Ipad not synching itunes

Suddently my iPad 3 will not synch with iTunes music . . I had been able to synch songs and playlists with no problem, now suddenly, the iPad will not update the changes.... I deselect songs, or add new ones, tell it to synch, but the changes are not showing up.... Help please.

Hello Neil
Change a setting for how it syncs, like enabling Manually manage music and videos. Then drag and drop the music that you want on your iPad.

New apps purchased on ipad not synching with iphone 4S. This a new problem. No problem in the past

Purchased new apps on ipad. Purchases did not synch with iphone 4. Purchases are listed in my itunes account and on my ipad, however, they are mot listed as purchased on iphone 4s. this is a new problem. I did not have any probelms in the past wit apps synching with iphone 4.

It does, but I use the SoundNote App because it records audio and allows me to draw diagrams in the document. Any thoughts on syncing the SoundNote files to the mini? I am sure it can be done with a wire, but I have a disability which makes it difficult to plug and unplug cords, so the more I can do wirelessly or through the Cloud the better. Thanks for your help! I am really grateful.

Iphone 5 will not synch, itunes stops responding

I have had my iphone 5 for over a year. In the last month when I plug it in, itunes will freeze up and stop responding. I can not synch, add new music, new movies. I have to shut down itunes. This happens whether I plug in my iphone or my husband's iphone (both iphone 5's). Without an iphone plugged in, itunes will not freeze. My iPad air synchs just fine.
We have shut down the computer, we have tried numerous times. All software is up to date. Itunes is running 11.2.0.115. The iphones are running iOS 7.1.1. This was happening on iOS 7.1 but I don't believe it was happening before that update.
Any ideas?

Hi gt7473c,
It sounds like iTunes works fine until you connect your iPhones. The article below provides several tips that can resolve the issue including suggestions that will help isolate the issue to the iOS devices or computer.
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3219
Symptoms
In rare instances, iTunes may become unresponsive when connecting an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer. iTunes may become responsive again after you disconnect the device from the computer.
Resolution
Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
Install any available software updates for your computer.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions.
For Windows: Refer to the documentation for your computer for instructions on using Windows Update to update your computer.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also download iTunes from the Apple website.
For Windows: Use Apple Software Update, or download iTunes from the Apple website.
Test with automatic syncing disabled.Reconnect your device and test to see if the issue still occurs. If your device is recognized successfully, you may be able to isolate which type of data is causing the issue. Do this by deselecting all syncing options under each of the syncing tabs and then sync. After that, re-enable your sync options one at a time until the issue returns.
Note: If the issue only occurs when syncing data from the Info tab is enabled (For example: Contact, Calendar, Mail account or Bookmark syncing), reset the Sync History (for Mac OS X instructions see this article, for Windows see this article).
For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
Check your device for podcasts. If there are any podcasts, manually delete all podcast episodes from the device by sliding your finger across the podcast episode's name and tapping Delete. Once all podcasts are removed from your device, reconnect it to the computer, open iTunes, and test.
If possible, test to see if connecting your device to a different computer with the latest version of iTunes installed resolves the issue.
Test with iTunes plug-ins removed.
Quit iTunes.
Navigate to the following folder, based on your operating system:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\[username]\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins (The "~" represents your Home folder)
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
If any files are in this folder, move them to the Desktop temporarily.
Open iTunes and test to see if the issue is resolved. If so, you may leave these iTunes plug-ins removed. If you wish to re-use these iTunes plug-ins, consult the vendor for the iTunes plug-ins to see if any updates are available.
If the issue also occurs on a different computer:
If the issue does not occur on a different computer, or no other computer is available to try:

IPhone and IPad not synching wirelessly

iPad and iPhone not synching wirelessly or even when connected to iMac. iMac sees and tries to synch but devices not responding. Seem to work fine yesterday. Wondering if I changed something in settings?

Andrew Bernstein1 wrote:
I just downloaded the new I tunes and was having trouble getting into the iTunes store. I then noticed that neither my iphone4s or iPad 2 were showing up in the right side list.
The right side list? Where is this area that you are talking about? My iDevices appear on the left side of the iTunes window when iTunes is running. I sync with WiFi.
I charge my iPhone every other day and my iPad every few days so they should synch. Have it set up in iTunes correctly.
What does charging either device have to do with syncing?
I need to do the synch manually ? Does this have something to do with not being able to get into I tunes store on desktop? It just hangs
If iTunes just hangs, I think it can be safely assumed that you might not be able to sync.
Frankly I am just a bit confused by your explanation on what is going on with your devices and iTunes.

Messages from iPad not Synching with MacBook Pro when Powered Off

I have the new MacBook Pro (2 GHz, i7, purchased Feb 2014), 15" Retina running OSX 10.9.4. I also had an iPad3 (Retina) but just upgraded to the new iPad Air 2 weeks ago. I do not have an iPhone, but that's next. I have used the same iCloud account for all devices.
The issue:
Messages (or message conversations) that I have when using my iPad Air are not synching with the MacBook under certain conditions.
1) If my MacBook is on, there is no issue. Messages between devices (whether being composed on the iPad or MacBook) synch instantly between devices.
2) If my MacBook is sleeping, most (but I do not think all) messages sent from my iPad will synch with the MacBook when it wakes up from sleep.
3) If my MacBook was powered off and I had message conversations using my iPad while the MacBook was off, these messages do not synch with my MacBook after I turn it back on. BUT, this depends:
     a) if I power on the MacBook shortly after (5-10 min) I had the message conversation on the iPad, sometimes these messages on the iPad will synch with my MacBook after I power it on.
     b) If my MacBook was powered off for several hours after I had a message conversation on my iPad, and then I power on the MacBook, these conversations are not synching on the MacBook at all.
     i.e Assume MacBook is powered off. I have a message conversation on my iPad at 4:30 PM. If I power on my MacBook at 4:35 PM, the message from my iPad synchs with the MacBook. However, if I power on my MacBook say at 10 PM or the next day, then the message conversation I had on the iPad DOES NOT synch with my MacBook.
Confused? So am I. To complicate matters, I did not have these issues while I had my old iPad 3. I only starting noticing it when I bought the new iPad Air two weeks ago. I do not know if this is related.
Another issue: SOME message conversations on my MacBook and iPad air now appear to get out of chronological order. In fact, on my iPad air, I received a message at 10 AM (message A) and then had several other messages with this person throughout the day on my iPad (at 11 AM, and then 2 PM). Later that evening around 10 PM, the original message (message A) was received again as a new message on my iPad (i.e. received a new message notification). Now, message A appears out of order (it shows the timestamp of 10 AM, but it displays after the messages that came at 11 AM and 2 PM). Since my MacBook was on, these messages synched with my MacBook, but were (and remain) in the proper chronological order.
Other iCloud apps (calendar, mail, FaceTime notifications, notes, keychain, Photo-stream etc. seem to be synching fine between devices). One last observation, when I bought the iPad air and restored it from the backup I made from the old iPad 3, everything restored fine from the backup except for Calendar. For whatever reason, some old calendar entries did not restore on the new iPad.
I have run a myriad of tests (sending messages to myself from both my new and old iPad (even created a new apple ID from the old iPad)) with my MacBook sleeping or powered off for varying amounts of time in order to provide the information above. I also reinstalled the operating system on my MacBook but this did not resolve the issue.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful. I have been in contact by phone with Apple support and have them baffled as well, but they are doing their best to help.
Thanks,
HankSTL
ps. I may post to several communities so if you see this message in several communities, I am just trying to get the best coverage.

The same thing is happening to me.
And it's similar to this thread:

Thought I'd cross-ref the two.

IPad not synching to iTunes 10.3

Hi,
I just downloaded 10.3 and plugged in my iPad. It says starting synch but doesn't do anything.
do I need to reset any settings to make this start working again?
this worked fine with the published version of iTunes.
and then my next question would be if this never synchs, is there a way to go back to the previous version?
thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave:
I've been having similar problems with my 2nd gen iPod nano since updating to iTunes v. 10.3.0 on June 7, 2011.
I noticed that FileHippo posted a new iTunes update for v. 10.3.1 just two days later on June 9th. I haven't installed the newer version but according to the change log here the new v. 10.3.1 fixes a bug that some users are having synching their iPod.

Music on ipad not in itunes library

My daughter upgraded her ipad to ios7 everything was working fine . I asked her if she does a back up just in case her ipad was reset . She had never done one . I updated her itunes on her mac to 11.1 and then did a backup on her desktop mac . She had 119 songs in itunes music but not on her ipad . I asked if she wanted them on her ipad . She said yes . I did a sync of her music library to her ipad . When complete i looked at her ipad music . It showed 190 songs . the first album had 30 songs she said she never heard of . it showed a cloud next to the album . I went to her music on the desktop in itunes and its not there
Where did the album come from and how do we get rid of it from the ipad . and will it come back every time she syncs or makes a back up
So strange that she now has music on her ipad thats not in her itunes library. Hpe someone can help

If you go to the Music app in your iPad and see albums there, and select one and see cloud symbols on the right this is music previously purchased which is now directly accessible from iCloud and can be played from iCloud without the need to download first.
So it just sounds to me from what you've said that you can see a previously purchased album using the power of iCloud.
I've got no music whatsoever on my iPad, yet if I open the music App and view Albums I can see every album I've purchased and can listen to it or download it if I wish.
Regards,
Steve

Music on ipad not on itunes

Have synced my ipad with itunes and there are songs that have not transfered over from the ipad. How do I get them from the ipad to itunes without loosing everything?

I origanlly downloaded cd's and purchased music on my itune account. Transfered music to my ipod touch said something about having 2 libaries and wanted to know if I wanted to erase and sync like adummy i said yes. The music is now gone from the ipod and library but still have it on ipad. I want to get the music from the ipad back to the itune library so I can put it back on my ipod also.

Pages on iPad not synching with iCloud

I have iCloud set up on my iPad. I have iCloud turned on in Pages. However, none of my files are uploading. All the Apple IDs and passwords are fine. Could it be I don't have the cellular plan turned on? I rely on my home wifi network.

OK... here's the low-down from Apple-care. They put out the update, but it will cause pages (and keynote?, and ???) not to synch with iCloud. They knew it... they put it out anyway, and it won't be fixed until they do the new, free update to Yosemite sometime later this month. I did find an end-around though. E-mail your document to yourself and open it up in pages. Pain in the posterior... and certainly not Apple-Tech, but it is a workable solution until they fix their blunder. Oh... did you update your iPad to 8.0.1 and it mess you up? They pulled that and sent out 8.0.2. Wow... I'd think i was back in PC land... Not cool.

IPad not seeing iTunes balances

I have a gift card balance in iTunes and have updated and verified my payment methods through iTunes via PayPal. Yet my iPad does not recognize the balance in iTunes and keeps repeating I need to login via my computer and verify. What do I do now?

Have you set up playlists?
Create a playlist drop all the music you want on your iPHone into it
then when your iPhone is connected go to the music tab choose sync playlist and check the little box next to the playlist name
click apply and then sync

IPad not synching properly

For some reason my iPad doesnt want to sync with iTunes anymore.
It shows as having 4.7gb of Apps installed, but when I go to the App tab, 'Sync Apps' isn't selected and if I choose it, it warns me that everything on my iPad will be overwritten - what should I do?
Also, if I try and transfer purchases from iPad to iTunes i just get "Waiting for Changes to be applied"
I'm on iOS5 if that helps!?

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
If the issue persists reset your sync history and try again: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26867.html
If the issue persists reset your sync data from the computer to the cloud (MobileMe) and then try again: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8933.html
Hope that helps.

UK Big bang theory season 5: full season available on iPad, not in iTunes?

I am trying to understand why if I visit iTunes store UK on my mac, only 15 of the 24 episodes are available. However I visit the iTunes store on my iPad ( still UK store, and my iPad syncs with the mac mentioned ) and all 24 episodes are available for download ?
Why is available content different on the two devices that both use the same tunes store

I've tried contacting them too. First response was "We're looking into it, the episode will be available soon". When I tried to probe further (when exactly? Will it be downloaded with my existing Season Pass? Will I have to pay for it individually? etc) I got absolutely zero feedback.
Rather disappointed with the overall service and considering this sort of thing has happened with another TV series I purchased (been waiting several months for the remaining episodes, which have long since aired on most TV networks), I won't be recommending the Season Pass option to friends and family anytime soon.
Last I heard the episode was up on the Store last year sometime, but was missing several minutes of content so I presume it was taken down for that reason.
In response to akanksha.gupta, watching it on a website is all well and good, but some of us have paid for a Season Pass and we expect to get what we paid for. That said, I'll be watching it online in future as Apple are obviously eager to accept our money but fail to deliver the goods.
