Im trying to sync my ipad to my desktop

I want to update my ipad air to ios8 but I need to free up space and just want to make sure I don't delete something I need -- I need to sync all my data to iTunes or icloud but cant figure out how to do it. I looked up instructions but the things Im supposed to click on aren't on my site

To show the sidebar in iTunes, go to View>Show Sidebar. If you can't see the menu bar that includes "view", you may need to reveal it as discussed here: iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

I'm getting an error message 'Apple Mobile Device service is not started' when trying to sync my ipad to my desktop computer

I'm getting an error message 'Apple Mobile Device service is not started' when trying to sync my ipad to my desktop computer. This usually works fine, so I don't know what I did to keep it form working.

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.

Hi Centreless,
If you have difficulty with your iPad not being able to connect to iTunes in order to sync, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps in this article -

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........

I have tried to sync my iPad to iTunes but got an error message saying that i\tunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Any advice would be gratefully received.

I am trying to sync my iPad with my iTunes to up date my iTunes on my other computer and my $amt it said I need 10.6and I have tried to download won't let me

I Am trying to sync my iPad to my other computer and it says I need 10.6 I can't find to download

I am guessing "10.6" refers to an OS X version of a Mac Operating System. I am guessing you have a very old Mac that has not been updated in years, because OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) was released more than two years ago.
So, what type of Mac do you have? What vintage (when was it made)?
You would need at least OS X 10.6.8 to run a current enough version of iTunes that can communicate with iOS 6.

I'm trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library - but I get an error message saying I Tunes Library full. What can I do?

I have an Ipad 2. I am trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library, but I get an error message - saying the itunes library is full. How can that be? I've deleted lots from the library to see if that would help - but it still states I am about 25gb short. Can anyone help what to do?

Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

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.
