When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync

When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync and my iPad will not charge. I've used every chord that I own. In addition, I've plug other things into my Mac and they work fine. If I plug my iPad into the wall it charges.

Then it doesn't seem like its the cable then does it.
If the iPad isn't being recognized in iTunes, you can start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, reboot your iPad, restart your Mac and then 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 - let go of the buttons.
If it still isn't being seen by iTunes, look for help here.

I have an itunes account on my PC and I would like to transfer my music to my Mac, because I am getting rid of my PC. How do I do that? When I plug my ipod into my Mac it says to sync to the Mac which will erase all the music on my ipod.

I have music on my PC that I would like to transfer to my Mac. I am getting rid of my PC and don't want to lose all the music on it. I was wondering if there is a way to sync the music on old computer to my new computer. I tried to sync my Ipod and Ipad to the Mac but because it is a new Itunes it was going to erase everything on my Ipod and Ipad. How do i avoid losing all music and apps on both of my devices?

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

HT204150 Do I just take it as a given that contacts on an iPad and a Mac air will not sync?

Do I just take it as a given that contacts do not seamlessly sync between an iPad and a Mac Air?

If you've got all your ducks in a row, then they should sync.
Are they both signed into the same icloud account?
Are contacts turned on in icloud settings/system preferences?
Here's a test; log into the icloud account at icloud.com using a browser and lok at the contacts page. If there, then one of the devices managed to get the data to icloud, but the other is not syncing down (again, check to be sure both devices are connecting to the right account and that all is turned on).
If there's no data on icloud.com, then neither device is syncing. You must not have the settings correct.

When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge?

When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge ?

Not necessarily...
iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

HT4236 When I plug my IPOD into my Mac, no device image appears, it doesn't seem to recognize that I have my I POD connected.

I have an IPOD Tough and a MAC. When I plug my IPOD into the MAC, no IPOD device icon appears on the MAC. Additionally when I go to Itunes, there is no IPOD device listed. How can I get the MAC to recognize the IPOD?

When I plug my iPad into a wall circuit and leave it for 18 hours the battery level only goes from 55% to 66% and then it quotes charging. Is this normal or do I have trouble with my adapter, it is the one that came with the iPad?

When I plug my Ipad into a wall circut it will not fully charge, It only charges up to 66% does anyone no why?

I can't tell you why it is doing this but it should not take anywhere near that long to recharge.
Try another power adapter if you have access to one - borrow one from a friend, try another wall socket, another cable ... take it to an Apple Store and let them try to charge it for you.
You can try resetting the iPad and see if that helps but I have my doubts - but it will not hurt anything either.
Reset 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.
Your battery gauge may be giving you an incorrect reading - but I think that would be a long shot as well. How many hours of use do you get at 66%?
You can read this about the iPad battery and how to maintain and care for the battery. .

Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

When I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

when I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

Try a different USB port on your computer. If your using a PC, the port on a keyboard is not strong enough; plug it into a USB port on the computer tower.
Be sure to wait awhile; mine sometimes takes a couple minutes to connect.
Another tip would be to open i-tunes before plugging ipod in.
If it still doesn't work, try resetting your ipod by turning the hold button on and off, then pressing and holding the center and menu buttons until the Apple logo shows up. When ipod returns to main screen, plug it into the computer again.
If nothing works, you may have a bad connection cord.

Ensure that you computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase the apps i(n iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer), then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

There are two different types of adapters by Apple that look similar. One is a 5 Watt adapter used with iPhones and iPods. The other is a 10 Watt adapter used with the iPad. Other than looking at the text on the adapter, which is hard to read, you can tell the different by looking at the socket the pin part plugs into the adapter. The 5 Watt has two notches and the 10 Watt has only one notch.
Make sure you use the 10 Watt adapter with an iPad.
