IPad 2 and iPhone 4 won't sync

I need this fixed. iPad 2 and iPhone 4 used to sync without a problem to my Mac Pro. Now sync fails. iTunes 10.5.2 (11) Lion 10.7.2.
When connected it just spins saying "Waiting for Sync to start..." Then much later an error box pops up that says, "The iPad "OS2Guy's iPad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.
What's this all about? I've got to load this iPad up with work product for tomorrow.
I've tried rebooting system. Still the same.

Unplugged everything. Reset iPhone/iPad. Restarted Mac Pro. Plugged everything back in. iPad/iPhone did normal sync.
All is well. Have NO idea why I had the original problem. Thanks for being there!
As Rosanna would say ... "Nevermind!" LOL!

IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later for iTunes. Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
When I check for iTunes version 10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

I'm having the same problem.
iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
thanks

My ipad 2 and iphone 4S won't connect to app store via wifi but will connect via 3g

my ipad 2 and iphone 4S won't connect to app store via wifi but will connect via 3g - both are running 6.0.1 - I have tired several wifi networks but same result.

Hi LandJ1980,
I would recommend first trying these steps:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If that does not work, this article has some additional ideas to try, even though you are only seeing this with the App Store:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

HELP !! My ipad mini and iphone 5 just stopped syncing calendar with outlook 2007 calendar.

All apple devices are at current OS levels and no changes have been made except to calendar entries. I recently added a bunch of new appointments to outlook and then used my ipad to insert an appointment that was sent to me by email from american airlines. I have done a hard boot (held done the off button till dark) on both devices. I have checked my sync settings in itunes - set to sync all calendars. I have tried both iphone 5 and ipad mini using the automatic sync when device is attached and also by hitting the sync button in itunes. I do not use the icloud, but both devices backup to my windows 7 computer. Calendar is my most important app, as I use it to keep my day organized and to make it to appointments. Not being able to sync is a disaster. Need help, can't think of what else to try.

More - Information - Also tried the advanced setting to replace the ipad calendar with the outlook calendar - did not work and ran the Diagnostic test for sync and no errors found - says it works. Extremely frustrated.

Why iPad 2 and iPhone 4s won't Bluetooth connect to D200 Creative speaker?

My MacBook can connect fine using Lion, bit both iPad and iPhone running iOS 5.1.1 won't connect to the speaker device. I tried to reset and pair multiple times with no luck. Anyone else able to get this to work or possibly have the same problem?

I still have no WiFi nor do I have Bluetooth capabilities on my iPhone 4S. I Tried to do a system restore and it's exactly the same as before. Could Apple please expedite an update to solve this WiFi issue? Maybe go back to how you had the WiFi working in iOS7??? It's cutting into my limited data plan and I'd appreciate it if I could use the product I paid for and not feel like I'm being scammed out of it for lack of a better term.

HELP!!MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 won't sync via iCloud!

I've just purchased and set up my first Mac. I have a MacBook Pro, and use and iPhone 5. I've set up iCloud on both in the settings / system preferences to sync contacts, calenders, notes etc... but for the love of trying and following any support I can find online I just can not get any of it onto my MacBook!
nc
I've checked, rechecked and double checked the settings on both the iPhone and MacBook re. iCloud and they are set up correctly. I've tried backing up from the iPhone which is does (within 1 min) but still can't see any contacts on my MacBook. I've checked for and installed all software updates, and am now at the point of pulling my hair out!
Any sugestions or help will be massively appreciated!
Driving myself insane.

Is the contact and calendar data from your iPhone visible at http://www.icloud.com/ when you log in using the same AppleID used for iCloud on your phone?
Backing up to iCloud is not the same as syncing. For contacts and calendars to actually sync (not just backup) the relevant ON/OFF toggle switches need to be turned on in Settings > iCloud on your phone.
Are you logged into iCloud in the System Preferences pane on your MacBook using the same AppleID as you are logged into iCloud on your iPhone? The same ON/OFF settings also need to be turned on in there too.
What version of OS X is running on your MacBook?
Once you've check the basics (which I'm sure you already have) try these tips from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

Mac and iphone 4 won't sync calendar anymore. Why?

My mac calendar used to sync with my iPhone 4 calendar. Now I'm not even given the option on the summery section on itunes during syncing. Help! I need my calendars to sync! I've recently downloaded Maverick...could this have anything to do with it?

My iPhone has not been pushing the appointments I enter on it to the Calendar on my MacPro for some time. I changed my Apple ID recently and I'm suspicious that could have something to do with it. So, I went into my iPhone and made sure that my Apple ID in the iCloud setting had the current password.
Then I launched the actual calendar app on the iPhone and when the calendar app is on, the word Calendars is at the bottom on the screen. I tapped on that and selected/activated ONLY the "Calendar" which appears under ON MY IPHONE. With only that calendar selected I could see appointmetns I'd entered on the calendar in the iPHone. None have been pushed to my MacPro. So, I then took all of those and maually entered them onto the MacPro's iCal app making sure they were on one of the calendars listed under iCloud.
Once all of those were transferred, I went back to the iPhone, unchecked/deactivated the Calendar under ON MY iPHONE and activated all the calendars on the iPHone showing under ICLOUD.
Then, I went to Settings >Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scrolled all the way down to CALENDARS. There is a setting for Default Calendar and I picked one of the iCloud calendars as my default iPhone Calendar. From now on, any appointment I enter on the iPhone should be on that calendar unless I manually pick another calendar at the time.
I'm going to do my best to only make entries on one of the iCloud calendars as it appears those are the only calendars that synch.
I did a test, and entered a new appintment on my Mac's calendar and it was pushed immediately to the iphone. I then made a new appintment on the iphone and it did not pop up immediately on iCal in the Mac Pro. Instead of waiting to see how long it would take to get to the Mac's calendar, I just closed and re-opened iCal on the Mac. The new appintment (from the iPhone) was there as soon as I restarted iCal on the MacPro.
Looks like my problem is solved.

Numbers wont work After update on ipad 2 and iphone 5s with iCloud sync activated!

Am i the only one expiriencing that Problem ??????? ...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Open Numbers on your computer and move any documents in iCloud to your desktop for safe keeping.
    2.    Navigate to system preferences > iCloud > Manage and check that Numbers documents are not taking any space in the cloud, delete them if they are.
    3.    Enable iCloud syncing for Numbers on your mobile device and launch the App.
    4.    If Numbers now opens properly, start to add back documents from your desktop one at a time (or in small groups if you have many).

Just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s

I just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s.. I have tried EVERYTHING. I completely uninstalled & reinstalled my itunes 2 times. Everything is completely up to date, and when I plug my iPhone into the computer, it makes the normal beep sound, and charges, but will not sync or show on iTunes so that I can sync anything..

Hey ksooter,
I know you have said you have tried everything but have you tried out some of the troubleshooting in the article below? For instance, have you checked the Apple Mobile Device support is installed properly and if the Apple Mobile Device is installed? Take a look at the article below to double check some of the things you have done to see if you can get your iPhone to show back up.

TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc

My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed. In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working. I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

I have various devices with different capacities, but my iphone 5 won't sync as it says i'm overcapacity? it there any way to store onto the icloud and not the device?

I have an ipad and iphone 3gs 32gb, an iphone 5 and nano 16gb and also purchased 15gb on icloud. My iphone 5 won't sync as it says it is over capacity. Is there any way to store on icloud and not my device? Is having the various capacities on each device is pointless?

Just select less to sync with the iphone 5.
Each device will only sync what you select.

I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -
http://www.citrix.com/products/receiver/resources-and-support.html
The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

Do you know what server you're connecting to?

I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
