iPad syncing stays on step 5 of 5 “waiting for items to copy” but does not copy anything...  should I restore the iPad?

Hey, I was having the same problem,, i just got mine to work. Take off everything but your apps (meaning take off pictures, music, ringtones, movies, tv shows, etc just leave on the apps) Then go up to the top and go to Store and turn off Genius. Restore your iPhone (It'll ask you to back up, click yes.) Restore from back up, Let your apps come back then when those are done add each category one by one. (i.e. click Photos -> Sync Photos and let them finish, then click something else like music) Hope this helps!

  • I try and save a photo (from Path) and it downloads but does not download (save) in iPhoto. The iPad I am using is new, I could perform this task on my old iPad. Why the difference?

    I cannot save a photo on my new iPad (from Path) to iPhoto. The phot appears to download but then does not appear in iPhoto. I can perform the same task with my old iPad. I can also save an emailed photo to iPhoto. Thanks

    Right click on the photo in Safari and use the add photo to iPhoto option - if that is not there then your only choice is to save to disk and then import to iPhoto

  • When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

    when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.  Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in.  Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply

  • TS3274 I plugged in my earphones and it does not work. it still plays on the Ipad speaker

    I plugged in my earphones and they do not work, it just playes thru the Ipad mini's speaker

    To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
    In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

  • Can't update apps and does not show that I can update the iPad?

    When I try to update apps it says that I need to update to iOS 6 or later. When I try to update it says that iOS 5.1.1 . How do I get the iOS updates I need so that I can update my apps?

    If you have the iPad 1 the highest iOS level it can be updated to is iOS 5.1.1. If App updates require iOS 6 or higher you will not be able to get them.

  • Just upgraded mac book pro to lion also needed a new printer printer says in has AirPrint but does not support lion ?  I need the AirPrint because of my iPad  help please ?

    Just upgraded my mac book pro to the lion operating system, the next day my printer broke.  Went to buy a new printer that supports AirPrint because I also have an iPad ( my old printer did NOT support AirPrint ). The printer I bought is an HP that said it supported AirPrint, when I installed the printer and try to run the installation software it said the printer did not support lion. Any answers or suggestions, I would LOVE to be able to finally print from my iPad.

    Check with HP whether the printer and/or printer driver is compatible with Lion. Any hint as to what printer?

  • When scrolling bookmarks the cursor gets stuck on a bookmark and stays there even if I continue to move the cursor but does not happen if I slide to the subfolder.

    I am using a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 and using Firefox 3.6.10. When I scroll down my list of bookmarks the cursor will highlight a bookmark and although I continue to move the cursor the previously mentioned bookmark remains highlighted and the subfolder remains open. If I try to choose another bookmark, when I click the bookmarks disappear and I must reselect bookmarks again. The only way to select the bookmark I want is to carefully scroll down the edge of the bookmark folder an move the cursor into the bookmark. This does not occur when I get into a subfolder.

    Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

  • I am trying to restore my iphone 4 and when it gets to the, waiting for iphone, stage he phone does not respond and it comes up with error 4005. does anyone know how to resolve this issue. thanks

    I am trying to resore my iphone 4 and the phone keeps causing an error 4005. i have updated itunes and am at a loss as how to restore phone. please help

    Hello there, Shaz18663.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a solution for the error you have mentioned:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Particularly:
    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • TS3253 Is my original iPad compatible with iHome DM12 wireless speaker.  I am having trouble with pairing.  The iPad sees the device but does not connect

    Is my original iPad compatible with iHome iDM12 wireless speakers?  I am having trouble pairing.  iPad sees device but does not connect.

    It should be it the iHome supports the bluetooth profiles that the iPod supports. See:
    iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
    Try resetting the iHome if it was previusly paired to another device.

  • Ipod syncs but itunes does not copy to ipod ?

    Itunes syncs with ipod but does not copy to ipod ?

    Hi ranko65!
    I think it's possible that your iPod is not appearing on the desktop/in the Finder because you are automatically syncing your iPod with iTunes, but Disk Use is not enabled.
    See this aricle for details:

  • Sync of iPad (1) to iTunes after iOS5 upgrade, getting "waiting for items to copy" message that hangs sync, lasts forever

    I've seen this same problem in other posts, but the solutions seems suspect to me. People are seeing this on both Mac and Windows syncs. The "data" that is being sync'd seems to change for each person, and in fact is different each time I try. Sometimes it is "data" that is being sync'd, sometimes it is "Genius Data", sometimes something else. The common problem across platforms is that somewhere in the iPad sync process it gets "stuck" with the message "Waiting for items to copy". In my case, I ran this overnight -- for over 12 hours -- and the problem did not resolve.
    Here is my situation: iPad1, just upgraded to iOS5. MacBook Pro just upgraded to 10.7.2. itunes 10.5. When I connect the iPad, iTunes does a synchronization automatically and seems to succeed up to the last step, in my case 8 of 8. Then, it "hangs" during synchronization. Sometimes it says it is Syncing Genius Data, sometimes it says something different. But, it always says "Waiting for items to copy" and then sits forever.
    To terminate this I just eject the iPad and things seem to be working okay, but it is troublesome that the sync does not complete normally.

    Hi TD,
    You solved my problem awhile ago and I didn't post a thank here.  So thank you!  I was having a problem with a PDF that kept rechecking itself.  It was not the User guide.  Anyway, I posted your solution on another discussion board and it has solved the issue for several people. Here's the link. My post is on the last page.  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3391000
