IPad can't sync due to errors 1139 and 13011 - help!

Hi guys,
I've been having all sorts of iTunes issues lately, including the infamous "The information on this page is out of date" message when updating my apps. Following Apple's directions, I completely uninstalled iTunes (including the .kext's), and subsequently reinstalled it. Happily, the error I mentioned went away, and my iPhone 3GS is syncing happily.
Unfortunately, my iPad is suddenly choking iTunes when I try to sync it. I first get a box stating "The iPad "My iPad Name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1139)." When I hit the "OK" button, it acts as though it is syncing, but then I get a similar error with the code "13011". The error alert for error 13011 pops up repeatedly, although the iPad does appear to sync throughout.
I also notice two other oddities:
First, if I leave the iPad plugged in, it continually attempts to sync, coughs up the error code 13011, the iPad goes back to the home screen, and ~30 seconds later it attempts to sync again.
Second, every time it tries to sync, it's also claiming to be updating the same 7 apps, over and over. I don't see any obvious connection between the updates, other than that they're fairly recent updates (last ~2 days or so).
What's going on? My iPad has been freshly restored just a few days ago, and is working fine otherwise. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Huxley

I had the same problem (13011) until today, but with the iPhone. What I did was remove all music files from the iPhone, deactivate Genius, quit iTunes, delete the Genius database in the iTunes folder, empty the trash, restart iTunes, reactivate Genius, and sync. Looks like the error is gone.

  • HELP!  My iPad can't sync due to an unknown error.

    When I try to sync my iPad 2, I get an error alet saying "The iPad cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (1140)".
    I restored the iPad to its original settings.  It then tried to restore my apps, video, etc. from my back up.  Before completing this process, I got the same error alert again ( "The iPad cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (1140)").
    How do I get my iPad back to working again?

    Hi Fermendzin,
    Here is a recommendation for fixing this error from an earlier post:
    Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1598
    Be sure that neither iTunes nor iPhoto is running when you install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update. After installing the update, then restart iTunes and iPhoto. By default, "All photos" is selected. Change this (it's no longer grayed out) to "Selected albums..." and you should be OK.
    Hope this works!
    Cheers,

    There is no device limit for the number of iPods/iPhones/iPads that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.

  • How many ipads can i sync to one iMac?

    I am a teacher and our ESL team is considering getting 4-5 iPads for our students and we are wondering how many iPads can we sync to one iMac?  I thought it could be potentially much easlier to sync all 5 iPads to one iMac and use this one iMac and its iTunes as our sync station since I am planning on having our team all use pretty much all the same apps with our students...is this possible?

    Hi mstaum,
    Yes, they can all sync to the same iTunes library. The key is the AppleID that you will be using. Are you planning on using the same AppleID and iCloud account for all users? If so, then you will want to be sure to set up the Restrictions on each iPad to require a Password for purchases immediately, so you can prevent the students from purchasing other apps on the credit card you are using for the iTunes account....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Wty issue - Can't Posted due to error Action T043 Post version IV to FI

    Hence, request your advise how to resolve my problem...
    rgds,

    After a lot of searching I finally found the solution to my problem.  I had to enable IOMMU in the BIOS on my motherboard (Gigabyte 970A-D3). 
    In case it helps someone else, I found the solution in the following forum post:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2114055
    Another related post is:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2111223
    As an aside, I'm not really sure why when IOMMU is disabled, 32-bit kernels work, but 64-bit kernels don't.   I'm guessing IOMMU support is disabled in 32-bit kernels while it is enabled in 64-bit kernels.  Or, it is at least handled differently.

  • HELP! - An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time....

    I had to reinstall Windows 7. After that I reinstalled iTunes. I went to sync my iPad and it says "An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do". I really don't want to lose ANYTHING on my iPad. Please tell me how to sync the data on the iPad to iTunes so I don't lose anything.
    Thank you!

    One of the three choices is "cancel" - just click that.

  • We have two ipads and two different itunes accounts, can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?

    we have two ipads and two different itunes accounts. can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?

    Yes, you can use the apps from both accounts on the same iPad. You will both need to authorize each others iTunes account for use in each others computer account. You may authorize up to five Macs/PCs to use stuff from your account and that computer can then transfer the stuff to up to 10 iOS devices.
    Open iTunes in your account and have your wife sign into her iTunes account in the iTunes app. First authorize your computer account to use her iTunes stuff from the iTunes Store menu. Then have your wife download all of the iOS apps that you want to use into iTunes. Now you do the same in her computer account.
    Remember that only you can update apps acquired with your iTunes account and vice versa. So you will need to either sign into iTunes on the computer or directly on each others iPad to update any apps that need it. It is a little confusing at first, but you get the hang of it quickly.
