Sync iTunes on PC to my iPad no longer working

I used to be able to sync my iTunes library on my PC to my iPad (wifi was a bit problematic at times but USB always worked) but now when I plug in a USB cable I get a warning popup on the PC. It says the iPad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. The problem is that the key features of iTunes, my reasons for using it apart from syncing, were removed in version 11. I tried it briefly but I had to downgrade back to 10.7. So, how do I sync my PC (with iTunes 10.7) with my iPad2 (with iOS 7)?

Having a similar problem. Did you solve this problem?

Ihave synced my IPAD to my IMAC and the password on my IPAD no longer works. Can anybody help?

I synced my IPAD 2 to my IMAC and my password on my IPAD no longer works. My IPAD is disabled for longer and longer after each password I try. I have tried my IMAC password and also my APple ID password. Can anybody help?

If you can't remember the passcode that you set on it (which won't be the same as your iTunes or Mac passwords unless you set it the same), then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
You will be using your original AppleID and password. that works for any computer you own now or in the future. Do not make a new appleID.

I'm going to see if Currys can remove all info from my hard drive and hopefully recover my itunes, but if this does not work is there another way to get them?

The computer not working in no way means the drive is inaccessible.
Place the drive in an external enclosure.
Use the backup of the computer to restore the data to the new computer.

I also have an iPod Touch. It appears in iTunes but willnot sync... "unknown error 1723"
This is a recent problem. Everything was fine initially, and I don't think that I've done anything to change my setup.

IPad won't sync: iTunes could not backup the iPad because a session-

I can no longer sync an iPad with iTunes. Each time I try, I get the following error dialog from iTunes:
iTunes could not back up the iPad "Name of iPad" because a session could not be started with the iPad.
I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) on Mac OS X 10.6.5 Build 10H574, iPad WiFi + 3G running iOS 4.2.1 (8C148). iPad sync settings: Manually manage music and videos, address book/iCal/email/bookmarks all done via MobileMe, Sync Apps yes, Sync Music no, Sync Movies no, Sync TV Shows no, Sync Podcasts no, Sync iTunes U no, Sync Books no, Sync photos from iPhoto no.
I'm looking for a fix that will respect the app sync settings and not force all the unchecked apps from my computer back to the iPad. Suggestions appreciated!

So typically I don't reply, or post comments on forums but seeing as how the 4.3 update has screwed up syncing with the iPad, I thought i'd share what I just went through for the last 4.5 hrs!!!
So finally did the update on 5/24/11...everything was great, until I tried to add movies to my iPad... had the same error about not backing up the iPad beacause a session...so I went and deleted the photo cache....did nothing.
Then I found another post stating to try and "close" any apps running in the background (double clicking on the home button and pressing the minus) that apparently worked for some....NOT ME
SO THEN, I saw another post about turning the iPad off and the back on...guess what happened when I did that?!?!?! Ohh it got STUCK in the little thinking mode..you know after you swipe to power off...the little circle icon...stayed like that for 30 min...so I found another post saying that I needed to restore my iPad...umm lil prob COULDN'T CONNECT W IT LIKE THAT!!! So then i decided to hard reboot it (hold down the home button and the lock button on top) that at least stopped the thinking thing and brought my iPad back up
So I tried to sync again...NOW i was getting the error message of this iPad is already synced to another iTunes library...only given option of cancel or erase and sync?!?!? ***?? NO IT ISN'T LAST BACK UP WAS LAST WEEK AFTER I DID THE STUPID 4.3 UPDATE!!!!
FINALLY-I unchecked syncing movies...and synced my iPad...finally worked with no errors....double checked the backupdate(edit>iTunes preferences>devices and had today!!! So i thought well whatever it was backed up today if it erases and syncs all the info will be the same...will prob take an hour to re-sync all my apps, music, and movies...but at least it will be done.
AND VIOLA!!! IT WORKED...AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT DID ERASE BC WATCHING THE STATUS BAR IN ITUNES IT ONLY SHOWED THAT IT ADDED MY MOVIES!!!
I really hope this posts helps some people!!! AND APPLE IF YOU SEE THIS....FIX THE 4.3 UPDATE FOR THE IPAD!!!!!!!!!

How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

Cannot sync iTunes U lecture videos to iPad Air

iTunes U lecture video link
https://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/image-processing-reconstruction/id547294162 ?mt=10
I have this problem that cannot be fixed, no matter what I tried.
For most of the videos downloaded from iTunes U, I can sync from iTunes in Windows 7 to iPad Air fine. However, the videos from the link above can only be synced for the 2nd lecture while the rest have the error "were not copied to the iPad ... because they cannot be played on this iPad".
So, I tried to convert first using iTunes, make iPad version. That didn't work.
I downloaded Handbrake and used the preset "iPad" and "Universal", and that also didn't work. (at this point, I tried to encode using Handbrake with different presets for at least 4 hours).
It keeps saying "... because they cannot be played on this iPad".
So I tried to do the last thing on my mind, download the video lectures directly through my iPad. It worked, it kept the all the files (except the 2nd lecture which is "Processing" indefinitely, ironically).
However, the next time I synced it with iTunes to transfer more files (PDFs), the video lectures downloaded directly were wiped since it didn't download it through iTunes (the first time it copied the files from iPad to iTunes while the second time it wiped the video lectures from my iPad, except for the 2nd lecture that can be transferred).
My problem is... how is it possible that iPad can play the file yet iTunes still report an error that it cannot be played? Please keep in mind I tried re-encoding it numerous time already.
How can I keep the video lectures file on my iPad without downloading it through my iPad everytime I want to watch it after I sync my iPad with iTunes?

Stumbled onto information from another forum. MAYBE this is the problem, but what are solution options? What I did confirm is that ALL of the podcasts and iUniversity files that will not sync are MPEG 4 files. Let me know your thoughts.
Taken from another conversation to someone having a similar issue:
I just downloaded a full HD podcast video from iTunes to my iPad and desktop computer. Both of these videos play just fine. When I synced the iPad to my desktop computer iTunes would not transfer the video to the iPad. The video is 1920x1080, this outside the guideline for iTunes to transfer the video to the iPad.
The iPad is capable of playing a 1080p videos. When i need to send a 1080p to my ipad I use the GoodReader app to do so. It is iTunes (on the desktop) that is placing these restrictions on the videos that can be transfer to the iPad.
If you want to you can voice your opinion to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I had my music stored on iTunes on my laptop, which is no longer working, so I bought an iPad, but cannot work out how to transfer my music files from my iPod to my iPad. Why is there no way of connecting one to the other??? Frustrated

I had my music stored on iTunes on my old laptop which is no longer working. I purchased an iPad 2 but don't understand why there is no way of connecting my iPod to my iPad to transfer my music over. Is there an app or something I can use to operate my iPod through my iPad, instead of a PC? If not, then I guess I should've bought a new lap top instead of an iPad.

Select all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

Ipod Worked by voice control in my Ford Sync, then I connected to Itunes to update and voice control no longer works!

My Ipod worked by voice control when it was connected to my Ford Sync. I connected to Itunes to update and transfer music and voice control no longer works. Help?

Its is a 5th Generation Ipod Classic with video NOT a NANO!

While updating to IOS5.0.1, the itunes did not recognize the IPAD and stopped working

I was updating my IPAD, after backing the IPAD content, the iTune wrote a message "Preparing IPAD for update" and stuck for a while and I got
a message on my computer USB device not recognized and stuck. I tried many time on different computer with different genuine Apple cables
but failed. And I got this picture above. Is there a solution, and I read couple of similar complaints?

I did not get any reply but I am working on the problem, so this may help, so read this first:
Go to Device Manager and you have a listing of all your hardware components
Plug in your iPhone. Now you will see 2 listings that say something like "Apple Recovery" Mode in YELLOW, right-click, then click "uninstall", you need to do this to both, they should disappear now.
Next, you will expand the "Universal Serial Bus Adapters" at the bottom, which will give you a long listing, and look for the USB related devices. Look for "USB Composite Device" in this listing.
This is the tricky part because everybody is going to have different hardware from different manufacturers and the listing is going to be called something different but if you can figure out which are your USB ports then you are in business!
You will see 2 "USB Composite Device" choose the first one and right-click the "USB Composite Device" and click "Update Driver" Choose " Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next on the next screen choose "Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install" and click Next and you will see 2 drivers listed and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) "and install. If you don't see 2 drivers listed then CANCEL and choose the second "USB Composite Device" and follow the above instructions and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) " to install. It should work now perfectly.
Let me know if it works for you. Thanks!;)
But I found the iboot driver,you get it like that:
Select the USB Composite device and update the driver manually, use the "Have Disk" Button and browse to the \Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers, and select the iboot version
It worked and IPAD is connected
I am still working on it wish me luck

IPAD: Forced Shutdown During Update. iPad No Longer Working! Help?

I did a force shutdown during the latest ios6 bug fix update and now my ipad will not work at all. iTunes does not reckognise the device when I connect it to my pc via usb. I have tried everything I can think of to have it start but with no success. It just keeps displaying the Apple logo, then flickering, then showing some text data in white, then goes to a blank black screen, then the logo and all over again. It does shutdown but cannot do a startup to the swipe lock page.
It would be hard to believe one could fully kill an ipad so quickly and easily. Please tell me that this is a fixable problem! Any way to get it to start again?
Thanks!
Manahen

You will need to restore your iPad to factory from recovery mode and connecting to your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and hold the home and power button down for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple. Once you see the silver apple let go of the power button but keep holdng the home button until you see the itunes logo and white usb cord. At this point you should be able to restore in itunes.

Update ipad no longer works

Since th e update a few days ago my IPAD has not worked. I logged into Itunes and the only option I had was to restore to factory settings. I did this thinking that my apple account wolduld have all my apps available later. Now no apps I paid for and cant get email to set up?

Same as mine, My JBL onbeat mini worked fine with Ipad last night and now it says " may not be supported"
Sick to death with Apple and what they have become, will not be tied down to them any longer considering the alternatives on the market today.

I have just downloaded the upgrade from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. In the process i am now unable to gain access to iTunes. The app on desktop no longer works and the install is not able to be opened.

IPad no longer working with my HP wireless printer

My HP LaserJet CP1525NW Color printer was working flawlessly with my iPad Air and now no longer works. Any suggestions?

Did you try restarting the iPad or rebooting your router? Maybe either of those would help.
