Why does it only one time to sync my IPhone 5, yet to put the same playlist on my IPad Air I have to sync multiple occasions and reboot?

Lately purchasing songs on ITunes has been difficult getting them on my IPad Air.  I can sync the exact same playlist to my IPhone 5, no problem.  Try putting the same playlist and songs on my IPad Air, forget about it!  This problem seems recent and I wonder if it is a software problem.  The computer is an Mac, so it's not a PC issue.  During the sync process, step 5 "Waiting for changes to be applied", takes the longest amount of time.
Any thoughts?
Dave

Hi sdl2001,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone only shows a "connect to iTunes" screen, see this article for steps that can help:

    Hi Stavros0203,
    When restoring your entire system from a Time Machine backup, it is restored to the state it was when that backup was made. See this article for reference -

  • Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?

    Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?

    I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.

  • Why does a b/w JPEG become overexposed when I place a PNG in the same file?

    I'm creating a black-and-white ad in InDesign. The background is a JPEG edited in Photoshop (converted to grayscale, cropped, added two black rectangles, one on top, one on bottom with a gradient). I added multiple text boxes and then went to place one of three logos (created and saved in Illustrator as PNG-24) into the file. As soon as I place it anywhere in the document -- on top of the JPEG, four inches away from the JPEG, anywhere -- the JPEG goes to maximum brightness and looks terrible. If I add the logo as a JPEG, everything is fine. The problem is that the logo needs to have a transparent background, which you can only get with a PNG as far as I know. I also tried saving the background JPEG as a PNG, but it comes out similarly overexposed. What do I do??

    What you are seeing is the effect of ID's shift to overprint prview quality when transparency is introduced. Grayscales are actually mapped to the black plate, and output as part of the document working CMYK, which may display lighter or darker than the preview of the grayscale. The image should look the same as it does without transparency on the page, but with overprint preview selected, and this is the actual output you can expect when you output to the current CMYK working profile.
    You can use the black channel fro the CMYK profile as the gray space when converting to grayscale in photoshop if you want to have the most accurate rendition in both applications.
    And if you are creating the logos in Illustrator you shold probably be saving as .ai or PDF, rather than PNG, which is a raster format.

  • Why does SYNC take so long now? And why does it BACKUP every time i sync?

    Sync takes SO darn long now and when I sync, it does a BACKUP that is causing the sync process to take SO SO SO LONG!
    Whats the deal? anyway to turn OFF the BACKUP option?

    I have half a dozen screens full of apps - some of which will definitely have to go as some sync operations - especially if there are apps being updated for me takes hours. Yesterday it got stuck during an app update over the wifi - and I had to do a restore - the restore took some time - which included restore from a backup from only a few days ago - the following sync has been running for a couple hours now and appears to be only 75% or so complete. rather annoying.

  • Using InDesign CS6, why does a drop shadow applied to a text box, cause a photo on the same page to

    I thought it was just a screen appearance so I made a pdf and the photo is lighter here too.  I've never had this issue with CS5.5 or earlier.  Drop shadows were able to be applied to one object without affecting others on the page. Is it a bug? Is there a setting I'm missing?  Thanks!

    Overprint preview didn't stop the lightening of the photo.
    A google search turned up the suggestion to change the transparency blend space to RGB, which worked in InDesign.  When I make the pdf (no color conversion) it looks ok. But when turning on Output Preview in Acrobat, the photo lightens again.  Weird and frustrating - I'm not sure what the final output will look like. 
    Is Transparency Flattener set at High res an option?
    I appreciate your help!

  • HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book.  Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

    I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book.  (and on my iPhone as well)  Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

    The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
    If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

  • HT1364 I used these instructions to move my i-tunes library to the external hard drive that two different home pc's access. My playlists do not show on both Is it possible to have one i-pod synch amid two different computers that use the same library?

    I have a sole i-pod and two pc's, used the instructions for "iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder" in the hope that I could synch my one i-pod between two different computers that are sharing the same library. Is it possible to have two seperate computers that only share an external hard drive (one wireless, one not) ? When I am looking at a shared library should it appear the same on both machines (ie: playlists/ purchased list etc)?

    If it is moved correctly, playlists will display on both computers and it should be possible.
    Close iTunes.
    Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.
    When prompted to create a new or open an existing iTunes library point iTunes to the iTunesLibrary.itl file on the external drive.
    The entire library should now show up with all playlists and playcounts.
    Do this on both computers.
    Keep in mind that only one computer can access iTunes at a time, otherwise errors will occur when each computer attempts to write to or update the iTunesLibrary.itl file.
    Syncing may work seemlessly with both computers, but honestly syncing is designed to work with one and only one computer.

  • On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

    On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

    - Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
    - Next try a reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

  • Why does apple only support mp4 videos?

    It's not really a problem, i usually use my friends computers to convert my videos since mine is so slow.
    But why does apple only support MP4 and MOV formats? Why not MPEG or DivX?
    I know they cannot use WMV because it is a Microsoft format.
    It's just sometimes when i convert videos, the audio becomes out of sync or iTunes complains it's not playable on my iPod.
    I would just like to know why?
    Thanks for your time.

    If Apple chooses to go with H.264 or MP4 or whatever else they want to support, maybe it would be real nice if iTunes could automatically convert to those formats. So if I dropped my universally standard (and supported by most DVD players) DivX video clip in the library, iTunes would convert and format the video to an iPod friendly format.
    So, let me see if I understand this correctly. You want Apple to pirate proprietary codecs from DivX and build them into iTunes QT access. Tell me, does this mean that Apple is working as your agent and you will be the one spending time behind bars or paying the fines. Or, are you saying that Apple should act as an agent for DivX and charge you for a version of iTunes with legal codecs installed. How about Windows Media? Want to double the cost? What about Real? Or maybe Apple should have different versions of iTunes -- one for you and one for the guy who lives next door who uses old Indeo files?
    I have tried several 3rd party converters and they all suck.
    Perhaps you should be more selective in choosing a converter or invest in a commercial product which is supported by the people selling it.

  • Why does facetime only use a wireless network; isn't 3G the same thing?

    I thought buying an iPad2 with wifi+3g would give me constant internet time.  Why does facetime only work with a wifi network?  Shouldn't the 3G "kick in" if there is no WiFi around?
    My other problem is in the Photo's section: I've looked at the tutorials and read the sections on photo's in the ipad manual and I still cannot figure out how to label an album?
    Any help in both of these areas would be greatly appreciated...Thank You!!
    Paul J.

    Yes.
    Photos in the iPad's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. These photos are included with the iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but if these photos aren't imported by your computer and a problem develops with your iPad's backup in regards to this data and you restore your iPad with iTunes if wanted or needed, kiss these photos goodbye. The same if your iPad is lost or stolen and not replaced with another.
    As with any other photos on your computer that are organized by events or albums selected to be transferred to your iPad, import these photos with your computer and organize the imported photos in the same way you organize any other photos imported from a digital camera, etc. Select the albums under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences followed by a sync.
    This way you have the photos available on your computer's hard drive for access there as well along with being organized as you prefer, and which can be included with your computer's backup along with all other data.

    Your code has very little to do with what you are describing.
    There is no button with "switch until released" mechanical action. (OK is switch when released, stop is latch when released)
    A case structure always "works". Are you saying that it should execute e.g. the true case only once whenever the outer case goes from false to true??
    Your inner case goes true more than once per run of the program (whenever the OK goes true). If it should really only work once overall, use the "first call?" primitive. You need to formulate the problem using less ambiguous words.
    There is no obvious starting state for the boolean that you read via local variables. How do you ensure that it start with a known value? Does it matter?
    You seem to entirely deal with integers, so why are you using floating point representation for the numerics?
    What is the purpose of the orange numeric indicator. Is it just a kludge for your logic or does its value mean anything?
    Why does your loop not contain any wait?
    At this point, you should learn about shift registers. It would eliminate all your local variables.

  • Why does Notes close every time I open it?   I can't access my notes...

    Why does Notes close every time I open it?   I can't access my notes;
    there don't appear to be any.    Help!
    When I check in Settings, Notes has disappeared from the list of Apps
    On my iPhone, yet I didn't delete it.    I had dozens of notes, lots
    of necessary information stored therein. 
    Thanks for any help....

    I was having this issue also. I found this thread and disabling Exchange Notes did the trick. Obviously, this is the solution only if you were using Exchange to begin with.
    If you want to continue to use Exchange notes or perhaps try this to see if it works in general, I found a fix on this site. All works well now.
    1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
    2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
    3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them).
    4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
    5. Open Notes and it should be working now!

  • Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?

    When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Tom,
    Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange.
