Ipad2 will not do Wi-Fi Synch with Imac

Hello
I am running an IPad2 using 5.0.1 and have an Imac running OSX 10.6.8 with Itunes 10.5.1. I can not get the Ipad2 to do a ITunes Wi-Fi Synch. The "Synch Now" button is always grayed out. The Ipad2 is on my home network C11P2. The Imac is connected via an ethernet cat 5 cable to the router, and connected via WiFi to C11P2 also.
What am i doing wrong?
Regards
Ted

I'm giving this a try to see if it fixes it: On my Mac under iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices, the box was checked for "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." I'm hoping this fixes the problem.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen. have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in. Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

I had done all of that to no avail. I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again. I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped. Everything is good to go again. thanks for your reply

HT1212 My ipad2 (2 years old) will not turn on at all, with home key, or power on key, or both at same time. I just updated to 7.0.4 and there is a passcode, but my screen is blank and I can't turn it on.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

HT1386 My IPad2 will not sync with my iMac anymore, keeps giving me an error of failure to start sync after it has tried for 2-3 minutes

Cenzon-
Are you syncing over WiFi or over the USB cable? Try doing the opposite.
Also try a different USB port on the iMac.

New iPad2 will not sync with iTunes 9.2.1.

Have tried every thing but it will not sync. I'm running iMac 10.4.11 and cannot run the latest iTunes because it requires 10.5 to run. Have I purchased something which I cannot use.

I don't know how easy it is to upgrade Macs as I've only had mine a short time (so probably know more than me), hopefully somebody on here will have suggestions for the best way to do so - so I don't know whether you need this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC680Z/A?n=osx&fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTk0MjIyNz c&s=topSellers, or whether you can get away with this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573Z/A?n=osx&fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTc1MTEzNj Y&s=topSellers (one of the questions/answers below it implies that it's ok)

My IPad2 will not connect to the internet, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." My AirPort utility shows that I am connected. What could be the problem?

My iPad2 will not connect to the internet, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I've run the AirPort utility and it shows that I'm connected to my Wi-Fi. The connection works with both my iMac and iPhone. I'm concerned that the problem is with hardware rather than software.

Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

hmm, well I would say that raises the possibility of an issue with your ipad, and lessens one with your router.
What version iOS are you using? Update
Then Its time to try a restore.

I changed my exchange password and my ipad2 will not accept it.

I changed my exchange password and my ipad2 will not accept it. The iphone 4 did accept the new passwork

some exchange policies require a non proxy or known and secured connection to the exchange server to propagate policy/pw sync. your iphone may have been registered to the exchange server via phone number. connect your ipad to the network at work and sync, or if you have cdma/umts sync over that protocol after you have registered that device with exchange.
you should be able to manually add your device to your profile via outlook webmail under options and mobile devices.

HT1725 Download didn't download to my iPhone. I tried again. Got message that it will download next time I synch with iTunes. It doesn't.

Docusign ink failed to download onto my iPhone. I tried again. got message that it will download next time I synch with iTunes. It doesn't. After trying different things, each time I tried to download it + checked the box, it unchecks itself during sync. Not sure what can be wrong. A partial download maybe, but reporting a problem brought me here. 'Elp!

Aha! Just found out. It needs IOS 5! Duh.

After downloading ISO8 my USB Ports on my IMAC arnt working and now my iPad2 will not charge?

after downloading ISO8 my USB Ports on my IMAC arnt working and now my iPad2 will not charge? even tried to use 240v charger? both my iMac and iPad have been updated, my mini iPad is working on old iso7 so that won't be updated in a hurry, any help would be great.

First is the most USB ports do not provide enough power to charge an iPad. Do not try and charge your iPad from such USB ports.
There is no 240v charger. There is one charger that will work with US voltages and European voltages. If your iPad is not charger with the charger, make certain that is an iPad charger, not an iPhone charger. If the charger does not work try swapping the cable as the cable may be bad. If that does not work try another charger. All simple steps that should be attempted before pinning the problem on IOS 8.

My ipad2 will not charge or start

what do i do, my ipad2 will not charge or start?

First make sure that you are using the charger that came with the iPad and have plugged that into a wall outlet. Keep in mind that if the battery is completely drained it make take up to an hour on the charger before the iPad responds. So wait one hour then, while the iPad is still plugged in, reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
If the iPad does not start consider these troubleshooting steps.
1. Bad outlet. Make sure the outlet is providing power.
2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
3. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
4. Dirt, fuzz, or lint in the connection ports. Check and casually clean if necessary.
5. Software failure. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

This is compatible with Mac? Especially Snow Leopard (if that is what you'e running)?
Have you considered posting your question in their forums?
Here is some information re. the jar file:
