Ipad will not sync songs from imported CD's

I have updated my ipad 2 with the latest IOS and now, as of yesterday, it will not sync the songs from my computer that were imported from CDs (kind=MPEG audio file). All other itunes (Kind=puchased AAC) songs will sync. I have turned it on and off, restored it, restarted itunes, restarted my computer, etc. Nothing seems to work. These songs do show up in the itunes library on my ipad in light grey with a red circle beside it with a red square in the middle, but they will not play. Nothing happens when I click on this red circle/square. Yes my PC is authorized. I sync new songs almost every day so I know this just started with this newest IOS release.
I have tried Wi Fi syncing. Nothing. I tried manually syncing and dragging the song from my library to the ipad. Nothing.

I have the exact same problem as described: red square in red circle. It appears to be only for songs that I imported from CDs. I have tried restoring, etc. but they still appear. The songs are in iTunes and play in iTunes but they will not play on iPhone. In addition, when I sync, the process never completes - step 5 of 5 continues and does not end (Waiting for Items to Copy). I have latest ios and iTunes versions. I do not back up to the cloud but do have local backup. Would appreciate any suggestions.

How do I sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPod classic?

Did you already check this article, to make sure your device is not set up to sync manually?

IPad will not sync photos from MacBook Pro master

All syncing operations work except "Photos". While analizing photo's program crashes & reverts to "problem report to Apple" window

Thanks Eric. Yes, when the iPad is connected, I have checked the appropriate boxes in the iTunes Photos Tab for the device to try to sync some or all albums, events, etc. from iPhoto and have tried checking the boxes for various subfolders to try to sync from the "Pictures" folder.
I am able to see all of the folder iPhoto and Pictures folder options from iTunes. When I click on the various folders, the capacity bar will increase and decrease depending on what I select or deselect.

New ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import

my new ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import,through itunes,other computer has no itunes

I'm not sure how the "other computer" is relevant, but on the computer with iTunes, you probably need to update the iPod's settings for automatic syncing, or load the new songs from CD manually.
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected. Select it there. The shuffle's Summary screen is shown to the right. There is a checkbox for Manually manage music there. Is that setting currently checked or not checked?
If it is checked, your iPod is set to add and remove songs manually. It does not use automatic syncing to update content. This is how to manually add and remove songs from an iPod.
To add songs manually... Show a song list in iTunes. For example, select Music under LIBRARY in the sidebar, to show your main music library list. Drag a song from the song list to the iPod in the sidebar. You can do this with more than one song selected, such as the songs from that "CD import." Alternately, right-click on the selection and choose the command Add to Playlist -> [name of your iPod].
To remove songs manually... Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: If Manually manage music is currently not checked, your iPod is set to use automatic syncing. Please post back for info on setting up or updating the iPod's automatic sync settings. When automatic syncing is enabled, you make iTunes responsible for keeping your iPod "in sync" with your iTunes library.

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 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.

My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore

My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore.

could you give us a bit more detail on the situation, Eeve?
is it that the songs say that they're transferring, and appear on the ipod screen in itunes, but when you unplug the ipod they aren't on there? or is something a bit different going on?
(if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

My ipad will not sync with itunes/windows 8

My ipad will not sync with windows 8. I had no problem with windows 7.

Some user have experienced issues with Win 8, as of yet its not listed as supported in system requirements for the ipad.

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.

Itunes v12.1 itunes will not sync photos from photoshop 12

Since I downloaded itunes v12.1, itunes will not sync photos from Photoshop 12 to my iphone 5, 6+ and older Apple TV (with hard Drive). Prior to the itunes software update, all was well. itunes indicates "0" photos available from Photoshop when there are over 7,000 photos on my desktop. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling - no success. Perhaps itunes v13 may fix the problem, meanwhile , any suggestions.

I link to it in th epost above yours.
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/download-itunes-11-1.html
Scroll down to;
Then click Mac, or whatever one is applicible to you.
Be warned though. After synced, successfully, with iTunes 11.1, i ended up with over 10GB's of 'Other' data on my iphone. I had to do a factory reset (From iTunes/iPhone/Summary). It's been a pain in the ***, but it all seems fine now. But it has taken me hours. An di now have a headache.
Also, a factory reset will remove ALL your data, and i mean EVERYTHING! You've spend the rest of the day putting everything back the way you like it, and setting up all your setting again.
Pain in the ***.

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 receive signal from new home Xfinity modem. I reset Pad but still doesnt work.

My Ipad will not receive signal from new home Xfinity modem. I reset Pad but still doen't get WIFI

Does it not show the presence of a wifi signal, or just not connect?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

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!
