Syncing ipad to iTunes error message
I have a new MAC and an older iPad. I initially synced it, but, now it will no longer let me do that. I open the iTunes, can see that the iPad is connected, hit the sync button and then wait. It goes through steps 1 and 2 and then flashes to the step 5 of 5 and I get the following error message:
could not back up the iPad because it is not connected.
Turned off MAC, turned off iPad and still not able to do it getting the same error messages. Any ideas? Thanks
Eject the iPad from iTunes and the Mac, reboot the Mac again and try resetting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up and then try again.

i can't sync ipad to pc/ error message says i need to update to itunes 11.1....i have tried can't seem to/ ipad is 3 months old has iso 7.2 its as updated as know how to update
Do as it says. In order for iOS 7 to PC sync to work right, you need to have iTunes v11.1.1 on the PC.
So download it ON THE PC and update:

Tring to sync ipad but getting error message
Im trying to sync my ipad to my computer to manage my itunes but I keep getting a message that reads error could not sycn, please help
Hopefully you data was backed up and all you have to do is to restore the data to the computer and then sync.
If you have another computer and that has the data using Home Sharing should all the shared document to be re-synced.
You can re-download apps for free when low into the original iTunes account so you do not have to pay again.
This issue has also been discussed her before and those threads might provide additional information. You can find those by using the search functio to the right. -
I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully. Also while watching the same episode on my laptop (Mac Book Pro) it freezes.
I had this same message appear today when i was putting new music on my ipod touch 4th gen. The only difference is that I wasnt using an external drive. I was using the one on my computer. This is the first time i have had this problem

ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.
When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd. -
My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.
2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?
If so then:

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.
I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that. -

certain events in iPhoto will not sync to my iPad. No Error messages comes up and the photos themselves are ok. its like my ipad doesn't see them. Cause i can get some photos on there just not all. Photos are from the same camera and should all be in the same format.
What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
