OSX 10.8.3 no iPad connection in IBA or iTunes using iOS 6.1.3

These two pieces of software are not working with iBooks Author (latest versions on both hardware), they were until these two upgraded. This is crucial, I am trying to complete a book this week for publication. Please help.
1) reboots, syncs, everything has been done.
2) iPad only recognised by Mac if rebooted and only in iTunes and only if connectedd by cable. (iPhone using same sofware is perfectly normal, connects by wi-fi and cable, always recognised).
Please urgent help needed to resolve.

I saw a failed download in iTunes (iPad) and retried to download this song.
This went ok. Then back to the AppStore and whala it all works again.
Maybe it was an error with Apple, I don't know.

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

How to look up in an iPhone back up and modify the set up by using an iPad connected on the same iTunes account?

I Just broke my iPhone 5s screen and I have no more access to any information saved in it. I would like to check my SMS. I was thinking maybe I could check my phone by using iTunes saves... Any clue on how to do?

I managed to set up an account manually on the C7 but I had to trick the email application by entering an invalid email address and password. After it could not find my account it then opened up all the settings and permitted me to add the manual IMAP settings, reply to address and other details. After I committed the settings, the phone recognised the account as a gmail account and it locked down all the settings again so I could not go back and change them if wrong.
I was quite chuffed with myself for seemingly resolving all my issues.....but on using the new account settings I could not sync the gmail sent / bin folders. All the other folders synchronised fine and when I send email it has the correct reply to address. Strangely this matches the best results I obtained when connecting using the Mail for Exchange settings so am no further forward. I am a little confused by this as when I let the phone set up the Gmail account on it's own it can sync everything.....but I just can't
I am now hoping that the new software update (PR1.2) gets email working a little better....well when I eventually get it hehe.

How can I connect my iPhone 4 while using IOS 7 that requires a USB 3.0?

I've been trying to connect my iPhone 4 (IOS 7) using a USB 2.0 Cable. I've jumped to the conclusion that I need a USB 3.0 cable to connect to my computer, in order to sync my files and music. I thought about splicing a USB 2.0 cable;31 pin connector that connect's to my iPhone 4, and using the other end of the USB 3.0 cable to connect to my computer.
The only problem is, is that I'm curious if that is a solution that will/would work?
I would love to have someone help me with this problem!
Thanks,
Steven Rupe
P.S.: My iPhone 4 (IOS 7) does not work with a USB 2.0 cable.

Download the latest itunes into your computer and install it.Do not connect the iphone before intallation.After intalling, connect your iphone with usb 2.0 and wait for the drivers to install in your pc.Open and Click on the iphone bar on the upper right of itunes software and synchronise with your pc and you are ready.

My Macbook won't connect to web or iTunes

My MacBook is acting twitchy in that it won't connect to websites or iTunes using Firefox or Safari, with either AirPort or ethernet. But yet, it will connect to Skype with no problem. What should I look for to troubleshoot?

forgot to mention, my internet work just fine, like chrome, games all works, its just safari and itunes wont connect

IPad connection to MacBook

To connect the mini iPad ( and synchronize the content) to my MacBook, i need last version of itunes on the computer. And it requires installation of Mac osx 10.6.8 (or more recent version).
But the installation of macOSX 10.6.8 fails on the computer!
Do you think it is due to the age of the MacBook? I think I bought it in 2006 .

iPad starts charging, and then the connection drops
Try a different USB cable from the iPad to your Mac to test.
Have you thought of using iCloud to sync data between your Mac and iPad instead? That way you don't have to connect the iPad to your Mac and sync using iTunes.
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
You get 5GB's of storage for free.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

IPad connection issue after iOS 8 upgrade

I Have an iPad 3G - WiFi- and recently upgraded to IOS 8. Every since connection bounces from 3G to "no service" (AT&T provider). I have been able to get reconnected only by choosing "Reset Settings". I previously powered off and restarted with no resolution. Found article that mentioned this same issue but said it only was issue in iphone 6. Anyone else have a similar experience or easier solution? I rely on iPad for work and really need a solution that doesn't involve frequent resets....

I have been to Apple store twice now on this issue. We have tried all of the above suggestions-- restore, network reset, re-installing SIM card-- and the problem always returns. The Genius Bar tech told me the IOS update brought out a latent problem hidden in the firmware -- in other words, it is a problem caused by Apple, but not everyone experiences this problem. The tech also told me there was nothing more that could be done, short of buying a new ipad. I asked about going back to the earlier IOS version but she said Apple will not allow that at this point. So it sounds to me like a "forced obsolescence" thing that Apple has inflicted on me: they admit their update brought out a problem, previously unmanifested, which had always been lurking in their firmware-- but their solution is that I need to ditch my ipad 2 and buy a new ipad. I never had this type of issue before the upgrade. the problem is more of a nuisance/inconvenience than anything else, because it can be rectified by powering down every few hours, so it's not worth it to me to spend hundreds on a new ipad. And anyway if this is an example of their customer service I'm not sure I will stay with Apple when it finally is time to buy a new tablet.

Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

On Safari, ipad connects to the internet. But when in applications such as Keynote, I try to e-mail presentattion it doesnt work.

I am a teacher and have my own iPad with a data plan. We also have a router in teh classroom for wifi, and it has a very strong signal. On Safari, the ipads can connect to the internet. But when in applications such as Keynote and HTML Egg, I try to e-mail presentat. or post website to web, it doesnt work. I tried re-setting the proxies and the router, no luck. Please Help! I am a teacher and want my students to be able to post their websites on to the web, and e-mail themselves and their parents their Keynote Presentations.

Try this. Turn your iPad Off. Then disconnect the power going to the router for 30 seconds or longer. Then replug the power to the router (allow it to initialize) and turn On the iPad. Hopefully everything will connect. If not, see below.

Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

HT201413 I Installed iTunes on Windows XP laptop, connected my iPad 3. When opening iTunes I only get the list LIBRARY STORE and PLAYLIST. But I can not see a tab "devices" where mu iPad appears??

HI, I need help to transfer a vidoe from my laptop Windows XP to iPad3. Installed iTunes. Opened iTunes, Connected PC and iPad. iTunes does not show iPad under a "Devices" category ? Why?? How do I transfer the vidoe. PC does show pictures that are on the iPad when I open the iPad files.

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

Wifi problems. I am using my ipad connected to a secure server. I keep having connection problems. My ipad shows I am connected, but I can't use the internet at all. I keep getting a not connected message. Help

I am using my ipad on a secure network. I have problems staying connected. It shows I'm connected with full bars but I can't use the internet. I turn the wireless off, reset the network and turned off the ipad, but this problem keeps happening. (Its been going on about 2 weeks) Any ideas?

Sayingyou went through all the steps of fixing provides us with little information see we do not know what step you tried.
- Have you reset your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powered off and then back on your router?
