Ipad2 no longer syncs  or charges with Imac

My Ipad2 is not activiating Itunes when I connect it to my imac.  It also won't charge.  It has been working fine. I have tried 2 different cords with the same result.  The cords WILL sync my iphone 4s.  The ipad will charge off a wall charger but I cant sync. any suggestions?

How are you plugging it into your iMac? the iPad doesn't like hubs anymore, it likes to be plugged directly into the box.
Chances are it won't charge off the iMac. Most USB hubs don't put out enough power to fully charge an iPad, They will trickle charge when you're not using them when plugged in, but will mostly say 'not charging' unless you have a newer computer with higher powered USB ports.

    Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
    When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

  • Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars.  I am not running exchange server.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars?  I am not running exchange server.

    hello,
    BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
    you have several ways, from best to less good :
    1)
    if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
    2)
    if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
    3)
    if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
    4)
    use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

  • I purchased Keynote for my iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad?

    I purchased Keynote for iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad too?

    I think that only files are synced, and not applications.
    On your iPad, go into app store and download keynote. 
    It is possible that you have to buy it again though, once for the desktop, once for ios devices. 
    please let me know if this helped. and if it's incorrect, so i can change it if so.
    Thanks,
    Finally iMac!

  • My iPhone 4 no longer syncs my calendars with Outlook...?

    Hi.  I've always synced my Outlook with my iPhone and haven't had any issues.  Now, I've noticed that my Oulook Calendar doesn't have the same appointments my iPhone does.  For example, I have many appointments this month on my iPhone, but they don't appear on my Outlook Calendar when I sync.  However, strangly enough, if I add an appointment to my phone or to my Outlook Calendar, now, and sync, it will copy over.  But the ones that are there in my phone now are not in Outlook.
    The only thing I think I've changed is upgrading to iOS5 and I have been syncing wirelessly, but my other PIM info seems to be syncing. 
    Any suggestions?

    Your cynicism is spot-on. I have tried everything that you tried and more.  My contacts and notes do not sync either, in addition to my calendar.  But, music, photos and apps do sync.  After spending over two hours with Microsoft I am convinced this is a bug in the iTunes sync software, but Apple does not seem to understand that if they create syncing software that is supposed to connect between two different devices, that they either need to own the handshake or be able to say why the sync can't make the handshake.  They just keep saying, "It's an Outlook problem."  Agree with you about Androids and Blackberrys (although I so loved my Blackberry, I am still heartbroken to have had to give it up).  I believe that the only solution is now going to be some form of cloud sync - either to use the iCloud Control Panel for Outlook sync, or to create a Google calendar and sync through their cloud, or to get on MS Exchange through MS Office 365.  Or hope that iTunes decides to acknowledge the problem and release a bugfix in iTunes.  I also heard that they will not support Office 2010 iTunes syncing at all.  I doubt this because I know people who are doing it. Anyway, sorry for long post, appreciate the help.

  • Can no longer sync my BB with my Outlook email..?

    Thank you,

    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

  • After updating my Safari I can no longer sync my ipad with my imac. What do I do to get it to work again?c

    I updated my Safari to be able to get into the itunes store again and now I can't sync my ipad to my imac anymore.  What do I do to get it synced again?

    Really?  Safari is not updated as part of any standalone process.  Do you mean Safari on your iMac?  Then did you really update OS X?
    Sorry, it's not at all clear what you really did.  You should provide us with version numbers of:
    OS X
    iOS
    iPad model number
    iTunes

  • IPod can no longer sync or charge, bad pin connectors?

    I've got an iPod touch thats a year old now that suddenly no longer will charge/sync to anything. I'm thinking maybe the pins are bad?
    I've had difficulty inserting chargers into it since I got it, I've been careful to not handle it too roughly but it does take a strong push to get the charger in there. Of all the ipods I've had (and i had the first gen iPod touch before this too) over the years, never had that problem.
    Before I get a bunch of "just reset it" kinds of replies, it is functioning properly other then that. Last night I did have it hooked up and synced to my Mac so it fully charged, but just now I went to connect it and now it refuses to connect at all. I've tried 2 cords, and with the same cords I plugged my iPhone in as well and it all worked fine, so it's definitely not my other hardware. iPod software is also up to date as well.
    I haven't had a real issue of it not syncing with my computer before today, but in the past month it's had issues staying properly synced to my car radio (play it through USB). It would sometimes drop off or glitch up and not want to work correctly, though in the past week it started working more normally again.
    I listen to my ipod as much as humanly possibly, so I'm wondering if this something I can take to the Apple Store and see if its fixable or replaceable. I've been looking for a great excuse to get the new red ipod touch but I've been unemployed since August.. Of course it has to break before I get a new job
    Has anyone else had the issue of having difficulty getting the sync cords into their ipod touches/problems where the pins just die?
    EDIT: Nevermind. My imac suddenly wont sync my iphone either but I plugged the ipod into the iphone charger and it synced immediately. It's something on my computer's end.

    *all the songs are there, but there are shown in light grey and not able to be high lighted.*
    *I'm also not able to play from my ipod list, only from my itunes??*
    Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos" as per the link above. The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes
    *I have seen a friend plug his ipod into some one elses computer and the same thing happened, it showed all the content but he was not able to access it, or modify it.*
    Again that's most likely because the iPod was set to auto-sync with his home library. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    *Before I backed up my itunes libary from my external hard drive, and itunes was empty, it would not allow itunes to be copyied from my ipod?*
    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod.

  • 3rd generation ipod touch that will no longer sync but charges

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch.  It was syncing to my itunes just fine and then one day it stopped syncing.  It shows that its charging but never syncs anything.  When i click to do a manual sync, it goes through the process but does not transfer any music.  Any suggestions.  I am running windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference with the newest version of itunes. 

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • IPod touch does not sync or charge with specific Mac

    Hello,
    I've been having trouble connecting my iPod touch to an iMac4,1 1.83GHz Core Duo running Mac OS X 10.6.
    The Mac in question will happily sync with an older iPod nano (back when the screens were black and white), but not my iPod touch which is the latest gen 32gb.
    The iPod touch is able to sync with other iMacs at my uni, as well as the PC I have at home.
    I have taken the following steps to alleviate the problem but nothing has helped:
    a) re-installed itunes
    b) re-installed apple mobile device
    c) checked for any updates.
    Finally, if I start the iPod touch in recovery mode the iMac will detect it and attempt to restore it, but will fail with an error 1611.
    Any help will be very appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions,
