IPad wont sync of WiFi

I've plugged my iPad into my Mac (OSX 10.6.8) using the latest iTunes and checked the box "sync iPad over wifi" in the summary tab. I remove my iPad and plug it into an electrical outlet and when i go into my iPad into the "iTunes-Wifi sync" the button to tap on is gray and says "sync will resume when (computer name) is available". The iPad is connceted to the same internet connection as the Mac. It's a new iPad running 5.1.1.
Any ideas?

Having the same issue here since I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2.  Also upgraded my Mac to OSX 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7.  So all that Apple has recommended.  I've been syncing everyday over WiFi since that feature became available.  I love it!
Now, the iPhone and the iPad do not appear in the "Devices" list in iTunes anymore, and in my 2 iOS devices, in the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" section of General, they both read "Sync will resume when "Pierre's MB Pro" is available."
Anyone else seeing this?

  • My ipad wont sync using wifi

    I cant sync my ipad via itunes as it says there is not enough space altho there is plenty.  I did manage before to sync using wifi but cant now as the "sync now " is greyed out. How ca I resolve this?

    If you have been able to sync over WiFi previously, try quitting iTunes and restart the computer, launch iTunes again and restart your iPad and then try again.
    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.
    Make sure that the selection to sync over WiFi is still checked in the summary pane of iTunes as well.

  • The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

    The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file>devices>transfer purchases. It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

    Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

    Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
    I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. 

  • My iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to other computers.

    Like the title says, my iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to my bother's mac and my windows laptop.

    First off, an iPad is designed to sync with only one computer. Syncing with a second computer erases everything synced from the first computer.
    What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What happens when you try and what, if any, error messages do you receive? Do you have iTunes 11.1 or later on the computer you want to sync with?

    My calendar on my iPad wont sync into my iPhone 5 calendar, please help

    You did understand and yes you suppose to sign in with the same account, that you told me you checked and found the same. If you can't sign in, which is hard to imagine after your description and it gives you that message. That would really mean that no icloud account with your credentials have been created.
    1. Lets try to get to that site again. www.icloud.com. Should be a black page with sign in fields. Once you sign in you should see 7 icons, one of them being your calendars.
    2 Open those and follow previous directions.
    OOOOO Do it on the computer. NOT AN IPAD OR PHONE. Those can't get there.

  • IPad wont sync photos

    can't get ipad to sync photos, will do the first photo in a folder but the rest are not moved/copied. error comes up saying that the **.jpg format can not be displayed or supported on my ipad. took it to the apple store, they tried the re upload of ipad software, and itunes software to both the ipad and my laptop. even replace the ipad with a newer one, (mine was a wopping 3 days old) its a 64 gig 3G wifi, they said its prob. my laptop, i find this hard to belive, as the same laptop worked with my touch 32 gig less than a couple of weeks ago (lost it and replace it finally with the ipad) any ideas?

    Hi - I'm having the exact same issue. Spent over 4 hours with Apple tech support on the phone, at the end the tech told me "oh, my supervisor just handed me a note that Apple knows this is an issue and is working on it. I guess I can't help you" and that was the end of the call.
    My iPad is three weeks old, it sync'd photos no problem out of the box, then I let it upgrade the os to 4.2 in iTunes and then the photo sync error immediately started to appear, during the sync I get "1 of 1 copied" when in fact there are 200 photos to sync. So, Apple, what's going on? How do we fix this? I've done the following:
    - un-install and re-install iTunes on laptop
    - restore iPad to factory and start over
    - delete iPod Photo Cache folder
    - change security on same folder to remove "Read only"
    Nothing works. HELP!!
    Thanks, Barb

    Is the device being recognized in iTunes? Does iTunes "see" the iPad? If iTunes sees the iPad - I agree with the above post but take it a bit further, quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart the iPad and then try again.
    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.

  • My ipad wont sync at all

    My Ipad2 wont sync for some reason ever since the icloud come in ?

    I am having similar problems.  I get a message that says "there is not enought space available" when in fact I have gigs of room on my ipad2.  I spect all day at the apple store restoring and resyncing (thru a cloud back up) my ipad2.  It works until I try to load up media (apps, photos, movies, tv shows, etc.).  This on the heels of having done three earlier restores myself at home.  What is going on??  I only mention this here, because I had the same problem after the icloud sync was introduced.  However, reverting to a straight sync with the computer does not solve this problem wither.
    As I type this I am in the process of having restored ipad and started it as a new one.  i am going sectipn by section (app, tones, music, movie, etc) to see what will load.  So far, I see to be encountering the problem when I try to sync photos.  That seems to throw everything off.  Could it be a corrupted file that does this...like a busted xmas tree light that knocks out the whole string of lights?  Whatever it is, please please fix it apple. I need to be able to load movies and tv shows for the long upcoming holiday flights.  Thanks.  Hope this helps (all of us).

  • Had to reset computer to factory settings, now my Ipad wont sync. Ideas?

    so my computer had to be reset to factory settings, and now my Itunes account wont sync with my ipad. It wants to erase one or the other?!

    If you have it on CDs or another location, such as an external drive, import it into iTunes. If it was downloaded from the iTunes Store, fill out and submit this form or purchase the music again.
