Restored iPad not syncing to iTunes

Had to restore my iPad, and now it does not come up in the iTunes window. Any ideas?

Hi
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps.

  • Ipad not Syncing with iTunes

    I am having increasing problems with getting my iPad to Sync with Itunes on my 17" MacBook Pro.  Both Mac OS and iTunes up to date with latest software as is the iPad.  The trouble started a couple of months ago with some apps failing to sync.  I deleted them from the iPad and then it was ok for a while, however this has repeated itself with an increasing frequency.
    Today, whenever I connect my iPad to Itunes it will not sync.  It starts with the message "Waiting to Sync" then after a while briefly displays Cancelling Sync and then stops.  If I try and move from the Summary tab in iTunes to the Apps tab I get the spinning ball of death and iTunes hangs until I either Force Quit or unplug the iPad.
    Interestingly there is no problem when I connect my wifes iPad to my Macbook Pro.  However I have the same problem when I try to connect to iTunes on her MacAir.
    I have reset my iPad's settings.  I have restarted my Mac and iPad numerous times.  I have deleted all the iPad backup files on iTunes and done just about everything I can find with respect to things even remotely similar from the web or discussion boards.  Logically I have to assume it is something on my iPad however everything else is working fine - or so it seems.
    Anybody else out there with this or a similar problem or any suggestions???
    Thanks in advance.

    I want to start off by saying the latest update is the worst piece of software I have ever tried downloading onto my computer. After three unsuccesful updates directly from Itunes I downloaded it to file and then installed three times before it succesfully installed. At this point Itunes would freeze when trying to recognize my Ipad, Ive reinstalled twice more including individual installs of Quicktime and Itunes and NOTHING is making this worthless software work. I am not impressed at all Apple, as a matter of fact I'm tempted to NEVER buy another Apple product again because of how poor this latest update is. but whatever, some help would be nice.

  • Mini ipad not sync with itunes

    I have windows 7 64 bit, itunes 11.2 and ios 7.1.1.  On May 21, 2014, I updated both my ipad 2 and mini ipad and it went into recovery mode.  I uninstalled all the programs required by apple (itunes, apple software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support ) in order by your support article HT1923.  I then reinstalled itunes and it restored my ipad and mini ipad.
    I bought a program called coptic dictionary on May 22, 2014 on my mini ipad.  I wanted to sync it to my laptop without wifi using itunes.  But the application was not showing on my laptop.  I was able before the recovery problem occured sync my mini ipad and ipad 2 with itunes without wifi.  Now I have to use wifi to sync.    Why is that?
    Is there a way to sync apps that are bought on the ipad to itunes without wifi.  If so how?  Thanks

    Hi 7Pep4,
    Take a look at the article below it will walk you through syncing to iTunes with the USB adapter cable.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Sync using USB
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

  • ITunes U content from iPad not syncing to iTunes

    I have a couple of iTunes U courses on my iPad (downloaded using my iPad) which I couldn't transfer to my iTunes library during normal sync. The iTunes ID I used for downloading is the same  iTunes ID that is authorized on my Mac mini iTunes.
    Why doesn't iTunes transfer these purchases back to the iTunes library?

    Same thing...I have iTunes U courses on my iPhone, but they are not syncing over to my iTunes library.

  • Books purchased on ipad not syncing with itunes

    I have a purchased around 20 or so books on my ipad. I bouth them over time. The books that I purchased earlier in the year synced as normal and show up in tunes. The last 10 or so books will not show up in itunes?

    Do they copy over if you do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) ? If they are still in the store thne you should also be able to re-download them on your computer via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • IPad not syncing when iTunes 11 in miniplayer mode

    Our iPad2 will not wirelessly sync to the MBP when iTunes 11 is in miniplayer mode.  Is anyone else seeing this?  Can it be fixed?

    Yes, me too.

  • Ipad not syncing to itunes and computer recognises it as a camera

    please help

    If the computer sees it, then that's good. It means the connection is good. Try using different USB ports for your iPad. You can also try uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. Your computer sees it, iTunes doesn't, which means iTunes just needs to 'refind' it.
    That's what the uninstalling/reinstalling might do.
    Also, if you're plugged into a hub or extender, try plugging it directly into your computer box.

  • IPad Mini Retina not syncing with iTunes

    My iPad Mini Retina has not been syncing with iTunes for some time. 
    I have reset it - by holding down the home and power key.  I am using the new Macbook Air 2014 - because it has crashed on a few occasions it has also been restarted recently. 
    I am running IOS 7.1.2 on the Mini and 11.3 on the Mac Air.  It has stopped at various parts but the last few times has been stopping at Step 4 of the sync. A few people seem to have had this issue but I have not found a resolution yet.

  • Any apps restored to new iPod due to service will not sync with iTunes.

    I had to have a retail location replace my iPod and they restored my music and apps from the old one to the new one. Since then, when I plug my device into my computer the 'Apps' tab in iTunes will not allow me to manipulate the screens of my iPod. The image remains dim and I cannot switch to different screens or touch the apps. Any apps purchased since the restore are syncing with iTunes without a problem. There is the option to sync iTunes to my iPod but that will cause me to lose the apps not synced into iTunes. I hope this is specific enough! I don't want to lose my apps, please help!

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

    It has always been very basic to alway maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.
