ITunes 11.0 - Synching MacBook to iPad

I just downloaded and installed iTunes 11.0. Now, I can no longer find the page in iTunes where I sync my iPad to my MacBook. I do not listen music or watch video or play games. But I use my Contacts and Calendar a lot and I need them to be synched. How can I do this now? It's very inconvenient to do it manually.

Download it from the site (not the App Store) http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And run it from your downloads folder "Offline" (disconnect from the Internet so the App store can't connect). Once it's done, reconnect then:
Quit App Store (if running)
Start iTunes
From "Store" menu, select "Authorize This Computer". You'll be prompted for your login credentials, then get a message that the computer is already authorized.
Start App Store
From "Store" menu, select "View My Account". You'll be prompted for your login credentials, then your account details will be displayed.
Go to "Updates" tab on App Store. This time it should work with no errors.

If I rent a movie in iTunes for my iPhone, Macbook or iPad do I need wifi to watch it?

If I rent a movie in iTunes for my iPhone, Macbook or iPad do I need wifi to watch it?

You should not need it as the film should be downloaded.

My AppleTV will not play anything over Air Play. Every other function works perfectly, and my Internet/router are working at top speed. I can watch HD Netflix and YouTube but nothing via my iTunes library on my MacBook or iPad. All software is updated.

Every other function works perfectly, and my Internet/router are working at top speed. I can watch HD Netflix and YouTube but nothing via my iTunes library on my MacBook or iPad. All software is updated. The AppleTV will recognize that Air Play is trying to do it's thing, but with music files it sounds like they're skipping and video files just load endlessly.

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

How to transfer itunes account to new macbook and ipad

I have an itunes account which is linked with my iphone.. I have recently gotten a new macbook and ipad. Is it possible to transfer from my current account to these new devices? I do not have my old macbook which the itunes account originated from, only my iphone. Do I have to create a new account? Everytime I go to backup my iphone it says it will wipe out what is on it!!! I have hundreds of songs, videos,apps etc etc etc.
Thanks

1) authorize iTunes on your new Mac for your iTunes store account (the one you used to purchase from the iTunes store)
2) connect your iPhone and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it (as well as you iPad).

I want to start using my iTunes Server to Synch my iPhone / iPad Need Help Moving iTunes...

Looking for some advice on a bit of an unusual situation. I have two Mac Minis. One, (Firefly) is my main machine and my iPhone and iPad both connect to today, I also have another Mini (iTunes_Server) that as the name implies is my iTunes Server for my house. I figure with WiFi synching I no longer need to have copies of all my music and movies and such on my main machine (Firefly) AND my server, I can simply synch my iPhone and iPad to my server from my home office or bedroom or anywhere in the house.
Ok my issue is how do I move my sync relationship over to my server without
A: having to wipe my phone and
B: having to migrate my entire iTune from the Firefly Mini to the Server thus screwing up what I have on the Server?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....
Thanks everybody.

Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.

I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
#1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
#2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
#3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
#4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
#5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.

1. I want to replace the Optical drive with a 2TB SATA. can I use this 2.5 inch?
I do not know if it is the same model number, but this one will work in your MBP:

2. I want to replace the HD with a 128GB SSD 840. When I replace these drives, will my OS still be in tact? I have never done this job before.
No. You will have to format the drives in Disk Utility>Erase to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then install the OSX by using the original install disks.
3.) I want to replace the ram sticks to max capacity. This is 2 2GB sticks, Correct?
No. An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
4.) Most difficult...
I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
Cannot help you there.
5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
You are not obligated to use iTunes.
6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
All MBPs have back lighted keyboards. Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.
Ciao.

TS4062 why are my music videos not synching to my ipad from itunes? only songs are synching

I can get my itunes songs to synch to my ipad but not my music videos. what am i doing wrong?

Hey there 2Chainz,
It sounds like youre being prompted that there is not enough space. I would use the following article to help resolve the issue named:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My folder of playlists is showing up on my phone, but is no longer in itunes! How can I get them back into itunes to synch with my ipad? Sharing on our home network is enabled.

I'm relieved the playlists (there are 11 in the folder) are still on my phone, but I can find them nowhere in itunes. Other playlists are still there- just that one folder has disappeared. I synched my new ipad to the library, and when I did, the playlist was not one of the options in itunes.
Background: I have enabled sharing on our home network, and I haven't moved the locations of itunes files or changed anything with my computer, the settings, or my itunes login (apple id).
My goal is to restore the playlists from my iphone to the itunes library on my laptop so I can then synch the playlists to my ipad.
Thank you for your help!

Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

My books are no longer in iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. Not on my iBooks, either. Had over 200 books in itunes library, all synced to my iPad 2. I deleted them as I read them, knowing I still had them in iTunes. I updated to iOS 7. No books! Where?

I deleted them from the iPad as I read them, knowing I still had them in iTunes. Then I updated to iOS 7. I still have the books I haven't deleted from my iPad, but all the other ones are nowhere to be found. No books in iTunes, no books in iBooks. Where are they? Also, going forward, if I want to add more books to my iPad, especially PDFs that are not available for purchase from the iBooks store, how do I do that? Help!

let's try working through this document. (you can skip the reinstall itunes step.)

HT5922 Volume control Itunes Shared Library from Macbook air played through iPad

Hi everyone,
I am using iPad Air to airplay through use of iTunes shared library from Macbook, to Play to my Apple TV using the Remote App from apple on the iPad.
I noticed that the swipe up control screen volume control does not affect the volume on my speakers of the Denon which is perfectly connected with apple tv. The only thing which controls the volume is the Denon volume control.
The iTunes volume control on the Macbook also do not work with Apple TV when airplaying
I assume this is because of the Denon Reciever, but would like to hear if others who are connecting directly without a multimedia amplifier and speakers are also unable to raise volume using itunes control or not?
Thans in advance for any feedback given.

When I try to play a song though it just starts skipping to the next song and then the next one. Unless there was a song local on the machine it just keeps skipping to the next and to the next.
I think this may be a clue to the problem. When you purchased the MBA did you restore any of your personal data from a prior backup? In particular, did you restore any prior data in the Music folder?
Or, did you simply launch iTunes and enable iTunes Match?

Need Help Badly - still unable to make iTunes synch apps with iPad

iTunes 10.1.2, MSWindows. iPad WiFi/3G 64Gb. Cannot get all apps on iTunes to transfer to iPad so cannot restore an app I had to delete on iPad. Number of apps on iTunes doesn't match in quantity. Also, specific apps that are deleted from iPad still show up in iTunes. I download to the iPad from AppStore and then synch them to iTunes. Have read ALL tech bulletins, searched this site, searched other sites, etc. Rest of synching appears to work fine. has been going on for over a month. Similar threads on this site don't appear to have solutions either.
Have tried to drag specific app icon in iTunes to Device iPad, no luck, has circle with slash. I do NOT use automatic synching so the iTunes deleting critical files issue during synch doesn't wipe the iPad. I synch manually by Device iPad right-clicking and synch. Transfer purchases says it works but the new purchases on the iPad don't show up in iTunes. I tried resetting synch history in preferences but synching again didn't act any different. In fact, that first synch didn't act like the warning said it would (will act as if synching for first time).
I am completely at a loss. I love the iPad but it is now physically impossible to keep it synchronized with iTunes.

I am going to be no help, except to say that I have similar issues. iTunes shows apps as loaded on my iPad but those apps are not on the iPad. Problem seems to involve a random selection of apps. I've synched, reset, and tried several ways to delete and reinstall but can't figure out a solution.. Strangely the same missing apps are working fine on my iPhone 4!
I had some trouble with videos not working, which has happened twice, but an iOS restore resolved that issue. I only add that in case the issues are related.

HT1386 A whole bunch of my songs on my MacBook iTunes haven't synched over to my iPhone? I have only selected certain albums to synch so I know it isn't a space issue. Can anybody suggest anything?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I can't sync my iPad 3 with iTunes using the new Macbook Air

When I connect my iPad 3 with its original cable to my new MacBook Air, the charge symbol in the iPad starts to blink and the iTunes keeps connecting and disconnecting the iPad (more than one time per second).
I can sync my old iPhone 3GS with the new Macbook Air and I can sync both iPhone and iPad with my old 2009 MacBook.
I found similar questions in the forum, but didn't find a solution. I can charge my iPad using the outlet, by I still need to backup and sync the iPad.
BTW, every software is updated.

Marcos Kutova

i have the same problem. I am noy able to connect the iPad3 to my new Macbook Air. It only cycles the charging icon and itunes states the phone has been disconnected.

Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8 My MacBook can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook

Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8
My MacBook is too old and can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook.
It all worked perfectly prior to updating the iPad 2 to OS7.
There were no cautions or warnings
Are there any work arounds?
Can I uninstall OS7 and go back to OS6?
Rediculous thing is I can connect to iTunes on an old PC of the same age

Thanks for your comments but this doesn't help my situation at all.
Again Apple fails to provide backward support for its own products.
I could go to the trouble of hacking the MacBook and running Mountain Lion and iTunes 11 that way
I think I will just move across to a PC as a result of this Apple strategy and I think I will just give up on Apples short lived product strategy.
A laptop that lasts five years indicates a long lived product strategy. Where they go wrong is to prevent backwards strategy when someone genuinely cannot live with ios7 like you. even the "unsupported" downgrade has now been blocked.
Don't go windows, you will not get five good years from a dell or an asus. If you can't buy Mountain Lion for it, get a new macbook, enjoy.
