Why isn't my iPad mini syncing to itunes?

I'm having trouble syncing my ipad mini. when i press the sync button after selecting install on newly downloaded apps it just wont sync! it goes as far as 'determining apps to install' but then just stops, just like that without any warning or anything. why and how do i solve this problem?

What I always suggest is to quit iTunes, restart your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again. Start with that if you haven't tried it already.
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 isn't my iPod being synced by iTunes?

I'm running Windows 8.1 on a new laptop. For whatever reason, my older iPod (model MB754C) isn't syncing with iTunes. I tried to Restore to factory settings and now it won't load my music (that's all I have) onto my iPod. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!!!!!!

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities

Are you using the same apple ID and password?
it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want? You will still be asked for your password.

Why isn't my iPad 2 giving me alerts for my all-day events?

Why isn't my iPad 2 giving me alerts for my all-day events? I have alerts set-up for 2 days prior. My alerts work for other calendar entries where they are set-up for 15mins prior.

The laptop has a more powerful wifi radio then the iPad. Try getting closer to the location where iPad can connect.

Hi sammieclue,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can download anything you've purchased from the iTunes Store directly to any of your devices. Here's how:

For future purchases, you can set your iPad mini and computer to automatically download purchases you make on your iPhone:

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why isn't my iPad sending my hotmail emails?

Why isn't my iPad sending my hotmail emails?

Yes I Can, but not when I answered direct from the hotmail on the IPad.
I think I will take it to the Apple store, they are pretty good.
Thanks so much.

Why won't my iPad mini synch with my PC (Windows XP)?

HT4101 Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?

Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?

If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad.

Ipad not Syncing with iTunes

I am having increasing problems with getting my iPad to Sync with Itunes on my 17" MacBook Pro. Both Mac OS and iTunes up to date with latest software as is the iPad. The trouble started a couple of months ago with some apps failing to sync. I deleted them from the iPad and then it was ok for a while, however this has repeated itself with an increasing frequency.
Today, whenever I connect my iPad to Itunes it will not sync. It starts with the message "Waiting to Sync" then after a while briefly displays Cancelling Sync and then stops. If I try and move from the Summary tab in iTunes to the Apps tab I get the spinning ball of death and iTunes hangs until I either Force Quit or unplug the iPad.
Interestingly there is no problem when I connect my wifes iPad to my Macbook Pro. However I have the same problem when I try to connect to iTunes on her MacAir.
I have reset my iPad's settings. I have restarted my Mac and iPad numerous times. I have deleted all the iPad backup files on iTunes and done just about everything I can find with respect to things even remotely similar from the web or discussion boards. Logically I have to assume it is something on my iPad however everything else is working fine - or so it seems.
Anybody else out there with this or a similar problem or any suggestions???
Thanks in advance.

I want to start off by saying the latest update is the worst piece of software I have ever tried downloading onto my computer. After three unsuccesful updates directly from Itunes I downloaded it to file and then installed three times before it succesfully installed. At this point Itunes would freeze when trying to recognize my Ipad, Ive reinstalled twice more including individual installs of Quicktime and Itunes and NOTHING is making this worthless software work. I am not impressed at all Apple, as a matter of fact I'm tempted to NEVER buy another Apple product again because of how poor this latest update is. but whatever, some help would be nice.

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.
