Ipad won't sync after iOS 7.03 update: Other is huge and over capacity

When iOS7 was updated last week (7.0.3) the update went fine on my iphone 5s but was interupted on my iPad. 
Now, when I connect the iPad via cable to my desktop Mac, it will not sync.  It connects to the iPad just fine, but the "changes" cannot be applied because it shows that the amount of data to be transfered to the 64GB iPad is "Over Capactiy by 31.37GB."  A total of 45.2GB of "Other" is indicated on the summary page in iTunes in a yellow band. 
(A sync from the same ID, same iTunes library with the same settings, with the iPhone 5S of the same capacity (64GB) has NO trouble completing properly.  It shows only 1.62 GB of "Other."
I have tried restoring the iPad from a previous back up. No good.
I have tried restoring the iPad to a new, factory issued condition, set it up as if it were a new iPad and tried to sync.  No good.
I have changed the sync setting so that NO video or audio tracks are to be synced (freeing enough space for all of the bloated, "Other" category.)  Stiill ends up stuck perpetually in Syncing iPad - Step 4 of 4 - "Waiting for changes to be applied"
Any suggestions?
SERIOUSLY frustrated. 

I am having the exact same issue except with the iPhone 4s.
"Other" shows 34.88GB
I tried everything you did, short of factory reset, since I read elsewhere that won't work.
iOS 7.0.3
iPhone 4s 64GB
Help!

  • Ipod Touch 5th gen won't sync after iOS update

    iPod Touch will not sync after iOS 7 update. It's stucked at "changes are being applied" and won't go past that point. Tried 5 times and got the same problem. I have the latest iTunes installed.
    Any suggestions?

    Try a cold reboot of your phone / iPod. I.e. hold power + home button until it reboots.
    Worked for me.

  • Ipod Touch(4G) won't sync after iOS 5 update

    After I updated to iOS 5 my ipod could no longer sync with my iTunes. When plugged in it will appear on the left of iTunes but the sync button is grayed out and unpressible. I have tried restoring a backup on the ipod, resetting to factory settings, reinstalling iTunes, rebooting computer/ipod, and creating a new library. I have never had a problem like this before. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem and read where one person turned off ICloud.  I do not have I Cloud activated so I went ahead and turned off WiFi.  Now it is syncing.
    It used to not get past Step 1 of Syncing and it would say "Fail to Sync" or something like that.

  • HT4623 Reminders won't work after iOS 6.1 update on iPhone 5?

    I updated to the new iOS 6.1 update last night. Went to make a reminder through siri and i get to the point were it asks to confim. When I press confirm Siri tells me that she can't do it. I try to set a reminder manually and the app does not give me the option to add a reminder manually. Everything worked fine before the update when my iPhone 5 had the 6.0 iOS?
    Any ideas on what the problem coulb be? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • Ipad won't sync after updating to snow leopard

    Any help available regarding a non-syncing ipad first gen, after updating to snow leopard on my imac?  The ios software on ipad is up to date, and the snow leopard version is also up to date.  The computer will not even recognize that the ipad is connected.  Thx.

    Try something very simple first. Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad. Then try again.
    I had some issues when I first installed SL on my last MacBook, and I still have issues every now and then with the iPad not being recognized (now running Lion 10.7.3 on a new MacBook Pro) and this has always worked for me. You may have to reboot the Mac a couple of times - but try it and see if it works for you.

  • ICal home calendar won't sync after iOS 5 -- Snow Leopard

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, my desktop computer's iCal home calendar is no longer syncing events from the iPhone. I'm running Snow Leopard, so I know the desktop computer can't sync through the cloud. But shouldn't it still be getting new events from the iPhone itself when the iPhone syncs with the desktop, same as it used to before iCloud?

  • IPad won't restore after iOS 7.1.2

    Finally downloaded the 7.1.2 update but I wish I hadn't. After downloading on my iPad 3, I got the "connect to iTunes screen." Once there, iTunes says my ipad is in recovery mode and i need to download a(nother) software update. 45 minutes later, after downloading the entire file, I get a file corrupter err 1403 message. I tried again. 45 minutes later, the same result. i turned off my firewall. same thing. Apple wants to charge me $20 to chat with a service tech (after THEIR update fried my iPad). Any help from someone NOT affiliated with Apple would be appreciated.

  • Ipad does not work after IOS 7.2 update

    After update to IOS 7.2 for my latest generation Ipad (with retina display) the screen repeatedly changes betwen the regular view of my home screen with ipad app icons over to the Apple update screen (black and white screen with the Apple logo in the middle. This occurs back and forth every few seconds. No update is actually taking place and under Genera it says my software is up to date.
    What to do?

    Try this  - 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.)

  • My ipad 2 wont work after IOS 6.1 update

    Hi,
    I have tried installing the IOS6.1 update after it asking my for the last few days to install it, now All i get is the itunes and USB screen rendering the ipad completely useless!
    I have tried connecting it to Itunes via my laptop where is asks me to restore the iapd due to errors etc, everytime (I have tried at least 6 times) I tried to down load the Ipad update/restore file which is approx 780MBs it gets up to 386.8mb and 10 mins remaining where it appears to jam for several minutes before speeding up to the finish and then saying download failed/interumpted. I dont know what else to try as I have the latest version of itunes installed.
    Will a trip to the itunes shop help? can they restore the ipad? it isnt in any kind of warranty now, how much will they sting me for? Im travelling to newcastle (our nearsest apple store for over 100 miles) tomorow anyway so may pop in.
    thanks in advance.
    Mike

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software before you try to update again.
    If you want to try recovery mode which is what Apple recommends if you are unable to update or restore your iPad, go here.

    If you want to manually download the update go here.

  • Password won't save after iOS 6.1 update

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now imessage won't save my password. After the update, I kept being asked to enter my Apple ID password.  Each time I would enter the password and 30 seconds later the dialog would pop up again.  After entering it one time I quickly navigated to Settings and discovered that my AppleID password was missing from Messages.  I entered it there and that stopped the dialog box from popping up.
    Later I had to shut down and restart my phone so iTunes would recognize it.  After it booted up the recurring Apple ID dialog box started popping up again.
    How can I stop this from happening?

    I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
    I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me.  This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
    If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

  • IPad application transitions slow after ios 7.1 update

    I've noticed when I go to close an application (double home and slide application closed) or when I change between applications using double home it is either a hard transition, no fade - or a very delayed reaction on my iPad. Anyone else experiencing this?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first 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 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.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My iPad Air  is lagging after ios 7.1 update

    I noticed that the animations of opening and closing apps take longer than they did previously before update. I also seem to have the same issue with my iPhone 5, too! I thought the whole point of the update was to speed up my devices with the newer operating system, but alas, no.

    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Outlook calendar no longer syncs after IOS 7 / iTunes update

    Running Outlook 2003 on Win XP.  Yes that's what IT allows....
    Updated IOS7 (now at 7.0.3), tried to sync on the next day at work.  Itunes forced me to update (11.1.2.31).
    Updated iTunes.
    Notes sync.
    Calendar does not.
    iTunes says:
    Sync Calendars
    Your calendars are being synced with your iPhone over the air
    Over-the-air sync settings cane be changed on your iPhone
    I've disabled OTA calendar sync I know of (Google, iCloud) with no effect.  There are still some iCal feeds that I left on.
    Suggestions appreciated, but I'm stuck with my work environment for now.  Really would like to get back where I was before "updating". :-)

    Still struggling with this.  I did discover a diagnostic in iTunes, but it says all is well.  I suspect that is because it thinks the iPhone is syncing the Outlook calendar over the air:
