ITunes 11: iPad 3 not syncing

I upgraded to iTunes 11 yesterday and now I can't get back my iPad 3 to sync. It is being recognized and shows up in iTunes, but when I click the "Sync" button, it starts syncing, backs up okay but also quits in the middle of "Determining which Apps to sync (Step 4/7)". There's no error message, it just stops.
This is happening over Wi-Fi and also when attached with an USB cable. Tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, rebooting my iMac, rebooting the iPad, resetting the iPad. I'm running Mountain Lion and the iPad is on the latest iOS.
My other 3 devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 5) are all being synced okay.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone got any tips?

Experiencing the same issue repeatedly with my iPhone 4S and iTunes 11, however, my first gen iPad syncs consistently without issue. I removed the app that was copying to the iPhone when iTunes crashed, and now it syncs w/o issue too.

Ipad not Syncing with iTunes

I am having increasing problems with getting my iPad to Sync with Itunes on my 17" MacBook Pro. Both Mac OS and iTunes up to date with latest software as is the iPad. The trouble started a couple of months ago with some apps failing to sync. I deleted them from the iPad and then it was ok for a while, however this has repeated itself with an increasing frequency.
Today, whenever I connect my iPad to Itunes it will not sync. It starts with the message "Waiting to Sync" then after a while briefly displays Cancelling Sync and then stops. If I try and move from the Summary tab in iTunes to the Apps tab I get the spinning ball of death and iTunes hangs until I either Force Quit or unplug the iPad.
Interestingly there is no problem when I connect my wifes iPad to my Macbook Pro. However I have the same problem when I try to connect to iTunes on her MacAir.
I have reset my iPad's settings. I have restarted my Mac and iPad numerous times. I have deleted all the iPad backup files on iTunes and done just about everything I can find with respect to things even remotely similar from the web or discussion boards. Logically I have to assume it is something on my iPad however everything else is working fine - or so it seems.
Anybody else out there with this or a similar problem or any suggestions???
Thanks in advance.

I want to start off by saying the latest update is the worst piece of software I have ever tried downloading onto my computer. After three unsuccesful updates directly from Itunes I downloaded it to file and then installed three times before it succesfully installed. At this point Itunes would freeze when trying to recognize my Ipad, Ive reinstalled twice more including individual installs of Quicktime and Itunes and NOTHING is making this worthless software work. I am not impressed at all Apple, as a matter of fact I'm tempted to NEVER buy another Apple product again because of how poor this latest update is. but whatever, some help would be nice.

Songs are showing up and playing fine in iTunes yet will not sync to my iPad it is a selection of songs by the same artist, all gone?

ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC

ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC.
I have tried a number of things such as:
Repairing the outlook.pst file with scan pst.exe. This did not work.
Uninstalling all apple software on the PC and then reinstalling it. This did not work.
Turning addins off and on in outlook. This did not work.
Changing outlook.pst files. This did not work.
Replacing iPhone content with content on PCM. This did not work.
Restoring the iPhone does not work.
Nothing works.
I have been working on this issue for a couple of days. It is driving me crazy. I am inches from formatting my hard drive.
Everything worked fine until the most recent iTunes update.

Same here. Spent about an hour trying various solutions to similar problems on other forums before discovering this one, which matches my symptoms exactly. iPad doesn't have this issue, only iPhone 4S.
My iTunes Match renews in two days. This is about the umpteenth disappointment with the service. I almost certainly won't be renewing now.

My itunes match will not sync properly

Mac User same thing
Hello there here is my problem. My itunes match will not sync properly. It shows a lot of songs over 100 with the icloud match status as "Waiting"
Here is what i have done
1. Reinstall the entire OS delete everything and start from scratch
2. Turn on and off itunes match.
3. Hold down the option key
4. Move my music out of the music folder clear everything out of my itunes and bing back my music.
5. Use backup copies of my music in case the music files had been corrupted.
6. Checked numerious mac community forms that report simular issues.
7. Tried another macbook pro that I have
8. My wifes account which has about 8000 songs did no have the issue. My account seems to have the issue sobeservices2. I beleive this to be account specific. My account has 11481 songs and about 100 to 100 show with the status of "waiting"
9. I get no error messages
10. I've tried multiple ISP - COMCAST - FIOS - I even tried multiple computers
11. Redid the entire os
12. My account has problems "*****s2" but my wife account does not
13. Replicated the issue on more then one computer it seems only has problems with my itunes account. Suck waiting to upload
and its not always the same songs sometimes it's different songs that it gets suck waiting to upload.
14. Removed the waiting songs and attempted again
15. Started with fresh iTunes had the server match a blank itunes folder to the point where it said "0 Songs Match" then re-added them
16. Called Apple Care and spoke with a Senior Advisor who told me he would have to escalate a ticket and he to thought I had done all the tsing possible and that it was up to the engineers to figure out a solution.
I have been working on this for about 4 weeks now. All my trouble shooting has pointed it to be an account specific issue.
Any advise from the community

Hi
I have had a similar set of issues. 8000 songs, 800 in waiting. All ripped from CD into Apple Lossless - mainly classical so most didn't match directly.
First I ripped all these 8000 songs for my father first on his laptop from his CD collection. Eventually got them all matched or uploaded to his Match account (except one) by the usual tricks people suggest (e.g. recoding as AIFF or MP3 etc, deleting, re-adding blah blah). Though of course I shouldn't really have to waste my time doing this. One song absolutely refused to upload. Tried everything - including buying a pristine downloadable version off the publisher's website. Still resolutely refuses to upload.
Anyway - main problem is now with my PC. I copied all these 8000 tracks over. Re-installed everything etc. 800 remain in "waiting" (even though they uploaded Ok on a different account). When I rip my own CDs even some common stuff (e.g. Bowie/Stones) gets uploaded instead or matched and often with one or two tracks stuck in 'waiting'.
If I then look at my IPad (with Match enabled), it will show these waiting tracks as if they were already downloaded to it (which of course they are not). If I try and play one of them it just skips over it.

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

They need to be registered under different Apple ID's. The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up. If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset. Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device. You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before. Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

Why will my ipad not sync with calendars on my imac?

I did find the info tab while trying to sync my calendars, but my iPhone5, iPhone 4S and iPad still won't sync to my MacBook Pro.
Are you using Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks?
There is no Info tab and you need to sync contacts & calendars via iCloud.

Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks? Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

ITunes Match will not sync songs in a playlist to iPhone

iTunes Match will not sync all songs in a playlist to my iPhone. All songs have iCloud status of matched, uploaded or purchased, and are 128k bitrate or higher. How can I get iTunes match to sync this playlist properly?

I rang applecare with this issue and the way it was resolved was as follows:
To make sure iCloud is up to date:
1. In iTunes on the computer select "Update iTunes Match" from the Store menu and wait until it finishes.
To refresh the data on the iPhone:
2. Power the iPhone down and back up again
3. Settings > iTunes & App Store > iTunes Match > Off
4. Launch the Music app to verify Match is off
5. Power the iPhone down and back up again
6. Settings > iTunes & App Store > iTunes Match > On
7. Launch the Music app and givit it time to update (probably best done when you have a Wifi connection).
Hope this helps

Same with me. It used to be that Books would sync with my iPhone, but it seems that since IOS 5 came out they don't sync any more. Everything else syncs fine through iCloud; iPhone 4s & IPad 2.

ITunes 11 will not sync my iPad 2: inflated "other"

Something odd has happened.
All of a sudden when I try to sync my iPad to iTunes on my Mac, iTunes thinks there is 21.82GB of "other" and 36.31Gb "free" on the iPad. This is totally wrong. See screen shot attached:
When I try to sync (as that might correct it) it briefly shows the "apps" being present and 26.6GB free but then reverts to only the "other" of 21.82Gb free. See screenshot taken during syncing below:
If I try to add photos to the iPad, iTunes loses connection during sync:
Yet, during all this time the iPad itself shows that it has apps, music, photos, movies and books with space left over.
In use the iPad is just fine, it's just that it wont sync to my Mac iTunes any more. Im pretty sure this is an iTunes issue not an iPad issue as it can sync just fine on my other computer's (PC) iTunes which reports "other" as only being 3.72Gb.
How can I fix this problem *without* a full restore of iPad which will force an upgrade to IOS 6.1.3 which will not support my Corporate applications?
All help appreciated.

I have now reset and restored my iPad but this did not resolve the problem.
I next erased all content and reset and restored my iPad and this did not solve the problem
I next synced it with another computer which did sync successfully, but of course my media was not present as this was erased by the sync.
I next attached the iPad back to my original computer, but this still reported the iPad as having a large other and was unable to sync.
I next reset, restored and upgraded the iPad to iOS 6.1.3
Once complete, iTunes still reported the iPad incorrectly and could not sync.
Finally I downloaded the full installer from apple.com/itunes and re-installed iTunes 11.0.2 from the full installer (rather than the softwrae update installed version that I had).
This appears to have resolved the sync issue and my iPad is currently syncing media.
Lesson learnt: re-install iTunes first before trying anything on the iPad if the iPad itself seems OK.
