Ipad syncing problem

hi,I have bought this ipad (with retina display) today and I gave it to my friend and he synced a lot of apps and games on it,but now that I want to sync my movies in my own itunes this alert comes up and says :"this ipad "blah blah blah" is synced with another itunes library.do you want to erase this ipad and sync with this itunes library?" WHAT SHOULD I DO? I SERIOUSLY NEED THESE VIDEOS ON THIS IPAD WHILE KEEPING THE APPS MY FRIEND SYNCED.PLEASE SAY ITS POSSIBLE...IM HOMBLY WAITING.(I DONT KNOW WHAT HOMBLY MEANS ANYWAY!)

Apps, games, etc. belong to exactly one person. If you gave this iPad to your friend to sync his/her apps and games, then those apps belong to your friend and not you. So naturally when you try to sync the iPad to your stuff, it will want to erase your friend's stuff.
You need to purchase the apps and games you want in your own account using your own Apple ID.

Iphone/Ipad Syncing Problems

When I plug my iphone into the computer I keep getting the following message."Itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. Reconnect or try again later." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to correct it?

I have done this but the probelm persists. The issue only seems to be with my Iphone 4 as my ipad syncs fine.
This article mentioned outlook which I don't use and unplugging all my USb devices. I can't do that as all my itunes data is on a portable HD connected to the computer via USB.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

IPad Syncing problems with iOS 7.1

I upgraded to iOS 7.1. Now iTunes can't find the book and video files when trying to sync my ipad. Any suggestions?

All of the original files are in my Download directory. I redid the "Add file to Library" for my books. Followed the process then synced the iPad but still had the same problem.
I'll try it again just to be sure.
Thank you for taking thetime to write and try and help. Very much appreciated

IPad Sync problem with new iTunes 12.1.0.50

I just installed iTunes 12.1.0.50 and for the first time I can't sync with my iPad 1 (IOS 5.1.1) which worked for years prior to this iTunes update. Every time i connect my device through USB cable my iTunes stops working with a message it cannot not connect and can't find location for device and I have to force quit the application. I have reset my iPad, I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and tried multiple times to get this message to disappear and sync my iPad device like I use to. It looks like the sync works with my iPhone 6.
Does anyone know a fix or having the same problem?

I have the 64G iPad non GSM model.

Although not a final solution, I've been able to bypass that problem by first syncing only two or three faces, and then going back to sync the full iPhoto library.
Hope this may help you!

Bt hub 3, itunes, iphone, ipad syncing problems - not seen

Im using the new infinity BT hub 3 and there are now issues with syncing the iphone, ipad and itunes. iTunes does not see them as devices consistantly and when it does (looking for "device"), it says it is not available to sync (not found on the network) and promply they disappear from the upper right hand corner. BT say it's an itunes issue.
I have tried changing from WPA to WEP but this doesn't work, nor does plugging the computer into the ethernet.
The devices show as being on the network by the router, but are not available to sync in itunes
What do we think people? Any ideas to fix this?

As a fallback you could try using the usb cable rather than wifi.
However to you main problem with the wifi. I to have BT infinity and not only was I having issues with not seeing the devices but also a slow speed of streaming to Apple TV3.
Turns out my issue was interference on the wifi from other wifi networks on the same channel.
Mountain Lion has a new wifi utility details here
http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/31/use-mountain-lions-new-wi-fi-scan-utility-to-optim ize-your-home-wireless-network/
Found thayt there seemed to be 3 or 4 houses on channel 6, Changed mine to channel 11, via the BT hub admin page. When everyting settled down again plugged in my devices via USB made sure they were wifi sync enabled and now all works as it should.
If you do not run mountain lion then look for istumbler on google, does the same job and its free

Removing audio from ipad: Sync problem

Hi,
I've got my ipad set to sync manually - so I simply drag and drop whatever I want from itunes into the device. I put in a playlist/cd from my itunes library but was having trouble with the cd cover image associated with it. So, I changed the image and dragged and dropped AGAIN into the ipad. (A window popped up, asking if I was sure I wanted to replace, etc, I said yes and proceeded.)
Now, though I've deleted the cd from the ipad contents tree inside of itunes (while the ipad is connected) and re-synced, the cd and playlist are still showing up in the ipad.
Wait - an idea. I'm disconnecting the ipad from the computer and I'll try re-syncing it....
Nope, no luck. Same problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Peace,
Glenn

You have to authorize the new computer to your iTunes account.

ITunes/iPad sync problem?

I've been syncing my ipad fine over the last few months, at least 2 or 3 times week, but today iTunes has suddenly decided that it doesn't want to. It says that I need to uninstall iTunes, then install the 64-bit version.. which is what this version should be anyway..
I've installed nothing new on my PC (Windows 7) and i've even tried turning it off and on again.
Anyone had this problem?

Sorry. I didn't realzie that the "other" came back as well. That is an indication that you are syncing something corrupt. Sometimes the only way to get rid of that huge "Other" content is to restore as new and start all over again....sometimes that is, not always, but sometimes, that's what you have to do.
Obviously something is getting corrupted so unless you can pin down for sure what it is, I recommend restoring as new, and start adding things back to the iPad in small increments and see how it goes. That includes adding music back in small bits as well.

Iphone/ipad sync problems

We have all of our devices set to 'Manually manage music and videos'. M daughter's iPhone 5s is obviously very new but suffers from the same issue. We are running iTunes 11.1.1.11 on Windows 7. iTunes ignores the Manually manage setting. It syncs items back to our devices that we deleted from it last time we hooked it up. It even trys to sync e-mail (keeps popping up the login box for my work e-mail in Outlook). None of the individual checkboxes on the other tabs are checked either (Music, Movies, TV Shows). I just plugged the iPad in and it added back in a movie I deleted so I could update the iPad to iOS 7. My daughter is very frustrated because she will delete music and it will add it back the very next time she connects. This is obviously something with iTunes on our PC but we are baffled as to why iTunes is ignoring settings.

Well, after hours of troubleshooting, I think I figured out the problem.
First, the fix:
Select all images in the "offending" album.
While holding down the "Option" key, click right and select "Generate Previews".
Then re-sync, and it works.
My theory on why this works:
I suspect there was no problem with the Aperture Library. I believe the problem was with the iTunes Optimized Image Cache - you know, when iTunes says "Optimizing xx of yy images for iPad". That cache, I believe, is only updated when there is a change to the image. I'm also guessing that deleting the image from the device (iPad or iPhone) does not delete the image from the cache, so if you then re-add it to the device, it pulls it from the cache. So the only way to re-generate the cached image is to make a change to the image. This can be accomplished by making additional adjustments to the image. But of course, no one wants to do that. So instead, another way to update the timestamp on the image is to regenerate the preview. When iTunes sees the update to the timestamp, it goes ahead and runs its "Optimizing..." task, recreating the cached image that gets dumped onto the iPad or iPhone.
So, I believe this is actually a bug in iTunes.

IPad syncing problems

Hi,
in the last couple of iTunes versions (currently on 10.2.2), when syncing iPad (first version), i get two messages pop up......
1. iTunes could not back up the iPad "name of ipad" because an error occurred.
2. iTunes could not backup as there is already a session in use.
Also when backing up on step 1 of 5, it gets about 90% along, then freezes.
I have recently restored but this does still not fix the issue.
is anyone else having this problem?

Check this apple article out -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529
Im not sure if it will fix that first thing, but it mentions the exact error in your second post.
WTH.

Using iBooks on iPad Syncing Problem

Using iBooks on iPad I added several books directly while not connected to iTunes. When syncing later, the books do not appear in iTunes (Windows) but seem to stay in iBooks on the iPad. Why don't they show in the Books folder? Why aren't they added to the Books in iTunes? How do I get them there? All software is at the current versions.

It may be your computer is not yet authorised. Check by going in iTunes to Store > Authorise this computer. If that's not the case, simply try going to File > Transfer Purchases
That should get any purchased content off the iPad onto the computer
Hope this helps
