IPad (iOS 4.3) not syncing. No recommended fixes work

iPad (iOS 4.3) not syncing. No recommended fixes work. Cant install new ios version. Cant use wifi or icloud to sync. I think the only way forward is to buy a new iPad - but don't want to lose all the books purchased, as well as the apps, on this one - any suggestions on how to save these/transfer to new device?

If you can't use iCloud or you can't sync with iTunes, you can't backup the device or transfer the content to anywhere.
You can download much of your purchased content again for free - and recover your apps, books, music and so on that way.
Download previous purchases - Support - Apple
Did you try restoring using recovery mode as on of the "recommended fixes"?
iPad: Unable to update or restore

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

Perhaps this web page will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

HT1414 My iPhone4 (iOS 6) does not sync with iTunes. The message displayed suggests to return the iPhone to factory settings (which I cannot do). This happened after the iPhone was upgraded to iOS6 and performed one sync. Any ideas?

Why not?

Your question doesn't make sense. Facebook has nothing to do with syncing an iDevice. Explain your problem if you want an answer.

My iPad and iPhone do not sync up my appointment calendar

my iPad and iPhone do not sync up my appointment calendar

Go to Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars and scroll down to Calendar. For both iPhone and iPad, make sure that the default calendar is NOT "Calendar" but is the same one of those listed under iCloud, preferably "Home". (and of course follow the other advice on functions that are "on".

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing my notes, contacts and calendars

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing notes, calendars or contacts.

Hello
Notes, Contacts and Calendar event can come from other sources too.
> Email accounts Like Gmail, Outlook ....
> Social Media, like FaceBook Twitter ...
> Apps you might be using.
Are each of your devices signed in with each account, that could be used to sync them?
Best of Luck

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm having the same issue.

For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

IOS 8 numbers not syncing with icloud

I have noticed today that documents I edit on my iPad Air (latest iOS 8) in Numbers are not syncing to iCloud.
The up-arrow in the right hand corner of the document icon doesn't go away.
Syncing isn't working the other way either - changes I make on the Mac are not synced with the iPad.
This was all working fine last week and I haven't made any changes which might explain the problem.
I am running OS X Mavericks and editing iCloud documents through the iCloud.com website.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks
Rick

I found some advice online which fixed this for me.
in the iPad General settings, I performed a Reset Network Settings and then in Handoff & Suggested Apps, I turned off Handoff.
Perhaps this won't be a problem when Yosemite is released?
Try the above anyway!

IWork iOS Documents will not sync.

If I create a Pages, Numbers, Keynote doc on my iPhone 4S it will not be synced to my iCloud account.
Documents that are already on my iCloud (created and synced from my iPad) will not sync back down to my iPhone.
Photostream, however, does work.
iCloud backup also works.
It's just the iWork documents that will not propagate to and from the iPhone.
Everything is updated.
All settings are turned on.
Everything thing is on the same iCloud account.
I have toggled everything on and off and reset.
I have erased iWork apps and reinstalled.
I have singed out of the iCloud account on everything and signed back in.
I have completely erased the phone and reinstalled everything from scratch.
And, I have spent two hours talking to four different "Geniuses" at the Smithhaven, NY Apple Store on 2/16/12.
They were friendly and dedicated but could offer no help and sent me home with with a shrug of their shoulders.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, I suppose I should have posted here some time ago instead of just lurking waiting for the answer to show up so that I could follow the same procedure. Then again, maybe I am doing that since the proper procedure was to publicly state that I have the problem so that Apple can fix it for me.
I'd still like to know the origin of the problem. I believe mine began when I lost cell phone coverage as I worked on a document. I'm an ecologist working in Ecuador, and was in the field without reception for several days after that; when I returned to modern communications technology none of my new files would upload to iCloud nor have any new files created on my Mac downloaded to my iPad 2 since then. When the problem began I was using iOS 5, but have since upgraded to iOS 6 and still have the same issue. (I also foolishly did a backup and restore without reading the fine print about it not backing up iWork documents. I lost a good bit of work and data there…)
HELP! Thank you.

A third party app had crashed my iPad iOS and will not reset. It gives a pop up window and seems very fishy.

I have a pop up window that says:
http://ios-support.net
The page at I-Pad support says:
Warning IOS - crash Report
Due to a third party application in your iPad, IOS crashed.
Contact Support for an Immediate Fix
i incantation reset anything, it seems extremely fishy and I'm locked up and ant do anything. Has anyone had this happen?

Do not call the number.
Double tap the Home button, then swipe upwards on the Safari preview.
Go to Settings - Safari - Clear History.
Restart Safari.

Ipad ical calendar does not sync to macboook - just one (main) calendar ical

One of my ical calendaars was delted from my Macbook. It is on my ipad but will not sync to my macbook. Other calendars will sync.
I believe that I deleted a critical files from my Macbook. Note that I have recovered the calender events themselves from time machine. However I have not imported them into my macbook ical since 1) then I will have double on my ipad and 2) i have to individuall import more than 4000+ events and each import is about 5 clicks.
I have doen allt he sync resetting so that everything else except this one calendar will sync. It makes me thik that somehow there is no place on my Macbook to receive the calendar from the ipad.????
Thank you so much for your help.

SOLVED it!!!
I bought a program called iExplorer for €35.
It allows you to see what is on my external device - ipad in this case - and then to export it.
I exported the missing calendar. When I reopened ical it was there - all 4000 entires. There were a few mess ups in the all day events but 15 minutes of cleaning took care of that.
