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?

  • Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?

    Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?  I have to log in to a website to get our orders, and we thought it was the website at first, but have since realized it is just my computer with this issue.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it does not work.

  • MY MAC WONT CONNECT TO MY WIFI BUT WILL CONNECT TO OTHERS

    My imac wont connect to my wifi but will connect to the person downstairs from me. it works once and a while but never for more then a few mins...could it have something to do with the router?

    Hello Trey,
    Without knowing anything about your WiFI system, my opinion is that your wifi signal is either, weaker than your downstairs neighbor, or more likely, your wi fi system is suffering from interference.  The first thing you should do is change the channel it is operating on.  See if that helps.  
    I tend to think it is not the router, but can only offer a guess, since you did not describe your system.

  • IPod Touch 4G won't sync new apps on 2nd authorized computer, but WILL sync music, podcasts, etc.

    Hello.
    Everywhere I've read about apps not syncing to the iPod touch while using iTunes on a second authorized computer have mentioned that they could sync nothing to the device. Yet I have a different problem, one where I have no problem syncing new music, podcasts, pictures, etc., and only new apps refuse to sync to the device.
    I recently purchased a new iPod Touch 4G. My computer being away for repairs at the time that I bought it, I synced only podcasts, apps, pictures, and video to the device using a friend's computer under a different Apple ID. When I first synced it, I authorized that computer with the device, and it mentioned you could sync the device with up to 5 computers, so I figured I would have no problem when I got my own computer back.
    Having now received my computer back, I connected my new iPod touch to my own iTunes under my Apple ID and authorized my computer as the second authorized computer. These are the only two computers I have ever synced the device with.
    I copied my music library, more pictures, and more podcasts to the device with no problems, and they play/show on the device no problem. Also, I can still access and use all the content previously on my iPod.
    I have downloaded a few new free apps that I wanted to sync to my iPod using my computer, but when I go to sync them to my iPod, they won't sync to the device. I have downloaded all the apps I had originally put on my iPod using my friends computer so that I would receive updates for the apps automatically. I have not tried to sync these, though I have (or iTunes at least is telling me I have) synced any updates that have since come up for the apps already on my iPod.
    I have tried clicking and dragging the new apps from the apps tab over to the device tab, and iTunes shows them syncing, and to the best of my knowledge, shows that it has finished syncing them. It also shows that it has completely synced all the new apps when I try syncing on the apps tab under the device tab (the one that shows up when you click on the tab for your iPod, and is next to Summary, Pictures, Video, etc.). I have all the boxes checked off, and the boxes next to all the apps are checked off as if they're on my iPod, but they don't show up on the screen display next to it. When I click and drag the new apps over so they appear and click "apply," iTunes shows that it has completed the syncing process, but the apps won't show up on my iPod, and disappear from the sceen display on the device apps tab the next time I sync my iPod.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and have downloaded all updates for it. My iPod's less than a month old, so I don't think there's any updates for the iPod itself.
    I also currently don't have the ability to sync over wi-fi, or have wi-fi access on my iPod at home, though I could set it up if it would fix the problem. Right now, I'm only syncing my iPod using usb and iTunes.
    I would prefer, if possible, not to have to restore the iPod to factory settings, and begin anew. However, if this is necessary, any help on how to restore the iPod and back it up would be much appreciated.
    Any help you can give is awesome.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hey, I'm probably too late and you may have already solved it but here's a solution. In iTunes go to Edit then preferences and then click on reset dialog warnings. What happens is when you first sync your ipod, you receive a message saying something like transfer?and you've probably selected "Do not show this message again". I don't really know why but iTunes assumes that the apps on your iPod are already on your computer and therefore need no transferring.
    After you've reset it, the same message should pop up about transferring. As long as you don't click don't show, you should be good to go.

  • My ipod wont connect to the computer but will connect to an ipod stereo

    I have a 2nd generation nano that I have had for 2 years, but not used very much. It has always worked fine and still does however it wont connect to the computer at all. I have tried different ipod usb cables and different computers. It will charge and play on an ipod stereo. I would like to be able to hook it up to the computer so I can put more music on it. Has anyone had this problem before?

    Update to the newest version of iTunes if that doesn't work
    Try uninstalling the drivers,
    Plug in your iPod
    Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
    that will bring you to the Computer Management
    On the left hand side click on device manager
    on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
    right click and select uninstall
    Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
    Windows should automatically start installing them again
    if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    and choose scan for hardware changes

  • My new charger wont work for the computer but will work in the wall charger

    So recently, the charger for my Ipod touch 5th generation broke(my puppy chewed it) so I went to get a new charger. I found that the new charger was not working when i plugged it into my computer. After i returned the charger, and got one that seemed a little better, i plugged it into my computer and found that that one also didnt work. I was extremely angry and confused about why they werent working. I was wondering if the problem was my ipod or the charger or the computer. So i plugged it into a wall charger in the wall and that did work! So now im assuming its just my computer but it has always worked before when i plugged it into my computer untill the last charger i had broke. Any idea how to fix this? Or is this unfixable?

  • Your Ipod is synced to another computer - but this is the "other computer"

    I had to reinstall all my hardware. When I reinstalled Itunes and hooked up my Ipod, I got a message saying my Ipod is synced to another computer and can only by synced to one computer. It asked if I want to erase the contents and sync to this but my laptop library was wiped out and all the songs I've downloaded are on my Ipod so if I erase all I have to start all over again. It does give the option to transfer only the songs I purchased.
    Please help. Is there a way to reset things so I can sync back to this laptop?
    Thanks, Dirk

    I did this once successfully using a program called copypod. It's convoluted, I know, but it's the only way I could figure it out...
    http://www.copypod.net/copypod.php
    1. Use copypod to transfer the music from your ipod to your itunes collection on your computer's hard drive. Close iTunes, open copypod, and follow the directions. Unless you want to pay, the basic version of copypod only allows you to transfer 100 songs at a time, which might take a while if you have a huge library.
    2. After you've transferred all the songs on your iPod to iTunes, plug in your ipod and when prompted if you want to 'make this computer your primary computer' answer 'yes'. This will erase your ipod but will also copy all the music from iTunes back onto your ipod. Your iPod and computer are now synched and best friends again.
    The songs purchased from the apple store can be used on five different computers, so these tracks probably won't be a problem either.
    Hope that works!

  • Won't sync podcasts in Vista, but will sync music

    Vista x64 build 5744. Itunes 7.0.1
    Everytime I sync the ipod and go into the podcast section of the ipod via itunes and set it to sync podcasts and hit apply I get the following error:
    The ipod "archer75's iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    Any ideas on how to fix this? I mainly use my ipod for listening to podcasts.

    Thank you for your response. Yes, it very well could've been iTunes 9.
    Okay, I got the first part of your workaround. I unchecked the "Automatically include" checkbox in the Podcasts tab.
    However I don't see where "Include Episodes from Playlists" option is. I've checked my playlist I want to sync in the Music tab under Playlists, but I obviously need to do something else because it's still not syncing. Where do I find that?

    I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
    Does this make any sense?
    You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
    Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
    Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
    **** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
    For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
    Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
    Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
    ---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
    Hope this helps.
