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

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 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!

ITunes has stopped working when syncing iPad Air.

Please: someone help me....
I am at my wits ends. I have spent 3 days trying to solve this, without any success. I have really time better off than sorting stupid software problems. (Someone had a great rant, so I won't rehearse it - but it seems to me that
if there is an issues, it should at least give some clear of what the software stops!!). It seems to me that no one (NO ONE) is owning this problem There are plenty of people who have the problem, and although some suggestions, it looks to me that
there are just that - suggestions.
I have posted my problem on the Apple forum. I have not heard. But it seems to me that we (I) don't even know if it is an iTunes or a Windows problem. and now I have no idea which way to go....
Rant two ends. The problem:
I have windows 7 SP 1. iTunes 12.0.1.26. I can imports CDs and play music. But when attempting to sync,"iTunes has stopped working". It stops (usually) step 6. No doubt many of people have seen the issue. I problem have
not attempting to update since updating iTunes 12. (On the side, I have not been able to update iTunes without deleting and reinstalling it for some. Accordingly, I update with some concern, and only updated to 12 because I installed a new (different
laptop), and wanted to keep the same levels.
The steps I tried
Sync iPad Air (iOS 8.1). Failed.
Tried to sync iPhone 5S. It stopped. I then looked through the apps etc in the phone. I noticed, that my photos were not being synced (I had an issue with memory issue some months ago - now sorted - and so checked resynced them.
Tried again, and worked. Hmmm. (iPhone is at iOS 8.1)
Made changes with the apps etc on the iPad to recreate the same good result. No success.
I deleted iTunes etc (in the correct order) and reinstalled. No success. tried a number of times. (one of the definitions stupid is to try the same steps expecting a different result)
Searched google, apple and microsoft pages. Read them all. No one seems to have a clear answer to the problem, let alone the solution.
Backed up iPad, and restored iPad. No success - and now, of course the thing is now in a totally uncertain state. It won't ask for sync, but if iTunes starts, the iPad carries on.
Deleted and reinstalled iTunes etc. No success. Tried again (and again? - I have lost track)
Someone suggested going back to iTunes 11.4. Tried that (once sorted out the library files have been changed). Now, same result. (it all worked happily previously)
Tried a hard reset on the iPad. No luck
Discovered one post suggest that QuickTime may be a problem. Deleted iTunes and Quick Time. Reinstalled iTunes. No success.
Discovered turingtest's post "Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows" . Followed the steps, including deleting the folders (only Program Files (x86)/common files/apple were there) and turned off AVG. Same bad result.
Status:
I am thoroughly out of sorts. And it is Tax time, which will not improve my temper.
iTunes 12.0.1.26 installed. iCloud installed
windows 7 SP1. The PC is not asking for any updates.
Qucktime not installed
iOS 8.1.2
iPad is probably useless, until problem solved - not all photos or apps downloaded
HELP!!
iPad Air, iOS 8.1.2, Windows 7

Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up. Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer. Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

Ipad Air 128gb really slow typing

My iPad Air 128gb is really really slow when it comes to typing anything (takes a good 20 secs for writing to appear) , I have tried a reboot & reset settings but neither has worked...

If the above doesn't work, try reset all settings

My new Ipad Air 128Gb occasionally wont wake up from sleep. A hard reset cures the problem

I have a new November 1st Ipad Air 128 Gb Wifi only Ipad Air and a kensington keyboard case. Three days after purchase it wouldn't wake up from sleep. The screen was blank and nothing would work. Ipad support suggested a hard reset which restored it. Since then in the 3 weeks I have had it I have had to do three full re-sets. My previous Ipad first generation didn't need a full reset in its three year life. I have the same apps as I had on the previous model and I have about 100 GB free. There seems to be others on the net with similar problems and someone mentioned that the latest IOS7 upgrade didn't cure the problem. What do you suggest?

I would suggest not using the keyboard with the new iPad for a week or so and see if the problem goes away. If it does, I would assume that the keyboard isn't playing nice with the new iPad for some reason.

Is Apple going to fix the problem that iPad Air has with connecting to the server?

Less than a month ago I purchased a 32GB iPad Air, and for the majority of the time I have struggled with server connection. Finally I charged up my old iPad1 and got right on the server so after all the troubleshooting I did with my router I realized it was not that. Then I came to the support communities and see that many others have similar problems. One advised a process, which I followed to the letter, got on the server and then the next day was back at square one. Any helpful long term resolution advice or a ray of hope that Apple is doing something to correct this?

Ipad Air 128GB No Longer Connects to LTE

My IPAD Air 128 GB no longer ever connects to LTE, only 3G. My iphone in same location connects no problem to LTE. I have LTE turned on in the settings. The speed has so dramatically changed that the iPAD is virtually useless unless connected via hotspot.

Change both the name of the wireless network and the password
Make sure that the name of the network adheres to the following guidelines
No more than 20 characters in the name....shorter is better
Use only letters and numbers in the name....no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, etc
No blank spaces in the name
Same rules for the password
Avoid the hidden network setting if possible, as it will not keep anyone that really wants to see your network from doing so, and it does make it more difficult for some devices to connect
If the iPad still will not connect, you have an iPad problem. You may need to completely restore the operating system on the iPad, or better yet, get a new iPad if it can be exchanged.
The experts over at the Ipad Support Community might have a few more tips for you. We are not iOS experts here.

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:

Problems with iPad Air 2 as a music player

I purchased my iPad Air 2 predominantly as a music storage/playing device, to replace my ancient component stereo system. Within the first 24 hours, I was ready to return it due to the confusing display of music loaded on iTunes compared with the format on our Windows PC (which included a layer of text scrolling on top of another layer of text), and the inability to set up Playlists. We visited the Apple store where the "Genius" tech resolved the problem by reinstalling the operating system. Thereafter, the device worked well, driving one Sony speaker or a set of ear buds via Bluetooth, or two Sony speakers simultaneously over our WiFi network. The sound far exceeded our expectations. However, after accepting an "update" almost a week ago, the device became "locked" midway through setting up a Playlist, and became unusable for any action in iTunes (except adding every song I attempted to play to the same playlist, with no ability to complete the playlist, or play any music whatsoever). Also, the original iTunes display problems were back. We returned to the Apple store where the same "Genius" tech verified the problem and, believing it was unique to my device, arranged for a replacement.
The replacement (first tried at home) had the same screen problems when using the keyboard that other users have described. Setting up Playlists was again problematic. But worst of all, music wouldn't play wirelessly over either of our two speakers, or the ear buds. So, back to the Apple store, where the technician verified the screen problems, and advised the device would have to be replaced, again. Unfortunately, they had none in stock. So, while waiting for a replacement, I'm unable to play music, which means my iPad is sitting, unused. In fact, I've now been "out of service" for my primary use for more than 10 percent of the time I've owned my iPad Air 2, and I'm losing patience.
Surprisingly, the second device did "recognize" the wireless speakers in the Apple store. But, not our speakers at home. Can anyone explain why our replacement won't play music over speakers that worked flawlessly with our original iPad Air 2? Has anyone else had problems with their iPad Air 2 driving speakers or ear buds?

You can't use any iPad as a phone other than using the handoff feature with iOS 8 but you need to have an iPhone in order for that to work anyway. In addition, you have to be on the same WiFi network and signed into the same Apple ID and iCloud account.
Bottom line, you can't use the Air as a standalone phone

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

IMac will not charge/sync iPad Air - power icon oscillates between charging/not charging

Brand new iMac 27" Retina
Connecting an iPad Air (about a year old) to charge/sync/backup.
After the lightning connector is attached to the iPad Air and I reply "OK" to "Trust this computer", the charging indicator in the upper right oscillates between the running on battery indicator and the green charging indicator rapidly/constantly about 1/2 second between changes.
If I run iTunes, the device appears/disappears in the left menu/device list at the same rate.
I cannot charge the iPad when connected to the iMac (not a big deal, can use external charger), but cannot access with iTunes for sync or backup either.
Have tried cold booting both the iPad and the iMac, but that doesn't help.
Running OX X Yosemite and iOS 8.1.1

Hey rspiv,
The reason you are not getting a consistent charge on you iPad when it is connected to your iMac may be due to not being plugged into a high-powered USB port. As far as making sure that it stays connected to your iMac so you can sync with iTunes, try a different port as well as seeing if you can enable Wi-Fi syncing if it stays connected long enough. Take a look at the articles below for more information and troubleshooting options.
