IPad Mini Syncing Issues

I have an iPad mini with retina display, yesterday I wanted to add some music to my iPad, I've had an iPod before so I think I am reasonably experienced with syncing using iTunes. After launching iTunes it recommended me to update to 11.1, I did so and then rebooted my laptop. Once I had logged back in again I launched iTunes. I plugged in my iPad expecting iTunes with a small bit of delay detect my device and then I would begin syncing. However after waiting a few minutes a window eventually popped up saying it was unable to connect to my device as it had "timed out". I am currently using a Home Share to listen to my music but it's a pain as I have to always have iTunes on.
Are there any tips out there that can resolve this issue???

Hey, try the steps below:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Open Finder, and go to wherever your iPhoto library is stored (usually ~/Pictures).
3. Right-click on the iPhoto Library and select “Show package contents”
4. Delete the “iPod Photo Cache” folder
5. Close the finder window
6. Open iPhoto. It might take some time for it to reload the library, but it’s ok.
7. When iPhoto finishes loading the library and you can browse your photos, close iPhoto
8. Open iTunes, goto your device’s Photo tab, and make shure the Sync photos options is UNCHECKED
9. Sync your device
10. After the sync finishes, CHECK the sync photo option. It will ask if the photos already in the device should be overwritten. I anserwered yes
11. Select which photos, events, albums or faces you want to sync,
12.- Sync your device again, and it should do it, including your photos

Ipad mini syncing issues with itunes : (x) items could not be synced

I'm using ipad mini (non retina) 16GB with itunes 11.2.2.3. I had downloaded some games from itunes like asphalt 8, GT racing 2, infinity blade, real racing 3, dead trigger 2, and apps like garageband. When i tried to sync these games with my ipad. everything happened normally like
syncing apps to 'superhornet's ipad' (step 6 of 6)
copying 1 of 8: asphalt 8
and later 'finished syncing'
but after syncing is finished on itunes. A message appears on the ipad saying '14 items could not be synced. see itunes for more information'
there is no message in the itunes that would tell what issue happened here.
Due to this, the games i mentioned above does not get installed on my ipad. all i get is their greyed out icons which shows their name below them, when i touch any of those greyed icons they start showing 'installing' which never really completes.
I have also tried to install apps by ifunbox, but it showed some error when i tried to sync those games.
This issue doesn't happen with all the games. I had also downloaded games like 'the sandbox, ACR drift, shadow gun and they were installed without any issues.
I had never played any game on my ipad. so far i had only used it as an ebook reader, video player and internet browser. so i have no idea if this problem existed before.
and yes my computer is authorized, and i successfully sync all videos, music, ebooks with it.
my PC's specs:
AMD phenom II X4 B25
4GB RAM DDR3 133MHz
AMD radeon HD6770 1GB GDDR5
Gigabyte GA78LMT-S2P
my ipad is running iOS 7.1
and itunes version is 11.2.2.3 (updated yesterday expecting it would solve the issues)
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this

Found another thread with a few possible solutions. The one that worked for me was to delete the ipod photo cache in the "Pictures" folder. Here's the thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3390697

HT4191 iPad Mini Sync issues?

Hi,
I have just got an iPad Mini (32gb) 6.0.2 & I would like to sync this with my iPhone 4s (16gb) 6.0.1. Having tried 'sync over Wi-Fi', etc nothing seems to work & all I have been able to sync is my photo stream. Please could somebody offer some help.
Many Thanks

Probably not computer related... (If I understand correctly that you are trying to sync an iPad with a computer).
Try resetting the iPad (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears).

Use iPod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 - issues

Hi all,
I've just used my Pod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 but none of the apps were installed on the iPad mini. Only the default apps are installed.
None of the photos from the camera roll were installed either, apart from a few 'screen shots' I have taken.
iPod Touch is iOS 6.1.6 and the iPad mini is 8.1
There was a warning advising that some of the apps in the iPod backup might not be compatible with the iPad.
If it makes a difference, I'm using one Apple ID for the App store and another one for iCloud. When I was prompted for the Apple ID during setup on the Mini, I entered the iCloud ID.
Interestingly, when I went into the App store on the Mini it showed the ID I use for that rather than the iCloud one, which seemed good.
Is this what I should expect to happen in this situation or am I doing something wrong ?
Many thanks. Mark

I've managed to get the apps loaded without having to do it manualy !! :-)
It was a case of RTFM - I forgot to do a 'Sync' after restoring the 4G's iTunes backup into the iPad.
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
For some unknown reason, the Camera Roll images and Videos still weren't restored to the new device.
This is not too much of an issue because I've exported them out of the 4G using the awesome 'Photo Sync' app. Despite it's name it actually does an 'export'and not a sync, which I think makes image management easier on the PC side

IPad mini video issues

I just bought my first Apple product.. Not a good experience so far.. I purchased an iPad Mini so that I can record some videos then upload them to my PC to do some video editing. At work we have an iPad Air and it works great every time! When I do the same process with my mini the video has really bad lag. It is so bad that it's not usable what so ever. (Only lags on the computer I have been using for editing for the past 2 months with no issues, not on the device itself).
The iPad has version 7.0.4 Any suggestions?
I have read all the other forums about these similar problems and all I ever here is do a hard reset, then do a restore.. so I did them both even though this is a brand new device, but nothing works. I even when into the Apple store and told them so they swapped it out for another one.. same problem..

Just to make it a little more clear in case it will help anyone help me a bit more:
At work we use an iPad Air to record, from there it automatically syncs everything on the camera roll to our dropbox account > I then download it from dropbox to my PC > Put the video into my editing software, Camtasia 8 and do my editing to the video with no problem.
In my situation with this new Mini I am following the exact same process and when I get the video to Camtasia 8 it is all laggy.. But yet the iPad Air videos are still fine.
I tried to just plug the Mini in to the PC with the USB cable and upload it that way without dropbox in the middle.. made no difference.
I was told that the camera is the same on both devices so there should be no issue.
Any other help would be greatly appreciated!

Ipad mini storage issues!!!

I use an ipad mini, it has 16gb of storage. I have not used even 1 gb of it yet, and yet it is telling me i have used 10gb and only have 2gb left???
I don't know why it is doing this. I don't download movies, i buy them, leave them in the icloud, then when i want to watch them i stream them from straight from my icloud, but everytime i do so my storage shrinks and won't reset or go back up. Please help!! The nearest Apple store is an 1.5 hour's train ride from here and that's gonna cost me nearly £40

I had a similar issue with a phantom movie taking up space. In my case, the solution was a "Restore."
Note that it could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.

IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

Since the latest iTunes update,
1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing. I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
"There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
Thanks for your help.

Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

IPad mini wifi issues

hey guys.
hopefully someone can help me out here. I have an iPad mini that I've had for a year now. Up until about 3 months ago everything was working fine, now for some reason my iPad intermittently disconnects from wifi while streaming.
a little about my situation. My only source of internet is via my cell phones mobile hotspot. (Droid bionic) The only time I have issues with the wifi connection is when I'm trying to steam video Via netflix, html5, dolphin browser etc. only video stream that doesn't seem affected is youtube.
now I've been searching online since this started happening and have come under the impression that this is a common issue hat no one seems to know how to fix. Is that true? I've done all the quick fixes ie: turn off wifi, turn off Bluetooth, reset hotspot settings etc. etc.
the only way I can get wifi to reconnect is if I manually go into settings turn off wifi and turn it back on. (On ipad)
ive ive gone as far as doing a hard reset on my phone thinking that was the problem. All to no avail. I also operTe my lapto off my phone so I know the connection there works just fine.
Does anyone know of a fix for this? It's kind of a pain but recently it has been happening more and more frequently and is starting to get rather obnoxious.
please let me know if you know how to take care of this. Thanks!

This is a widespread problem with the Mini but don't get misdirected into thinking that it's a router issue.
it isn't.
Apple don't appear to be taking ownership of this issue as it would open the floodgates and impact on:
1. The brand
2. The bottom line
so we are stuck looking at some spurious solutions, many of which are red herrings.
if Apple could supply a patch to fix this problem that would make sense but this is above my pay grade.
II'm sure you have, but google this again and you'll see the scale of user disenfranchisement over this problem!

Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES

So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Is Apple making a connector with the lightening on both ends for 5s and ipad mini syncing capabilities

I can not sync my 5S with IPad Mini because of adapter not having lightening connector on both ends. I can't afford a new computer to sync my phone. Getting replacement phone because camera stopped working but can't backup my phone. My Mac doesn't have intel.

Okay great..bought ipad mini for nothing..everybody said get an ipad you can use it to sync your phone blah blah blah..
Thank you for info

Why isn't my iPad mini syncing to itunes?

I'm having trouble syncing my ipad mini. when i press the sync button after selecting install on newly downloaded apps it just wont sync! it goes as far as 'determining apps to install' but then just stops, just like that without any warning or anything. why and how do i solve this problem?

What I always suggest is to quit iTunes, restart your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again. Start with that if you haven't tried it already.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPad mini backlight issues after digitizer replacement

I recently replaced the digitizer on my 1st gen iPad mini, and after reassembly, I'm havering issues with the backlight. Please have a look at my photo and let me know what the issue may be.
Thanks a lot,
Dave

I guess I should have mentioned before that this is my second time replacing it. The first time there was a faulty digitizer and the home button wouldn't work. But the touch screen DID work. Now its flipped, my second time around fixing it the home button works fine and the touchscreen is unresponsive. I thought it might have some damage from being dropped but the touch screen worked before. So I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or if its something i can fix. Thanks

Ipad Mini Connection Issues on 2.4Ghz

My Ipad Mini seemed to be working fine across all wifi networks for the first week or so, but recently I've found it either won't connect at all or stay connected for long on networks running 2.4Ghz routers.
I called Apple support and took it into the Apple store, but they weren't able to tell what was wrong because it connected to their wifi right away.
I'm convinced it has to be an issue specific to 2.4gHz networks.
I have no problems with wifi connectivity on my parent's 5g network, but if I attempt to switch to the 2.4ghz I get the same "Unable to connect error" that I recieve from all the other places I'm having problems. I've read conflicting reports about what is causing this issue, but I'm just about ready to give up on this thing and take it back.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

I have had the same problem with the mini ( no connectivity on 2.4 ghz, but OK on 5.0 ghz) and convinced the folks at the Apple store to replace it. The Apple store network in this area is only 5.0 ghz, and I had to use the adjoining 2.4 ghz department store network to convince them that the mini radio was at fault. We have five ipads in the family, and the mini is the only unit to display this problem. It appears to be a hardware fault, but all the advice on this forum relates to software resetting of various forms and that did not solve the problem for me. Try the Apple store again, as replacement may be the only answer.
