My iMac no longer syncs with my iPad, but it thinks it is.

I have playlists on my iMac that I want to sync to my iPad2.  The iMac lists the selected playlists on the 'On This iPad' tab but the playlists don't change in the iPad.  This is a new development.   Is there a setting that needs to be set to correct this?

Hello Nash_x91x,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing music to your iPhone 5.  I recommend resyncing the music to your iPhone for the issue you described. 
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and click "Apply."  Then check "Sync Music" and click "Apply" again.  If you do not want to sync your entire library, be sure to select "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" and select the content you want to sync:
If you sync manually, delete the music when your iPhone is selected in iTunes and drag new content to your iPhone.
You can find the syncing steps in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

    I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

    I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
    And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

  • HT1349 How do I go about installing software from a disc onto my ipad2? I have no external drive, but do have a PC with iTunes on it. Someone suggested I could load it into iTunes and then sync with the iPad, but this suggestion doesn't seem to work.

    How do I go about installing software from a disc (a language programme) onto my ipad2? Someone told me if I downloaded it to iTunes on my PC I could then sync it to the iPad but hav not been able to do that.

    Even if there was a convenient way, the software will not run on the pad.  Ios is a unique language, and only programs written for ios will run on the pad.   All of the programs are in the app store.  You might look there and see if the company that makes your sfotware also has an ios version, which would be in the store.

  • My outlook calendar is no longer syncing with the iPad calendar.  I have tried deleting and resetting up the account with no luck.

    Yesterday my outlook calender events no longer are showing up in my calendar on iPad.  It is still on the list when you click on Calendar and is checkmarked.  I deleted the account in settings and reset it up and still nothing.  I have so much stuff in there I am hoping I can figure this out and not have to enter it all.  Help!

    Read the User Tip that razmee209 linked for you in the post above. If nothing in there works, there May be something on your iPad that is corrupt. Backup the iPad, restore to factory settings, and them restore the backup. If that doesn't fix it, restore as new and download all of your purchased content again.

  • Set up of new iMac - need to sync existing iPhone & iPad but cannot

    I have set up a new iMac and cannot get any of my itunes backups to sync my iphone and ipad to the new mac. My iphone & ipad were all synced to my old windows laptop via itunes and everything synchronized - mail, calendar, music etc. Now I am setting up a new iMac and I signed up the itunes via iCloud. This has only set up anything purchased through itunes and about 90% of my music was not purchased through itunes so most of it is missing. So I have spoken to apple support on the phone and they guided me to transfer my old windows media to the new iMac using migration assistant. Unfortunately this wouldn't connect, so I am back to square one.
    So now I have manually moved all of my photos and music manually using an external hard drive - so that has taken over the largest amount of files to the new iMac but my issue still remains that nothing will sync to the new iMac. I am totally lost now and have no idea how to approach it.
    I tried to back up the iPad and iPhone to iCloud but even that won't happen - so basically everything is still syncing to my old windows laptop and nothing is syncing to my new iMac.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how to approach and where to start. I am based in Dubai and there is no apple store here so I can't even take it all in and just get it all sorted and I am not getting much help on the phone as the tech support is 9-5pm work days only and I am at work and not in front of the iMac to try any troubleshooting.
    Any suggestions are WELCOME!
    thanks,

    sign out of the itunes on the PC and then sign into the itunes on the ipad iphone and imac w/ the same apple id make sure that all 3 devices are authorized to the same apple id and then you should be able to start syncing the phone and pad to the imac.

  • TS3999 My iphone calendar does not sync with my iPad or my windows computer

    I do not know why my iPad syncs with my Windows 7 computer and my iPhone, my computer syncs with my iPad, but my iPhone will not sync with eitther of the other two from the iPhone. 
    In other words, if I add an event on the iPhone calendar, it will not appear on the other two devices.  Please help.  Thank you

    Are you trying to sync via iTunes? If so, note that since the release of Mavericks (OS X 10.9) syncing contacts and calendars to a Mac via iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is via iCloud. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • Ipad no longer Syncs with my Imac

    Since updating my iPad 1 to software version 5 it will no longer sync with my 18 month old Imac running OS X 10.6.8. It starts trying to sync but after a couple of minutes it tells me that the "Sync session failed to Start". Any ideas. 

    Syncing of data such as Photo Stream, Calendars and Contacts (as opposed to music) using iTunes has been removed in Mavericks (the framework, SyncServices, which enables this has been removed). You are expected to sync your data using iCloud.

  • Google contacts no longer syncing with iMac

    My Google Contacts no longer sync with my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. Several other threads on this, but no answers that work for me. I know Google no longer supports the exchange style sync and I've tried the CardDAV procedures with no success. Can someone give me procedures that will work for the Mac Address Book?
    Thanks

    Yes I am aware of that and already tried following their instructions. Doesn't work on my iMac. Pretty much every user that has had success with that procedure was using an iPhone or iPad. I'm thinking there is a difference with the Mac for some reason. When setting up the CardDAV with the iMac it states "Address Book couldn't discover the account setting for the CardDAV server "google.com". Make sure the user name and server address are correct, then click Create." I've tried my username is just my username and I've tried it as my full email address. I followed other threads suggesting to clicking SSL and trying a couple different port numbers, but still no success.

  • After my ipad WIFI upgraded to 5.0.1, I can no longer sync with my PC?

    Recently, the new wireless upgrade worked wonderfully.  My ipad is correctly upgraded as of 11/13/11.  For the life of me, I can't figure out why my ipad will no longer sync with Itunes.  I realize that iCloud enables me to push various backups wirelessly, but I still want to sync with my iTunes in order to add playlists and content that will not reside on the cloud.
    When I say that it will no longer sync with itunes, I mean that I cannot get either an iPad or iPod Touch to show as being connected or synced with any number of apple USB cables conntected to my PC and iTunes.  Hard resets, computer reboots...since my upgrade, I can no longer connect these devices.  Can anyone tell me why I can't sync?
    Thank you in advance

    Minor update:  I have multiple PC's in my office.  This same iPad and other apple devices properly work and sync with their connection to this other computer.  Both computers are running the 64bit iTunes and both have Windows 7 64bit OS running on both machines.  I tried deactivating firewalls and even deleted the iTunes with a fresh installation with no avail.
    Something is keeping my Apple mobile devices (iPods, iPads) from being recognized within iTunes.  However, they all are properly recognized by my PC.

  • How can I sync my various email accounts into an iCloud account.  Example.  I have an embarqmail.account.  How can I get it to sync with iPhone, iPad, iMac so that I don't have to read or review eMails on all 3 devices.  Thanks

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

    I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer.  It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?

  • HT1386 AFter installing Windows 8 on PC the PC no longer will sync with my ipad Shuffle. I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing but it did not help.

    After inc with my ipad Shuffle.nstalling WIndows 8 (I had to reformat C:), iTunes will no longer sync with my ipod shuffle.
    I had to deauthorize itunes before installing Windows 8, and then reauthorized it after reinstalling it. It syncs with my new Phone 5 but not with my old shuffle.
    It acts like it thinks this is a different computer. It says I have authorized tunes on 2 computers.
    Note: Computer sees shuffle as a disk and device but will not sync with it.

    You have to restore the iPod via iTunes and then sync. The iPod is seeing the reformatted computer as a new iTunes library and you can only sync with one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

  • Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

    Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

    Leopard (OS X 10.5) came out in October, 2007.  iOS 7 came out in October, 2013.
    You need an absolute minimum of OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to run iTunes 11 which can sync devices using iOS 7.
    In the U.S., you could purchase Snow Leopard here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    ... then update it to OS X 10.6.8.
    UPDATE -- Sorry!  I don't think you have an Intel processor Mac, and therefore cannot run Snow Leopard.  You need a new computer to sync using iOS 7.
