IPad2 and iOS5.1 - unable to Sync
Since loading iOS5.1 I can no longer sync
Gets stuck at Step 1 of 6 - "Waiting for sync to start"
Have restored from backup but still same issue.
Have also tried unselecting various sections like Tones, Books, Podcasts etc but still no joy
Grateful if anybody has any ideas before I have to do a complete restore.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3002: If you experience this error while updating an iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPhone 3G, please use the standard update or restore process in iTunes (click Update or Restore).
Error 3194: You may not have the latest version of iTunes installed. Update to the latest version of iTunes. If the issue persists, follow the steps above in "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com."
Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.
If you are refering to the above then I followed them as well except point 3 and 7
I dont know how firewall works to be honest.
Edit:
I manage to update from previous iterations of iOS w/o a problem. I dont know why this is happening now. My comp setup hasnt change at all.

I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone. The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC. What's the problem? I can see my photos on my ipad and Iphone. I want to be able to see them on my PC when I take pictures from my Iphone and Ipad. How do I see Photostream on my PC?
You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, alternatively, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only one calendar to sync?
If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?
Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier. -
I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync. After the last iTunes update my phone wasn't recongnized and the phone asks if I want to trust the computer everytime I connect it. Other programs can access the photos and recognize the iPhone 5 but not iTunes.
Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

Even when I authorised my pc on my iphone, when i sync the iphone with a new purchase, it prompts and error that unable to sync due to pc not authorised.
Hello, Jagatheswary.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media or Apps present in your library that is purchased with another Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Ipad2 and Iphone 4 will not sync calendar only contacts
Hello. I have a problem with an ipad2 and iphone 4. The same @me account on both which has been migrated to icloud. I put a contact on either device and almost immediately is in the other one. They are both 3g and they are now on a wifi network. (i am syncing via wifi)
The calendar is the issue. There are many events on both devices -different events- but they will not sync as the contacts do.
any ideas on what I can do? My problem is more than that but i will settle ti fix this one (I also have the original ipad which is not syncing either contacts nor calendar)
Any suggestion on how to have the push/fetch settting?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Also the calendars are the calendar which comes with the ipad, i am not using google calendar or contacts, just plain vanilla what came with the devices, i dont care about itunes sync/pictures/apps, just the calendar and contacts.
Thank you in advanced to anyone who can help.Also, I forgot to mention, I stopped the calendar in all devices and rebooted them. I then waited before starting the calendar to see if it would sync but with no success.
I do not know what else to try. I think the push/fetch settings are ok because the contacts sync well and fast. I am out of ideas as to what to do to get the built in calendar to sync.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. -
I have an IPad 2, fully updated to OS 6.1.3. I cannot sync from my computer it keeps saying waiting for items to copy. What do I need to do?
How long has it been like this? Depending on how much new content you downloaded from the last time that you synced, it can take a while - but a while would be like 10 minutes or so - unless it has been weeks since you last synced.
This same thing has happened to me on a few ocassions and I just cancel the sync, quit iTunes, restart my MacBook Pro and try again. I cancel the sync using the button at the top of the progress bar in the iTunes window. -
Perviously synced Typekit fonts are missing in document and I'm unable to sync them again
Hello,
I synced the files a while ago and they all show as synced in my typekit account, but in the actual Illustrator file they show up missing and when I am trying to sync the missing fonts I get an error that states that I should check in my desktop typekit menu. Where I did check, but it's been stuck with the syncing spinner in the middle for a while now.
I did restart everything. I logged out and logged back in....I don't know what else to try. Any sugjestions?
Oh and I did try syncing a new one to see if that would work and that didn't happen either.
Best, JezabelHi Jezabel,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Please try Solutions 5, 6, and 7 from this help page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html
If that doesn't solve the problem, you may also use the "Contact support" link on that page to speak to a support agent and debug the problem further.
Once the tab in your Creative Cloud application loads correctly again, the fonts should be available to all of your desktop programs.
Please give that a try, and let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

Will only sync a few songs and then says unable to sync
I have a very old ipod - no color, click wheel 20GB. Everytime I try to sync it gives me one of these 2 responses:
Attempting to copy to the disk "Kimberly's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
The iPod "Kimberly's iPod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.
Generally it is followed by another message saying that _______ song cannot sync.
I have tried resetting it to the factory and starting all over again but it still will not work. Any suggestions out there?Hi,
In my long experience this is an issue that Apple has never fixed since first introducing iTunes Match. I have had lots of music that has the same play issues as you describe in your initial post, but I've never seen them fixed.
I did identify a strategy that gets around the problem (sort of, because it is not always 100% successful).
I noticed the issues never appeared to affect songs I purchased in iTunes, only songs I'd ripped from CD, especially songs I ripped from CD years ago, when I ripped a lot of songs in mp3 format at 96kbps. It didn't affect all 96kbps mp3s, just some of them. I used rippers like Music Match Jukebox, etc. It was only later that I started use iTunes for ripping. I'm guessing there is an incomptibility between other mp3 rippers and iTunes, but that is just an educated guess.
My strategy:
I re-ripped (using iTunes) all my low butrate mp3s to Apple's AAC Encoder, with it set to Apple's iTunes Plus recording standard. This is the same as you get when you buy songs from iTunes. That was part 1.
Part 2 was to remove the old mp3 versions from iTunes and iTunes Match, and then have iTunes Match work its magic to put the AAC (m4a) versions in iCloud.
As I said, this strategy has largely worked, except I have noticed at least one song I'd re-recorded to AAC version that went silent half way through after I downloaded it to my iPhone from iCloud.
I do wish Apple would just 'fess up about how to get the best out of iTunes Match, or, just fix it so it works properly.
I live in hope, but ain't going to hold my breath anymore.
Good Luck -
Have, under the direction of apple, updated the software on my 4 month old ipad2. Since then the ipad appears to take on a mind of its own at some times, opening up programmes, playing my music, locking up, not allowing me to use other applications. At this momemt am tempted to return it to the supplier as it is still well within its warrenty! Any one got any suggestions!
Have you tried a reset to see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have a new iphone 4s and I am unable to sync it with itunes.
I have trouble syncing the brand new iphone 4s with itunes account.
When I connect the phone it brings the itune page up on the left showing the iphone device as iphone but the centre page it just a white page withe a box giving me two choices. which one to start phone as a new account or make a a back up from an ipad that has been connected previously that i dont want to back up from. I do wish to backup my contacts that are itunes. Can anyone advice please.If you don't want to restore your backup onto your new phone, choose the option that says to start phone as a new device (it shouldn't say new account)
From there, you can sync data from your computer to your device -
please answer it quickly
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
