IOS8 will not sync my iPad

Since installing iOS8, I now find that when I try to sync with iTunes on my iMac, it seems to get stuck on stage 7 wight the caption "Waiting for changes to be applied" and that's it.
IMac with OS10, iPad 4 with WiFi and 3gs iOS8

Hey there foggymind,
It sounds like you updated to iOS 8 and now the final step of the sync process does not seem to finish. I would recommend the following troubleshooting from this article, named:
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
If you're having issues using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes, the USB communication to your device might not be working properly. You might see one or more of these symptoms when you try to use your device with iTunes:
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    My Aperture 3.1.1 will not sync photos using I tunes into my new Ipad 2..it was working until I changed some images in a smart folder and how I tunes thinks there are no images in the smart folder (which there are)...it looks to be an Itunes issue not a sync issue per se with the Ipad2...

  • On iCloud, the calendar will sync from computer and iPhone to everything, but will not sync FROM iPad

    When I enter data on my computer or iPhone, the calendars all sync nicely; however, if I enter an event on my iPad, it will not sync, eventhough it syncs the information from the other devices.  Any advice?

    Once you set your Exchange Calendar as the default here:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to Default Calendar > Select your Exchange calendar
    All new events should be created in your Exchange calendar unless manually changed.

  • My iphone calendar suddenly will not sync but iPad calendar did sync

    I got an error msg saying try again (did but no luck) then msg said to replace calendar using info tab in iphone preferences...did and now calendar is wiped clean. Tried turning off computer and iphone then back on and resyncing but still calendar in iphone will not sync. Contacts etc seem ok. Rechecked my settings and tried a sync with "all calendars" no luck...then tried again with Entourage calendar only which is my primary calendar and no luck. This is a sudden change as I have been syncing ok for 2 years. Any ideas? 

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
    Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Click the device button, then click Info.
    Select the items you want to sync.
    Click Apply.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Photostream will not sync with ipad

    My new ipad will not sync with any of my current photos, any pictures that i already have or have taken with my iphone will not download, but they will download to my pc but will not download to ipad. Also any photos taken with the ipad will not upload on photostream. Everything is connected with the same profile, and are all on wifi. Tried turning off photostream and turning back on but no results and turning the ipad on and off, did nothing too.
    Need Help.

    I had the same problem, but after looking in other discussions concluded that when the level of the iPad-battery is less then 20% fotostream does not work!!!

  • HT1386 selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to iPad

    selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to ipad

    Might there be an ownership issue --- such as:
    Might the tunes that do not sync to the iPad have been purchased using a different Apple ID and password than are either used on the iPad or authorized on the computer's iTunes?
    Remember, purchased music is protected.  It cannot be indiscriminately shared.

  • HT203180 videos purchased on computer will not sync to ipad

    videos purchased on computer will not sync to ipad

    Hello j1s,
    In order for the Transfer Purchases to work, you need to be logged into the same iTunes ID on the computer that the purchased content on the iPhone was purchased under:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    On the iPhone, when you purchase a song from the iTunes Store, what iTunes ID are you using?
    If it is the same as the one on the computer, try the following:
    Download the Free Single of the Week from the iTunes Store.
    Play the song in iTunes on the computer.
    Try the "Transfer purchases" option in the Store Menu again.

  • ITunes 11 will not sync my iPad 2: inflated "other"

    Something odd has happened.
    All of a sudden when I try to sync my iPad to iTunes on my Mac, iTunes thinks there is 21.82GB of "other" and 36.31Gb "free" on the iPad. This is totally wrong. See screen shot attached:
    When I try to sync (as that might correct it) it briefly shows the "apps" being present and 26.6GB free but then reverts to only the "other" of 21.82Gb free. See screenshot taken during syncing below:
    If I try to add photos to the iPad, iTunes loses connection during sync:
    Yet, during all this time the iPad itself shows that it has apps, music, photos, movies and books with space left over.
    In use the iPad is just fine, it's just that it wont sync to my Mac iTunes any more. Im pretty sure this is an iTunes issue not an iPad issue as it can sync just fine on my other computer's (PC) iTunes which reports "other" as only being 3.72Gb.
    How can I fix this problem *without* a full restore of iPad which will force an upgrade to IOS 6.1.3 which will not support my Corporate applications?
    All help appreciated.

    I have now reset and restored my iPad but this did not resolve the problem.
    I next erased all content and reset and restored my iPad and this did not solve the problem
    I next synced it with another computer which did sync successfully, but of course my media was not present as this was erased by the sync.
    I next attached the iPad back to my original computer, but this still reported the iPad as having a large other and was unable to sync.
    I next reset, restored and upgraded the iPad to iOS 6.1.3
    Once complete, iTunes still reported the iPad incorrectly and could not sync.
    Finally I downloaded the full installer from apple.com/itunes and re-installed iTunes 11.0.2  from the full installer (rather than the softwrae update installed version that I had).
    This appears to have resolved the sync issue and my iPad is currently syncing media.
    Lesson learnt: re-install iTunes first before trying anything on the iPad if the iPad itself seems OK.

  • Video in itunes video folder but will not sync to iPad

    So I have a few vidoes in iTunes on my computer, I plug my iPad in, it syncs but only puts files from my iPad to the computer.  It will not go the other way.  It does not look like it put music i bought in itunes on my computer either.  Anyone know why?   So it is missing stuff both ways... I am logged in and all that.  Have not synced to anything else except backing up to iCloud. 

    In order to move purchased content from the iPad into iTunes, connect the iPad to the PC, launch iTunes and right click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and select Transfer Purchases.
    In order to sync the Videos to the iPad you have to select them to sync to the iPad in iTunes. While connected to the PC and with iTunes running, select the iPad on the left side, click on the Movies Tab in the window on the right, click on the Sync Movies Heading, select each video that you want to transfer and then click on Apply in the lower right corner.

  • My photos will not sync to ipad

    Why is my photos not syncing with my ipad

    Ok so I had attitude - This being new to iPad/iCloud etc is very frustrating and I hate not knowing. The problem with ignorance is that you don't know what you don't know, so providing info can be a challenge. Being made to feel dumb doesn't help. I'm an older lady who doesn't understand the ins and outs of all this technology.
    I have a brand new iPad, and a Macbook Pro which is rather elderly, with  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 operating system. (I have bought Snow Leopard but haven't installed it on laptop after loads of issues with the installation on my iMac)
    I gather that to sync all of my iTunes/iPhoto etc., I would need to have the most recent operating system available. (I have no idea what that is) My iPhone & Ipad are ok with my address book, mail, etc., but not the iTunes/iPhoto. As I need the iPad as a portable gallery of my paintings it's quite important to me that I get iPhoto. I discovered that I could email images to myself then save them onto the iPad, but clearly that's not a practical solution. I gather also that photos I take with my iPad and iPhone sync automatically, but it's other images I want on there. When I connect the iPad to my laptop, I can't just drag the files into it (like an iPod) so what to do?
