IPad Mini / iMessage not syncing

Morning,
Just noticed for the second time that my iPad Mini isn't updating iMessage, I had this problem last weekend.
It has all the threads in there from about 2 days ago, now last time this happened when i replied within them outdated threads on the iPad Mini it started a new message thread for the other person on there device. I had to wipe and start again on my iPad, I have also noticed the same issue with my other half's iPad 2.
anyone experience this before?

Are you attempting to sync music from your iTunes Music Library on your PC?
What options do you have set on the Music Tab for your iPad in iTunes?
What happens when you sync?
Any error messages?

Ipad Mini imessage not sending messages over wifi

I've my ipad mini for a couple of days now and I've consistently run into imessage problems.
I can surf the web, use apps that require Internet (ie. Facebook, Pinterest, mail, etc.) but it seems like imessage refuse to work.
My imessage is working and syncing just fine between my iPhone and MacBook Pro .
I've tried restarting my router, restoring my ipad mini to factory settings, soft and hard reset, and just about everything I can think of but nothing seems to be working. Maybe I have a defected ipad? Is anyone else having these issue?
I would really appreciate the help!!
Thanks!

Try the following.
Turn off Messages, sign out of your Apple ID on the iPad, restart your iPad, go back to Messages, turn it back on and then sign in again in Messages and in the store settings.
Settings>Messages>Off. Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart your iPad and then go back to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Sign in. Then go to Settings>Messages>On. Then sign in and see if it will activate.
Here's what Apple suggests when running into problems:
Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
If "Waiting for Activation" is displayed, leave FaceTime and iMessage enabled for 24 hours. Toggling FaceTime or iMessage off and on will cause the registration process to start over.

IPad Mini Retina not syncing with iTunes

My iPad Mini Retina has not been syncing with iTunes for some time.
I have reset it - by holding down the home and power key. I am using the new Macbook Air 2014 - because it has crashed on a few occasions it has also been restarted recently.
I am running IOS 7.1.2 on the Mini and 11.3 on the Mac Air. It has stopped at various parts but the last few times has been stopping at Step 4 of the sync. A few people seem to have had this issue but I have not found a resolution yet.

IPad mini will not sync with iTunes.

I just recently bough a new iPad mini, gen 3 (I think). I am trying to connect my new iPad to iTunes to upload some files onto it, however iTunes will not recognize my device. I have iTunes 11.1, windows 8.1, and my iPad is on ios 7.0.4.
I am not getting any error messages, but instead of giving me an option in itunes, my computer automatically opens up my ipad in a browser window instead. The "iPad" menu button never apears in itunes, and it will not sync with my ipad.
I have tried redowloading iTunes, as well as reseting my ipad.

IPad mini iMessage not showing contacts, just numbers

I Have recently got an iPad mini and restored from a phone back up and linked to iCloud.
I Can go into the contacts app and see all my contacts with names and numbers. So I send a message through iMessage to one of my contacts and in iMessage the list of people I have messaged only shows their numbers and not their names.
How do I get it to show names and not just numbers?

Turn off Messages, sign out of your Apple ID on the iPad, restart your iPad, go back to Messages, turn it back on and then sign in again in Messages and in the store settings.

I have 10.6.8, itunes 9 my ipad mini is not syncing.

Hi Folks,
Please help me as I have been trying this for hours. I have read the discussions but I still am having problems.HELP ME!!
I have MacBook Pro 10.6.8, itunes 9 and I am trying to hook my ipad mini to sync some videos.
I read that you need 9 in Itunes or late
Unfortunately, I can't even update itunes manually as it won't allow me, an error message pops and the check the updater system and it say that I don't have anything to update. It also states that I have to be connected to the internet, which I obviously am. I have some videos that I need to upload off my mini.
Is there ways to do this easily?
Thank you!
Love.
Kind Stranger

The only solution will be to upgrade to a newer version of iTunes. You need at least iTunes 10.7 to sync to your iPad mini; iTunes 9 will not work.
Either download iTunes from the iTunes tab above, if you wish to use iTunes 11, or download iTunes 10.7 from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
if you prefer the older version You don't have to trash your current iTunes; the new version will install right over the existing version, though of course it's always a good idea to have a good backup just in case something would go wrong.
If you encounter problems installing from the standalone installer, post details as to where it breaks down and we can probably help from there.
Regards.

IPhone/iPad Mini does not sync with iTunes 11.4.

Recently installed iTunes 11.4. But now, I am not able to sync my iPhone 5S and iPad Mini with it. Apple has to have a solution with this.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

My new ipad Mini will not sync with my contacts from my Mac?

I fixed my own problem - so excited... On the iPad go to settings then mail, contacts, calendars opened icloud and turned on icloud on for contacts. Re-synced iPad with Mac and *hey presto* all my contacts are there.

Please help. I have an iPad mini and an iPad Air. I have recently upgraded to an iPhone 5s. Since then my iPad mini will not sync with the other devises on my calendar. The calendar settings on all 3 devises look to be the same.

PRob

The devices do not sync with each other, never did. They sync to a server (iCloud, Google. Yahoo etc).
So which service do you use for your calendars
