Synch iPad with iTunes

I just bought myself an iPad and wanted to synch it with the rest of my Apple gear thru iTunes. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing all sorts of trouble doing this.
The versions of software does not match. First I upgraded my iTunes, then to install this, it says I need the latest version of Ios 10.6.8.
Is this a paid FW upgrade, or can I download this somewhere?
This is really tiring as I cannot synch my brand new iPad and get full usability, if the devices cannot be synched.

    error -54 when synching iPad with iTunes on laptop.... what does this error mean?

    Hey MacFromManila,
    It's a different method of backing up your iPhone 4s.  This article covers the differences between the two and may actually be able to help you choose between them:

  • Synching iPad With iTunes Apparent Problem

    Lately every time I use iTunes on my laptop to synch my apps with my iPad iTunes says that there is less apps on my iPad than there really is. Also it shows that my iPad has more space available than it says I have in settings under "usage" on the iPad. If I choose to remove the apps on the iPad through iTunes instead of manually doing so on the iPad iTunes shows less apps on the iPad through the bar that shows the total amount of space on the iPad and space that is used and by what.
    I have noticed this going on for months so I am always removing the apps I want to remove from the iPad manually instead of through iTunes. This way I am not losing any apps that I do want on my iPad and my iPad is remaining the way I want it too. Through this method, I am not noticing any changes through iTunes with the bar that depicts the amount of used and unused space on the iPad, even the correct number of apps on the iPad is correct.
    (A) Important Information Regarding the iPad, iPod Touch 4th Generation & iTunes:
    1. My iPad is an iPad 4th Generation (or iPad with Retina Display)
    2. It is running Software Version: iOS 6.1.3
    3. I will not update to iOS 7 (iOS 7.0.4) because I totally hate and dislike iOS 7 and everything about it, I prefer iOS 6.1.3 and iOS 6.1.5 that is on my iPod Touch 4th Generation that is also not able to be upgraded to iOS 7 anyways because iOS 7 isn't supported on it so my intentions are to keep my iPod and my iPad running the iOS 6 operating system. (Because of this, it would be wonderful to get rid of the annoying 1 on the "Settings" app icon notifying about the iOS 7 Update that I have already said I don't want.)
    4. Regarding updating apps, not wanting iOS 7 and Apple Devices that can't support iOS 7 (such as the iPod Touch 4th Generations) because many of the app updates that were supported on these earlier devices are saying: "Download the last compatible version? The newer version requires iOS 7 or later." This is truly unacceptable behavior for apps because everyone deserves the right to have the current versions of the apps, especially since some of them had to be paid for with valuable hard earned money. Thus all apps should automatically be compatible with all versions of the software the earlier devices are compatible with (meaning that they can't support iOS 7).
    I am suggesting this because this could be the possible reason why the apps through iTunes and the iPad are saying there are less than there really is on my iPad.
    (B) Regarding iTunes & Synching With The iPad:
    1. My iTunes Software Version is the latest, iTunes Version 11.1.3
    2. iTunes with the apps I want to remove still on the iPad (6 total to remove) says that I have 94 apps installed with 8.82GB of free space available. The total amount of GB of space used by the installed apps is: 11.03GB.
    3. Removing the 6 apps I want to remove on the iPad through iTunes says that I now only have 80 apps on my iPad after removing them through iTunes and now have a total of 16.01GB of free space available. The total amount of GB of space used by the installed apps is: 3.84GB all of a sudden when only 6 apps were removed supposedly.
    4. Of course I decided not to allow these changes to take affect on the iPad and intend to remove a total of 6 apps manually, so instead of clicking "Apply" in iTunes I've clicked "Done"  and then when asked: "Would you like to apply these changes?" I clicked "Don't Apply" and manually removed the 6 apps after disconnecting the iPad from my laptop.
    (C) After Removing The Apps Manually From The iPad & Re-Synching With iTunes:
    1. With the 6 apps manually removed, iTunes now says that I have 88 apps installed on my iPad. (94-6=88)
    2. The total amount of free space on my iPad according to iTunes is 8.91GB of free space available. This matches what my iPad says under "Usage" in the General Tab under "Settings".
    3. The total amount of GB space being used by all the apps now currently on my iPad are: 10.91GB.
    Now as I was saying earlier about iTunes and synching apps with my iPad saying I have more space  and less apps installed than it really does has officially been proven with the three sections (A-C) of information above. Now I like to know why this is accruing and how can it be corrected so both iTunes and the iPad are showing the correct information when synced?
    ALSO NOTE: If anyone tries to tell me or suggest I should install iOS 7, don't bother saying it because I will not upgrade to iOS 7 ever because as I've said I don't like it and in my opinion it looks un-appealing and uninteresting and at the same time I want both my iPod Touch 4th Generation and my iPad 4th Generation (iPad with Retina Display) using the same iOS operating system, as in iOS 6.

  • Problem synching ipad with itunes

    I have an ipad 3 and have started having a problem synching in itunes.  It refuses to merge contacts, calendar and notes but instead simple replaces the one on the ipad with the older version from itunes.  This is also happening on my iphone 5.  It has also deleted 2 of my calendars.  I still have these calendars on another iphone 4 but I am afraid to try to to back them up as I don't want to lose them permanently.
    I have double checked that it is marked correctly in info.  It has synched correctly in the past.
    My itunes is current as well as my IOS.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

      I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop!  So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now...  so the question is:  "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

    Have you tried
    Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > Delete

  • When I sync my iPad with iTunes it does not update the play count?  Is there a setting I need to change?

    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. 

  • Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi James thanks so much for your reply
    What I was trying to do though was to mass delete the voice memos from the phone, and I was told that one can do that via iTunes. Problem is that when I do open iTunes, I am not able to locate a TAB thats says ON THIS IPHONE
    I was told that one could click on this and then select multiple Voice Memos and delete this way.
    Thanks again for your assistance

  • In an effort to restore my iPad with iTunes on a computer that is not synced to my iPad, it tells me that I must have the passcode, which I do not remember. What do I do now?

    You will need to restore the iPad using Recovery Mode. Since you are using a computer that you have never synced with in the past, you will have to erase the device and will lose all content. You will be able to download your purchased content as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the content with in the first place - as long as the content is still available and the downloading of past purchases is available in your country.

  • The message function on my Ipad just quit working.  I was using it while in Mexico and it just quit.  I have come home and synced my Ipad with Itunes and function still does not work.  How do I get this function to work again?

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Lost my apps when sync iPad with iTunes

    when sync iPad with iTunes, apps purchased in iPad by another account were lost, and the apps can't be seen when check for available downloads. How to get back the purchased apps? thanks.

    If you lost all your apps on both the iPad and the computer, you can download the apps again at no cost. You can search your emails for app store purchases if you can't remember all the apps that you have downloaded.

  • My folders disappear when I sync my iPad with iTunes

    I have about 290 apps on my iPad - too many for the 11 screens allowed.  I organized them into folders in iTunes (took me a couple of hours) so that I could see all my apps and find them more easily.  When I synced my iPad with iTunes, they all disappeared.  I'm running verion 4.3.5.  HELP!!!

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
