Is it normal for my ipad not to sync to my computer?

My ipad wont sync with the computer anymore. i have the latest itunes and ipad software and it just wont upload. this is the message i keep getting. ' one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not reccognise it'i have windows seven. and this has never been a problem ever.

You can look through this and try the troubleshooting steps in it.
iOS: Device not Recognized in iTunes for Windows
You can try this as well - Recovery Mode. This will restore the iPad if you want to go that route.
iOS: Unable to Update or Restore
It just seems so odd that this would just start happening on your iPad. You did say that this never happened before until recently - correct?
Is your iPad performing normally otherwise? Your apps are working, you can play music, connect to the internet with Safari....???

Hello, osbybass.
Thank you for the question. This alert can mean that iTunes is recognizing applications on the iPad purchased by another Apple ID. If anyone in your household has an Apple ID, try authorizing the computer with their Apple ID and attempt to sync. If you are still experiencing issues, go through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

"The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items"

Whenever I try to sync my iPod to iTunes, this error comes up:
"The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this iPod."
I have already tried every solution suggested here: iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I found the solution to this problem
the apple service helped me actually
the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem :
create a new account (as an administator recomended)
Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
install itunes
sign in
authorize
SYNC
it must sync normally
but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
REMEMBER the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
Thanks to Apple service
for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

HT1727 iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone

why is itunes saying "iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone"

I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

I go to sync my phone and it says,"The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone". When I go to authorize it says it's already authorized.

When I go to sync my phone and it says,"The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone".

I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

When I try to use my TWC App on my iPad2, the sound is about 15 seconds off from the picture. This only happening on my iPad, not my phone or my computer. TWC said it's an Apple issue. Is there a fix?

TS1702 I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history

I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history lost.
Tried following up with the developer's instruction. Didn't help. Developer suggested contacting Apple if their instruction didn't work. Tried the various methods recommended on the Apple site. Same result.

Telling is that you tried most of the things on the net doesn't tell us exactly what you did try, so we are all still left to guess .....
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.

The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.

Full message that pops up
"The iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
I am unable to sync my music, applications, movies, etc. to my iPod touch. The only way I am able to bypass the message that pops out when I try to sync (the one in the title) is by clicking "Apply" instead of "Sync". To do this, I make changes to Apps, Music, or Movies (...) and the buttons "Revert" and "Apply" will replace the button "Sync".
My problem is most likely not due to using many accounts because I only have one and it is the only one that I use. I do not share accounts with my family members. Still, I have tried everything here, nothing has worked for me. Since I don't often listen to Podcasts, I have deleted them from my iPod. I have no idea why I am unable to sync and no one seems to have the same problem as me.
Thank you for your help in advance.

The iPad is fine. But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad. You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.
