My ipad is noy syncing anymore...

Hello..
I have had my iPad for several months.
I didnt syn with my itunes (1.0.1.1 for Win 64 bits) very often.
But today my ipadis not syncing anymore.
In the iTunes appears:
Syncing "GaboPad" (Step 2 of 4)
Preparing to sync...
And it has hours in the same state.
I have resintalled itunes, reinitialized my laptop and the situation continues.
How I know what is the problem?
Thanks!

I had the same problem and after a long time on the phone with Apple support restored the iPad which meant deleting all of the content and then reloading it. Fortunately I had synched successfully a month or so ago so I was able to recover most of the content. However it was successful and the device does synch and back up. Some tips to bear in mind before embarking on this: If you have your own content that you want to preserve email it to yourself or otherwise prserve it before doing the restore. For example I found that files held in Goodreader had not backed up, but files in iBooks had. So one tip while backing up is to make sure that any vital files you use in goodreader are also held in ibooks.

HT1386 For some reason my iPad won't sync anymore with my computer in iTunes the last time it would sync was on July 16

The last time my iPad would sync with iTunes on my computer was July 16th I have tried the thinks I read to do but no help

You are going to have to provide a few more details than my iPad will not sync.
Does iTunes see the device?
If it does recognize the iPad does anything happen at all?
Does the sync start and then stop?
Are you getting error messages?

Iphone 4s on iOS 7 - contacts do not sync anymore

contacts in my iPhone 4s do not sync anymore. other apps (ical, photos, reminders, mail) are ok. as of now I need to sync contacts manually. I also have two MacBooks and an iPad and they are all in sync among themselves, but the iPhone itself is out of reach. Is there a way to reset Contacts only for iPhone and get it back to normal?

Hey puntodifuga,
There are a few things that you can do to get your contacts to sync over if you are using iCloud. Lets start with that and go over the article below to start that process so you can be synced up.

Pages on my iPad is not syncing with iCloud

Here is the story
I have an iPad 2 - I use Pages on my iPad and macbook and save all my Pages documents in the cloud - I have approximately 1,000 documents. I have plenty of memory available on the iPad. A month ago Pages kept struggling to open on my iPad. So I deleted it from my iPad and reloaded it. Now it works but it is not syncing anymore - all the documents are there but most of them are greyed out.
In the top right hand corner of pages it says 'updating 995 documents'. This has now been going on for over 2 weeks. I have been to my local apple store who have said the only solution they can think of is for me to copy all of the documents from iCloud to my macbook and then empty iCloud and start again. This would be a nightmare! They reckon the iPad is clogged up and not able to update all the documents. I am not convinced of this - this issue has happened before - about a year ago - and Pages had no problem syncing fairly quickly.
Any suggestions?
Mark

Unfortunately, I don't know of any quick way to download all of the files from iCloud. What I would do - and I just tried this myself to make sure that it works - is to log into iCloud.com in Safari. Click on Pages and you will have access to all of your files. You can select each file and then download them by clicking on the settings icon (gear icon) in the upper middle portion of the screen. If you hold down on the shift key while you click on the documents, you can select multiple files to download.
You will have to gauge how many documents you want to download at a time. If you have high speed broadband, the process will go much quicker that if you have some dreadful DSL connection.
You can also launch Pages on your Mac and copy the files from the iCloud section and you will get a prompt that says that the documents will be removed from all synced devices. So if you do it this way, you will be downloading the files to the Mac and removing them from iCloud at the same time.

ITunes cannot recognize iPhone/iPad via WiFi Sync following motherboard change

Hi folks,
I'm having a problem with synchronising my iPhone (and iPad) to iTunes on Windows 7 Home Premium via WiFi sync.
This never used to be a problem - both devices would be identified by iTunes (occasionally this was sporadic, however a simple WiFi off/on would usually solve the problem).
I have recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU in my Windows 7 PC and after updating some drivers, etc. all of a sudden, I cannot connect to WiFi Sync anymore. I can still synchronise my devices via the cable - i.e. the devices are correctly identified by the PC, but for some reason post the motherboard change, as soon as I pull the plug out of the device, the device disappears from iTunes.
I can confirm that the "Synchronise this device via WiFi sync" tick boxes are checked, and the Machine Name is the same, so my iPhone is still looking for the same PC.
I'm wondering if because of the motherboard change, there is an internal signature that the iPhone/iPad looks for that is no longer the same.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes to no avail. I cannot seem to find any solution to this problem - no matter what I do, iTunes will simply not recognise my devices over WiFi anymore.
Welcome any advice or thoughts.
System details:
- Intel i7 2700K (Upgraded from Intel i3 550)
- ASUS P8Z68-M Pro (Upgraded from an ASUS P7H55-M/USB3
- iPhone 4S
- iPad 2
- Windows 7 Home Premium
Cheers,
Mike.

Folks,
I thought I should post a follow up - in case any Apple Support people scour these forums.
The problem seems to have resolved by itself, which is both a good and bad thing.
I made absolutely no changes last night, not even a system reboot, to launch iTunes today and the system miraculously discover both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2. I think this highlights a broader problem is that the WiFi sync capability is inconsistent and very difficult to troubleshoot. I have no idea why it has all of a sudden started working, especially when I have changed no wireless, networking, firewall or Anti Virus settings.
Anyway thank you to those who had a read, and I wish I could provide more insight on why it has started working all of a sudden, and importantly, what caused it to stop working.
Perhaps it is simply like two people - the new PC and its motherboard needed to 'get to know' the devices before it felt comfortable in allowing a connection .
I have no other more rational explanation!
Cheers all,
Mike.

My ipad won't sync photos, need help please

my ipad won't sync photos anymore, anyone out there can help

You could try clearing the photo cache.
You could also try a reset of the iPad and see if photos sync after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My itouch suddenly will not sync anymore to ITunes.

My itouch suddenly will not sync anymore to ITunes. Won't even pop up. Can't figure out what has changed. I recently updated to Snow Leopard, would that change anything?

Try here:
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
or here:

Itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i deleted itunes and reloaded, it showed up for awhile, said it was restarting my ipad and now is not showing up again, any ideas??

My itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i uninstalled itunes and reloaded, the ipad showed up for awhile, as updates were happening, it then said the ipad was restarting and now it is not showing up again, any ideas?? I was trying to sync my calendar and contacts which worked perfectly last time. Now when I plug in the ipad it brings up adobe photoshop album start - photo downloader and looks like it is trying download photos as if it is only seeing the ipad as a camera. very frustrating!

Windows ONLY sees iPads and iPhones as a camera. This is nothing new or different.
When you open iTunes and connect the device, does iTunes detect the device?
Have you tried a different USB port? Restarting the computer? Restarting the device?
Frankly, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is a bit of a drastic step as it was likely unnecessary.

Ipod Nano won't sync anymore

Hi - I have two identical Nano Ipods. 3rd gen 8GB. Both don't sync anymore since I downloaded latest itunes software. When I do a diagnostic check I get under device connectivity issue: "no ipod, iphone or ipad found" - nothing happens when I plug either of them in. However, if I plug another ipod in - a newer one - (not mine, someone else's) everything works fine. Computer and itunes recognizes the device. I have done everything imaginable to fix this problem, going through the step by step process from Apple support. To no avail. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Do you have any other devices connected via USB? Or have you previously installed other USB peripherals and drivers on that laptop?
Answer: No.
So when you plugged the Nanos into your friends computer, did you use the same cables as you do with your own PC or did you use your friends?
Answer: We used his cable. However, when he plugged HIS newer ipod into MY computer he used MY cable and his ipod was instantly recognized, after an automatic download of the correct driver for his device. I have tried several cables. It is not a cable problem.
Note: My friend is also my husband so his office in the next room. He has a Mac. I have a 2 year old Dell Inspiron with Windows 7. We have tested this numerous times. His ipod works on my computer. My ipods work just fine on his computer. My computer recognizes his ipod but won't recognize mine no matter how many drivers we uninstall and reinstall.
Can you post the results of the Device Connectivity Test?
Answer: I will try to do that later - I have to go to work now. All I have now is what I saw on the screen which was the same thing: "no ipod, iphone, ipad found". Thank you SOOOOO much for trying to troubleshoot this annoying issue.

Can't charge nor sync anymore

Hi
Since today, my iPad won't charge nor connect and sync to my Mac. Doesn't charge when I plug it to the wall with the 10W and cable that came with it, and doesn't sync anymore to my Mac when using the USB that was in the box? Broken? Connectic prb? Should I bring it back ?
Thanks for your help.

Try in this order:
1) Try a different cord and charger block.
2) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
3) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
4) Restore from itunes.
5) Take the ipad, cord and charger to an apple store for testing and corrective action.
Hope this helps....

IPad and iPhone sync thru the cloud

I can't get my calendar on my iPad to sync with my iPhone anymore. When I first turned on the iCloud on both devices it worked but now unless I actually enter a calendar date directly into my phone it will not transfer to my iPad. I sync my phone to my outlook calendar and when I do this the new dates frommy computer appear in my phone but not on my iPad. It's the same for my contacts. Any suggestions?

If I am not mistaken that is how it is intended to work. Check in the calendars app on your iPhone and at the top how many calendars does it say it syncing. Also check your iPad for the same think. It could also be that on the iPad you are showing the outlook calendar. But, I'm pretty sure it only syncs iCloud calendars.

My iPad won't sync with my Mac after I upgraded to Lion OS

Keyboard Shortcuts do not sync anymore (iCloud, OSX 10.9.5 & iOS 8)

Hey everyone,
since I updated my iPhone 5 and iPad (3. Gen.) to iOS 8 all my keyboard shortcuts are gone and don't sync anymore between the devices.
On my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) the keyboard shortcuts are still there. (Probably because Yosemite isn't out yet)
Until I updated to iOS 8 everything worked just fine.
I tried to figure out what the settings have to be and I found that article including a video:
http://9to5mac.com/2014/01/04/how-to-create-and-sync-keyboard-shortcuts-between- ios-7-and-mavericks/
iCloud is activated on every device
Documents and Date is enabled
Don't know why apple would have switched off that pretty need feature...
Any idea, what I could do?
Thanks in advance.

I was having the same "coming & going" problem with keyboard shortcuts after updating my iPhone 5S and iPad Air to iOS 8. I tried everything in this and other threads including restoring the devices. The only thing that worked for me was upgrading to iCloud Drive on my iOS devices. After doing so, my shortcuts are back and work perfectly.
You are one of the lucky ones!
My keyboard shortcuts were disappearing and reappearing, daily or hourly, about 50% reliable since iOS 8 update. Then did the 8.0.2 update and enabled iCloud Drive.
Since then, nothing. no shortcuts working at all on iPad Air. They show up in Settings.. General.. Keyboard.. Shortcuts.. but they do not work at all. Rebooted every day, three days now, no joy. Keyboard Shortcut function on my iPad Air is broken.

Can only sync photos by dropping folder on desktop - iPad won't sync photos

Hi all,
I've been trying for a couple weeks now to sync photos to my iPad.
I'm running SL 10.6.2 and have updated to the latest iTunes. I have one hard drive that runs only my OS and my applications and I have a secondary drive that contains all my data including music, videos, photos, documents etc.
I have been able to repeatedly successfully sync apps, movies, music, and even a pages document to my iPad from the secondary drive through iTunes.
Every single time I have tried to sync photos it just seems to hang at the Sync in Progress screen for hours. I finally have to cancel because it's obvious the sync will not be successful. This happens whether I have one folder selected with just a dozen photos or several folders selected.
I am not using iPhoto. I'm simply choosing the folders with the images I'd like to sync from the Photos tab in iTunes when my iPad is connected.
Today I took one of the folders I was trying to sync containing 12 photos and dropped it on my desktop. The photos synced in seconds and iPad happily said sync complete. Any ideas?
Is this a quirk with SL 10.6.2, iTunes 9.1, or iPad?
It's not necessarily a huge issue that I have to move all the photos I want to sync to my main mac drive... but I just really didn't want to clutter my OS drive with data stuff... I prefer to keep them separate. Seems the only way I can sync photos right now, though, is to move them to the main mac drive... even though everything else syncs just fine from the secondary drive...
Thanks for any help!

It looks like noone has and Idea how to fix this problem ;-(

TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
