My iPad 2 will not download/sync books, music, movies, and apps. HELP ME!

My BRAND NEW iPad 2 that I opened yesterday will not download 4 books and a Rosetta Stone Application. I have been waiting for two hours now, and have done everything I can think of. I disconnected it from the internet, I shut it down and restarted it, I tried downloading a small, free app to see if it would jump start the download process, but nothing has worked yet. I am extremely frustrated that this $850 tablet will not do something as basic as download an eBook on it's second day of use. Does anybody have any ideas???

Brand new? Heck, I'd call Apple.
However, if you prefer, we can walk you through some standard procedures. Start with a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

HT201272 Will not download purchased book from iBooks???

will not download purchased book from iBooks???

I Just figured this out. I had downloaded a bunch of books on my iPhone and had the greyed-out issue on my iPad with sync collections enabled. Had tried all the same fixes as indicated in this thread and others without success. What worked was restarting my iPad (this may not be a necessary stage) and searching for the titles that were stuck In the iBooks store. As expected each showed an 'in progress' download button. I was finally able to tap this to stop the (non-existent) download, which hadn't been possible within 'My Books' or the 'Purchased' tab on the store. When I tapped the button briefly jumped to 'Read' then changed to the standard iCloud download button for a previous purchase. Tapping this successfully initiated the download, which then synced into the right collection in my library.
Hope it works for you!

TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
What am I going to do?

The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Same problem for me.. Its on hold (waiting) the whole time!
How to solve this?

IPad will not download apps.

My iPad will not download apps. It asks for my password, I enter it, then the app appears on screen with "waiting." Then nothing more happens. I am able to download email and get on webpages without trouble. We have an airport wireless router hard wired to our cable modem. Have looked at all the suggestions on apple support page...any ideas?

Do you have any podcasts that could be stuck? Things downloading in the background that might have gotten paused?

TS3274 my ipad will not download any apps and if I press some apps I already have (ibooks or itunes) I get a blank screen

my ipad will not download any apps and if I press some apps I already have I just get a blank screen

Try and closing the app (app store in this case) and switch it back on and then download. If it still doesn't work, then give the IPad a rest and try again later.

My iPad will not download aps can anyone help please ?

Hi can anyone help, my iPad will not download aps ?
Just keeps saying unknown error ?

I have tried signing out and back in again, no joy. I have also reset the iPad as suggested. Desktop and 2netbooks are working fine on the wireless connection. Apps won't download, initially I was able to disconnect from wifi and reconnect and that would solve it but not anymore.
I am also getting an error message intermittently advising no Internet connection. This is all since the upgrade to 5.1.1 so it has messed with something.
From a google search looks like I am not alone either.

Ipad will not start up, keeps shutting down and trying to restart, computer will not recognize device to restore.

HT1420 How do i move all my purchases music,movie and apps to my new pc?

How do i move all my music,movie and apps to my new pc

Go through the below link to Redownload your Past iTunes Store Purchases ( In the link it says iTunes 11 for Mac, but it is same for Windows Computer as well)
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283
or you can also try this link to show your Purchases in your iTunes Library and the Stream those contents without Downloading if you have a Good Internet speed and want to save Computer's Disk space ( But you cannot play Music when you are not connected to Internet by following this step and not downloading the Songs from Cloud to your Computer)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
And if you do not have access to your Old computer then you will not be able to get the songs which were copied from CDs and downloaded from a different source other then iTunes Store. And also you will lose all your Playlist and other iTunes settings and will have to recreate your Playlist etc.

I updated my ipod on my computer to the ios 5 and it updated but all of the music, movies, and apps were cleared off. I cannot put any of it back on please help! :(

I updated my ipod on my computer to the ios 5.1.1 and it updated but all of the music, movies, and apps were cleared off. I cannot put any of it back on please help!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

Moving my itunes music, movies, and apps to my Macbook from my windows computer???

I'm starting to have issues with my HP Pavilion, Windows 7, g6t-2000 Notebook PC 64-bit...... and I don't want to take any risk of losing my music and videos because a majority of is third-party (TRUSTED) and I don't want to lose them......
