Since I upgraded to the new OS, my IPad will no longer sync

Since upgrading to the new OS, my IPad will no longer sync with Itunes. It says "The Ipad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this ipad.
My computer has been authorized and nothing has changed except the update.
Help?

then if you have done all that then make sure your router firmware is up to date. then restore the device as new

IPad will no longer sync with iPhone when using iMessages

I'm not sure what happened but my iPad no longer syncing iMessages with my iPhone. All have been signed in with Apple ID, all have the same telephone number and email address selected. I'm at loss what to do. Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue with my ipad 3 with retina display and my iphone 5 (both iOS 8.1.2). Text messages received on my iphone will be forwarded to my ipad, however imessages will not. Also, some contacts that i can Imessage on my iphone (blue contacts) show up as grey, red or green on my ipad and it wont allow me to imessage them anymore.
I have tired all of the apple support remedies to no avail, including a full reset of both devices. No luck yet. I hope someone can figure this out for both our sakes.

TS1538 iPad will no longer sync to itunes on PC.

I can no longer sync my ipad with my iTunes on my PC. I was able to sync it all right when I first got it a year ago but now when I connect my ipad to my PC via the USB cable I can't see my ipad on iTunes and so can't tell it to sync. I did update to IOS 7 and I'm running the current version on my iPad. Could this be the problem? I followed troubleshooting instructions all to no avail. Can anyone help?

Check your i tunes version on the PC. you need the most recent version.
Other potentials -
try a different usb port,
try a different cable.

IPad will no longer sync with desktop Outlook programs. Wireless keyboard cannot find the iPad. Cannot reset the iPad. What is wrong?

This problem developed in mid December. the synching worked perfectly on my 18 month old iPad 2 until then. Now the iPad will not sink my calendar, contacts and notes from my desktop Outlook program. It does seem to sync my pictures. the wireless keyboard had no problem recognizing the iPad until mid-December. I tried to reset the iPad by pressing the on off and home button concurrently. The iPad logo appeared but the iPad did not reset. Instead, my full configuration on the iPad along with all of my apps simply reappeared. I am at a loss as to what happened and what to do about it.

Your post indicates iOS 4.3 which is now quite old. I am going to suggest restoring your iPad, which, among other things, will update your iOS to the current version.
I recommend restoring your iPad. Make sure you have the current version of iTunes on your computer (currently 11.0.1). Plug your iPad into your computer, let it sync, then press "Restore" on the right side when the summary page of the iPad is displayed in iTuens' display.

My iPad will no longer sync with my mac. My iPhone and iPod are connecting fine. Please help

The connection is working because the ipad will still charge but it will not sync.

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

IPad will no longer sync after iOS 5 update

I updated my Original iPad to iOS 5 and now it no longer syncs; it stays stuck at the preparing to backup step. This happens whether I try it via WiFi or via the standard way with the cable.
I'm thinking I should do a Restore from Backup and get it back to iOS 4.3.5.

I've been stymied at this backup failure (and thus sync and update since both go through the backup process first) for a long time, ever since release 4.3.3 or thereabouts.
Stay with me, please; this was part of my recent troubleshooting process. I tried using the new install of Safari and sure enough, it only loaded blank pages. iTunes (new release) Help also loaded only blank pages and then reported "computer not connected to the internet".
In seeking a resolution to the Safari connection issue, I came across this advice from Mike41: "If anyone runs across my post of 7/21/2011 regarding Safari 5.1 not connecting to the Internet on my Windows Vista system, BorisKon suggested I run a command prompt window as administrator and execute the command "netsh winsock reset" (then be sure to reboot). I tried this and now Safari 5.1 can access the Internet. See the discussion athttps://discussions.apple.com/message/15734035#15734035. I had to reboot for the command to take effect. "
I did this on my system and now Safari, iTunes, and the iPad backup all function 100%.
Start/Run/"cmd" without quotes.
Type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes.
Reboot the computer.
Happy, happy, joy, joy...

IPad will no longer sync iTunes Playlist from OS 10.8.5 to iOS 7.0.4

I HAD been syncing my iPad to my iMac, but I decided to sync the iPad with my Macbook from now on, as it's at OS 10.8.5, when sync stopped working for Movies and Playlists from its OS 10.5 (I do not want to update the desktop Mac due to my preference for the colorful finder icons, plus some of my software requires expensive updates to work with 10.8). So I had done some research and found that the sync from OS 10.5 no longer works to iOS 7... which led to my decision to sync the iPad with my Macbook which was great at first.....
When I first synced to the Macbook, my up to date Playlists and Movies all synced - great - BUT last night, I added several new songs to my library and Playlists, and though after the sync, the iPad's iTunes DOES have the songs in its library, they do NOT appear in the Playlists.
I have done a manual sync on the Macbook repeatedly to try and get these songs to appear in the Playlists on the iPad, but to no avail. I've always had 'Sync only checked songs and videos' selected, and have unchecked the updated Playlists, synced, and then checked them again and synced again, have tried checking and unchecking 'sync over WiFi', and even closing the iTunes app and re-opening, and even powering off the iPad and back on, yet nothing changes..
My Macbook is at 10.8.5 (current with its release) and the iPad is current as well, iOS 7.0.4.

I had to recreate the play list But once I did that and synced it appeared. I'm sure updates won't update to the playlist though if I buy new songs.... Plus I can't figure out why my Macbook syned to the iPad after deleting the Playlist on the iPad (I assumed it would re-sync to the Macbook as it had done the before) ... I had not changed any settings after fiddling with the obvious above... but once I created it again on the Macbook, then the iPad synced the new Playlist.
So aggrivating and disappointing that these things aren't tested out prior to releasing updates!

Itunes will no longer sync my music to my brand new iPad.

Itunes will no longer sync to my brand new iPad. Synched with old one just fine. Goes through process and finishes but still no music and no error. Tried selecting specific artists or songs and same. Have lastest software on both. Running Windows 7 Ultimate. Tried reinstalling iTunes, nothing is working. I had previously used iTunes Match but that was locking up my computer so I've since turned it off on the iPad so that I could have all of my music, not just the 300 or so that Match decided to add. I'm really frustrated with these latest software updates, what the heck is going on over there?

when you open the sync option go to pictures and make sure all of them are checked

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.
