New ipad sync cable

I have a new ipad and several ipads which means I have many 30-pin cables. I'm told when using the new ipad I need to use the cable that came with it bcause it needs more juice than the older ipads, ipods. Now that I have them all together how do I physically tell which cable is the one that came with my new ipad so I can mark it with colored tape so I can easily pick out the right one?

All of the Apple iDevices use the same 3ft cable. A few iPad users that bought a longer cable from a 3rd party supplier report problems with charging, possibly due to the limitation of the small gauge wire and the 2A charge current.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

New IPad sync Problem

I just purchased a new iPad. When I went to sync it to my computer (HP Eletebook 8440p, running Vista 32 bit) it recognized it as it should have. I went through the standard setup / registration phase. At one point it brought me to a page in iTunes that ask me if I wanted to set up the "Find my phone". At this point I can not progress any further. The three links listed "Learn More", "Not Now" and "Setup Find My Phone" do nothing when clicked. iTunes does will not progress any further.
Steps taken this far:
Un installed iTunes 10.2.2
Re installed iTunes 10.2.2
Uninstalled again and installed older version 9.2 ( I think)
Received error and re installed 10.2.2
I still have the same screen asking about "find my phone". This is all new to me and I'm at a loss.

Can you try to setup the iPad from a friend's computer? Or return to the store and request an initial instore setup?

New iPad sync

I have a 2g itouch and purchased a new ipad. I opened itunes and connected my ipad to sync and now
all of my apps from my itouch are now on my ipad....is this OK

If the apps don't fill the screen, this is normal. they are likely Touch/Phone apps only. You will see a button with 2X on it, so you can blow them up to full screen. Some will look better than others, all depends on how high resolution they are.
I started my iPad with my Touch apps on it, saw how each of htem looked then decided whether or not I wanted to purchase the iPad versions of those that didn't look so good.
Touch and Phone apps can run on the iPad, but iPad only apps won't run on the smaller screens. And anything in the app store with a + on their download button are universal apps that work on any of the devices.

New iPad charging cable vs. iPhone 4s cable

Are the charging cables for the iPhone 4s and the New iPad the same? Can I use them interchangeably?

You can use the iPad charger to charge the iPhone. Not a problem. Theoretically, you can use the iPhone charger to charge an iPad. However, the new iPad has a battery that's 70% larger than the iPad 2. The iPhone charger charged the iPad 2 very slowly. I haven't tried charging my new iPad with my iPhone charger but I suspect that, in order to charge it at all, you will need to turn it off. If the iPad is on, especially if you try to use it, I don't think it will charge.
Best of luck.

Why won't my new iPad sync thru wifi with iTunes? My iPhone 4S has no issues.

Please help? I have set iTunes to allow sync via wifi?? I'm stuck

I find WiFi syncing can be a bit flakey and unreliable at times. I have my own issues at times, but usually, restarting everything will allow me to sync over WiFi again..
Have you tried rebooting your iPad - not while you are connected to the computer with the cable. Unplug the iPad before you reboot.
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.
Try again after you reboot. You may still have to sync with the cable one more time in order to try to set up WiFi syncing again.

Just bought a new iPad, and my highlights and bookmarks will not sync to it through iBooks.

Hey, I just bought the third-generation iPad. I have been reading on the iPad 2 for a year now, and have hundreds of books in my library. Because I'm such an intense reader, and value my highlights, it upset me when I bought the new iPad, synced it to iTunes, and then highlights and bookmarks were not transferred to the new iPad. The books were all out of order when they synced, and I had to rearrange them, but they were in the correct collections. This was my first hint that something was wrong. Next, when I opened my books, I could not find a single highlight in any of them. I checked all the books on my iPad 2 and they're fine as usual, everything is how I left it, including my bookmarks and highlights, and I even went into settings and made sure sync bookmarks was on on both iPads. I am completely confused and frustrated. I even put my new iPad into DFU mode and tried to re-sync everything, nothing is working. They just won't sync. Could someone please help me out, this means a lot to me. Also: is anyone noticing that the multitouch is slightly off with the new iPad? I'll go to tap dictation or drag an icon to another page, and it's just not that responsive. a few times I have clicked the dictation button but I gotten a space in instead. It seems you just have to press harder almost. Lastly, my 30 pin seems to be a little tight. I put a standard 30 pin sync cord that came with my original iPad 2 and iPhone 4 into the 30 pin and I almost had to jam it into the 30 pin slot. I work with iDevices all day long and have never had one that needed to be jammed in before. It doesn't seem good for the iPad. Yes, I am borderline about to return it, but the screen just looks so much clearer, I can't go back to my iPad 2. Wow, again I pressed the dictation button and the spacebar activated instead. If anyone can figure out this whole iBook situation so I can get my bookmarks and my highlights back, I would really appreciate it!

I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

How do I sync new ipad to match old ipad

Is there a simple way to have a new IPAD sync in itunes to match the set up of an existing one rather than build it app by app?

To add a little detail.
Plug in the old pad. Transfer any purchases to I tunes. Upload any photos you may have taken on the pad, or uploaded thru the camera connection kit onto where ever you store your pictures.
Then do a back up of the original pad.
Plug the new pad. Into I tunes. Set it up, and select restore from existing backup. It will copy all the stuff from the back up of the original device.

Brand new iPad Mini Retina won't charge when its connected to my PC

I just opened up my brand new iPad Mini Retina and attempted to plug it into my PC and set it up. The iPad quickly recognizes my PC, briefly displays the charge symbol then immediately displays "not charging." I have attempted to plug the iPad into the wall, and it charges just fine. All the cables I'm using are straight out of the box which I bought right from the Apple Store so I know its not any of those. My laptop is fully charged and also plugged into the wall, so I know its not my computer. I also double checked everything by plugging my iPhone 5 into my computer (with the new iPad lightening cable) and it charges/syncs just fine. Im stumped, please help me fix my brand new iPad Mini Retina.

I know you said PC, for for others that have an iMac with USB 3 ports, they can put out extra power to charge an iPad. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049?viewlocale=en_US)

Why registration screen comes up every time my iPad syncs

i bough a ipad 2 reset my old ipad and registered the new one now every time my new ipad syncs the registration screen comes up

I have the same problem. I keep getting the iPad registration popping up in iTunes even though I have already done it. There must be some way to change a flag somewhere to stop this popping up.

Syncing with iTune
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

I just bought a new ipad 2, but cannot use it as it only shows the itunes logo and a cable. This means it's telling me to connect to itunes. I've done this and performed sync, still no way out. I have been told by friends to "unlock" it. Please how?

Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

Why will my new iPad no longer sync my non-iTunes TV shows?

My original iPad, as well as my iPhone 4S, synced perfectly with iTunes 10.6. I usually use the option Sync 3 Oldest Unwatched for the TV Shows that I add myself, but this no longer works for my new iPad; it does not recognize non-iTunes TV shows in my sync settings, and refuses to sync any of them unless I manually select the episodes. What could be the problem here?

Thank you for your reply and your suggestion. I did try using a different cable. The original cable was one that had been working perfectly well just last week. ITunes is still not styncing.

Itunes ejects Ipod before syncing (after new Ipad connected)

I don't know if anyone can help me, but I recently added (synced) a new IPad to my Itunes on my Macbook.
Since then, when I try to sync my Ipod, Itunes either doesn't recognise my Ipod, or starts syncing bt then comes up with a message "disc not ejected properly" and then stops the sync entirely without anything being transferred to my Ipod.
Any ideas?

trying to get back on topic re the original post -
i.e. I also have an iPod (classic 160) that now will not mount properly. In both regular mode and in DISC MODE it shows up momentarily on my Apple desktop, but as soon as iTunes loads, the iPod ejects automatically from Finder. So it never appears in iTunes, and therefore cannot be restored via iTunes; and the iPod icon on my desktop is inaccessible for the few seconds that it remains "mounted".
Tried another cable; switched from powered hub to the USB2 port direct from my MacBook Pro; reinstalled iTunes; checked Software Update.
Resetting the iPod via the usual hold Menu and Select works, but this has no effect on the issue - it only resets my iPod settings so my menus get screwed up.
Switching to Disc Mode just renders the iPod itself inaccessible - it still doesn't mount so I can't check the drive contents to see if the files have been corrupted etc.
Any ideas? The iPod still plays, so it's not like the hard drive is dead . . . but I can't sync it since it won't load in iTunes before it auto-ejects.
The problem became evident after iTunes stalled during iPod sync - wheel of death. After trying to wait it out over an hour, I had to Force Quit. I then hit restart, but the laptop stalled (blue screen of death, grey progress wheel of death) and I eventually had to force reboot using the power switch to shut down. After that, the ipod wouldn't mount.
TIA

New iPad crashes Mac when syncing photos

I've got my New iPad and am attempting to sync about 1500 photos. When the sync reaches the photo portion it begins to copy the photos, however after a few are copied my mac shuts off completely to black screen - gone! This was not a problem on my iPad 2
I have tried 5 different USB cables (4 Apple, 1 other)
I have also tried both USB ports with all 5 cables
I am manually syncing albums from iPhoto
I have a MacBook Pro running SnowLeopard.
Itunes is up to date
iPad is on iOS 5.1
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kat

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.
