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.

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.

New ipad will not sync with itunes, despite having sufficient capacity

Trying to sync our brand new iPad 3 with our Mac's iTunes. iTunes keeps giving me blurb:
"The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items."
HOWEVER, the rainbow capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes shows that we are attempting to sync 27.95 GB worth of stuff, leaving 17.6 GB of free space.
That doesn't look "full" to me....!
What now?

I have the same problem!
My PC crashed and I had to upgrade my motherboard. Music and photos are still intact as they were stored on a separte hard drive (but had to re-do some playlists!). The apps were affected so I had to download purchased apps again from iTunes, not much of a problem there.
Now that I've tried syncing the iPad to my PC, I got the same error as Tiki's that "The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items."
What to do????

My ipad will not sync with itunes/windows 8

My ipad will not sync with windows 8. I had no problem with windows 7.

Some user have experienced issues with Win 8, as of yet its not listed as supported in system requirements for the ipad.

IPad will not sync with iTunes in Windows

My ipad will no longer sync with iTunes (iOS5 was downloaded). iTunes shows my iPad as having content and I can sync, but when I disconnect iPad, nothing appears on my iPad. If I set up as a new iPad, can I still then access everything I have in iTunes?

You should, yes. The iTUnes content is governed by the apple id, not the device(s). I had my iPad die on me and got a new one and just set it up as a backup and it sync'd all my old apps and my new one looked exactly like my old one.
So I believe if you set it up as a new one, you will have to put everything back on the ipad, but your apps will still be there in iTunes.

IPad will not sync with iTunes/DL from iTunes Match

I have just purchased an iPad with retina display and it will not allow me to download tv shows or music which i have on my itunes, either by syncing on itunes via my Mac or by using itunes match. It has however allowed me to purchase Pages and has no problem with getting previously saved documents from icloud.
I checked all settings are correct but it still wont allow me to sync. It has become very frustrating. I also downloaded the Ipad Metro app but that seems to have disappeared from the screen but will open in the app store.
Would peple recommend resetting the ipad and starting over or is there a less drastic option?

iTunes Match is for music only, not TV Shows or Movies. iTunes in the cloud lets you download previously purchased content to your iDevice. As long as you use the same ID that you bought the content wih, you should be able to download that content again in the purchased tab of iTunes.
If you are using iTunes Match on the iPad, I think that you have to turn it off in order to sync with iTunes on your computer.

As for the app that is not appearing on the iPad, open it from the App Store and then close it in the recents tray. Reboot the iPad and see if it appears on the device. I assume that you have swiped from screen to screen to look for it already.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My ipad will not sync with itunes. nothing shows up

when I plug my ipad 1 to my computer it will not sync. I would like to add my music collection to it. supposed to find it under devices, but there is not such link on my screen. doesn't sync automatically.

On occasion, iTunes will not recognize my iPad so what I do is quit iTunes, restart the iPad and reboot my Mac and it will appear after that. You could try that first, and if you still have no success, start with this support article from Apple.

Try changing USB ports on your PC and make sure that you use a port on the computer - do not use a hub or a port on the monitor.

My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync. As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down. I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error. Not sure what to do now.

New iPad2 will not sync with iTunes 9.2.1.

Have tried every thing but it will not sync. I'm running iMac 10.4.11 and cannot run the latest iTunes because it requires 10.5 to run. Have I purchased something which I cannot use.

I don't know how easy it is to upgrade Macs as I've only had mine a short time (so probably know more than me), hopefully somebody on here will have suggestions for the best way to do so - so I don't know whether you need this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC680Z/A?n=osx&fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTk0MjIyNz c&s=topSellers, or whether you can get away with this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573Z/A?n=osx&fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTc1MTEzNj Y&s=topSellers (one of the questions/answers below it implies that it's ok)

Ipad will not sync with iTunes to load new picture

i am having problems with my ipad as it will start the sync but then it says not able to sycn, i just updated the software and that went fine. i am sure what to do from here

Your first question makes it sound like you are trying to add new photos to the iPad and the sync will not complete. Can you sync the iPad without syncing the photos to the iPad?
Sometimes it helps to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder if you have issues syncing photos. If that is the problem that you are having, delete the iPod Photo Cache folder and then try to sync again.

HT202778 My iPod and iPad will not sync with iTunes

Help! What has changed that all of a sudden, (within the past 3 days) I no longer can sync my iPod and iPad with iTunes on my Mac. What has changed? Everything is up-to-date on all of my machines/devices/software

I had difficulties syncing my iPad Air last week that I have since resolved by changing back a few of my settings to what I had been using in the past. I have now synced my iPhone 5S multiple times (via USB cable) to the latest iTunes version on my Mac Pro with no issues.   In my situation, I don't know if the problems I had originally experienced in syncing the iPad Air was partly because I was making an initial attempt at syncing with a new Mac Pro and a copy of iTunes (whereby the iTunes sync options defaulted to Apple's original settings) or if it was because my previous settings were just overridden. In either case, my issues were resolved as follows:
     1) on the MacPro, I left iTunes Match "on" and selected "Sync only checked songs and videos" within the iTunes Summary Options section. For my music sync settings, I selected "Sync Music" & "Entire music library", and
     2) for the iPad Air and iPhone 5S, I turned iTunes Match off as well as the Show All Music and Genius options (i.e., Settings, Music, "Show All Music", "Genius", and "iTunes Match" are all disabled [off]----I always adjust my playlist on the Mac Pro anyway, so I only care about the iTunes Match feature when updating iTunes on the Mac (as a backup measure in addition to the Time Capsule) and I prefer to access music that is directly stored on the iPad & iPhone rather than use the iCloud. Last week, when I initially did the sync with the iPad Air and had to reset, erase all content, and restore the device, Apple defaulted a few of these settings to on. I did not experience any troubles with my iPhone 5S sync with the new Mac Pro as I was more careful to make certain that these settings were deactivated (because I did not run into further difficulties, I also did not have to reset, erase, & restore my iPhone as was the case with the iPad). I can't say what combination of the "Show All Music", "Genius", and "iTunes Match" settings are a contributing factor to any sync issues, but I recalled having them all off on the iPads and iPhones when successfully syncing over the past several years. So when it worked the first time a few days ago with the iPhone 5S sync, I didn't go looking for trouble to further isolate the cause (of my previous iPad Air difficulties last week) by setting the "Show All Music" and/or "Genius" options to on (i.e., I just made sure they were all off and was happy to see the iPhone 5S sync successfully). There are multiple iTunes sync options, so I realize there are other settings that may work fine for many, but I have had relatively few issues in the past when syncing as described.
I have continued to edit playlists/add songs and have synced successfully several times. After having had quite a few sync issues with the iPad Air last week, I am going to be more careful to examine the iTunes sync options on both the Mac Pro and iPhone 5s & iPad Air (to make certain that they have not changed) when I update any IOS software on either device in the future.

Apps purchased on iPad will not sync with iTunes on my PC

I'm running the latest iTunes (9.1.1) and have deauthorized and reauthorized my computer several times to no avail. Apps purchased through iTunes on my PC sync to the iPad without issue.
Any ideas?

Maybe you have to select "Sync Apps" then right click on your name here iPad and Transfer Purchases
I hope I could help you
