My new IPad won't sync with ITunes

I have a new IPad and want to sync it with ITunes on my computer. It says it's starting to sync, but nothing ever happens, it just stays there. My IPod syncs without problem, so why is the IPad not Syncing?

It is hard to tell why the iPad is not syncing.
Reboot the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer and try again.
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.

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?

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.

Perform http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357 to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

My ipads won't sync with itunes after update

Anyone else having trouble after the latest OS Security update 2012-004? Sinse I installed it, my iPad's (a 1 and 2) will not complete a sync with iTunes - I get "unkown error (1150)" each time.

Please, read this:

Hope I helped.

My new iphone won't sync with itunes

I bought the iphone while on holiday in the US, promised by salesperson that the phone was unlocked. Back home in Australia, put my Virgin SIM into the phone. No service. Tried to sync with itunes, no go. Message says that SIM is not authorised. Does this mean that the sales person lied to get a sale? How can I get it unlocked if this is the case?
I have downloaded all the latest updates for iphone and itunes.
Help..

You're welcome.
Apple began selling the iPhone as officially unlocked via their online store on June 14th and I assume the same was/is available via Apple's retail stores as well. This is not available via Apple's official retailers in the US such as at Best Buy, Walmart, and Radio Shack stores.
Doubtful if this mobile shop in NY is an official Apple retailer for the iPhone but regardless, they would not be selling the officially unlocked iPhone.
There is nothing indicating ATT anywhere on the retail sales box?
If it shows ATT as the carrier when selecting the phone icon - I'm not sure what this means since my iPhone does not show ATT when I select the Phone icon with my iPhone which is carrier locked with ATT, this obviously means you did not purchase an unlocked iPhone. If this iPhone is unlocked, it was hacked to be unlocked.
The Apple store there will not help. The iPhone's warranty is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only.
Why didn't you purchase an iPhone in your country where it is sold as officially unlocked and where you would have Apple support and a warranty?

My new ipad won't sync with my itunes

I tried to sync my new ipad (4th generation the newest one) and it says it won't load because I need itunes version 10.7 or higher. I tried to update my itunes (i have version 10.6.3) and it says I have the newest version of itunes. On the apple website I saw they have version 11 of itunes so i downloaded that but it won't install to my macbook because it says i need to have newer software. I tried to update my mac software and it says there are no updates but i have version Mac OS X 10.5.8 and there should be an update for that too. How do i update my macbook software when it says theres no updates?

You need to update to OS X 10.6
Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

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 new ipod won't sync with itunes and does not show on windows

If I plug it into another computer though it works fine.
Have tried - resetting ipod, downloading upgrades, switching firewall off.
No idea what else i can do!

Ipad won't sync with itunes in new ios7.1 update

After installing iOS 7.1, my iPad 3 would not sync over wifi with my Imac running OS 10.6.8. To get it to sync I had to connect the iPad to the iMac using the USB. That worked, and since updating via USB my iPad now updates via wifi when iTunes is opened.

Hello socaviking
Continue your troubleshooting with the article below. It will walk you through checking the drivers as well as any security software that may be preventing access.

Ipad won't sync with Itunes on my PC (lenovo)

I plug my ipad into the USB port on my lenovo PC but it doesn't recognize it. The PC DOES recognize my ipod which is an older version I've had for 5+ years and that syncs fine. I've uninstalled/reinstalled itunes with my McAfee virus protection turned off, I've restarted my laptop and my ipad and still...nothing will work. Brought it in to the Apple store today and after 2 and a half hours with an employee it still hasn't been resolved. They said they aren't trained enough in PCs to help. Feeling pretty frustrated and appreciate any help!!

When you get back home, try different USB ports and/or different cables, just to rule out any mechanical issues.
Then try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again. Sometimes there seems to be a driver issue, where the up to date driver doesn't install but iTunes thinks it's there. The easiest way to get it on your computer is to remove the programs that use it and reinstall iTunes, which will automatically reinstall the driver when you plug your iPad back in.
