ITunes/iPad sync problem?

I've been syncing my ipad fine over the last few months, at least 2 or 3 times week, but today iTunes has suddenly decided that it doesn't want to. It says that I need to uninstall iTunes, then install the 64-bit version.. which is what this version should be anyway..
I've installed nothing new on my PC (Windows 7) and i've even tried turning it off and on again.
Anyone had this problem?

Sorry. I didn't realzie that the "other" came back as well. That is an indication that you are syncing something corrupt. Sometimes the only way to get rid of that huge "Other" content is to restore as new and start all over again....sometimes that is, not always, but sometimes, that's what you have to do.
Obviously something is getting corrupted so unless you can pin down for sure what it is, I recommend restoring as new, and start adding things back to the iPad in small increments and see how it goes. That includes adding music back in small bits as well.

    Hello.  Just got the new itunes system and tried syncing photos from my computer to my Ipad 2.  This process has always been a little slow due to the amount of pictures I sync,  however my itunes now won't go past th stage 5, when it analyzes my photo library, sometimes not even getting to that point saying that I don't have enough memory even when I have 20Gigs avalible and am only moving 100mb woth of photos.  Anyone got an answer?

  • IPad syncing problem - HELP!

    iPad sync problem - HELP!  I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)"  and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad.  This just started today.  I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help.  Any ideas??? 
    I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it...  should I? 
    thank you!

  • When is Apple going to fix the iTunes 11 syncing problem!!!!

    After troubleshooting the iTune 11 upgrade seems to cause syncing problems for everyone. I've tried everything and my ipod will no longer sync. Help! When is Apple going to apply a fix for this?????

    My sync problem has been going on since I updated to IOS 8. I have had two telephone help calls and one Genius Bar visit. I am no further forward.
    MY iPhone and iPad will randomly fill to capacity with OTHER files requiring a complete reboot. I have disabled iCloud drive and tried reorganising and deleting files from my iTunes library. All of my devices worked almost perfectly prior to this upgrade. I now dread syncing either of my devices to see what latest iTunes problem is now present.
    I Have one simple question which no one at Apple has answered. When iTunes finds a file it doesn't like or will not sync why does it not flag it up with the reason for the problem. iTunes has done this for many years with incompatible files and missing album art work. If iTunes could only tell us why it is continually waiting for sync to start or give us a reason for our iOS device suddenly filling to capacity with OTHER files at least we would be able to do our own diagnosis and repairs. Apple need to sort out this issue soon. I'm losing patience and faith in Apple products. So no iPhone 6 upgrade for me till this gets properly sorted.

  • New iTunes, same sync problems with Vista

    Hi
    I got really excited when I saw in the fixes for the latest iTunes 8.1 for Windows that they had fixed sync problems with iPhones. They haven't!
    On Vista Ultimate the sync has always been a problem, with either OutlookSyncClient or AppleMobileSync (or both) frequently crashing. With the previous couple of versions of iTunes, in my case, it has happened every third or fourth sync. Now with the new version it is almost every sync. It took me five disconnect and reconnect attempts and a couple of reboots to succcessfully sync this morning.
    I've tried every fix I can find on line. I read that the Outlook sync problem was caused by an incompatibility with pst files that were not unicode. Oddly, I wasn't supposed to be able to sync with an old pst at all, but it did work erratically. Converting my pst to unicode didn't make any difference.
    With the AppleMobileSync problem, I read that completely removing all Apple software in a particular order, restarting each time between removals, then clean reinstalling, should solve the problem. It didn't.
    Now the problem is even worse and I'm at my wits end on it. Come on Apple, get a grip!
    If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really grateful!

  • HT203082 Ipad sync problem

    Sync wants to delete my album unless the pictures are taken with the ipad.  This is unacceptable.  Can I work around that?

    If you synced those photos from your computer to your iPad, it can only keep one folder at a time synced. So, say you sync 'Disneyland' folder. Then you go to the Grand Canyon later and want to also put those photos on there. You can't choose Grand Canyon folder to sync and keep Disneyland folder. Grand Canyon will override Disneyland and delete it.
    If you want to keep both sets of photos, on your computer you'd need to create a 'vacation photos' folder (or something like that, the names are just for examples) and put both the Grand Canyon and Disneyland into that Vacation folder and sync those...although the catch there is the iPad doesn't keep the folder structure so it'd mesh both sets of photos into a single folder.
    Another way to avoid this, don't use iTunes to sync photos. Upload them to something like Dropbox or some other service, then save them from there onto your iPad. That way you keep the ability to delete the photos if needed and you don't have them tied to a sync. There are also various photo syncing apps out there although I haven't used any of them.

  • ITunes & Device Syncing Problems FREEZING

    My mom updated my version of iTunes while I was away from home for a week and ever since I have been unable to use it for anything.
    I can't run any other programs if iTunes is open because CPU usage spikes to maximum.
    I can't sync my iPod Touch 4G OR update its iOS software because it freezes in both instances part way through backing up the device.
    I have even tried to just let it finish syncing overnight, thinking maybe it would eventually make it, when I woke up this morning it was still at the same level of 'backing up' as when I went to bed.
    I've never had problems with my iTunes or iPod like this. Help?!

    Hey there,
    Well I think the get a Mac ads finally paid off...
    Plug your iPhone into your computer and click on the Photos tab that comes up. Make the checkbox is ticked so iTunes actually syncs your photos. I recommend you make a new folder called "Photos" or whatever and place all the photos you want to be in your iPhone in that folder. Then in the Photos tab in iTunes, select that "Photos" folder to be imported into your iPhone. Finnaly press the "Apply" button in the bottom right and then press the "Sync" button. This should clear your problems.

  • Iphone/Ipad Syncing Problems

    When I plug my iphone into the computer I keep getting the following message."Itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. Reconnect or try again later." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to correct it?

    I have done this but the probelm persists. The issue only seems to be with my Iphone 4 as my ipad syncs fine.
    This article mentioned outlook which I don't use and unplugging all my USb devices. I can't do that as all my itunes data is on a portable HD connected to the computer via USB.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Itunes 9 Syncing problem

    Hi i am getting this message...
    'iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone 3Gs because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?
    Click on Yes.....
    Error Message- iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services, reconnect or try again later...'
    Can anyone help, this was working fine before i updated to 3.1 and iTunes 9...
    Thanks and regards

    I broke down and called Apple support. Eventually I got to a second level support person and after trying a few things which didn't help. She said I needed to uninstall iTunes and re-install. Actually you have to uninstall iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support & Apple Application update. And that's the order she had me do them and she said it did matter.
    I rebooted. Downloaded a new iTunes & re-installed. Eventually it all worked.
    So far no problems. I don't know what went wrong but the uninstall & reinstall answer was worthy of Microsoft at it's best.
    If you try it I hope it works for you as well.

  • IPad Sync problem with new iTunes 12.1.0.50

    I just installed iTunes 12.1.0.50 and for the first time I can't sync with my iPad 1 (IOS 5.1.1) which worked for years prior to this iTunes update.  Every time i connect my device through USB cable my iTunes stops working with a message it cannot not connect and can't find location for device and I have to force quit the application. I have reset my iPad, I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and tried multiple times to get this message to disappear and sync my iPad device like I use to. It looks like the sync works with my iPhone 6.
    Does anyone know a fix or having the same problem?

  • Bt hub 3, itunes, iphone, ipad syncing problems - not seen

    Im using the new infinity BT hub 3 and there are now issues with syncing the iphone, ipad and itunes.  iTunes does not see them as devices consistantly and when it does (looking for "device"), it says it is not available to sync (not found on the network) and promply they disappear from the upper right hand corner.  BT say it's an itunes issue.
    I have tried changing from WPA to WEP but this doesn't work, nor does plugging the computer into the ethernet. 
    The devices show as being on the network by the router, but are not available to sync in itunes
    What do we think people? Any ideas to fix this?

    As a fallback you could try using the usb cable rather than wifi.
    However to you main problem with the wifi. I to have BT infinity and not only was I having issues with not seeing the devices but also a slow speed of streaming to Apple TV3.
    Turns out my issue was interference on the wifi from other wifi networks on the same channel.
    Mountain Lion has a new wifi utility details here
    http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/31/use-mountain-lions-new-wi-fi-scan-utility-to-optim ize-your-home-wireless-network/
    Found thayt there seemed to be 3 or 4 houses on channel 6, Changed mine to channel 11, via the BT hub admin page. When everyting settled down again plugged in my devices via USB made sure they were wifi sync enabled and now all works as it should.
    If you do not run mountain lion then look for istumbler on google, does the same job and its free
