Itunes 10.6.0.40 ipad will not back up to computer - only to icloud

I just updated iTunes to 10.6.0.40, and now it will no longer back up to my computer - only to iCloud.
Up until now, I've always backed up my iPad2 to BOTH the iCloud and to my computer.
Now - I can sync to iCloud successfully, but when I then pick the "Back Up To My Computer" radio button, the SYNC button changes to two buttons, REVERT or APPLY.
Pushing EITHER button has the instant effect of MOVING the selection from "Back Up To My Computer" BACK to "Back Up To iCloud".
No matter what I do, I can't keep the radio button selected for "Back Up To My Computer" - every action I take, anything I try - it "bounces" back to "Back Up To iCloud".
I actually want to back up to my computer first, and use iCloud only as a secondary backup, but now I CANNOT back up to the computer AT ALL.
I am amazed that no one seems to have reported this issue yet, but it actually seems like I am the first, from what I can tell.
Please advise - nothing disturbed the install, it ran fine, iTunes opened successfully, the music part of it seems fine - but the ipad backup is not working correctly anymore.
In the previous version, I could switch back and forth between the two, backup to iCloud, then switch over, and back up to my computer, then switch back and back up to iCloud again - no problem. 
THANKS!
Dave

I am having the same problem

  • Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now iPad will not back up

    I upgraded to itunes 10.5 so I could install iOS5 on my iPad.  The upgrade to iTunes 10.5 went fine but now itunes doesn't recognize my iPad and getting lots of different error messages on why it can't back up......i've tried to reboot my pc which runs XP, hard boot of iPad, started the Mobile Service Device and nothing seems to fix the problem.   Anybody have this experience and able to fix?   I notice I have several apps to update on my iPad as well and it won't do so as it says they are not compatible.   Not sure if this is related.   

    Some of us have our enture itunes library backed up on CD/DVD - what a waste of time and effort as now presumably you can't use these discs to restore itunes on a new computer! WHY NOT APPLE?
    Very unimpressed with itunes 10.5/ios5 - wifi tracking apps have been removed from the store (and won't function in ios5), it's impossible to sync photos (I have spent a whole day trying to sync my iphone 3GS with itines 10.5) to no avail and now, no CD backup facility.
    I have never had problems with apple before - I was thinking of upgrading my whole system from PC to Mac but now I am doubtful - if this is typical of apple software, I will stay with windows!

  • I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone.  Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one?  What should I do?  I a, afraid I might lose everything messing with

    I see.  If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone.  The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep.  I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
    If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room.  In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this.  To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

  • My ipad will not charge on my computer?

    my ipad will not charge on my computer?

    Any mac made within the last 5 years should allow the ipad to have the lightening icon on the display (meaning charging at 10w)  If it says "Not Charging" is most likely is, but at 5w f power.  Would take a long time to charge it up.
    It seems older PC laptops only charge at 5w, newer ones i think allow for 10w charging

  • My iPad will not back up?

    My iPad will not back up.  I can restore but will lose a lot of data.  Is there anyway in which you can force a back-up?

  • HT4097 My ipad will not connect to my computer throught the usb nor will it start?

    My ipad will not connect to my computer throught the usb nor will it start

    Do you mean that the iPad won't switch on ? If you do, then assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Or do you mean something else ?

  • Ipad will not upload photos to computer

    Ipad 2 will not upload photos to computer.  I  recently installed windows 7 . This ipad 2 is a brand new replacement I received because the first one quit working. This was the first time I tryed to sync this particular ipad to this computer. I  had success getting it to update apps.

    You do not sync photos from the iPad to your computer. You import them. This has nothing to do with using iTunes at all.

  • My iPad will not back up on the cloud or on my PC or on my brand new iMac

    IS there any fix for an iPad 2 that will not back up. I have tried the cloud back up and on the pc I originally paired with the iPad. I just bought a new iMac and it will not sync on it even though I went I went through the authorizing process. As a result of not backing up I cannot upgrade to IOS 6

    When trying to sync with iMac I got the following: attempting to copy to disk IMacintosh HD failed. Unknown error (oXe8004002)
    When trying to back up on the cloud, the back up time bar went to about 3/4 of the way to finishing and stopped. The message said that it could not be backed up.
    When I previously tried to download IOS 6 using the PC, I had originally synced with the iPad, it looked like it loaded the IOS6, but crashed during the back up phase.
    When I go to iCloud.com, it asked me to set up the devise, but when I go to settings it shows my account number and the list of mail, calendar, etc. that is synced

  • TS3992 my ipad will not back up manually , what do i need to do

    i have storage but ipad will not complete the back up

    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

  • Our original iTunes account is on a computer with Windows Xp.  My iPad will not sync to that computer.  Is ther any way I can access that iTunes library of music on my iPad2?

    My original iTunes account is on a computer operating a Windows Xp system. My iPad2 cannot access that music library. Is there any way the iTunes app on my iPad can access my iTunes music library without using that computer?  I have tried downloading the iTunes 10.6 to the computer, but it won't complete the download.

    You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
    Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
    You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

  • My iphone 4 will not back up calendar events to the icloud!

    Since I installed Mountain Lion and subsequently activated iCloud for the first time I have been having a few issues with Calendars.
    First issues was all the doubled up events which I eventually sorted out by turning the iCloud settings on and off and then merging for my Macbook and iPhone 4. Since then any Calendar events that I have entered on my Macbook have been backing up to the iCloud with no issues and have been pushing to my iPhone as well. Where the problem comes in is when I enter an event on my iPhone calendar it does not back up to the iCloud and therefore does not come up on my Macbook calendar either. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
