Syncing iPad & iPod

I have been syncing an iPod for couple years with no issues. Recently added an iPad to my house. After syncing them both for a month or so, I am now seeing both iTunes and iPhoto open when I attach either the iPod or iPad. I do not remeber seeing this before.
Is there a way to prevent iPhoto from opening when I attach iPod or iPad?

You can set the  preferences in iphoto not to open when a digital camera is connected.  This will cause it not to open when any digital camera is attached.

  • Syncing ipad, ipod and iphone to a new itunes library

    Hi,
    I need some guidance on how to achieve what is in my mind a relatively common problem... how do I sync my iPad, iPod (x2) and iPhone to a new computer without having to erase everything.
    The scenario is as follows. I have one iTunes library on an old PC. In my family we have an iPad, 2 iPod Touch's and an iPhone, all synced with that machine and that one account. The old PC has seen better days, so I have bought a new machine. I thought it was as easy as just installing iTunes, copying the music over, downloading the apps with my apple id, and bob's your uncle.
    Guess not, the first time I plug in the iPad it says that I need to erase the darn thing. You can imagine the drama in the house... one is about to lose their Smurf farm, the other is about to lose their levels in Angry birds, etc, etc. Don't worry about my contacts and emails, nobody cares about that. It's all the data that is stored with the various apps of the various members of my family that has everyone up in arms.
    So my question is how can I basically make this whole lot work with my new computer? I am sure that I am not the first one buying a new computer, so I am (hopefully) sure that Apple has build this bit of logic somewhere in their software and devices. Just can't find it, and judging by the amount of blogs, articles and posts dedicated to this it appears that there are a couple of million other people that are equally unable to find this bit of functionality.
    Please help... my kids and the wife are not allowing me to get rid of this old PC until this is resolved.
    Thanks.

    This is copied from another thread. I think it is pretty clear. Here is the link to the thread as well. You will need to do this for each device if they all have different content on them.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    If you have more questions, post back.

  • Syncing iPad & iPod...  device USB port cable connector question

    I have an iPad & iPod 4th gen.... both syncing cables look identical..no identity markings on either. I'm not sure now which came with which device.
    QUESTION: Are the syncing/charging ( know I can't charge iPad off USB port) cables given with purchase interchangable for these 2 devices?
    Thanks!

    Yes, the cables work the same. It is an Apple proprietary 30 pin connector.
    The chargers are different. The iPhone/iPod charger is 5 watt. The iPad charger is 10 watt. But you can use the iPad charger with iPhones/iPods because it is self limiting.

    I'm having a  problem  using a MBP with MacOsX 10.6.8. My iPad2 will not sync with iTunes i keep getting "iTunes could not sync information to the iPad because a conection could not be establised to the iPad" error I tried restarting the Computer and resttting th iPad but no luck. I was able to sync before with iTunes 10 but after updating to iTunes 11 it worked once and now I get the error. I'm using the usb cable instead of the wifi but I get the same results.
    The iPad shows in iTunes and charges with the USB cable also shows in iTunes with wifi.

  • Can't sync iPad (iPod, iPod Nano, or iPhone) Windows 7 64 bit

    I have been trying to solve this issue for months and now that I have my new iPad I would really like to get this figured out.
    I have a new Dell running Window7 64 bit. Almost 100% of the time I can't sync any of my devices. They time out, or appear to be syncing but are not.
    I have tried updating drivers, deleting and reinstalling iTunes, de-authorizing and re-authorizing accounts...basically everything I can think of.
    The thing is, all of these devices will sync fine on my Macbook, and my 5 year old Dell running Windows XP.
    Anyone have any ideas? I can provide more details if needed.

  • What cable do I need to sync iPad with my classic iPod

    How do you sync iPad with iPod.?

    Hi,

  • I am a new iPad user who has transferred an iTunes library from my laptop to iPad. How do I sync my iPod touch with my ipad

    I am a new iPad user and have transferred my iTunes library from my laptop. How do I sync my iPod touch with my ipad

    You don't.  You synch your iPod to your computer.  There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod.  You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

  • HT1535 I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my i

    I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
    This is intensely confusing, sorry.

    Question.....
    "I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
    Answer.....
    Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
    You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

    I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

    You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
    You can try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
    I would try on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Syncing to iPod but not ipad

    I want to sync to iPod but when I check songs I want to sync, will they automatically sync to iPad? I want the songs on iPod only.

    No.. The ONLY things that will sync to the ipad are the things that you have selected to sync to the ipad.
    The same is true for any device.

  • IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

    Since the latest iTunes update,
    1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
    2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing.  I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
    "There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

    You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.
