Ipad will not finish sync itunes 11.1.3

I have iOs 7.0.4 and Itunes 11.1,3,8 and the sync will not finish - it gets hung up on the " waiting for items to copy" function and will not seem to finish. Any suggestions are welcome. Apple really needs to get a handle on this problem, it seems to be chronic with this version of iTunes.

And yet many are having no problem at all.
If you are syncing wireless, try synching connected with cable, or visa versa.
If iCloud is set up properly it does not create conflict unless given conflicting instructions.  The content in iCloud depends on your Apple ID.   You must use one as iCloud can only sync to one account at a time.   If you have books purchased on more than one ID, you must authorize them on your iTunes accounts get them to sync.
Check the settings in iTunes on the computer.   Turn off auto sync in preferences.   Highlight the device and bring up summary page.   Go through each page and make sure boxes are checked for any content you want added.
Apply
Sync.
IBooks have been a pain.   Only solution I found was to delete all books, then select and sync books back on to the device. 
If you find significant bugs in operation.  
First try.....reset all settings
If that fails to help....Backup to computer (not the cloud)   Restore to factory.   Restore from backup

    Hello, ktmichaels. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I am not sure what stage of syncing you are experiencing this issue.  However, it sounds like you may be experiencing this issue when syncing photos.  If that is the case try the steps in the article below.

  • IPad will not connect to iTunes without password, but screen inoperable

    After an attempted software update, the iPad will not connect to iTunes because it is password locked. But eh screen does not allow me to input the password. This is not a jailbroken iPad, but I did get a message on it that my "iPhone cannot send or receive calls without resetting."  This is why I tried to sync, etc.

    Try recovery mode.

  • IPad will not connect to iTunes on migrated iMac

    I migrated my old iMac to a new iMac.
    My iPad will not connect to iTunes on the new iMac...     "does not have permission"
    How do I get my iPad to be recognized/associated/sync'd/etc. with iTunes on my new iMac?

    I assume so. I think the Migration Assistant copies everything from the old Mac to the new Mac. I have an iTunes folder in my home directory. It contains files:  iTunes library extras, iTunes library genius, iTunes music library - and folders: album artwork, iTunes music, mobile applications, and previous iTunes libraries.
    When I connect my iPad, the iPad icon does not show in the left column, and I get a message "iTunes could not connect to thid iPad. You do not have permission."
    FYI, I had no problem syncing my iPhone to iTunes on the new machine.

    iTunes and the App Store are two different apps/stores. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. If you want to buy apps - go to the app store. If you want to but media - music, movies, TV shows - go to iTunes.

  • Running xp itouch will not finish sync

    I have been to the apple store and checked with my internet provider and my security provider and my itouch still will not finish syncing.
    After trying for several minutes it freezes my computer.

    They said everything looks like it should work. They uninstalled all components and reinstalled them in order according to your web instructions and it didn't make any difference.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    Make sure "Sync this iPad over wifi box is checked before WIFI sync will work.
    If iTunes is still not detecting your iPad, shut down your router, computer and iPad.
    Restart them in following order:
    1. Router
    2. Computer.  After everything fully loaded, launch iTunes
    3. iPad
    wait for a few minutes for iTunes to detect iPad and show it under "Devices" on iTunes left Pane.

  • My first generation iPad will not synchronize with iTunes

    I haven't synchronized my iPad to iTunes for a while and when I plug it in to my iMac it just never connects.  Does anyone know of an issue may cause this or a solution?  My mac is running 10.8.5 with the latest version of iTunes and the iPad is running iOS 5.1.1.

    Hello wga,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the iPad is not seen in iTunes and will not sync.
    I recommend taking a look at this article to help troubleshoot this issue named:
    iPad not appearing in iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    Here is step one to get you started:
    Update iTunes
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. To check for available updates of iTunes on a Mac, go to iTunes > Check for Updates. On Windows, go to Help > Check for Updates.
    To install iTunes, you need one of the following operating systems on your computer:
    Mac: OS X version 10.6 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Note: If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 7, be sure to download the 64-bit version of iTunes.
    If your computer does not meet these requirements, you may need to upgrade your software or computer before installing iTunes.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • TS1591 iPad will not appear in Itunes

    My iPad 2 will not appear in Itunes. I have looked at other apple support pages and no of them have worked for me. It shows that the iPad is charging when I plug it into the computer but it will not show in Itunes.

    I had the same problem -- here is what I did to fix it:
    I turned my phone off and turned off iTunes. I then turned my phone on and then connected the phone to the computer. It automatically launched iTunes and showed up under the devices.
    Hope this helps!

  • ITunes 11.1.2 will not finish syncing

    I'm sure there's already a thread for this, but has anyone been able to get a message to Apple's iTunes programming directorate that the latest version of iTunes for Windows (11.1.2) is bug-ridden? Specifically, whether I'm syncing my iPhone 5s or my iPad 3rd Gen., the sycing process hangs at the last step, when process the window at the top of my iTunes screen says "finishing sync." The only think I can do is to hit the eject button and then reconnect it. This bug doesn't seem to be doing anything destructive to the devices, but it is a pain in the butt. I hope Apple releases a fix soon, and I hope there's no file corruption happening that the end user is unaware of.

    I'm having a similar problem - but the difference being the device isn't recognised at all!!! The latest updates for IOS and iTunes are filled with bugs, it's so annoying I can no longer sync my iPod Touch (5th gen) and the device itself isn't sending iMessages & Facetime won't work!
    This thread is about devices not syncing properly.  If your iPod Touch isn't behaving normally it's more likely that there's an issue with the device itself.
    First try resetting it:

  • ITunes will not finish sync with Apps!!! HELP!!

    I have a Iphone 4s with ios 6 running on it and just yesterday it will not follow thru with the apps that i purchase from Itunes on the comp... It starts the process but when it gets to "Determining Apps To Sync" it just stops, no error message no nothing!!! HELP!!! I tried uninstalling Itunes and loading a fresh copy and it did not work, new cable!! HELP!!!
    Thans

    I figured it out!!! You need to uninstall Itunes completely from the PC, make sure you go into the System Files, these are located under start, my computer, then a folder called "program files", make sure you delete the Itunes entirely and empty the recycle bin, restart the comp, install itunes once again, load all your purchased apps/music/etc.. Authorize the computer, Sync the Iphone and YAY!!!! It works!!!!
    Thanks all for the 411!!
