I used itunes to sync new ipad, not everything came over

I used itunes to sync between my mac and a new ipad. My old ipad had a few playlists with the media to play them. I also had been using itunes with this older ipad so I thought that these playlists and media would come over the new ipad after syncing it. They didn't, nor did the media to play them. How can I bring these playlists and media into the new ipad?

Did you select the playlists to sync in the music pane of iTunes? They must be selected to sync to the device. I'm not sure that I know what you mean when are talking about the media to play the songs. You have to sync the songs to the iPad as well and then you play the songs in the music app on the iPad.

Using iTunes to sync photos, ipad gets the frames but no image in them.

When I use iTunes to sync photos or faces, the iPad shows the frames only, but no images.

@Alan
I have copied the photos under MyPictures on my PC.
Basically it is the same, only that the limit above which iTunes is making nonsense is higher:
- using the MyPictures folder on the PC, I can sync 500 photos from 12 folders in one block and eveything is fine.
- using the external drive, I can sync only about 100 photos from 2 to 3 folders in one block or shot as you prefer
BUT, and that is the problem, BUT in both cases, going above (in terms of # of photos and folders) leads to random outputs:
- either I get a list of empty folders on the iPad with the message it failed to finish the sync
- or all photos are copied but then are mixed up within different folders in which case (I do not even get an error message). With mixed up I mean the following: a portion of the photos from PC:folder1 let's say 10) are copied to iPad:Folder8 that already contains the photos of PC:folder8 and iPad:folder1 does not contain these 10 photos, so iPad:folder1 is smaller as the original PC:folder1 and iPad:folder8 is bigger as PC:folder8
- or I get an error message within the copying process (-1401,-50, -1303)
The difference in behaviour is the size that can be copied in one shot to the iPad: bigger from the PC as from the hard disk drive attached to the PC.
Does this means that the speed at which it can copy makes the difference? This would be poor especially while thinking of iCloud Sync where the connection speed can be rather slow (for thousands of reasons).

I can't open iTunes to sync new iPad and iTouch-

I am trying to sync my sons new iTouch and my iPad- the iTunes icon will not open, saying I need to update my software- I have already done that and confirmed that with the tech support line- the error message reads "iTunes Library.itl" can not be read ecause it was created by a newer version of itunes.
What do I do???

give your iPad a reset. HOld down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
Is your iTunes up to date? If not, update it and try again.
You can also try using different USB ports and see if that helps.

HT1386 Used iTunes Restore For New Ipad

But applications will not open. Why?

If none of your apps will launch - reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I want to transfer a movie I have downloaded from itunes to my new IPAD. I have been on the itunes help menu, it tells me to look under 'devices' tab for IPAD. BUT there is no 'devices' tab and it does not list my new IPAD. Help!

I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos

The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos?

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

HT201250 Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet?

Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet? i want to buy an iPad Air and to forget my laptop and i think that even the 128 gb wont be enough some times. I am wandering if time capsule can be used as external hdd and to connect on it via wifi ...

No. You cannot access your Time Capsule directly from an iOS device. The only way to back up an iOS device is to a computer through iTunes or to iCloud, though in some cases you can open and save files via another cloud-based service such as Dropbox.

HT5858 how do i manage syncing to allow to merge or sync to iTunes or sync to iPad? i have a lot of music in my iPad which when i iwant to sync with iTunes in the desktop that will be erased as it is not available in my iTunes music file.

how do i manage syncing to allow to merge or sync to iTunes or sync to iPad? i have a lot of music in my iPad which when i iwant to sync with iTunes in the desktop that will be erased as it is not available in my iTunes music file?

is there any important stuff saved to your emails? if so you could log on to your emails from a seperate device and back them up. im not sure what else you could do :/

I use Yahoo mail on my Ipad 2 but I cannot see how to access my contacts. Other sites say I have to use Itunes. Surely this should not be necessary.

other message boards say I have to use ITunes . Surely this is not necessary. Why is there not a tab visible on the Yahoo mail screen as there is on my windows PC?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

HT2534 If I've downloaded iTunes on my new iPad but has some else's I'd on it how do I change it to my account details? So I can down load apps ect.?

I've downloaded iTunes on my new iPad but some one else's details come up when I try to download apps. How do I change it to my account details in Oder to download?

Do you sync with iTunes? If you do, you should be able to sync the iPad to iTunes in order to get the apps onto the iPad. If you have never synced the old iPad with iTunes, this will become just a little more complicated - if you want to use iTunes to transfer the apps.
Plus you can download them again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with. This explains downloading past purchases.

And no - they do not automatically appear or download on the new iPad. And you do not have to turn the old iPad off.

Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.

It says please use itunes to sync music..

Just bought a new ipod shuffle. I can listen to the songs from my mac, but when I eject, it says please use itunes to sync music. I placed the button in the middle that didn't solve the issue.

In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of the window) visible? If not, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, under DEVICES, when you connect both shuffles at the same time, both should be listed there, but only one of them appears, correct?
The blinking orange light means the shuffle's disk is mounted, so it is definitely connecting. And you said earlier that it appears in My Computer. What you should try is a Restore. However, you cannot do a Restore, unless it appears in iTunes. So, you may want to try erasing (reformatting) the shuffle using Windows, like it was a USB flash drive. When you do this, iTunes should not be running. Select FAT (or FAT32) as the disk format. If there is a choice to do a quick format, select to do a full format.
Then, run iTunes with only this one shuffle connected. iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore. If that happens, do the Restore, which re-erases the shuffle, put its software back on, and sets it to default settings. If you are not prompted, but the shuffle now appears in iTunes, select it and do a Restore from the shuffle's Summary screen.
If that does not help either, you should contact Apple to get it replaced. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genuis Bar and take it there. Depending on where you purchased it (and how long ago it was), you may also be able to just return it for refund, and buy another one.

How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.
