IPad will not sync contacts

Hi all,
My Address Book Contacts on my Mac are not being synced to my iPad, they sync just fine to my iPhone. Before anyone asks I have gone into the info tab (while my iPad is connected to my Mac) and deselected everything and then selected just the Advanced>Contacts. Which should replace all the contacts on my iPad (which there are none) with contacts from my Mac. Does not work. I am not using the cloud, mobile me or anything else other than usb from my Mac to my iPad. How can I get my Address Book contacts form my Mac OS 10.5.8 to my iPad iOS 5.0.1?

Have you tried a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My Ipad will not sync due to apps installed could not be determined

My ipad will not sync because apssinstalled could not be determined> how is this when everything is purchased through itunes?

What model iPad and what version of iTunes is on your computer?
Try this.
Unplug the iPad from your computer.
Close the iTunes app on your computer.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Connect the iPad to your computer and reopen iTunes.
Hopefully this will correct the problem.

My ipad will not sync with itunes/windows 8

My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
For instance - if you want to sync music....
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

After upgrading to ios5 iPad will not sync

Downloaded iOS without issue. After initial errors restoring, finally got through that portion. Then had problems getting through iPad setup - got stuck on "Find my iPad" screen; rebooted device and got through that. Now the iPad will not sync with my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Restored twice. Keep getting "Failed to initialize Snyc" error message.

I experienced this one time and this is what I did and it worked for me. You can try it as well and see of it works for you.
Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on your ID and sign out. Restart your iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign In. Then go to automatic downloads and try again.

My "notes" on iPad will not sync with iPhone thru iCloud. What gives?

My "notes" on iphone and iPad will not sync thru iCloud. I am sure it is user error...but I can not figure it out.

It reads like this is a problem on the iOS side. On your iPhone or iPad launch the notes app, in the top left corner tap the button until you are on the Accounts page and see if iCloud is an option. If it is select that option and new notes will push to your Mac. If its not close the Notes app and go to Settings > iCloud > Notes > Toggle On. The option will now be in the notes app as described above. Side note: You may be asked to set up an iCloud email if you haven't already. Hope that helps.

My ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync. Can someone help me?

my ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync. Can someone help me?

going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process. Have you ever seen this?
After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music. The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad. so strange. I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
Thanks for your time and help!

My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

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 ipod classic 80 gb will not sync contacts form Outlook in windows 7. I have tried many suggestions but none work.

My ipod classic 80 gb will not sync with contacts in outlook in windows 7. It never has synced all contacts but for a while it would sync "All Contacts" if I created a distribution group in Contacts for that purpose. Now it will not even do that. What can i do ?

Hi there,
I would recommend reviewing the process for setting up syncing in iTunes 11. Take a look at the article below for more information.

IPad will not sync photos

I recently replaced an iPad that was working perfectly, except the screen cracked. The new one syncs with everything fine, except for photos. Photos worked perfectly on the original one. I am using iPhoto to sync. I haven't done anything differently than with the first iPad. I called the support line and after 90 minutes of trying everything from deleting the photo cache to creating screen shot photos and testing those, nothing worked. I am scheduled to go in and visit the genius bar. In the meantime, I am wondering, has anyone else seen this? Upon syncing, all items work fine, and the photos go through optimization. However, when it is done, it says it is syncing photos for a few seconds, then stops and gives the error: iPad can not sync because the file is missing. What file? Nobody seems to know.

Before you start, you need to secure a computer, of course. Once secured, plug the iPad device into the pc to start the syncing process. After plugging the device, the management screen of the iPad will show up. On this screen locate the Photos tab (uppermost part) and click on it. You should then see a Sync Photos box on top. Put a check on the box. There is a drop-down menu next to it where you can choose the folder or application that restrains the photo library. Options will vary according to what application you select and utilize. Among with these are the option to sync individual galleries and the other choice is to sync the entire photo album.
To sync one folder of photos, you can search the hard drive for the right folder to sync and then continue with syncing the entire folder or subfolders to the iPad system. Once you make sure everything is correct, you can go ahead and click the Apply button at the lower-right side of the iTunes screen to re-sync and save photos to the iPad contrivance.
Or you can refer to this page about [How to transfer iPad/iPod/iPhone contents to computer?|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod/iPhone/iPadTo_Computer_Transfer_%26_Backup_SoftwareReviews] It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac).

My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync. As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down. I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error. Not sure what to do now.
