IPad Air won't sync after update

I was still on 7.1.2 on my iPad Air before I upgraded. I made my backup to sync all my apps and everything and then did an update using the restore option and when I choose to restore my back up it takes about 3 hours and after that none of my apps have synced and iTunes is still asking if I want to "set up as new" or "restore from backup" well I have restored from backup about three times without getting any of my apps back. Any one else have this issue or know how to help? Thanks

If you can, decline both options to restore the backup and set up as new, and just cancel out.  Then eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart iTunes and then try to sync again. You can't be any worse off than you already are, of none of your apps are syncing anyway. Maybe refreshing everything will allow the process to work.
IF you still have the backup that you created before you updated, your app data and settings should still be safe in that backup.

  • IPad 2 won't sync after update to 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.0.40

    Upgraded iPad2 to 5.1 and Windows iTunes to 10.6.0.40.  iTunes doesn't recognize the iPad as a device, but does recognize the camera.  Tried all iPad troubleshooting steps (restarting both, reinstalling iTunes, tried various USB ports).  Any ideas?

    Hi G-whiz,
    I solved the same problem (iTunes 10.6.0.40 upgrade on MacBook Pro). iOS  5.1 for iPhone and iPad, not recognised after update, even after rebooting each device in isolation and then all together. Still did not work.
    For me the issue was: The MacBook Pro was running BT with wireless kbd and touchpad connected; also I had a large flatscreen running from the mini display connector.
    Aiming to minimise any driver conflicts (even if external monitor and BT drivers are not third party), I followed these steps:
    1. disabled bluetooth
    2. disconnected external LCD
    3. rebooted MacBook Pro (wifi still enabled before restart to get to iTunes Store)
    4. connected iPad and iPhone to power (before upgrading to iOS 5.1 they had been set to wifi sync when on power)
    5. started iTunes
    Voila! Devices recognised automagically! And beginning sync instantaneously.

  • My iPhone5 and iPad Air won't sync by USB with iTunes 11.1.4(62)

    Since updating to iTunes 11.1.4(62) both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air do not sync. I am using an Apple USB cable plugged directly into my 27" late 2012 iMac. WIth the phone I get an -50 error message. With theiPad Air it gets up to syncing Apps, and then gets hung up. I have rebooted all of the devices and iTunes multiple times, and it still does not work. Any ideas? I see a lot of people are having syncing troubles with iTunes 11.1.4(62) on different devices too.

    Here is an article about the -50 error:

    It sounds like you have a firewall or virus protection software interfering with the process.

  • Ipad won't sync after updating to snow leopard

    Any help available regarding a non-syncing ipad first gen, after updating to snow leopard on my imac?  The ios software on ipad is up to date, and the snow leopard version is also up to date.  The computer will not even recognize that the ipad is connected.  Thx.

    Try something very simple first. Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad. Then try again.
    I had some issues when I first installed SL on my last MacBook, and I still have issues every now and then with the iPad not being recognized (now running Lion 10.7.3 on a new MacBook Pro) and this has always worked for me. You may have to reboot the Mac a couple of times - but try it and see if it works for you.

  • Ipad Air won't sync photos

    I have a Mac Pro tower running Mavericks (10.9.1).  Latest iTunes (11.1.3) and iPhoto (9.5.1).  New iPad air running 7.0.4
    When I plug my iPad into synch my photo library (around 6500 pictures and 37GB) - my entire computer freezes after about 5 photos are transferrred.  I have tried:
    rebuilding my photo library
    updating permissions
    deleting iPod cache
    power cycling
    unchecking include videos
    Changing sync from all photos to manual.  The problem persists with just one small album selected.  I get the spinning wheel that locks up my computer somewhere between the 5th and 10th image transferred even if the album only has 20 images total.
    I'm at a loss.  If I don't select any photos, the sync works fine.
    My old ipad 2 and iphone 5S work fine.
    thx for any ideas

    I had the same problem. But I was able to fix it with a little luck.
    If you have a backup of your iPad that is functional and has value, hold on to it.
    First, restore/wipe your iPad so it is empty execpt for the stock software.
    Begin to restore your iPad from the backup.
    As it is working, click on the "Manage My Own Music" selection on the iPad sync window. Will ask if you are sure, say yes.
    Un-check and Re-Check the top box in the music section of the sync pages.
    Click Sync at the bottom and let it work.

  • IPod Won't Sync After Updating to iTunes 10

    Whenever I click sync to add the music that I purchased in the online store, it says that it is syncing the ipod, but then stops and then loads on the ipod screen for it being okay to disconnect. I've reinstalled itunes 10, tried itunes 8 (wouldnt work because library was converted to itunes 10) and it still does this same exact thing where it won't sync my music from the library on my computer to the ipod.
    Help please.

    Since upgrading iTunes I've noticed that not all of my podcasts will sync - one or two are always left out. Syncing again will get the stragglers, but it used to work just fine.
    Another issue, possibly related, is I've seen an accumulation of 'Other' data on my iPod that I can't identify. I'm beginning to think it might be abandoned audio files from auto updating smart playlists that remove selections after they've been played. Doesn't happen with podcasts, though, because that smart playlist refuses to auto update on the iPod.

  • New iPad Air won't sync with iTunes on Windows 8

    Hello,
    I have an iPad Air that will not sync with iTunes. That same machine however syncs with my original iPad and iPad 2 with no issues.
    Only thing that happens when I connect the iPad Air to the PC is a tile/window pops up like it is looking for photos on the USB device?
    I have tried disabling, uninstalling/reinstalling, updating the driver, all with no success. I even factory reset the iPad Air and didn't change the outcome.
    I can tell you that the iPad Air is running the latest firmware, my iTunes is the latest version, and Windows 8.1 is up to date, as well as both other iDevices syncing error free.
    Any insight anyone could provide on what I could be missing would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Video won't sync after update to 4.3

    I have a 1st generation iPad, everything worked great on it prior to updating to iOS 4.3. Now, it will not sync any video - no TV, no Movies, not manually checked, not on Playlists. I have turned syncing movies/TV off, then synced, then turned movie/TV syncing on, and synced - no joy. I have reset the iPad, and done a full Restore - nothing. Video just won't sync.
    I've got a Mac running the latest 10.6 and iTunes 10.2.1
    Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

    I believe I have the same issue as you. It seems that some of my videos will sync; while others will not. I'm not sure what it is about some of the video files that allows some of them to work and the others not. I used HandBrake to convert the videos to AppleTV format and this worked for me up til this recent iTunes/iOS software update.
    I am on iTunes 10.2.1 and iOS 4.3 running on Mac OS X 10.6.6.

  • IPad Air won't sync music or apps - infinite loop

    I've tried for several days to sync my new iPad air to my music and apps with no success.  All over the USB cable.  I've pared it down to just one album and no apps with no better luck.  Right now it appears to be in an infinite loop where it starts to sync the music, goes to step 5, downloads some music, stops and then restarts the whole process again.  It wipes out the previous few songs loaded when it starts again so it never finishes.  I've tried unchecking all music to sync which wiped out the few songs on the ipad and then tried loading one album.  That worked once out of over 10 times to succusfully load one album.   Subsequent tries have not resulted in any better results, I haven't been able to add any more albums or playlist on top of that only one.  The first time it tries to load after I've wiped the ipad clean there are 4 steps.  On the subsequent tries when it goes into the infinite loop there are 5 steps to syncing the music.  It seems to stop loading at randon song counts and I've tried different albums and playlists.   Right now, I get the following errors.  Yesterday I think it was more of the first error but I can't say for sure.
    The iPad cannot be synced because it cannot be found.
    The iPad cannot be synced. An internal device error occured.
    This is a brand new 32GB model with plenty of free space (since I can't load any of my music).  I have been able to add apps through the app store with no issues.

  • Ipad air wont turn on after update today?

    ipad wont turn on after update today. cannot do a hard reset either...
    tried holding the power and home at the same time, still won't turn on suggestions?

    How long did you hold the power and home buttons?  You need to do that for about 30 seconds, sometimes even more before the apple logo appears.

  • IPod won't sync after update

    After updating iTunes files were corrupted.  I unintalled and reinstalled according to the instructions from Apple.  My iPod doesn't sync and I my library is gone.  It may be in iCloud but I can't get it to work.  Any suggestions?

    If the iTunes Library file becomes corrupted, iTunes creates a new one (that is empty) and starts using it.  That may be why your iTunes library is "gone."  However, your iTunes media files (such as your song files) are probably still on your computer's drive.  In Windows, do a search on the name of a song that was in your iTunes library.  If you can find that song's file, note its location.  All of your song files are probably along that same path.  If you were using standard settings in iTunes, they are in your user home folder's Music folder, under iTunes and then iTunes Media.  Something like this
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\
    If you can find your song files, you may be able to recover your iTunes library using the procedure described in this document
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    If that is not possible, you can still add your song files to a new iTunes library.  You will lose supporting data such as playlists, ratings, and play count.  After you have your songs in an iTunes library, you can sync your iPod to that library.  NOTE:  Songs on the iPod that are not in your new iTunes library will be lost.  You can reply back, if this is a problem or you have problems syncing your iPod to a new library. 
    Songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost.  If any purchased songs were lost, go to the iTunes Store.  Be sure to sign in using the Apple ID used for the purchase.  Then, go to the Purchased screen (there is a link to Purchased on the main iTunes Store screen along right side).  You can download (most) previous purchases there.
    If you subscribe to Apple's iTunes Match service, your entire iTunes music library is matched or uploaded in iCloud.  If this is the case, please reply back.
