Ipad not Syncing with iTunes

I am having increasing problems with getting my iPad to Sync with Itunes on my 17" MacBook Pro.  Both Mac OS and iTunes up to date with latest software as is the iPad.  The trouble started a couple of months ago with some apps failing to sync.  I deleted them from the iPad and then it was ok for a while, however this has repeated itself with an increasing frequency.
Today, whenever I connect my iPad to Itunes it will not sync.  It starts with the message "Waiting to Sync" then after a while briefly displays Cancelling Sync and then stops.  If I try and move from the Summary tab in iTunes to the Apps tab I get the spinning ball of death and iTunes hangs until I either Force Quit or unplug the iPad.
Interestingly there is no problem when I connect my wifes iPad to my Macbook Pro.  However I have the same problem when I try to connect to iTunes on her MacAir.
I have reset my iPad's settings.  I have restarted my Mac and iPad numerous times.  I have deleted all the iPad backup files on iTunes and done just about everything I can find with respect to things even remotely similar from the web or discussion boards.  Logically I have to assume it is something on my iPad however everything else is working fine - or so it seems.
Anybody else out there with this or a similar problem or any suggestions???
Thanks in advance.

I want to start off by saying the latest update is the worst piece of software I have ever tried downloading onto my computer. After three unsuccesful updates directly from Itunes I downloaded it to file and then installed three times before it succesfully installed. At this point Itunes would freeze when trying to recognize my Ipad, Ive reinstalled twice more including individual installs of Quicktime and Itunes and NOTHING is making this worthless software work. I am not impressed at all Apple, as a matter of fact I'm tempted to NEVER buy another Apple product again because of how poor this latest update is. but whatever, some help would be nice.

  • Mini ipad not sync with itunes

    I have windows 7 64 bit, itunes 11.2 and ios 7.1.1.  On May 21, 2014, I updated both my ipad 2 and mini ipad and it went into recovery mode.  I uninstalled all the programs required by apple (itunes, apple software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support ) in order by your support article HT1923.  I then reinstalled itunes and it restored my ipad and mini ipad.
    I bought a program called coptic dictionary on May 22, 2014 on my mini ipad.  I wanted to sync it to my laptop without wifi using itunes.  But the application was not showing on my laptop.  I was able before the recovery problem occured sync my mini ipad and ipad 2 with itunes without wifi.  Now I have to use wifi to sync.    Why is that?
    Is there a way to sync apps that are bought on the ipad to itunes without wifi.  If so how?  Thanks

    Hi 7Pep4,
    Take a look at the article below it will walk you through syncing to iTunes with the USB adapter cable.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Sync using USB
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

  • Books purchased on ipad not syncing with itunes

    I have a purchased around 20 or so books on my ipad. I bouth them over time. The books that I purchased earlier in the year synced as normal and show up in tunes. The last 10 or so books will not show up in itunes?

    Do they copy over if you do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) ? If they are still in the store thne you should also be able to re-download them on your computer via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

    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.

    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.

  • My new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes

    my new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes.  I am on a Windows system

    Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded?  If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized.  With iTunes open, click on Store at the top.  Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them.  Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

  • My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

  • HT1414 My Nano will not sync with iTunes.

    Nano will not sync with iTunes.  I get an error to retry or to reinstall.  I've tried most of the troubleshooting suggestions on the website.  I have not reinstalled.  My iPhone and iPad both sync with no issues.  The computer recognizes the Nano.  Is reinstalling my only option?  This started when I tried to update my devices with new music.  I noticed the error the next morning before my run and my Nano all the sudden had no music.  Went to re-sync and I received the error.

    It could be a number of issues, such as the soddering that connects the 30-pin adapter that then connects to your computer could have come loose. However that is unlikely unless you have dropped your device a lot. But for anyone to be of more assistance you will need to provide more information. Such as: does the divice still show up in iTunes? If not then you may have to put it into DUF mode, or you could bring it in to your nearest apple store and see how much help they can be. Caution: once in DUF mode you should be able to restore the device to its orginal settings and the newest software, but you will have to re-sync your libary, redo all of your selections ect. unless you have a local backup on your coumputer which you should be able to acess by [option]-click the restore button and selecting the latest backup, (at least I believe its [option]-click).
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod touch will not Sync with Itunes

    Roomate deleted most of my music on my ipod touch and now it will not sync with itunes when I try to put the music back on.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - have you tried a different cable/USP port?
    - Assuming a PC look here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • HT4235 Bought an ipod but it will not sync with itunes.  Diagnostics passes everything but the sync test says "no ipod found" even though the computer shows it and itunes shows it but is still doesn't sync.

    I purchased an ipod shuffle (5th generation I think).  It is recognized by the computer and recognized by itunes but will not sync with itunes.  Ran diagnostics and all passed but when it got to the sync test, it says "ipod touch, iphone, or ipad found".  When I put on earphones, it tells me to sync with itunes.  But it will not.  What a person to do?
