IPad/iTunes Problem

I'm running Lion on an iMac and have an iPad2. My wife also has an iPad but hers is the older generation. In iTunes we both have the 'Open iTunes when iPad is connnected' box checked and also the 'Sync with iPad over Wi-Fi' box checked. When connecting the iPads to the iMac to sync, iTunes usually doesn't open. If either of us opens iTunes, the iPad is detected immediately. Very rarely iTunes will open when connecting an iPad. I've tried deselecting the 'Sync with iPad over Wi-Fi' option and it doesn't make a difference. Wondering if anyone has a solution?
Thanks much.

Since itunes does open ocaisonally for you when you connect the iPad, I don't know if this will work. Go to your user account in the system preferences on the Mac and enable iTunes helper in the Log In items. Put a checkmark next to it.
I'm not sure if this even log in item should be available in Lion - even though it shows in my Lion preferences. I set up my brand new MacBook from a time machine backup and this was already set up in my log in items - but it shows as an unknown application. I'm running the latest version of everything on my Mac and I'm not sure why it shows up as an unknown application. But try setting that preference up in the Log In items and see if that lets iTunes open when you connect the iPads.

IPad/iTunes Problems

I have an iPad 3 and have had no problems thus far. However, now I have apps that are stalled at "waiting" and when I try to sync with iTunes, I get a message that says 25 apps could not be synced because "the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined". I've had Apple devices going all the way back to the iPod with the wheel (including iTouch, iPhone 3, iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPad 1st Generation, and iPad 3rd Generation), so have experience with both the Apple devices and iTunes. This one, though, is new to me and I can't figure out what to do about it. I've updated all apps in iTunes, yet it cannot sync to the iPad.
I appreciate any suggestions because I now have apps that I cannot use because they are "waiting".
(While writing this post, I realized that I still had yet to update to 7.1.2, so thought I'd do that before posting this question... however, now it seems stalled during the installation of the update. There is the Apple logo, and the bar below has about 10% lit up, and hasn't moved for at least ten minutes. So, I'm posting this anyway.... thanks for any help)
Thanks very much,
Brenda

I suspect you may not have enough available storage space to install the updates or the iOS update.
How much space do you have? Go to Settings>General>About>Available
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
If storage space is the problem, you need to delete some apps, photos, videos, etc.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

IPad & iTunes problem, help plz?

when I connect my iPad 2 to itunes, there are no screens showing in the apps section

I suspect you may be using an old version of iTunes. Check to be sure you are running the most recent version. Update if necessary and try again.

ITunes, AMDS and iPad make problems

Hi everybody
I got some serious problem with iTunes, iPad, AMDS and Windows 7 64 bit. I first noticed it when I wanted to watch video. Due to a "cancelling sync..." message I was unable to watch video (and listen to music). Searching the web brought me the solution that all I should do was to force a re-sync of the iPad (i.e. delete a file).
But, then all the problems started. My iTunes does not "recognize" the iPad due to the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started. If I tries to start the service with the iPad connected a windows error message 1067 appears and I start the service without the iPad connected the service starts, but terminates instantly when the iPad is connected. The "canceling sync... " message is fixed, I connected the iPad to another PC, but I'm still not able to get the iPad and iTunes to work together on my own PC.
I followed this guide (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923) but, it did not fix my problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about five times, inclusive all apple programs such as QuickTime, Bonjour, etc. I even took a "screen dump" on the iPad as some suggests, tried a clean boot and reinstalled iTunes once more. I tried updating the USB driver as Apple suggests, but yet nothing seem help. I'm running out of ideas, and I'm not much up for re-installing windows.
Anyone who knows how to get my iPad/iTunes to work on my Windows 7 64 bit platform, without reinstalling W?
Regards Jakob

You shouldn't be stumped. None if those other posts apply to you. You can take both your iPad and Airport Extreme into the Apple store and get at least one of then fixed.

I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)" and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad. This just started today. I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help. Any ideas???
I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it... should I?

You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link. Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

Cuando estoy sincronizando mi ipad itunes deja de funcionar

cuando estoy sincronizando mi ipad itunes deja de funcionar

Hola Carloscore, yo tuve el mismo problema y lo pude solucionar. Pero una pregunta: ¿cuando abrías la ventana de "Obtener información" se veían todos los campos vaciós (sin letras) antes de que se cierre? Si es así, el problema es tu sistema operativo, más específicamente las fuentes (tipos de letra) que maneja windows. Suele pasar que el registro se modifica por algún programa y daña las fuentes que utiliza, y tiene repercuciones con otros programa.
LA SOLUCIÓN:
Busca estas fuentes (Archivo de fuente TrueType):
Tahoma, Courier New, Verdana, Arial, Arial Narrow, Arial Bold, Lucida Console, Trebuched MS, Times New Roman, Marlett.
Después, con el iTunes cerrado (sin abrir) cópialas y pégalas en C:/WINDOWS/Fonts
Para cuando abras el iTunes otra vez ya debes poder obtener información de las canciones y organizar sin ningún problema.
Nota: iTunes necesita alguna de esas fuentes para funcionar correctamente, de lo contrario seguirá dando error.
Esta fue la solución a mi caso, espero que que haya sido de ayuda .

Is there an iTunes problem?

Is there an iTunes problem? I cannot connect to the iTunes Store. Suddenly this started. All my computers and connections are working in my home.

My problem is only on my iPad and it has always worked perfectly. Just today began to get the message that cannot connect to the iTunes Store.

After iTunes 9.2 installation, when I connect iPad, iTunes opens a page (under my iPad link) with a note *Looking for something on MobileMe? We can't find the page you requested* ...
That was not the case with iTunes 9.1.
I am not a mobileme subscriber. I think I register for try out period long time ago, but I am not a subscriber.
Now I cannot even log in to this account, even though I can change the password!?
It is quite frustrating not be able to sync to my Mac.
I deal with this problem for several days on many ways, but there seems no progress.
Thanks!
Tadej

I just solved the same problem, syncing iPad with iTunes 9.2 and not-wanted mobileme login. It took me half an hour on the Apple phone support.
Safari > Reset Safari ... and Safari > Empty Cache ... did the thing ...
Strange, but it works!

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

Purchased 2 audiobooks on my iPhone 4S, would like to download onto iPad aswell but they aren't showing up in my iPads iTunes (I have not downloaded onto phone yet)

I have just bought 2 audiobooks on my iphone and want to download onto both iphone and iPad, but it isn't showing up in my iPad iTunes as 'downloading' as it does in my iphone. I have to connect to wifi to download it so it isn't downloading yet. Help?

You get one and only one download.
You would would have to transfer your audiobook from the iphone to the computer, then sync it to your ipad
