IPad sync to my macbook

Y my iPad cannot changing will I sync to my macbook

My iPad has done the same thing. It did this only after one day. It successfully synced once, I downloaded about 20G of data, but has subsequently refused to re-sync. Charge icon does not display charging status when plugged into any power source. Have tried multiple cables. Have re-set settings, all the stuff suggested in the user manual (p170). Nothing works. Weird thing is that iPad keyboard works fine when docked, but still does not recharge. Down to 33% power, reluctant to start deleting iTunes and OS software, as suggested, for obvious reasons. Anyone else had some problem? I realise Apple will probably replace machine, but as I live in Alice Springs will take time, so not happy about that.

  • IPad sync connection to MacBook Air flapping

    When I plug my iPad Air into my mid-2103 MacBook Air 11", the sync connection begins flapping right away. iTunes recognizes it for a second or two and starts the sync process in and the iPad starts charging, and then the connection drops. And then it connects. And then it drops. Ad nauseum.
    I unplug it and plug it back in and it continues. I plug it into the other USB port and it continues. And after unplugging and plugging it back in several times, the iPad locks up. But after I do a reset on the iPad and connect it, it syncs fine.
    Has been happening every time I try to sync for at least the last several months.
    Looking for a solution or a nudge in the right direction.

    iPad starts charging, and then the connection drops
    Try a different USB cable from the iPad to your Mac to test.
    Have you thought of using iCloud to sync data between your Mac and iPad instead? That way you don't have to connect the iPad to your Mac and sync using iTunes.

  • My laptop got stolen and I want to sync my current ipad with the new Macbook

    Hi all,
    Unfortunately, my previous macbook was stolen, and now I just bought the new one, and I would like to sync my iPad with this new laptop. However, when I plug the iPad, there was a message from iTunes saying that my iPad is not sync with this computer and asked if I want to "erase and sync" with this new computer. Actually, I re-download all the necessary applications to iTunes on the new Macbook already, but still am not sure whether this "erase and sync" will keep the data of my iPad. There are some data such as money transactions, passwords, and game saves, etc. which I do not want to lose and don't really have backups. Would "erase and sync" remove all data of current installed applications on the iPad? Is there a way to synchronize my iPad with this new Macbook without losing data?
    Thanks,
    Kann

    I have already authorized this computer with my Apple ID. I think this only allows me to re-download all purchased applications to the iTunes library again without re-purchasing them. However, iTunes still keeps asking me if I want to "erase and sync" or not.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

    My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

  • How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3?

    How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3 without it automatically deleting previously synced photos, or replacing them with new ones?

    How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

  • Syncing pictures from MacBook pro to iPad

    None of my pictures on my MacBook pro have synced to my iPad.........but most of my pictures on my iPad have synced to my MacBook pro.  I thought once you were hooked up to iCloud all the syncing was automatic and it synced to each device.    HELP!

    From what I have noticed, in iPhoto, on the Mac, you have to manually add the picture on the Photostream.

  • I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
    Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
    When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
    Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer.

  • TS4337 I have a Google calendar that is syncing with my iPad and on my MacBook Air. However, the calendar items are not showing up when I access iCloud via the Internet. Any suggestions?

    I have a Google calendar that is syncing with my iPad and on my MacBook Air. However, the calendar items are not showing up when I access iCloud via the Internet. Any suggestions?

    On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
    Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac.

  • Unable to sync ¨collections¨ from iPad 1st generation to MacBook Pro

    Unable to sync pdf collections from iPad 1st generation to MacBook Pro. Have made needed settings in app in iPad and under preferences in App in MacBook Pro. The list of  documents appears but will not open when chosen. Any thoughts?

    Are you able to view those photos in full screen mode or in the Edit mode?  Scrolll thru those photos in full screen mode to make sure you can view them in the larger view.  If you get a black window or a black window with an "!" in the center then that's why you can't sync.  Post back with the results.

  • My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong?

    My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, txstan

    Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
    Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
    Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account.

    I have successfully sync'd my macbook and new ipad via itunes, but how do I sync the calendar, please ? I do not have icloud yet.

    You can select the calendar to sync in the Info Tab in the iTunes window on the right, when your iPad is connected to the Mac , while iTunes is running and after you select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading.

    I know Pete, but what if I don't have good internet connection sometimes?
    Imagine:
    this morning planning the whole next week with my iMac, bussiness around Europe.
    I must go this evening.
    Just now internet line fails in the neighborhood.
    Stupid situation, and not so uncommon, cause not all of us are living in Manhattan. (this is what Apple thinks)
    Cable must be an option beside iCloud.
    true or not?

  • Not all of my photos from my iPad will sync with my macbook pro retina. Any advise would be appreciated as I am a Mac beginner.

    Not all of my photos on my ipad sync across to my macbook pro retina.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thank you - I have done this now but resetting and restoring from another device didn't really help. However, syncing via iTunes was a bit more successful as it occurred to me that many of my contacts are in MS Outlook on my PC and I was able to copy them over.  There are still some contacts missing and I am continuing to try and figure out where they originate from to try and get them to show up.
