  • My iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to other computers.

    Like the title says, my iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to my bother's mac and my windows laptop.

    First off, an iPad is designed to sync with only one computer. Syncing with a second computer erases everything synced from the first computer.
    What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What happens when you try and what, if any, error messages do you receive? Do you have iTunes 11.1 or later on the computer you want to sync with?

  • The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

    The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file>devices>transfer purchases. It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

    Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

  • My pages documents on my ipad wont sync to icloud. Some documents have had the upload icon on them for over a month. It was all working fine but now I cant figure out what is going on.

    MY pages documents on my ipad wont sync to icloud. Some of the documents have had the upload icon on them for over a month. It was all working fine a month or so ago but I cant figure out why it wont work now.

    Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
    I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. 

  • I have a ipod touch 5g. The music wont sync from my computer to it and music downloaded on my ipod won't synce to my computer. How do I fix it?

    I have a ipod touch 5g. The music wont sync from my computer to it and music downloaded on my ipod won't synce to my computer. How do I fix it?

    Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • TS3999 My calendar on my iPad wont sync into my iPhone 5 calendar, please help

    My calendar on my iPad wont sync into my iPhone 5 calendar, please help

    You did understand and yes you suppose to sign in with the same account, that you told me you checked and found the same. If you can't sign in, which is hard to imagine after your description and it gives you that message. That would really mean that no icloud account with your credentials have been created.
    1. Lets try to get to that site again. www.icloud.com. Should be a black page with sign in fields. Once you sign in you should see 7 icons, one of them being your calendars.
    2 Open those and follow previous directions.
    OOOOO Do it on the computer. NOT AN IPAD OR PHONE. Those can't get there.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • Sync Interrupted - now iPad wont Sync

    I was in the middle of syncing my iPad2 when I accidentally moved my harddrive that holds my iTunes library. Now it will not sync to iTunes. I have tried resetting the iPad and shutting down my PC. Nothing has worked.
    Please help!!
    Thanks Grace  

    Hi Gracie, You might try a "hard reset" which is holding down both the home key and the on/off button at the same time for about 10 seconds then wait for the apple to leave and then turn your iPad back on..here is what i found for you in the iPad user guide...
    Disconnecting iPad from Your Computer
    Unless iPad is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time.When iPad is syncing with your computer, the iPad Home screen shows "Sync in progress." If you disconnect iPad before it finishes syncing, some data might not transfer. When iPad finishes syncing, iTunes shows "iPad sync is complete."
    Cancel a sync:  
    Drag the slider on iPad.
    Hope this helps....Annie

    Hello richardayoub1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is in recovery mode, you will need to restore it with iTunes.

  • FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
    Good Luck!
