  • 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 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.

  • IPod mini will not sync with iTunes 9

    Just set up itunes on new Acer. iTunes recognizes the iPod with details such as serial number, remaining space, etc but will not sync. Is there a problem between this version of iTunes and this older model iPod?

    Hello Rukiya,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried restoring the iPod via iTunes? This will erase all the content from the iPod and set it back to its default settings allowing you to start from scratch with it.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.

  • TS1538 Hi. My iPad 2 will not sync with iTunes, can't be recognised, and therefore can't be updated. I've reinstalled windows and still nothing. Any ideas?

    Hi. I've had an iPad 2 for over a year and have never been able to sync it with my pc. I've tried reinstalling windows twice, resetting the iPad back to factory etc. this means that I can't update because it doesn't have the latest iOS which allows you to update via wifi.
    Could anyone please offer me any suggestions as apple store staff aren't interested in helping.
    Thank you.

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

    Please help, I have tried many things but nothing fixes that fact that I cannot get my contacts to sync from my Mac across to my iPad mini.

    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.

  • 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.

    Hello, flippytippi.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need a little more information regarding what exactly you are experiencing when attempting to sync photos to better assist you.  However, here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through.

  • My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is off

    My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

    Thanks Rudegar,
    I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
    I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
    I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
    Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
    Thanks again

  • My iphone 3 will not sync with itunes - it says Apple mobile device is not started, also does it with ipad - any ideas?? thanksple mobile device is not starte

    my iphone 3 will not sync with itunes, it says Apple mobile device is not started, also doing it with ipad - can anyone help??? thanks

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.
