What to do if the iPad won't sync with any computer

My iPad will to sync with any computer. It says my iPad has malfunctioned. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and still nothing.

Assuming the headphones work in another device/other earphone do not work in your device.
-Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack Insert/remove the headphone plug a dozen times or so
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • My ipad won't sync with itunes, can anyone help

    My ipod tpuch and ipad won't sync with itunes even though they are recognised by my comuter. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but still won't sync. How can i get my equipment to sync with itunes?

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

  • TS1702 I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history

    I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history lost.
    Tried following up with the developer's instruction. Didn't help. Developer suggested contacting Apple if their instruction didn't work. Tried the various methods recommended on the Apple site. Same result.

    Telling is that you tried most of the things on the net doesn't tell us exactly what you did try, so we are all still left to guess .....
    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
    If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
    If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

    how do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1.1 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

  • Please Please Please:let me rating my raw files in the iPad and then sync with LR.

    Please Please Please:let me rating my raw files in the iPad and then sync with LR.

    definitely the battery wont be the problem.
    The important thing is that the IPAD already can see the RAW files;)
    would be very useful to make the rating in it.
    have the option of cataloging all the pictures of a event 
    anywhere !!!! even in standing up position
    hope I explained correctly (English is not my primary language)

  • I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

    I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I updated my iPhone and iPad to ios8, but the iPad didn't sync with iCloud drive, despite it is "on". What do I need to do?

    I updated my iPhone and iPad to ios8 but the iPad did not sync to my icloud drive, despite it is turned "on". For example, my iPhone shows all my spreadsheets but they do not appear on iPad. What do I need to do?

  • My calendar on iPad won't sync with iPhone

    I downloaded new 5.0 OS and now the iPad won't pick up the calendar from iphone

    I'm having the same problem, but I have an Android phone. It won't sync/update with my Google calendar.

  • I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. Now the calendar won't sync with my iPhone5.

    I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro last week. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. I can't find where to delete that email login.  iCloud is also showing my new email login, plus a bogus one I accidentally created trying to fix this problem. Now the calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my iPhone5.

    It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

  • My new IPad won't sync with ITunes

    I have a new IPad and want to sync it with ITunes on my computer. It says it's starting to sync, but nothing ever happens, it just stays there. My IPod syncs without problem, so why is the IPad not Syncing?

    It is hard to tell why the iPad is not syncing.
    Reboot the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer and try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
