My ipad will not sync to pc, has before but gets confussed

my ipad2 will not sync to my pc, has before but just gets confussed

Without knowing anything else other than iTunes or you PC gets confussed, try another USB port on the computer - do not use a hub or the port on the monitor if you use a desktop, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad and then try again.
If that doesn't work - it would really be helpful to have just a little more information - other than the PC gets confussed.

  • My new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes

    my new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes.  I am on a Windows system

    Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded?  If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized.  With iTunes open, click on Store at the top.  Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them.  Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

  • My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is off

    My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

    Thanks Rudegar,
    I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
    I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
    I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
    Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
    Thanks again

  • My Ipad will not sync due to apps installed could not be determined

    My ipad will not sync because apssinstalled could not be determined> how is this when everything is purchased through itunes?

    What model iPad and what version of iTunes is on your computer?
    Try this.
    Unplug the iPad from your computer.
    Close the iTunes app on your computer.
    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.)
    Connect the iPad to your computer and reopen iTunes.
    Hopefully this will correct the problem.
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT1349 My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now.

    My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now, what can I do?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

    My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

    Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
    For instance - if you want to sync music....
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

  • After upgrading to ios5 iPad will not sync

    Downloaded iOS without issue. After initial errors restoring, finally got through that portion. Then had problems getting through iPad setup - got stuck on "Find my iPad" screen; rebooted device and  got through that. Now the iPad will not sync with my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Restored twice. Keep getting "Failed to initialize Snyc" error message.

    I experienced this one time and this is what I did and it worked for me. You can try it as well and see of it works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on your ID and sign out. Restart your iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign In. Then go to automatic downloads and try again.

  • My "notes" on iPad will not sync with iPhone thru iCloud. What gives?

    My "notes" on iphone and iPad will not sync thru iCloud. I am sure it is user error...but I can not figure it out.

    It reads like this is a problem on the iOS side. On your iPhone or iPad launch the notes app, in the top left corner tap the button until you are on the Accounts page and see if iCloud is an option. If it is select that option and new notes will push to your Mac. If its not close the Notes app and go to Settings > iCloud > Notes > Toggle On. The option will now be in the notes app as described above. Side note: You may be asked to set up an iCloud email if you haven't already. Hope that helps.

  • My ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync.  Can someone help me?

    my ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync.  Can someone help me?

    going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process.  Have you ever seen this?
    After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music.  The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad.  so strange.  I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
    I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
    Thanks for your time and help!

  • My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
    You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

    I purchased a video from iTunes but it will not sync to my iPod.  I get a message stating that the video "was not loaded to the iPod because iyt cannot be played on this iPod."  I tried to use the "create an iPod version" but the command is grayed out

    I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.
