itunes using a PC

My ipad and my iphone will not sync to itunes. when i plug it in the devices do not appear in itunes and itunes does not pop up automatically. on my ipad under itunes wi-fi sync it says that sync will resume when "india-PC" is available.

Now I see that you have wi-fi syncing set up. I see that because your first post says "under iTunes wifi sync ...".
So if you do not want to wifi sync, turn it off. When your i-device is plugged into iTunes, look on the summary page of your device and uncheck "sync with this i[Phone or Pad] over wifi". Instead, check "Automatically sync with the i[Phone, Pad[ when this device is connected".
Then plug your device into iTunes, and let it sync!
If you do want to wirelessly sync, then note these things from the User Manual:
Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes on the computer, select your iPhone (under Devices), click Summary, then turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection.”
When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs every day. iPhone must be connected to a power source, iPhone and your computer must both be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must be open on your computer. For more information, see iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on page 136.
After you configure Wi-Fi Sync, iPhone automatically syncs with iTunes once a day, when:
iPhone is connected to a power source,
iPhone and your computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and
iTunes on your computer is running.

New iPhone 5 will not sync to iTunes using wi-fi. Using cable OK.

I recently purchased an iPhone 5. Now, the iphone will not sync with iTunes via my home wi-fi where my old iPhone 4 did. I does sync using the cable. Is there something that I need to do?

It happened to me once.Basically I had to reset the wifi sync using a cable. Try connecting your iPhone to your computer using a cable. Uncheck the wifi sync box in iTunes, sync, then re-check the box. Hit apply, then disconnect the phone from the cable.

My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!

If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
Here's some other option for Windows users.
First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. 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 support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Shuffle Will not sync with iTunes

My shuffle will not sync with iTunes. It says it has sync'd, but when I try to play my songs, it gives me a message that I need to sync with iTunes. It even says in iTunes that my playlist is on my shuffle. Help?

Have you tried a Disk Repair in the Disk Utility?
Also, you could have a damaged iPodDriver.kext file.
You can replace it by doing an archive and install or
use a 3rd party extractor and get it from your
Install disk. Or copy it from a friends Mac.
I have tried the Disk Repair in Disk Utility and it says my iPod shuffle is perfectly normal. I then decided to erase it with Disk Utility using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but it didn't work, either. I am beginning to think this is a software problem with my computer...
I will try to replace the iPodDriver.kext file, but unfortunately, I lost the Tiger install disc. Can I use the install disc that came with my eMac (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, I think)? Please let me know soon, and thanks for helping!
P.S. If I can't install it from my eMac install disc, I think I will copy the iPodDriver.kext file from a computer at my library or somewhere else. I can also borrow a friend's Tiger disc and use Pacifist, a great program for extracting .pkg files, to get a fresh iPodDriver.kext file.

3GS Voice Memo appears in phone will not sync to iTunes

Yes, I'm on an antiquated phone but refuse to switch until a real 4G iPhone is released!
I recorded a very important interview yesterday. No matter what I do it will not sync to iTunes on my MBP. I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iTunes 10 with all updates applied.
I have gone through the recommended steps in other threads such as:
Consolidate my library.
Deleted playlists and re-created them.
Deselect sync items - sync - select sync items - sync
No go to all options. The memo is 30 minutes and too large to SMS or mail. Fortunately it's still on the phone, but i need to get it to my Mac to edit excepts and publish. Any suggestions?
