Why cAn't I sync my iPad?

Why can't I sync this IPad?
I think I have tried everything

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.

Why can't I sync my ipad air to my older Dell computer????

Why can't I sync my ipad air w/ my older Dell Computer?

Start iTunes on the computer.
Connect your iPad to 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.

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

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.

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 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?

HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Hi Drumsing,
As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
Hope this helps,
GB

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.

I can no longer sync my IPad to my PC. There is no access to sync on the ITunes home page????

I can no longer sync my IPad to my PC. There is no access to sync on the ITunes web site?

I'm sorry, but your statement doesn't make sense or I am totally misunderstanding you. That's is certainly a possibility.
You sync with iTunes software on your computer, and there is no link on the website where you can go to syc. With iTunes, the application must be installed on your computer. If you have been syncing with iTunes then you know this and there must be some lack of communication between us.
Launch the iTunes application on your computer and then connect your iPad to your computer with the cable. Your iPad should appear in the devices button in the upper right part of the iTunes window. Click on that in order to select your iPad.

If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

If iPad mini has the basic iPad 2 hardware, why can't use Siri on iPad 2?

Wrong on all counts. Well except for the A5 post.
The 3rd Generation iPad and iPhone 4s both have an Audience chipset for noise suppression/voice recognition that the iPad 2 et. al. do not have. The iPhone 5, 5th Generation iPod Touch, 4th Generation iPad and iPad Mini are using a different type of hardware based noise suppression/voice recognition that is an improvement over the Audience chipset (hope you didn't have Audience stock).

Why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

Why would you need to sync any more than just 1? What exactly is happening? Need a bit more detail in order to assist you.
However, it sounds like it may be more of an Audible issue, in which case you should contact Audible's support.

You can send them by email or MMS. You can use a service such as DropBox. You can transfer the photos to a computer and from there to the other device.

Why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge?

why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge? I have never had this problem before. I have tried two different chargers. I have tried it via the computer. I have turned the ipad off and on. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

Why can't i connect my ipad to home wireless?

why can't i connect my ipad to home wireless?

Is your iPad seeing the Router SSID (Network Name) in the list of networks? If so what happens when you try to select it? Are you asked for a password? If the network isn't secure then it won't ask you for a password and you should just connect.

Steve
