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?

IPad syncing problem - HELP!

iPad sync problem - HELP! I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)" and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad. This just started today. I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help. Any ideas???
I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it... should I?
thank you!

New Outlook sync problem after update!!!

I had the 'original' Outlook sync problem, which went away after the iTunes update to 7.3.1, but now, after the iPhone update last night, I have an entirely NEW Outlook sync problem!!
When I sync the iPhone, right when it gets to the 'syncing contacts' part (that you see in the top box/window in iTunes) I get an error message that I haven't seen before. It says "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has encountered a problem and needs to close..." and it gives me the option to send an error report. I dismiss the error box, and the sync process hangs, and iTunes becomes unresponsive.
If I open Outlook, the two Apple sync oblects are still enabled, and get no error message. If I re-open iTunes and try to sync again, it only syncs iTunes content, and never even tries to sync my contacts or calendar.
Anyone having anything similar since last night? The only thing different is the iPhone firmware update.

I just cancelled the sync by using the slider. I didn't realize I could do that. The phone seems fine. I may try it again and see what happens.

New iPad 2 problem syncing calendars

I've got my brand new iPad 2 and the setup went well with the exception of syncing the calendar to the Mac Calendar on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. Just the regular Mac Calendar. Tried several options on the iTunes info page to no avail. iPad is hardwired to Mac via the supplied cable. No error msgs or anything - just nothing shows up on the ipad. What should I try to diagnose the problem?
thanks for any help.

iTunes 10.5 and iOS version 5 for the iPad are currently only available to developers as you suspect - so you will need to be a registered developer in order to use them (and get questions answered about them in the developer's forum https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa). Presumably you got the iPad off a developer, in which case see if he/she can help you - but I'm not sure that an iPad can be downgraded from iOS 5 (?)

The New Ipad Air Problem with Yahoo Messenger Webcam

I installed yahoo messenger in my new ipad air. The webcam is not working. Please suggest me how to fix it. Thanks

First thing to try is a reset: Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
If that doesn't work, you might try getting hold of Yahoo since it's their app that's causing the problem. Try searching on Google for others who've solved it.

ipad sync problems

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

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.

Iphone/Ipad Syncing Problems

When I plug my iphone into the computer I keep getting the following message."Itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. Reconnect or try again later." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to correct it?

I have done this but the probelm persists. The issue only seems to be with my Iphone 4 as my ipad syncs fine.
This article mentioned outlook which I don't use and unplugging all my USb devices. I can't do that as all my itunes data is on a portable HD connected to the computer via USB.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

IPad Sync problem with new iTunes 12.1.0.50

I just installed iTunes 12.1.0.50 and for the first time I can't sync with my iPad 1 (IOS 5.1.1) which worked for years prior to this iTunes update. Every time i connect my device through USB cable my iTunes stops working with a message it cannot not connect and can't find location for device and I have to force quit the application. I have reset my iPad, I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and tried multiple times to get this message to disappear and sync my iPad device like I use to. It looks like the sync works with my iPhone 6.
Does anyone know a fix or having the same problem?
MacAir IOS X Yosemite 10.10.2
iTunes 12.1.0.50 (just installed)
iPhone 6 128gb IOS 8.1.3
iPad 1 IOS 5.1.1

Bt hub 3, itunes, iphone, ipad syncing problems - not seen

Im using the new infinity BT hub 3 and there are now issues with syncing the iphone, ipad and itunes. iTunes does not see them as devices consistantly and when it does (looking for "device"), it says it is not available to sync (not found on the network) and promply they disappear from the upper right hand corner. BT say it's an itunes issue.
I have tried changing from WPA to WEP but this doesn't work, nor does plugging the computer into the ethernet.
The devices show as being on the network by the router, but are not available to sync in itunes
What do we think people? Any ideas to fix this?

As a fallback you could try using the usb cable rather than wifi.
However to you main problem with the wifi. I to have BT infinity and not only was I having issues with not seeing the devices but also a slow speed of streaming to Apple TV3.
Turns out my issue was interference on the wifi from other wifi networks on the same channel.
Mountain Lion has a new wifi utility details here
http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/31/use-mountain-lions-new-wi-fi-scan-utility-to-optim ize-your-home-wireless-network/
Found thayt there seemed to be 3 or 4 houses on channel 6, Changed mine to channel 11, via the BT hub admin page. When everyting settled down again plugged in my devices via USB made sure they were wifi sync enabled and now all works as it should.
If you do not run mountain lion then look for istumbler on google, does the same job and its free

Removing audio from ipad: Sync problem

Hi,
I've got my ipad set to sync manually - so I simply drag and drop whatever I want from itunes into the device. I put in a playlist/cd from my itunes library but was having trouble with the cd cover image associated with it. So, I changed the image and dragged and dropped AGAIN into the ipad. (A window popped up, asking if I was sure I wanted to replace, etc, I said yes and proceeded.)
Now, though I've deleted the cd from the ipad contents tree inside of itunes (while the ipad is connected) and re-synced, the cd and playlist are still showing up in the ipad.
Wait - an idea. I'm disconnecting the ipad from the computer and I'll try re-syncing it....
Nope, no luck. Same problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Peace,
Glenn

You have to authorize the new computer to your iTunes account.

ITunes/iPad sync problem?

I've been syncing my ipad fine over the last few months, at least 2 or 3 times week, but today iTunes has suddenly decided that it doesn't want to. It says that I need to uninstall iTunes, then install the 64-bit version.. which is what this version should be anyway..
I've installed nothing new on my PC (Windows 7) and i've even tried turning it off and on again.
Anyone had this problem?

Sorry. I didn't realzie that the "other" came back as well. That is an indication that you are syncing something corrupt. Sometimes the only way to get rid of that huge "Other" content is to restore as new and start all over again....sometimes that is, not always, but sometimes, that's what you have to do.
Obviously something is getting corrupted so unless you can pin down for sure what it is, I recommend restoring as new, and start adding things back to the iPad in small increments and see how it goes. That includes adding music back in small bits as well.
