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.

I have a 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 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.

If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

ITunes/Apple Mobile Device works fine w/iPod but not iPad

Hi. I'm getting stuck on this and would like some help to solving this problem. Basically I'm trying to sync my iPad; however, whenever I connect it, this meesage pops up: "this iPad cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started." The problem is that when I try to plug in an iPod using the same wire, it works fine, no problem, but the iPad just won't connect. I have since uninstall and reinstall all Apple components (iTunes, AMD, QuickTime, etc) and it's still the same thing...iTunes connects fine w/ the iPod, but not the iPad. What to do? Thnx in advance.
EDIT:
Btw, I've tried to connect the iPad while the iPod is connected, and the "Apple Mobile Device is not started" error message pops up too, which is weird, because the iPod is connected and syncing at that time...which means the Apple Mobile Device thing IS started. >.>

The iOS devices use Apple Mobile Device Service, while older iPods use the iPod Service.
Checkout this Apple document -> How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
Are you able to restart the service after following the steps in that article?

Ripped 20 CD's into iTunes, syncs with phone and iPod, but not iPad

So, maybe sync isn't the right word. All three devices will sync, but the songs ripped from CDs only appear onmy iPhone 5 and my iPod touch, but not on the Ipad. I have recently purchased songs from iTunes, and they do appear on the iPad. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help. Oh, btw, I have the newest iPad, right before they went to the Lightning connector

Windows Vista recognizes iPod but not iPad...

Windows Vista (with latest service pack; 32-bit) will not recognize my iPad. It was able to before and my last iPad backup in my iTunes is dated back to March. However, now, when I plug my iPad in, it does not recognize it and does not even show up on the disc drives. I have gone through the numerous methoeds that Apple (and others) suggested including reinstalling iTunes, reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device Drivers, restarting my computer using msconfig, etc.
To test out whether it was an Apple driver on my computer or not, I inserted my Gen 6 iPod Classic and it recognized it with no problem. If you know how to solve this, please let me know.
Thank You,
Tulga

Videos on same Apple ID play on iPod but not iPad?

Hi, i just recently purchased the iPad Air and logged it with the same Apple ID that all my other devices use. After a day or so i logged out of my apple id and into another one that i use for work. The email addresses are very similar along with the passwords so I did not notice until after I had downloaded something and it gave me the 90 day warning.
Both my iPod and iPad are now back logged into the same account but my iPod will play videos I downloaded in the videos app but my iPad won't. when I try to download them it just gives me the 90 day warning even though I am back to the original account and can download other things fine.
I'm not sure what to do as I don't want to wait 90 days to be able to watch the videos.
thanks
IPad Air running iOS 7.1.2 and IPod touch 5 running iOS 7.1.2

Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.

Wifi sync works for iPod but not iPad

I've seen lots of questions raised about wifi sync, most of which seem to have been resolved by checking the box in iTunes to enable wifi sync. My issue doesn't seem to be resolved so easily.
I have checked the iTunes box to enable wifi sync and turned off my firewall. I have reset my router. I reinstalled iTunes, and I even just reset my iPad to defaults and reloaded from scratch. Still, wifi sync doesn't work. It is working just fine on the same Windows PC with my iPod.
Anything else I could try?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Mp3 plays on iPod but not iPad?!

I have a collection of .mp3 files loaded into iTunes as mediaKind: audiobook.
They play just fine with my iPod Touch.
They hang (with black screen) my iPad (played via the iPod app).
Why???? Any fix known for this?
P.S. I converted one track from mp3 to Apple Lossless format and that DOES play on the iPad. I would convert all the tracks to that format except that they take 3 times as much space (and like I said, they DO play on the iPod Touch).

I've the same problem with some of my audiobooks...I can listen to them on my iPod, and though these audiobooks show up on my iPAD, I can't listen to them. The iPAD screen just goes black and nothing happens. I read from another post and David M Brewer suggested these steps:
Try this;
Open iTunes--->select the audiobook--->Command+i (get info)--->Option Tab--->Music Kind--->Pick Audiobook from the drop down menu--->Ok.
But that still doesn't work. I also tried picking just "Book" from the drop down menu, still no luck.
It'd be really nice if I can listen to all my audiobooks on any one of the devices I have so I don't have to lug both the iPOD and iPAD around. Any other suggestions to fix this?

Mobile synced to cloud but not iPad

I Can't figure out what's wrong. Since the update to Lightroom 5.5, my mobile sync has quit working. It was working perfectly fine before.
ive not changed catalogs.
ive done the delete all mobile data in Lightroom preferences. (Which at least allowed photos to sync to the cloud when it wasn't before that)
it deleted old collections from iPad that we're no longer synced.
now iPad says no collections available.
Ive reinstalled the app on the iPad mini.
nothing works.

Could you please try to re-sign-in to the Lr Mobile app. There was a misconfiguration at the back-end of your account. Should be fixed now.

You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited. See this article for more details.

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.

For Windows: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync. They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone. What do I need to do?

I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod. I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone. Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store. They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone. What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.
