Problems syncing ipad mini 3

My iPad mini 3 says there is not enough room to sync in iTunes, yet my iPad says there is 21 GB and the bar when connected say 21 GB. I was trying to sync one 1.5GB movie and it says there is not enough space. Ideas?

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

Hi,
I have the check box on a second Partition but not on the Time Machine one
I forget what I did now to get this called "Recovery HD"
For the rest try https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4055 User Tip that links to Pondini's work on Time Machine.

Hey there nemesyssoft!
Congrats on the new iPad! It's a great device! We certainly want you to be able to use the device as soon as possible. If I may ask, were you still having issues connecting to the data network at all? Activation can take be a bit longer the initial time. Please let us know if you still need assistance.

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!!)

Some of the suggestions in this support article might help.
iOS Device Not Recognized in iTunes for Windows.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
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 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:

Syncing ipad mini with google contacts

Hi Folks
Well back in the iOs ownership with an ipad mini. My day to day mobile is a moto razr droid and i have my contacts linked with google contacts. I have also linked my hotmail account to share google contacts. When i view both sets they match my mobile.
On the ipad mini i have set my mail as hotmail and tis works fine, i have sync'd my contacts to iCloud and Hotmail. This is where the probs are. The ipad address book shows an out dated list. when i go to groups and uncheck iCloud so that it shows only hotmail contacts it doesn't match the contact i have on hotmail.
Can't fing where to force a sync either. Both accounts are set to push sync.
Have searched online and spend the evening trying to sort, any help greatly appreciated. ps at the mo not using itunes. just OTA sync.
Neil

I have had a similar problem. I can't find "contacts cleaner" in versiontracker. Is this an iphone app?

Any way to recover Pages documents on disabled, never-synced iPad Mini or connect it to network so Lost message will appear?

Hi,
Apologies for the long post. For my three questions, please skip to the bold copy below. The first couple paragraphs are preamble.
Yesterday I unwittingly--and dimwittedly--disabled my 2012 iPad Mini by entering my password too many times. (Or rather my coat pocket and Bluetooth keyboard did it as I walked all over town, unaware of what they were up to. The activated keyboard in one pocket continually woke the sleeping iPad in my other pocket, the iPad kept demanding a password, and in the jostling I must have entered password after password. Finally it disabled because I'd set it to do so. I didn't know it was permanent though. I thought it would ask me to try again in a few hours. My oversight.)
I'm desperate to get my Pages documents off the iPad, which I've never backed up on iCloud or synced with iTunes. (My Macbook went belly up in July and I couldn't afford both a new computer and the more portable iPad--so I just bought the iPad and the Pages app.) Until December I was emailing myself the Pages manuscripts I was working on, but a few weeks ago I got lazy about this, and now I've lost a month's worth of work. I couldn't be madder at myself.
The Genius Bar gave me only the Erase/Restore option, which I can't bring myself to do. So I tried a couple third-party apps (Dr. Fone and Phone Unlocker) on my office iMac. But both require me to tell the iPad to "Trust this Mac" when the iPad shows the prompt--which the iPad doesn't do because it's completely disabled. The only words that ever appear onscreen are "iPad is disabled" and "Connect to iTunes."
So I'm scouring my brain for solutions:
1) Is there any hope of re-enabling the iPad while preserving the data, maybe by starting a restore process in iTunes and aborting before data is erased? Then maybe the password field will show up again and I can type in the correct one?
2) Or, even better, is there a way to connect the iPad to a network via the Lightning connector or even by taking it apart and hooking it up to something or other? (WiFi was on when I last used the iPad, though I don't have a cellular plan.) I ask because if I can get it online, then it will get the Lost iPad message I sent via Find My iPhone (in iCloud), and presumably the password field will show up on the iPad (along with my phone number), allowing me to enter the password once I've marked it as Found. But the iPad will only receive my message to it if it's connected to a network--which it can't do while disabled.
3) Is there any chance that in the next few months or years someone will figure out a solution (maybe a better recovery software) that will let me access my documents again? I just can't delete them, even if it means putting it in a drawer and saving up for a new iPad.
Many, many thanks for any suggestions, no matter how outlandish. I'm desperate!

Hi Brian
I had the same exact thing happen to me - except it was my wireless keyboard that disabled my ipad. I also have documents on Pages that I did not want t to lose. This worked for me! Found it on another help site....I was able reactivate my ipad - nothing lost - all is good!
1. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
2. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
3. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
4. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
5. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
6. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
7. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Problem syncing ipad to itunes..

I have a problem syncing my Ipad via my Mac....I'm trying to transfer Keynote files from Mac to Ipad and I get a message that says "the Ipad could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"...anyone got any bright ideas?

You need to upgrade to OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I do beleive the apple store still sells the snow leo discs online.

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

Music problems on iPad mini

I have an iPad mini and when tap on a song in a playlist, the song above it plays, help me!

I followed the suggestion to turn shuffle on and then off again and it fixed the problem.
Good luck! :-)

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
