My iPad won't backup when I sync it to my iTunes.

It'll sync completely and say it's being backed up, but then a warning will come on and say that the backup couldn't be saved on my computer. I have IOS 4.2.1 and am trying to update to 4.3.3, but it won't let me because it's not backed up. How can I back it up? I already tried to do it by right-clicking on my iPad and just selecting "backup".

It took me countless hours to run this problem down when I got my Mini. (It's a core solo, intel.) I finally found out that my Dell keyboard (and perhaps the mouse as well) wasn't compatible with the Mini. I got a Macally keyboard and the mouse that came with it for about $30.00 and it now goes to sleep and wakes up when I want it to. I hope this helps.

My iPad won't backup to my computer during sync

Since downloading iOS5, my iPad won't backup during sync with my computer. It tries to start, then just sits there. Any ideas? I'm working off of Windows7 on my computer and have already tried the Restore function.
Thanks!

first of all make sure your icloud storage isn't full. Try plugging your iPad into your computer and click on icloud.
And if non of this helps either contact your local apple store or visit it when you get the chance.
I hope something helped.

Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

IPad won't backup. It keeps getting stuck

My iPad won't backup on iTunes on my computer. It used to work fine then one day it stopped. It starts backing up and it barely does anything then it freezes. The bar won't move any more, even if I leave it for like an hour. iTunes still goes to different pages, but it won't backup anymore. Then when I cancel the backup, my iPad stops doing it but the iTunes backup bar stays there and iTunes won't close unless I restart my computer. I do have the latest version of iTunes.
What should I do? I can't just NOT back it up.

Check the music tab on the iPhones iTunes page, and make sure "sync all music" is checked. If you chose only to sync certain music, new music will not automatically show up.

Why is it that when I "sync" my iphone with iTunes, apps which I deleted since the previous backup appeared in my iPhone?

Hi,
I am using latest version of iOS (5.0.1) and iPhone 4.
My question is stated in the title. I wish to sync iTunes according to my current iPhone settings (i.e. backup my current settings from my iPhone to iTunes), not reinstall apps which I have already deleted.
But when I "sync" my iphone with iTunes, apps which I deleted since the previous backup suddenly appeared in my iPhone.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

When you sync your phone check the Apps tab in your iTunes sync settings (not the Apps folder under Library on the left sidebar) and confirm that the apps you don't want on your phone are unchecked prior to syncing.

Why photos already uploaded to Ipad are erased when I sync other photos using Itunes ?

Why previous photos uploaded to Ipad (retina) are erased when I sync it through Itunes to upload additional photos ?

To keep the photos previously loaded when you previously synced you have to continue to select them when syncing additional photos. If you don't they will be deleted.

Why when i sync my music from itunes the album pictures do not show on my iphone?

I had music on my itunes, and from my files on my laptop i put the album cover pictures on itunes. However, when i sync my iphone to itunes, only a few pictures show and i dont know whats gone wrong???

The iPhone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iPhone. The only exception is iTunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

The following says how to restore from backup.

If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

I have Itunes on my computer, however its an older version and it says I can no longer update it. My problem is im considering buying an Iphone 5, but if it is running on a new version what will happen when I sync it to my itunes account?

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
What Operating System is the computer running?

I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

Do you want them copied back into iTunes?

HT4236 Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment.
