  • IPad will not sync with new ITunes

    Hey,
    I just updated ITunes to 10.5.2.11 and when I tried to sync with my Ipad - it said that it could not because I did not have "Apple Mobile Device Service" started.
    What the heck is that - I synced just fine before the update.
    Help.
    Thanks

    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

    My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

    Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
    For instance - if you want to sync music....
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

  • My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
    You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

    Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded?  If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized.  With iTunes open, click on Store at the top.  Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them.  Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    If iTunes does not see the iPod:

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

    My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I found my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
