IPad not recognized or syncing with iTunes

Folks, after the major updates to both iTunes and iPad, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPad.
After reinstalling iTunes it gets recognized and syncs, BUT if I shut iTunes or the computer down it will not get recognized again.
Any thoughts?
Thanx:)

I'm having a similar problem, however, after reinstalling iTunes, I still don't get a sync. I wonder if this could possibly be a software issue with the new iTunes update? Maybe a misconfiguration for the iPad? Although my iPod Touch is not being recognized either....let me know if you find a solution!

IPad Not able to sync with iTunes on my Mac

I just bought a new Ipad Yesterday. When I plugged it into my computer to sync with my iTunes- It said i couldnt run it beacuse I needed 10.7 or higher. But my iTunes says its running current version, and are no updates..?? Help..

In iTunes pull down the iTuness menu and select About iTunes. Post back here what the version number is. Also tell us what version of OS X your computer is running. An iPad requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.8.

My iPad and iPhone will not charge or sync with itunes.

My ipod touch does not want to sync with itunes

My ipod touch ( 4 th IOS 5 firmware 5.0.1 8gb ) does not want to sync with itunes on my computer while on another computer be synchronized
HELP please !

What?
What do yo mean it does not want to sync?
Are you trying to say it does sync with one computer but not with another????? If so, this is by design. All iDevices are designed to sync with one and only one computer.

New iPad Air won't sync with iTunes on Windows 8

Hello,
I have an iPad Air that will not sync with iTunes. That same machine however syncs with my original iPad and iPad 2 with no issues.
Only thing that happens when I connect the iPad Air to the PC is a tile/window pops up like it is looking for photos on the USB device?
I have tried disabling, uninstalling/reinstalling, updating the driver, all with no success. I even factory reset the iPad Air and didn't change the outcome.
I can tell you that the iPad Air is running the latest firmware, my iTunes is the latest version, and Windows 8.1 is up to date, as well as both other iDevices syncing error free.
Any insight anyone could provide on what I could be missing would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello jennebb,
The following article can help get iTunes and your new iPad Air working together.

Neither my ipad nor iphone will sync with itunes on my pc. it says i need a newer version of itunes but when i download the latest version i get the same message.

I can't get my iPhone 4s or my iPad 2 to sync with itunes on my pc. My very ancient ipod nano works fine. I get told that the version of itunes is too old. I have tried on 3 occasions to download the update, and while it doesn't say there has been a problem with the download I continue to get the same message. I do get a warning that itunes is not properly installed and that i won't be able to burn cds. I have tried uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but that doesn't work either.
does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Have you run windows update? That could prevent iTunes from properly installing. Also, try with your antiVirus and firewall disabled. What version of Windows are you running?
OS X is the operating system on the Mac.

Question about ICloud. Do I have to back-up my iPad and iPhone4 b4 sync with iTunes?

Question about ICloud. Do I have to back-up my iPad and iPhone4 to iCloud b4 sync with iTunes? Last time I synced iphone4 with iTunes, I updated to 5.0.1 when I connected, but it wiped my calendar entries. I had to reset to the last date I had synced (4months ago). So my question is... Now that I have iCloud, should I back up both my iPhone and my iPad before I sync with iTunes? And will all the data from iPad, iPhone, and computer all merge when the iPad and iPhone are synced?

It does not matter.

HT203180 Videos can only be imported to iPad but failed to sync with itunes.

This article does not solve my issue.
My problem is: I can import and view the videos by importing them directly from my camera (Canon 5D Mark II). However, it fails to sync when I import them into iPhoto first.
Import from camera:
I have imported videos from my Canon 5D Mark II directly to the iPad using the camera connection kits. It works perfectly. I can view them in Photos and iPhoto (iPad). I can edit them in iMovie and Avid Studio. It works just like those video I took with my iPhone 4S which were synced to my iPad using iTunes.
Sync with iTunes:
However, it fails if I use the iTunes and iPhotos (Mac) to do my job. I imported the photos and videos to iPhoto (Mac) and then put them in an album which is to be synced to iPad. Then, I connected my iPad, started my iTunes and checked that album under the photo tab. After that, I pressed "Sync". When sync was finished, it reported to me that those files, which could be imported, played and edited, could not be played on iPad.
It is clearly a software bug in iTunes. Please fix that.

By the way, I have seen many replies in this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2398865?start=15&tstart=0) that describe the same problem. (Please note that I am talking about the replies, not the captioned question in the thread).
APPLE, please fix this bug.

Since I upgraded to os 7 my voice memos are not recording and syncing with Itunes.

In the app the recordings show 0 time and when I sync with Itunes there is no recording listed at all. Any thoughts?

I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
Here ya go:
1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
7) Sync your iPhone and you are good to go.
NOTE: If for some reason this doesn't work, go back into the same "naming" list on your Iphone voice memos app, and try one of the standard labels instead of a custom one. With one that wouldn't sync, I changed it to "Memo" and then synced it again, and then it worked.

Iphone 3g not able to Sync with Itunes

Hello,
I have iphone 3g with OS 2.2.1 and itunes 8.1
I m not able to sync with i tunes.
Whenever i connect phone, Itunes get hung .
Sometimes it displays foll message:
Itunes was unbale to connect iphone because it recieved an invalid response.
If i restart and connect it gives
Unable to Load Dataclas information for the iphone.Try reconnecting.
I did every thing
De-install,Re-install each and every thing based on suggestions at various places,still no use.
Even tried Syncing with Other OS XP , same problem-> Itunes gets hanged.
Im absolutely clueless about whats happened.
Somehow i was able to update the OS to 2.2.1 .
Dont know where the problem is....
Can any problem with Hardware lead to Such error..If yes..What are the probable hardware reasone...
Software wise i dont think anything is left unchecked,still any suggestions, help welcome..
Im really in need to sort this out as cant sync anything..the phone is blank wiht complete HDD free....No use.....
Please Please Please Help..!!!!!!!!!

As I read you updated your iPhone to 2.2.1. That means that maybe this cause the problem.
Sometimes when I connect my iPhone to iTunes I saw the message what says that "iTunes was unable to connect to the iPhone... " but if I reconnect my iPhone then iTunes recognize my phone and everything is OK.
If the reconnecting does not help you then I advise that reset your iPhone with 'Erase All Data and Settings'. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Data and Settings.
If you reset your iPhone with 'Erase All Data and Settings' then your iPhone will delete your files and also the 2.2.1 software update and after that it will run with the original software what you bought with it.
The reset takes approximately 2 hours. And this is delete everything from your iPhone.
So, as it seems you can't back up your iPhone, that means everything what is on your iPhone will be deleted except if you don't have them on your computer.
After you reseted your iPhone, try to connect with iTunes. If it won't works then try it on an another Mac or PC and if you can't sync your iPhone at all, you have to take your iPhone to your carrier for a service.
Important note: After you reseted your iPhone, it will please that connect to iTunes to activate the phone. If you can't connect to iTunes your phone, you won't be able to use it!
As you know, without activating you can't use the iPhone.
If you can do the activation then you probably will be able to sync it.
If you can't be without mobile phone and just the iPhone what you've then don't do that until you maybe could miss your phone (I mean if you iPhone have to be serviced).

Ipod touch 2g bluetooth will not connect after syncing with iTunes

Had my ipod touch 2nd gen working with Bluetooth pairing to my Jambox and Boss DVD player and previously had worked with my AudioEngine Bluetooth device. Had a problem with musc files giving me an 1309 error message, was able to just select music manually without sync until this problem came up.
Had to initiate the auto Sync with iTunes which removed the error message for Music and since then my Bluetooth pairing has stopped. Have ver 4.21 and the Bluetooth shows the bluetooth mac address.
The Love is gone for this device. It will not pair up with devices that were working under bluetooth last week.
Anyone have any ideas?

- On the iPod try resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to repair Bt defive s and rejoin wifi networks
- Reset the BT devices and repair. You have to see the BT device manual for how to reset them.

HT1386 After installing iOS 6 on my New iPad and trying to sync with iTunes on my iMac I get the message "Unable to sync; unknown error (1140)". Restarting iMac and iPad did not help! What to do?

I installed iOs 6 on my New iPad. After that every time I try to synchronize the New iPad with my iMac I get the message: "This iPad can not be synchronized; an unknown error (1140)".
What do I have to do to get the iPad sychronized?

All my iTunes content is on the new Mini, but my iPad is trying (unsuccessfully) to sync to the iMac.
How do you know? Nothing identifies which computer it is syncing with...
Is the iMac still on the network?
Have you connected the iPad to the Mac mini via USB and sync'd it?
