Problem syncing 2 ipads

I have an iPad 1 and 2 but I am having problems syncing different apps to each iPad. When I connect to iTunes it attempts to sync the previously attached iPad apps. Am I missing something obvious? Each iPad has a unique name. I would appreciate any advise.

You went to the apps tab and selected the apps that you want?
You deselected the automatically sync new apps box?

  • Problems syncing iPad photos and Aperture

    I think my iPod Photo database is corrupting for some reason as I keep getting intermittent problems syncing photos from Aperture across to my iPad.
    Running Lion 10.7 on a Mac Mini with Aperture 3.1.3 and each time I get the error if I delete the iPod Photo folder it will do a full resync the next time I connect, but with over 5000 photos it takes some time.
    Anyone had a similar problem or know why it might be doing it?
    Thanks

    From your words "syncing with my old iMac" it appears that you are now syncing to a different computer. What might work for directly imported photos (emailed, CCK, screen shots) is to connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on the iPad in the left part of iTunes and select the backup option. When that is complete then you right click and select transfer purchases. Then let iTunes erase the Ipad and replace it with the contents of iTunes on the new computer and then restore from backup
    Photos synced to the iPad are not included in the backup and those will be lost unless you can get them from your original computer. However, there may be some third-part computer programs that can get the synced photos off the iPad.
    For what are in backups see:

  • I just brought a new macbook pro but am hving problems syncing ipad/iphone 4

    i just got my new macbook pro. i used my time machine to back up old macbook and then used it to put all my files on new one but when i try to sync ipad i get transfere purchaes .. but when i do that all my things say there not allowed on this mac as im not autherised... erm my mac my ipad my files.. same itunes account logged into both.. whats the problem??? and the other option is to erase and sync .. but i would lose 2 movies and a tv serries plus music and apps????

    Try de authorizing your old mac and then authorising your new mac, that will sort all your apps out in the purchased section, regarding all your data, films etc on your ipad/iphone you will have to use a programme to get the  data from your iphone to new mac.  i had the same problem, i used to an app called "pod to Mac" which did the job for me by taking all my data off my iphone 4 and putting it onto my mac, i then opened the files on my mac with the relevant programmes like itunes etc and then synced my iphone to my new mac.
    hope that helps

  • Problems syncing iPad or iPad Mini with iTunes......

    It all started when I tried to download some items bought on iTunes onto my iPad 2. For some reason it kept going through the download sequence then at the last moment they failed. Unfortunately I was nowhere near my computer at the time. After a couple of appointments at the Genius Bar I found I could download the items if the iPad was set up from 'New' - not much use as I wanted all my old apps back on. I sold the iPad in favour of an iPad Mini and had access to a computer too. Again, I could not download bought media from the Cloud but additionally I found I couldn't sync other Movies and TV Shows through iTunes.
    The common denominator was my iCloud account - more specifically my iPad back-up on iCloud (my iPhone worked fine). If I set up an iPad as a 'New Ipad' during a complete and full restore then transferring media with iTunes was OK. However, as soon as I did a restore from my iCloud back up, iTunes and iPad refused to 'talk'. It seemed there was something corrupt in my iPad's iCloud account. The only solution was to delete that part of the account and 'reinstall' it. Here is how I achieved it on iTunes 11.0.2;
    1.     Carry out an iCloud back up (just in case!).
    2.     Plug iPad into computer/iTunes.
    3.     On the iPad Summary page, select to back up to computer (encrypt back-up is up to you).
    4.     Click the button to 'Back Up Now'.
    5.     On the top menu bar select 'File', then 'Devices', then 'Transfer Purchases From ****'s iPad'. This can take some time depending on the size of the iPad.
    6.     At this point all the iPad settings and apps should all be saved (and on iCloud too!).
    7.     On the iPad Summary page click to restore iPad. At this point the computer may have to download the operating system from the internet first which can take a time depending on your internet connection.
    8.     Once restore is complete follow instructions on computer/iPad UNTIL.....
    9.     .....when it offers to set up iPad as New or from iCloud or Computer back up ensure you select COMPUTER BACK-UP.
    10.     Again, it will take an age as all the settings and app transfer back onto your iPad.
    11.     Once done have a go at transferring some media such as a film or TV show and all should be good now.
    If happy then its time to ditch that iCloud problem....
    12.     on the iPad go into 'Settings', then 'iCloud', then 'Storage & Backup', then 'Manage Storage' and there should be a list devices that back-up to the iCloud. Select the correct iPad that you have been having problems with.
    13.     At the bottom of the page is the option to 'Delete Backup'. Select this and that should be your 'problem' gone.
    14.     I at this stage restarted the iPad and computer and made sure all was well and they were still 'talking' to each other.
    15.     If you wish you can then go ahead and re-establish an iCloud back-up of your iPad. Once the backup is complete do one final check to ensure iTunes and iPad 'talk' properly.
    JOB DONE!! (Hopefully!!)

    If this happens to me - I quit iTunes, restart my Mac, restart the iPad and then try again and that always works for me. It's a little different in the Windows OS because there are a number of other issues that can be causing this problem, but you have nothing to lose with the "restart everything" approach.

  • Problems syncing ipad, problems syncing ipad

    Hi There,
    I have just bought a 27" Mac and would like to Sync my ipad to it. The problem that I have is I keep getting a message that says unable to sync because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library. I have flagged the things that I want to sync and it only fills up half of the 64G that I have avaliable. This is the first time that I have had a mac and the first time that I have tried to sync, Im not sure of whats wrong. Any assistance would be appreciated

    I think I know what I did, I downloaded the update early from online and now it wants to restore to that download which I have deleted, if I click Shift+Restore is the official apple update file somewhere for me to select?

  • Problems syncing Ipad to itunes

    When I plug my Ipad into my computer to sync it to itunes, itunes tells me to first type in my ipad password on my ipad, the problem is that the window to put in a password will not show up on my ipad screen, and all that shows up is the syncing screen. I have tried to reset both the ipad and the computer numerous times but it won't work. What should I do to fix this problem?

    Hi and welcome....
    Try this... tap Settings in your Home screen then tap General / Passcode Lock. Tap Passcode Lock then tap Never.
    And in Settings / General / Restrictions. Make sure that's turned off.
    Now restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Now try syncing with iTunes.
    Please take a moment and click *My Settings* on the right side of this window and tell us what model computer you are using and which operating system. That way you will have a forum profile setup for now and in the future. Thanks! Some of the troubleshooting advice we suggest depends on whether you are Mac or Windows.

  • Problems syncing iPad Air with iTunes 12.1

    I cannot seem to get my iPad Air to sync with 12.1 so there is no way to properly back up and no way to upload any new content.  Please help.

    I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
    It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

  • Problem syncing ipad air 128gb

    Initially syncing was Ok with limited volumes of music and apps. As I have added more music/files/movies/apps syncing became problematical and now does not work at all. I am manually syncing selected items via direct link (not wi-fi) and am only using half the storage.  Sometimes after a long delay it refuses to start with a message simply stating the obvious. Sometimes it starts and completes the stage 2 backup and terminates at the end of the backup without an error message. Syncing has always been problematical across the entire range of Apple products.  Time consuming and frustrating and spoils the experience of an otherwise excellent product. Apple must be aware of the problem looking at the number of threads available.

    If the above doesn't work, try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

  • Problems syncing ipad to iTunes on PC?

    I have recently purchased an iPad mini, but don't seem to be able to connect it to iTunes on my PC?  My PC is running windows XP and the iPad iOS 7.0.4.  When I connect the iPad to the PC the iPad asks if I trust the computer, which I click on the ,Trust, button, but it then doesn't seem to do anything else!  Can anyone please offer an answer? 

    I believe you need Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8 and iTunes version 11.x

  • Problems syncing iPad since updating to new version of iTunes

    Ever since updating to the new version of iTunes yesterday afternoon, my iPad refuses to sync with my iMac.  Instead, it simply gives me the message "The iPad cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-50)."  I have tried completely restarting my iPad, my iMac, and my wireless network, and nothing works.  I'm getting more than a little irritated.  Anybody have any advice on how to rectify this issue, short of praying that Apple issues a fix in six months?

  • Problem Syncing Ipad to new computer without losing data

    Hi
    I realise this has been covered many times - so im sorry for covering really old ground but im not very apple savvy and im struggling rather
    Im trying to sync my ipad1 to a new pc - and strangely syncing is fine but whenever i try to apply chnages to my library I get "this ipad is synced to another library.... erase and resync"
    now i understand i can only have the ipad linked to one itunes library and i need to switch it to this one - So ive been following the common instructions - like these https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3770542
    but im a little confused what u do following the restore.
    After restore I get the - "sset up a new ipad and another option to restore the backup.
    Should I be starting my ipad afresh and then resyncing to my library? ive tried restoring the backup but i just get the same erase and resynce warning described above - so i assume this isnt right
    im just a little concerned that my ipad library will be reset after starting afresh
    thanks in advance and sorry for asking a question on a subject thats been covered many times

    All apps should be in your iTunes library - stored in the iTunes named folder where all other iTunes content is stored. 3rd party apps are stored in a Mobile Applications named folder located at the first level within in the iTunes folder. You can transfer the Mobile Applications folder from your backup placing it in the new iTunes folder with iTunes quit when doing so.
    If you don't want to do this, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    Next and without syncing, right-click on your iPhone in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up.
    If you transfer the iTunes named folder from your backup to the same location on your restored computer's hard drive with iTunes quit when doing so, your iPhone should not be erased of all iTunes content with the first sync.

  • Problem: linking iTunes to Photoshop Elements after upgrading to iOS 7.3.4 to sync iPad to Albumns in Organiser.

    Since upgrading to iOS 7.0.3.4 I can link to Folders but not to Albums in Photoshop Elkements 11.
    Is Apple aware of this bug and can we expect that it will be corrrected in due course?
    Has anyone got a fix?
    I can Export Albums from Organiser to Adobe Revel and then iTunes recognises the Album - but Revel only recognises JPEG files and they have to be small as exporting is such a slow process.
    I can import a PDF file to my iPad containing a photo slide show previously created with Elements Organiser - it finds its way to the Books app.

    Thanks:  I did not make it clear that the acquisition of Revel was subsequent to the onset of my problem - Revel is an attempt to work around the problem.
    When using iOS 6 the link from iPad to Photosdhop Elements  - Organiser - Albums via iTunes worked perfectly - I could sync iPad with iTunes no trouble. Upgrade to iOS 7 and iTunes - Photos showed the title of the Album but contained no photos. After exporting an Album from Orgniser to Revel the photos automatically re-appeared in the iTunes albums list.
    Have you any other suggestions?
