Sync new iPad with Mac bu Mac not recognizing
i plugged my new, first time used iPad into my mac and the mac is not recognizing the iPad. I then plugged the iPad into my PC and the PC did recognize and take me to the registration page in iTunes. I am wanting to sync with the Mac. Any ideas how to get the Mac to recognize?
Mac OS X
Version 10.4.11
Yes it is however, you can only use it for the following:
iPad 1st Gen
No Uses
iPad 2
No Uses
The New iPad
Use your iPad as a wireless hotspot. 3G/4G Versions only.
I hope this helped. I see you are meaning iPad 2, my iPad 1 sometimes uses my iMac as a hotspot (I think- The simbol is shown), even though my iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as my iMac.

My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It use to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

When I sync my iPad with iTunes it does not update my play counts. Is there a way to make this happen?
Are you using iTunes Match by chance? I had no problems whatsoever with play counts synching between any of my devices until I started using iTunes Match. I turned it off and magically my play counts synced. Once. Hasn't happened again though.

Have a new IPad with IOS6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that "recipient was rejected by the server." Apple has apparently neglected to put out a manual with IOS6 and the previous manual has no indication of what to do. Really miss Steve Jobs.
Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

When I am trying to sync my new iPad the new one asks for a password. I cannot use my current iPad password, nor my ITunes password and it keeps resetting.
Hmm, is Whitson's iPad the current name of the device, or an earlier iPad? Does that image you've shown occupy the entire iTunes window or is the usual column of library sources and playlists shown down the left-hand side. If the list is there then the iPad should appear as a device that you can right/option/cmd-click on. Failing that with all your purchases having come from the store you should be able to set up as new device and then reacquire all your store content but that would lose any data and settings. I suppose that after restoring as new, then backing up to the machine, you could then try restoring the backup from the cloud, and then if needed go through the original process as I suggested.
You might find that if you opt to set up as new nothing actually changes until you choose some content to sync, which may give you the opportunity to use the process I've previously outlined. Sorry I can't be clearer but I know that method has worked for a few people who have had to switch computers after a crash. I'm not personally familiar with the process under your precise circumstances.
The "cut the cord" feature which allowed you to set up the device without connecting to a computer is all well and good but if you have to go through this sort of effort when the time comes that you want to hook up your device to a library on your computer it becomes a complete nightmare.

I don't know what to do. I recently got a MacBook and I wanted my iPad to be synced with it. So I attached the ipad and it has worked fine until tonight. I am trying to sync and it says it is but not all my music is on my ipad, it shows in my library on itunes. Do I have to restore to origional settings? Please help...
Did you select all of the music to sync by clicking on the playlists or albums or whatever you use in iTunes - in order for them to sync? Or did you click on Entire Music Library if you want all of your music on the iPad?

Syncing my iPad with my iMac will not update the apps software
Whenever I sync my iPad Air 2 to my iMac the updated apps on the iMac will not update the apps in the iPad. I have rebooted the iMac and iPad, tried different cords, and checked all settings. All other things in the iPad sync properly.
Are you using iTunes Match by chance? I had no problems whatsoever with play counts synching between any of my devices until I started using iTunes Match. I turned it off and magically my play counts synced. Once. Hasn't happened again though.

how do i get data from old ipad to new ipad?
If you sync and backup with iTunes.....
Transfer all purchases into iTunes, backup your old iPad and sync with iTunes one last time. Then plug in the other iPad, restore from the backup of the old one and sync with iTunes in order to put all of your apps, photos, music, movies, etc, on the device. The data is contained in the backup, but your media resides in your iTunes library.
If you have gone PC free and you only use iCloud.....
Backup the old iPad one last time and then restore the new iPad from the backup of the old iPad when you are presented with that option during activation. All of your data and content will download onto the iPad when you restore from the iCloud backup.

Help syncing new iPad with Outlook 2007 on my PC and Blackberry Tour 9630
I have searched for answers and am stumped and frustrated...
I bought an iPad (am trying to become I-friendly) and thought it would be convenient to be able to sync my “stuff” (Contacts, Calendar and notes) to the iPad so we’ll have access to it while traveling. I use a Blackberry Tour 9630 and a PC with Outlook 2007. I have synced them effortlessly for years using Desktop manager. I make changes to my ‘stuff’ on both phone and PC and when I sync - the most current ‘stuff’ gets placed on both. Voila! Not anymore.
When I set up my iPad to work with iCloud things got screwy. A LOT of my contacts just disappeared - mainly the ones I use frequently. Now my Outlook 2007 calendar has three calendars on the screen:
Calendar in iCloud - pink
Calendar Merge Conflicts in iCloud - green in a tab behind the pink calendar
Calendar - blue
I use a cox email account and my blackberry gives me the choice when deleting an email whether to delete on the device or on the server. I use that feature a lot when we are traveling for a few weeks. It is nice to come home with no redundant emails on my PC.
1-How do I combine all the calendars so I have the same thing on each device, Hoping to stay updated on each when I make changes
2-Can the iPad email give me the option to delete from the server when viewing an email on a cox.net account?
I am not an expert but fairly tech savvy and usually can get these things done. I need help! I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions - Thanks in advanceMake sure all content is transferred and device is backed up before you update.

Following a problem with my IPad and restoring it, I have lost the data in one of my game Apps ... I can see in ITunes/ pref my iPad back ups and want to try to sync with an older back up to get the data back. So how can I sync with an oldera back up?
In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none. -

Cant sync new iPhone4S with current version of iTunes (10.6.3)
Trying to sync new Iphone4S with an older Mac (OS X 10.5.8) to pull music and photos from Mac. When i plug in IPhone to the Mac, it says I need to update to iTunes (currently version 10.6.3) 11.1 or higher, but my Mac cant update to iTunes 11. Any suggestions?
Your Mac is running an operating system version that is now four versions old. Leopard (OS X 10.5) was released in October, 2007.
At a minimum, you must purchase the next version (Snow Leopard, which came out in 2008) and update it to version 10.6.8 to install the current version of iTunes.
You can purchase it here:

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Macbook says no update available.
" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
