Why can't I sync my iPad when it opens iTunes.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to restore and lose things on my iPad. It pulled up iTunes like normal when I pluged it in, but it will not sync. I have the option in the middle of the screen to restore. At the bottom where it normally has sync it has revert. I also have a lot of "other" when I don't normally. What could that be?

What message are you getting, if any?
Is your iPad showing up in iTunes when you connect it? If not, unplug it from the computer and re-plug it. Sometimes it is best to try a different USB port.

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

Start iTunes on the computer.

SELECT your iPad in iTunes. Look for the small device icon in the top bar of iTunes. Click on that.
A sidebar should be on the left.
Select the Music, Photos, videos, App etc. that you want to have on your iPad.,
Then click on Sync or Apply whichever shows.

Help - I can't find the "File" menu when I open iTunes

I am trying to transfer a music file from my Mac to iTunes. Directions state to click on the "File" menu when you open iTunes - but, seriously, I can't find a "File" menu item. Help - I am tech challenged. Thanks.

You might need to bring up the menu bar to see the File menu.
If you're using a version 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

I am trying to authorise a new lap top for my itunes account. The instructions to me to open my itunes and go to Store then choose "Authorize this computor" or if using an older version of itunes to go to the Advanced menu. Neither of these two items appear under "Store" when I open itunes. Am I in the wrong "Store" as I cannot locate anything thing similar on the open itunes.

Bob,
They did not mean the Store; they meant the Store menu on the iTunes menu bar! It is in a row with File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, and Help, as shown below.
If you don't see the menu bar, enable it by holding the CTRL key and pressing B.

Why can't I sync my iPad to two iTunes libraries?

Hello,
My problem is, I have a net connection in my desktop so i usually download stuff from the App store here. Since it is a family PC it doesn't have MY STUFF in here (like songs, pictures and pdf books). I would like to sync my ipad with THE ITUNES ON MY LAPTOP...without deleting the apps i have already synced using my desktop.
How do i do it? I really want to add songs and photos from my laptop, but i haven't connected it to the iPad yet from the fear of losing my apps!
PLEASE HELP!!

You could manually manage the iPad. See Using iPad, or iPod with multiple computers.
If desired any iDevice can be manually managed or auto-synced from the same library connected to any one of multiple authorized computers provided you have the library on a portable device, or arrange to sync the different copies of the library with each other in some fashion. I use SyncToy for the task, keeping my iTunes library at home and work in sync with each other by syncing the entire library to a portable drive that I take with me.

Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.

I have the exact same problem. But setting the firewall settings (in Security in System Preferences) to "Allow incoming connections" for iTunes doesn't correct it. The problem began at about the time I switched to a new MacBook Pro, but could also be due to the fact that at about the same time I upgraded to iTunes version 9.1.1 (12).
Please help.

TS3274 Why can't I sync my ipad?

I press the "sync" button. And get a message saying " Could not be synced because the sync session failed to start".... What does this mean?

Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reboot the iPad 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why can't I sync ringtones on my iphone with itunes? Using iOS7 and iTunes11.

I can't seem to find a way to sync my ringtones on to my iPhone. I'm syncing all ringtones. I've tried syncing selected ringtones with all selected. I've tried turning the phone off and back on, unplugged and replugged into my computer (Windows 7). No luck. I've Googled the issue and all I've found are items from 2011 or older. Help. An iPhone without custom ringtones is a terrible thing. lol.

P.S. I'm wonder if it is a problem with iTunes or with my phone?

Hej, Ellen från Karlskrona!
You have started a Page Layout document instead of a Word Processing document. Open the template chooser and look in the left column. There you will see the two types of documents.

HT2729 Why can't I sync my flim That I have already bought from my iPhone to my iPad

Why can't I sync my flim that I have already bought for my I phone4 to my new iPad 2

I'm having the same issue and the books I'm wanting to sync are checked. It worked on previous audiobooks that I had. In fact, I just finished the two that I had loaded and want to load two more. I only keep two books (4 files) on the device to conserve space. I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3. there is 3GB free on the iPhone and I don't get any errors when syncing. My music is syncing fine and the books that unchecked were removed from my phone.
I just tried to resync with one of the books that had previously been on my phone. It will not reload on there either. Here's a screen shot of iTunes and below that is the screen shot from my phone after syncing. Thanks for any help.
