Trouble Syncing Ipad

While syncing my ipad to itunes I get the error message "while syncing this ipad the connection to the ipad was lost".  I know I am OK with my wifi and I use a USB to ipad cable to connect.  I have looked in the manual and don't find anything helpful.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Hi Fanznanz,
Thank you for your question.  If you are getting an error message while syncing your iPad with a USB cable, do you have a different USB cable you can try?  Another suggestion would be to see if you can setup syncing to iTunes via Wi-Fi.  Give this a try:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support

Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi
Learn how to sync your iOS device with iTunes on your computer.
You can use iTunes to sync information on your iPod, iPhone, or iPad with your computer—for example, if you buy movies or music using your iPhone, syncing adds this media to your computer. 
When you sync, iTunes determines whether your iOS device or your computer contains the most recent information, and lets you choose the information you want to sync.Set up syncing
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
Locate your iOS device.
If you're in the iTunes Store, click the Library button, then look for your device in the upper-right corner.  
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes. Then you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
The iOS device is charging.
iTunes is open on the computer.
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
When your device is connected with iTunes via Wi-Fi, you can select the device and then configure sync and other options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device doesn't appear in the Devices section or you can't sync, try troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.
You can also sync your iOS device using a USB cable. For more information, see Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB.Device not recognized
Learn what to do if your device is not recognized in iTunes for OS X.
I hope this information helps ....

  • Having trouble syncing iPad to get movies onto it.....any ideas?

    For some reason I am having trouble syncing movies onto my iPad. They are in my iTunes library, I check the box hit apply/sync then nothing.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    Been there, done that...........
    It appears that when I sync it seems the sync is syncing the computer with the iPad not iPad with computer.
    I have delegated all movies on iPad when I check some movies on iTunes it adds the purple bar at the bottom and availability of space decreases accordingly. When I hir apply/sync it goes through the process then when finishes step four the purple bar at the bottom goes and available space increases again.

  • HT1947 Having trouble syncing iPad to Apple TV

    I am trying to sync my tv to my iPad . Not sure what I'm doing.

    If you mean have the display be mirrored to the Apple TV, displaying what you see on the iPad onto the TV, you'd need an iPad 2. Visit the link below to learn more.
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airplay.html
    If you mean sync as in put the media you have on your iPad onto your Apple TV, you will have to go to the 'Internet' section of the Apple TV, and scroll down to Photo Stream to view your photos. To stream your music from the cloud, you will need to pay a subscription to iTunes Match, which is $24.99 a year, allowing you to stream all of your music on all of your iDevices while upgrading your ripped CDs and music acquired from other sources to iTunes quality music. Or you can leave your computer on and ultilize the 'Home Sharing' feature under the 'Computers' section in Apple TV.
    If you have anymore questions, respond back.

  • HELP - trouble syncing ipad and itunes

    Hello - hopefully someone can help...before my head explodes.
    I've been trying to sync my ipad with my itunes and I continue to receive the following error message: the ipad Kelly's Ipad cannot be synced - the required file cannot be found in addition to the following message on my ipad itself: itunes sync needed high resolution images synced via itunes are missing. connect your device to the computer you sunc photos from and launch itunes to sync them.
    I have not done anything differently here...I've synced the same way millions of times. Nothing has changed. Anybody have any thoughts on this..???

    After endless months of frustration about why my iPad would sometimes sync just fine and other times I'd keep getting the popup message:
    iPad could not be synced because it could not be found
    While perusing some Apple users' documentation for my old, first generation iPad, I finally found this one sentence buried deep:
    iPad must be connected to a power source in order for it to sync.
    So, it's not enough for your WiFi to be correctly configured and enabled on both the sending and receiving ends, you must have your device plugged into a power source anyway. Yes, it seems counter-intuitive because we tend to think of WiFi as doing away with the need for wires.

  • HT1692 Trouble syncing iPad calendar with Google calendars

    My iPad happily downloads all events that are updated to my Google calendar from the exchange system on my laptop but will not upload events that are entered directly to my iPad in the reverse direction meaning I have to enter these to Exchange manually, then these "new" entries are happily updated back to my iPad so I end up with duplicate antries on the iPad. Any ideas???

    You've wandered into the Podcasts forum. Could I refer you to the iPad forum.

  • I am having trouble syncing new songs to my ipad mini.  I tunes says 151 are on the ipad yet only 120 are on the actual ipad.

    I am having trouble syncing my ipad mini with itunes.  I have done it before and no problem.  Now it lists that I have 151 songs on my ipad but there are only 120 on the actual ipad. The new playlists I tried to add are not on it.  Am I missing a step.

    That alone does not mean the movies are in an iPad compatible format either.
    Copied from this link.
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/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.
    Try this. With one of these videos selected in iTunes, at the iTunes menu bar go to Advanced and select Create iPad or Apple TV version. This will duplicate the selected video in an iPad compatible version. Select this version to be transferred to your iPad to see if this makes any difference.

  • Trouble recognizing and syncing Ipad 64Gig to OS 10.4.11.

    After months of normal use, one day I started having trouble syncing my Ipod 64Gig Touchscreen to my Itunes using OS 10.4.11 on my Imac.  Can anyone help????

    How can I find out if indeed I did update my ipod to iOS 4.2 or later???
    Settings -> General -> About; look at the "Version" information
    Knowing that I am using OS 10.4.11 on my Imac would the update be allowed to happen rendering my ipod unrecognizable and unsyncable???
    If you synched and updated from some other computer, yes. If you used only your current computer with iTunes 9.x, then upgrading to iOS 5 would not be possible and something else is going wrong.
    Lastly, what steps should I take to return to a previous iOS version that will work with iMAC OS 10.4.11 using Itunes version 9.2.1(5)???
    If your iPod has indeed been upgraded to iOS 5, downgrading is not supported. You would need to upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later so you can run iTunes 10.
