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.

  • My iPod Touch will not synch properly or restore at all.

    When I connect it to my i-Tunes library, it will not synch properly.  I receive an error message saying: "ITunes was unable to load provider data from Synch Services.  Reconnect or try again later."  I do reconnect and I still eceive the same error message.  When I attempt to restore the iPod Touch, I receive an error message saying that I don't have enough access permissions.  When my son connected the iPod Touch to his i-Tunes library on his side of the computer (I have a PC with multiple accounts for me and my family), he did not receive any error messages.  Moreover, he was able to synch the iPod Touch properly and even restore it to its factory settings without any trouble.  I think that this may be a problem with my i-Tunes library, but I have tried several times to update my i-Tunes version and I still receive error messages.  For some reason, my son does not have any problems.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

  • 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,

    The same thing is happening to me.

  • 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.

  • Why does my ipad not work properly when charging

    when my ipad is plugged to charger it does not work properly  goes crazy

    Not sure what 'goes crazy' means but it most likely should not do that.  Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Also try it plugged into another outlet (on another circuit) and/or try another charger.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Podcasts not synching properly

    I have an iPod mini on which I play podcasts. I have followed the directions on the apple support site for making a smart playlist on which podcasts will stream one after another, and then be deleted from the list after being played. (In the smart playlist menu I check "Podcast" "is true" "+" "Playcount" "=0") Although the podcasts will be marked as played in the podcast listing (the blue dot next to the played podcast disappears), the played podcasts remain on my streaming smart playlist after synching. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much.

    I think this is an iTunes question, not an iPod Mini question. I have used a playlist like this through several versions of iTunes, so there's hope
    The second condition in your smart playlist shows in 8.0.1 as "Play Count" "is" 0, right? Did you verify that the "Live updating" box is checked?
    If you're looking at the playlist as shown on the Mini, have you tried syncing again? (I've noticed that with iTunes 7.7 onward there's a bug in updating podcasts on my Mini: I have to sync twice to get deleted podcasts to actually go away. This seems to have come along with the new feature that podcasts in playlists now also appear in the Podcasts section of the Mini. More precisely, the podcasts go away, but iTunes shows that the space is still in use. Sync again fixes it.)

  • 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.
    MS Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2
    iTunes v. 10.3.0.54 / iPod nano 2nd gen software v. 1.1.3

  • Why is the maps app on my ipad not working properly ?

    (Also its getting slower and the battery life goes down.)

        We want you to always have working apps linton37. I'm sorry you're having issues. Have you tried to remove the apps and redownload them back to your phone? They may need updating so they can work with your phone. I would also try accessing them on the data network to ensure its not your home wifi blocking those apps.
