My iPad air won't sync with my music in iTunes on my MacBook Pro

I have tried to sync my new iPad air music through iTunes with the music on my MacBook Pro using a direct cable.
A message box opens and says that this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items on this iPad. Select Store and authorize.
I go to store and authorize this computer with my AppleID and then a box opens and says the this computer is already authorized?
It just keeps going around in this circle.
Any ideas.
Thanks!

Seriously? There are various reasons why I don't use the Cloud, but I want to sync my calendars on my iPhone with my new MacBook Pro. So I've been setting up the new machine, and most things work, but I can't get the phone to sync calendars with the MacBook. The instructions (on the laptop) say to plug in the phone, and go to iTunes, select the device (the iPhone) and then click the Info tab. But there is no Info tab to click. I've searched and searched, and cannot find it. So, now I'm thinking, is this the answer to this problem that Apple hasn't alerted me to? ...or am I a complete moron for not being able to find it? The look in iTunes is different from what I'm used to looking at in my old machine (an older MacBook).
Music, iTunes U, and other things seem to sync properly. I haven't investigated yet to see whether my calendar is syncing up right.
I don't keep up on all the nomenclature: "Mavericks" refers to the new OS that came with my Macbook (10.9.1)?

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

New iPad Air won't sync with iTunes on Windows 8

Hello,
I have an iPad Air that will not sync with iTunes. That same machine however syncs with my original iPad and iPad 2 with no issues.
Only thing that happens when I connect the iPad Air to the PC is a tile/window pops up like it is looking for photos on the USB device?
I have tried disabling, uninstalling/reinstalling, updating the driver, all with no success. I even factory reset the iPad Air and didn't change the outcome.
I can tell you that the iPad Air is running the latest firmware, my iTunes is the latest version, and Windows 8.1 is up to date, as well as both other iDevices syncing error free.
Any insight anyone could provide on what I could be missing would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

ICal on iPad Air won't sync with Mac Pro

All I want to do is to sync the iCal on my iPad Air with my Mac Pro (both with the latest systems) WITHOUT using the cloud. Why doesn't the sync function really sync when I attach the iPad to the Mac Pro? The dialog says that it sync's, but it doesn't.

IPad Mini Won't Sync With Mac Mini (ios 8.1 OSX 10.6.8)

Problem : IPad Mini connects to iTunes OK, can be seen in iTunes and I can select which movies to sync to it etc. When I hit the "apply" button after making a change (ie deleting or adding a movie) the sync lasts just a second then the "sync" button remains greyed out, and I can't make them sync.

IPad Air won't charge with ipad made adapters but only with iPhone's

My ipad air won't charge with any ipad made adapters! but will charge with my iPhone adapter. Oh and I bought my charger and adapter for my iPhone (that I now use for my iPad Air) at a store that doesn't relate to the officials apple store for only 12 dollars sadly when I charge my iPad Air
TTo let you know, my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter

my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter
Since your iPad charges with the phone adapter, the iPad adapter (that is made by who knows) is the problem. You tried to save a few dollars and it did not work. Get a real Apple adapter and your problems will go away.

Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1. Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos." In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want. I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not. Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync. Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected. My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1. Please help - thank you!

My iPhone5 and iPad Air won't sync by USB with iTunes 11.1.4(62)

Since updating to iTunes 11.1.4(62) both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air do not sync. I am using an Apple USB cable plugged directly into my 27" late 2012 iMac. WIth the phone I get an -50 error message. With theiPad Air it gets up to syncing Apps, and then gets hung up. I have rebooted all of the devices and iTunes multiple times, and it still does not work. Any ideas? I see a lot of people are having syncing troubles with iTunes 11.1.4(62) on different devices too.

Here is an article about the -50 error:

It sounds like you have a firewall or virus protection software interfering with the process.

ICal won't sync with iPad, iCal won't sync with iPad

My iCal won't sync with my iPad. Anyone know why? The iPad takes on the iCal but the iCal won't take the iPad entries.

Hello Squeegeefrog,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
You mention that iCal (or Calendar on OS X Yosemite) won't sync with your iPad.
Are you using iCloud Calendar? If so, the advice and troubleshooting steps in these articles can help you sync the calendar on your Mac with your iPad using iCloud:

My iPad calendar won't sync with my desktop calendar - any suggestions?

When I write an appointment on my iPad2 calendar, it won't sync with my desktop? Any suggestions? I am on iCloud so when I write an appointment on my desktop it does go to my iPad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

HT1430 Ipad Air Won't Sync

My new Ipad air wont finish synching on PC. Iphone 4s synchs fine. Moving bar at top of of PC Itunes synch window keeps revolving at step 5 or 6, but won't go to the next step.. Left for hours with no effect.

I had the same problem. But I was able to fix it with a little luck.
If you have a backup of your iPad that is functional and has value, hold on to it.
First, restore/wipe your iPad so it is empty execpt for the stock software.
Begin to restore your iPad from the backup.
As it is working, click on the "Manage My Own Music" selection on the iPad sync window. Will ask if you are sure, say yes.
Un-check and Re-Check the top box in the music section of the sync pages.
Click Sync at the bottom and let it work.

IPad Air 2 not syncing with Calendar

I bought an iPad Air 2 a few days ago and have not been able to sync it up with my Calendar. I believe I checked that everything was lined up between my Macbook Pro and the Calendar but maybe I missed a step. If anyone has advice or a link to help me out, I would be grateful.
Thanks!

Ipad air calender not syncing with iphone 5s calender

I create an event on my iphone 5s, it shows up on icloud but will not sync with my ipad air?
I have searched for a solution with no success
help please

Howdy andyq180,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your iPad is not able to sync the iCloud calendar content from either iCloud.com or your other iOS device. To troubleshoot this, please follow the steps outlined below.
General troubleshooting
Check the System Status page to make sure there aren't any issues affecting iCloud Calendars.
Check your settings and preferences, because something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues that are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
Troubleshooting on iOS devices
First, confirm that you've turned on iCloud Calendar by tapping Settings > iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then check that Calendars is turned on.
If you are having trouble with the Calendar app on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and iCloud Calendar, try these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
Make sure you've updated to iOS 5 or later. If your issue isn't resolved, try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device. For instructions on setting up iOS for iCloud, see iCloud Setup.
Make sure your iOS device is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com in Safari. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in your Calendar application. Learn how to troubleshoot your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Calendar requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
If recent changes don't appear, try to refresh your calendars:
In iOS 7, open Calendar and tap the Calendars tab to load the Calendars list, then pull down on the list to refresh.
In iOS 6 or iOS 5, open Calendar and tap Calendars in the top-left corner to load the Calendars list. Then tap the Refresh button in the lower-left corner of the Calendars list window.
If you've recently made changes to your contacts' birthdays and are not seeing those changes reflected in your Birthdays Calendar, try to refresh your calendars. If you made the changes in the Contacts app on your Mac or at iCloud.com, it may take up to an hour for those changes to appear on your other devices.
If you add new events on your iOS device, but they do not update on iCloud.com or your other devices, confirm that you've added the event to an iCloud calendar:
In iOS 7, open Calendar and tap the event to view the Event Details. Tap the calendar name to confirm that you've saved the event to an iCloud calendar.
In iOS 6 or iOS 5, open Calendar and tap the event to view the Event Details. Tap Edit > Calendar to confirm that you've saved the event to an iCloud calendar.
You may want to verify your default calendar settings. If you want to create new events in an iCloud calendar, set that calendar to be your default calendar. You can modify Default Calendar settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Calendar.
If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Calendar app:
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Calendar preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
If you're using iOS 6 or iOS 5, quit and restart the Calendar app:
Press the Home button.
Double-click the Home button to open the multitasking menu.
Tap and hold the Calendar icon until it jiggles.
Tap the "X" to remove Calendar from the list.
Press the Home button to go back to your Home screen. Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
Restart your iOS device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then drag the slider. After the device turns off, turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Change the Sync settings for your calendars:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Under Calendars, tap Sync. If Sync is set to All Events, set it to a specific duration, such as Events 1 Month Back. If it's already set to a specific duration, set it to All Events.
Tap the Home button. Wait several minutes, then open Calendar and try to refresh your calendars again.
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn off Calendar. Choose to delete data only if your data exists at icloud.com/calendar or on one or more of your computers. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
Wait a few minutes before turning Calendar back on.

Take care,
