My iPad doesn't sync with my iMac

My iPad doesn't show up in iTunes when connected to my iMac and I can't sync.  I also have iCloud hooked up on both with all the right boxes checked.

What version of itunes are you using?

  • Exchange calendar from iPad doesn't sync with iCal

    Hi there, I hope this is the right community to post my problem....
    OK, I'm using an iPad 3 (iOS 5.1) which syncs rather nice with the Exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar) of my company.
    But if I try to sync the Exchange calendar from the iPad via iTunes with my Mac at home (24'' iMac DualCore 2006, OS10.6.8) the Exchange calendar won't show up in iCal. Every other calendar I created for test showed up just fine...but not the one I sync'd with my Exchange.
    Any idea how I get this to work ?

    Syncing your Exchange calendar on your Mac through your iPad isn't the best approach.  What you should do instead is sync your Mac with Exchange directly.  In other words, treat the iPad--Exchange sync and the Mac--Exchange sync  independently.  This is what I do, and it works great on my Mac.
    Your iPad--Exchange setup is working fine, so leave that alone.  Turning then to the Mac-Exchange setup, I'm not in front of my Mac at the moment, but basically to set up Exchange on your Mac, go into the email preferences and select new account.  Configure it as an Exchange account and enter the relevant information.  You will need to know the "EWS" (Exchange Web Service) address... it is usually something like "outlook.companyname.com" and your regular login info.  For me, it was the same web address as if I wanted to access my email from a webpage using the MS Outlook Web Access feature.  Your IT folks can help with this if necessary.
    Once you set this up, you can also sync calendars, reminders, and contacts onto your Mac too.  And the best part is that this will sync with your iPad!

  • 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.

  • IPad won't sync with old iMac with new hard drive.

    The new drive recognizes the iMac, and the photos on the iPad were successfully imported into iPhoto, but 2 home videos on the iMac will not transfer. I have tried to manually drag and drop, different cords and ports, over wi-fi, etc... The Summary box says the iPad has never backed up to this computer, but when I try to do that, it tries and then stops with no error message. The Movies tab has the two videos I want to transfer, but the sync button is gray. I have hard rebooted the iPad and restarted the iMac. Also deauthorized and reauthorized the iMac. I suspect that somehow the iPad is not recognizing the new hard drive. Is that possible? Any suggestions? Thank you for your help!

    I don't mean the latest version of iOS.  I mean the latest version of iTunes on your Mac.

  • My contacts and calenders on my IPAD not syncing with my IMAC

    My contacts, mail and calenders on my IPAD are not syncing with my IMAC properly.  My IPhone seems to sync with IPAD okay.
    Also, on my IPhone I have subfolders for a second email account, but on my IPAD and IMAC I can only access subfolders from one email account.
    Please help

    For Mail in order to have subfolders the email account must be an IMAP account. Check on the iPad in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > the email account in question to make sure the correct account type is selected.
    If your ad is not syncing your Contacts and Calendars to the other devices go to Settings and make sure iCloud is on and you're signed in to the same iCloud account as on your other devices. Then make sure that Contacts and Calendar syncing is turned on.

  • I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad.  Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not?  (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
    There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

  • I have Outlook installed on my MacBook Air and it doesn't sync with my Ipad mini or my iPhone 4S.

    I have Outlook installed on my MacBook Air and it doesn't sync with my iPad mini or iPhone 4S when I delete a message. However, when I delete a message on either the iPad mini or iPhone, the message deletes on the MacBook Air.

    Ok, I feel stupid.  I just had to adjust the resolution and it's fine.  Sorry to bother everyone!

  • IPad doesn't sync all photos + earlier iPhoto versions work with iPad

    1. I have my iPad set to sync with iPhoto, but the iPad doesn't have all of the photos that are in iPhoto. I get a message that it can't sync IMG_0026.JPG so I wonder if when that photo is reached the sync just stops. Could this be the reason?
    2. Also as these problems started after my most recent iPhoto 8.1.x update and for other reasons, I'm planning on dumping iPhoto 8 and going back to an earlier version such as iPhoto 5. Is anyone here using iPhoto 5 or 6 with their iPad?

    OK. I removed the photo and everything else seems to have synced fine. So question 1 is answered.
    Now what about question #2?

  • TS1363 My iPad won't sync with iTunes because it doesn't recognise apps.

    My iPad can't sync with iTunes because apparently my iTunes doesn't recognise my apps! I've had the iPad for 9 months and have been syncing regularly so am not sure why it's decided there's a problem.

  • How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    Not sure if you just have an issue with your setup or something else.
    I had an issue where my numbers and pages documents were not syncing on my ipad, but were on my iphone. 
    I turned icloud off an on, reset the apps, even deleted them and reinstalled them.  I also checked all of the other icloud setting. 
    Only thing that worked (and it might be just a fluke)  I emailed from my iphone a numbers document to my ipad.  I opened then closed the document and the app.  When I opened it back up it started importing my icloud documents.
    If it is a settings issue then you need to be sure you have icloud setup in your mail settings.  Has to be there and active.

    You cannot update iTunes on an iPad. The lastest version of iTunes on the iPad is updated when you update it's iOS
    You can update iTunes to the latest version 11.1.2 on your Mac if it supports the following:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

  • How many ipads can i sync to one iMac?

    I am a teacher and our ESL team is considering getting 4-5 iPads for our students and we are wondering how many iPads can we sync to one iMac?  I thought it could be potentially much easlier to sync all 5 iPads to one iMac and use this one iMac and its iTunes as our sync station since I am planning on having our team all use pretty much all the same apps with our students...is this possible?

    Hi mstaum,
    Yes, they can all sync to the same iTunes library. The key is the AppleID that you will be using. Are you planning on using the same AppleID and iCloud account for all users? If so, then you will want to be sure to set up the Restrictions on each iPad to require a Password for purchases immediately, so you can prevent the students from purchasing other apps on the credit card you are using for the iTunes account....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Why my ipad doesn't sync wi-fi since I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.0.40?

    why my ipad doesn't sync wi-fi since I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.0.40? I have a pc running windows 7 and my Bonjour service is started. I use the Remote app (airplay) normally but the ipad doesn't appear listed in iTunes to sync wi-fi.

    Is your iPad recognized by iTunes when connected to your computer via USB?
    If so, does Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi remain selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?
