New ipad is not syncing to itunes.

I have a new ipad just out of box. Having trouble sincing to itunes. Is there a minimum operating system (I have 10.4.11) to set up ipad?

Here are the system requirements for Mac and iPad 2. Clearly, you're going to have to upgrade your Mac OS.
Mac System Requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later

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 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.

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.

New iPad will not sync music, podcasts, or photos

So I sync'd my new iPad yesterday and cannot figure out why my music, videos, movies, photos, and podcasts do not sync. All of my apps carried over, but that's it. I might have 2 seperate email accounts associated with my iPhone and my iPad, but I don't know how to get them on the same account. Any help?

Hi and welcome........
I might have 2 seperate email accounts associated with my iPhone and my iPad, but I don't know how to get them on the same account.
Merging two different e-mail accounts isn't possible but you can use multiple mail accounts on your iPad. Tap Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Add Account. Do that for each mail account you want.

Make sure iTunes recognizes your iPad.

The New iPad will not sync all photo's

I picked up the new iPad yesterday at the Apple store and am having a problem getting it to sync all of my photo library.
Im using iTunes on Windows 7 to sync the "My Pictures" folder to the iPad.
It will sync some but not all of the folders in the "My Pictures". I have deleted the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, that did not help.
I have 2 iPhones and 2 older iPad 1's which sync the photo's just fine.

Maybe, although I always thought there was a threshold for each device below which it wouldn't have to create an "optimized" (re-sized) version. You'd think this would be a high number for the New iPad, giving the screen resolution. For example, my re-sized (3072 on the long edge) pictures aren't being optimized before tranfer -- they're just copying over and they work just fine.
Who knows. I just got off the phone with a tier-2 AppleCare rep (I found this thread while we were on the phone), and he indicated he would pass this thread along to the engineers. It's a pretty obvious bug somewhere in the mix, and one I suspect they'll be all over right away, given the attractiveness of the new iPad to photography types.

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.

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.

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.
