New iPad won't sync via Wi-FI

I got my new iPad today, and am running the latest OS on it and my MBP.
I connected the iPad via USB and in iTunes, checked "Sync with the iPad over Wi-Fi".
I then unconnected it from USB and connected it to the power plug. It and the MBP are on the same Wi-Fi network, but the iPad does not show up in iTunes. My OLD iPad still does, but the new one doesn't.
Anyone know why the new iPad can sync ONLY via USB?

When I set up mine, first I had to hook the Ipad up to the comptuer via usb. Open iTunes and on the main page for my device, scroll down and check the 'sync over wifi' box. THen sync wired.
Then could unplug it and sync wirelessly. I basically, with the iPad hardwired, give itunes permission to sync wirelessly.
Another tip, at least with my 2, the 'must be connected to power to sync' is wrong. Mine will sync even if not on the mains. So if you have your iTunes set to 'open itunes when ipad is connected. be prepared for iTunes to, very ghost like, open randomly as you surf. Seems the iPad will reach out to the computer at a regular basis. It will open iTunes and try to sync.
Since I didn't want or need iTunes open all the time, I dechecked that part. Made my sync manual.

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...

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.

Are you using ITunes 10.5? If so have you upgraded to the OS 5 software? Now it should tell you there's an even newer upgrade to the 5.0.1 when you try to sync your iPhone or iPad. Hope this helps.

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received!

IPad won't sync; instead tells me it's syncing for 2 seconds without result

Hey
Here's my problems:
My iPad won't sync to my computer
My iPad's system time and calendar are messed up after the failed sync
What happens:
Once I connect my iPad to my PC with iTunes open, it starts to sync
Two seconds later, iTunes tells me the sync is finished
Nothing new appears on my iPad, and my the time and calander are messed up
What I've tried:
manual sync (only works for music)
reboot computer
reboot iPad
uninstal and reinstal iTunes
Info (I'm not sure if all of this is relevant):
I just switched from a 32 bit Windows XP to a 64 bit Windows 7 computer
My iTunes is also 64 bit
I'm using a different iTunes account than I was before, and I've successfully downloaded books and music with it on my iPad
The iTunes library is in the right place (it's on an external hard drive, just like it was on my old computer); I can see and play the music on my computer
I have an iPad 1, latest software update available; it's about two years old
My computer runs on 110 volts, and my iPad runs on 220 volts (I baught my iPad in europe and moved to the US a few weeks ago; I use an adapter to recharge it, which works fine)
I've tried different USB ports, all directly in my computer
Thanks for reading all this :/ Hope anyone knows whats wrong. Thanks

SOLVED
It turned out I still had apps installed from my previous iTunes account (Apple ID), which I deleted and re-installed using the new account. After that, it worked perfectly

Had to reset Ipad to factory settings, now Ipad won't sync to Itunes and apps that aren't factory installed will not open. Is there anything I can do?

Hi,
I hope someone can help. There was something wrong with my Ipad so I had to reset it back to the factory settings. Now the Ipad won't sync to Itunes and only factory installed apps will open. Does this mean that this Ipad is DOA and it is time for a new one? Or is there anything else I can do? It is a 1st generation Ipad.
Thanks for the help in advance.

if all that does not work you can always try to do a recovery mode restore back to factory settings and then set it up as a new device then try to redownlaod every thing again

My ipad won't sync photos, need help please

my ipad won't sync photos anymore, anyone out there can help

You could try clearing the photo cache.
You could also try a reset of the iPad and see if photos sync after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I had to reinstall iTunes and now my iPad won't sync.

I tried to upgrade with 11.1.4 and everything go messed up (Windows 7 user). I ended up going back to a later version of data on my computer. Then I was able to reinstall iTunes. My iPhone is syncing like it should, but my iPad won't sync. I've lost the App Sore icon and others. Not sure what to do. I refreshed my iPad but nothing is working.

attach a screenshot of the error unless that's all of the error message.
if it is, Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

Maybe the Nano you got is defective. Have it replaced.
