Windows 7 syncing ipad issues

just got windows 7 pc and having issues syncing my 1st gen ipad to it. I already updated bios but it won't sync. Does anybody have any recommendations that I could try. I'm using a Gateway NE56R... thanks

I see. I didn't realize that you could sync any content from an external drive to the iPad without going through iTunes and as far as I know - you do have to go through iTunes in order to sync you music and videos. Have you tried syncing with iTunes? You will have to import the music and videos into your iTunes library first.
Read this discussion. The answer that was marked correct was posted by one of the iTunes for Windows experts on the ASC. According to what he is saying, you still have to go through iTunes.

Can't sync iPad 2 or iPhone 4 since updating iTunes on Windows 7.

Since upgrading my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.4 I havebeen unable to properly sync both devices with iTunes 10.4.0.80. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit. The issue is when it goes to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook 2010, it will just sit there for > 30 mins doing nothing but “syncing contacts”, not going beyond that point. I have to cancel sync to get out of it. Steps I have taken include unticking sync contacts, calendar, bookmarks and notes, (this allows apps and photos to sync without issue) , removing the Apple USB device in Device Manager, and finally reinstalling iTunes.
I’ve never had sync issues with previous iOS and iTunesversions on this PC.
I’m out of ideas, any help out there, please?

None of the solutions in this thread or other similar threads have worked for me. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all Apple files using the correct sequence. I have disabled all Outlook plugins except for the two Apple plugins. I have disabled Bonjour and run Itunes in Windows 7 Compatibility mode.
I also seem to have a slightly different issue and I think the issue may be with the Outlook Itunes plugin or the Outlook Change Notifier plugin.
Here's my situation since upgrading to iTunes 10.4.0.80 and iOS 4.3.5 - although the issues started with earlier versions of 10.4 and 4.3. I am using Outlook 2010 32 bit version on Windows 7 64 bit version. I am using Outlook with a PST file not MS Exchange.
1. The sync appears to go okay with the backup, preparing to sync, syncing contacts, syncing calender, syncing notes, etc. Successful backups are shown in the Device tabs in Preferences and if I run iTunes diagnostics all tests are successful.
2. Any edits I make in Contacts or Calender on my iPhone are not apparent in Outlook after a sync. The Notes seem to sync just fine.
3. Edits I make to Contacts or Calender in MS Outlook are inconsistently synced to my iPhone. Sometimes they sync and sometimes they don't.
4. No for the really wierd part. If I connect my iPad and sync all of the edits that were originally done on the iPhone are present and correct on the iPad. However, again edits that were originally done in Outlook are sporadic.
So it appears to me that the data in the Outlook file is probably syncing correctly but that the display of the data within outlook is not correct. This makes me think the Outlook Change Notifier might be the issue. I just don't know how to test this or fix this. I know there is a cache used with MS Exchange but I cannot find any cache with a PST file.
Any help or other ideas would be appreciated.

Windows 7 within iTunes 12 stops working when sync iPad

I am at my ends wit. I have spent 3 days trying to solve this, without any success. I have really time better off than sorting stupid software problems.   (Someone had a great rant, so I won't rehearse it - but it seems to me that if
there is an issues, it should at least give some clear of what the software stops!!). It seems to me that no one (NO ONE) is owning this problem There are plenty of people who have the problem, and although some suggestions, it looks to me that
there are just that - suggestions.
I have posted my problem on the Apple forum. I have not heard. But it seems to me that we (I) don't even know if it is an iTunes or a Windows problem. and now I have no idea which way to go....
Rant two ends. The problem:
I have windows 7 SP 1. iTunes 12.0.1.26. I can imports CDs and play music. But when attempting to sync,"iTunes has stopped working". It stops (usually) step 6. No doubt many of people have seen the issue. I problem have
not attempting to update since updating iTunes 12. (On the side, I have not been able to update iTunes without deleting and reinstalling it for some. Accordingly, I update with some concern, and only updated to 12 because I installed a new (different
laptop), and wanted to keep the same levels.
The steps I tried
Sync iPad Air (iOS 8.1). Failed.
Tried to sync iPhone 5S. It stopped. I then looked through the apps etc in the phone. I noticed, that my photos were not being synced (I had an issue with memory issue some months ago - now sorted - and so checked resynced them.
Tried again, and worked. Hmmm. (iPhone is at iOS 8.1)
Made changes with the apps etc on the iPad to recreate the same good result. No success.
I deleted iTunes etc (in the correct order) and reinstalled. No success. tried a number of times. (one of the definitions stupid is to try the same steps expecting a different result)
Searched google, apple and microsoft pages. Read them all. No one seems to have a clear answer to the problem, let alone the solution.
Backed up iPad, and restored iPad. No success - and now, of course the thing is now in a totally uncertain state. It won't ask for sync, but if iTunes starts, the iPad carries on.
Deleted and reinstalled iTunes etc. No success. Tried again (and again? - I have lost track)
Someone suggested going back to iTunes 11.4. Tried that (once sorted out the library files have been changed). Now, same result. (it all worked happily previously)
Tried a hard reset on the iPad. No luck
Discovered one post suggest that QuickTime may be a problem. Deleted iTunes and Quick Time. Reinstalled iTunes. No success.
Discovered turingtest's post "Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows" . Followed the steps, including deleting the folders (only Program Files (x86)/common files/apple were there) and turned off AVG. Same bad result.
Status:
I am thoroughly out of sorts. And it is Tax time, which improve my temper.
iTunes 12.0.1.26 installed. iCloud installed
windows 7 SP1. The PC is not asking for any updates.
Qucktime not installed

iPad is probably useless, until problem solved - not all photos or apps downloaded

Issues with Photo orientation after syncing IPad

Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the ipad changing the orientation of photos following syncing ipad with itunes. What I have been experiencing is that although the photo is in portrait orientation in iphoto on the imac, this same photo after syncing of the ipad with itunes on this same imac machine, the photo when opened up on the ipad is in landscape orientation. Have consulted with senior advisors at apple but not sure if this is an iphoto problem or an itunes/ipad sync problem? seems to me that whatever the orientation of the photo is in iphoto, that when you sync the ipad the photo should transfer with the same orientation. anyone else having this problem?

There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer.

I have both an iPod and Ipad 2. Latest I have sync. ipod. Now when I want to sync. iPad 2 in iTunes its only iPod mentioned in sync. window and it does not help to connect iPad. its not shown in iTunes. What to do next?

I have both an iPod and iPad 2. Latest I have sync. iPod and now I want to sync iPad, but iPad is not shown in iTunes when connected. I have the latest iTunes version.

If your computer starts image capture or some other camera software you should be able to quit that and then your iPad will show up in iTunes. Mine does this all the time.
The preference on what to start up when a "camera" is connected is found in Image Capture. So start Image Capture. It's in the applications > Utility folder. Then look for preferences. In my version it's in the lower left corner. Select None or Nothing and quit the program. From then on your iPad should show correctly in iTunes. But you will most likely have to start your smear software manually when you do connect a camera to your computer.

Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

Hello,
After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
3) Deactivating the firewall;
4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
I cannot sync anything at all.
BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
Thanks.
D.

No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail. For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud. I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work. When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed. If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers. hmmm. I hope they get this bug fixed some. would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go. Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating. I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

ITunes has stopped working when syncing iPad Air.

Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
This is intensely confusing, sorry.

Question.....
"I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
Answer.....
Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

Error message when syncing Ipad in itunes: unable to load data class

Hi there:
I t tried posting this question on the ipad community but no luck.
What happened last night I was trying to sync/backup my ipad 2 running ios 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5 (?) for over an hour. It stuck on step 2 of syncing ipad and it's been on that for a while. when I get to step two, after it asks me if I want to sync my purchased on my ipad to itunes, I click ok. then i keep getting the follow error message: itunes was unable to load data class information from Sync services. reconnect or try again later.
I keep trying and this message keeps popping up on step two;
then in itunes when I click on my ipad under devices, itunes will freeze.
I can't figure out what happened. when I previously synced I had no problem and it was quick.
I even tried to download itunes again and "repair" it but still same problem.
Please help.
thanks

Windows 7 Driver Issue

I cannot get my windows 7 home premium N (64-bit) PC to load the driver for my iphone 3g. I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled a fresh OS (windows 7) trying to fix this issue (moments ago).
The computer knows that it is an iphone. It shows up in the device manager under "other devices" and is listed as "iphone" with the yellow ! next to it. It is not showing up under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
I have tried to update the driver - pointing to the path C:program files(x86)/commonfiles/apple/mobiledevicesupport - with no luck. I have tried to uninstall the device and reinstall it. I have tried all usb ports on my computer. I have tried different usb cables (all apple) and had no success. My iphone will successfully connect to my father's computer (vista) with no problems. It will also connect to my G4 laptop and sync without issue. so it is not an iphone hardware issue. this is specific issue with my PC.
I even tried manually downloading the driver off of a website and still no luck. The message I get when connecting is "Device driver software was not successfully installed," with a red X - No driver found in the dialog box.
I just installed the latest itunes on a newly formatted drive. still no luck.
I am getting very frustrated and have tried all advice found on the web - including all recommendations at the apple support site.
Please help!

Cant sync ipad it keeps disconnecting

11.04.. latest at this date version of Itunes
both windows and ipad are updated.
windows 8.1 updated to latest.
Itunes disconnects my entire USB setup when I try to sync.
This just started happening.
I haven't tried syncing the tunes in a while. I was trying to clear some space.
But now when I am TRYING to put music back on,
It STOPS midway - ipad gives message : can't sync # of tracks..
My USB is reset, Itunes goes on its jolly way as if nothing happened.
But NOTHING else is wrong with my setup - it works perfectly until I try to do a simple SYNC.
This is NOT the first time it has done this, one of the older updates was a piece of crap also.
If you aren't going to let us access the music folder without forcing us to go through Itunes,
can you at least make it work without being a pain in the ***????????
Or how about giving us access to the music folder so I can add my own **** music without this archaic backward slow idiotic and BUG ridden itunes crap.
Or fix it. or tell me how i can fix it. i'm sick of it to the point of wanting to throw my ******* ipad in the garbage.
unfortunately i have invested heavily in apps and the platform.
2 ipads 3 iphones and a ton of apps = sorry you're having trouble... try our knowledge base..
seriously!

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
 Cheers, Tom

Unable to sync ipad to itunes on desktop due to being unable to download version 11.1

My iPad2 is updated with iOS 7.0.4. Whether I manually connect the iPad to the desktop or try it wirelessly, I get a message stating that I must have iTunes 11.1 or higher to update. When I click check for updates, iTunes says I am not connected to the internet, but clearly I am or I would not be able to send this message. I went to apple.com downloaded 11.1....it said thank you for downloading. I restarted computer. However, I'm still getting the same message from iTunes and can't sync iPad. Help please.

Hi JSinMCO,
If your iPad is not seen correctly correctly, please walk through the steps in this article.

Of course take the steps in order and test.

When syncing ipad to my itunes i get the message 'sync could not be finished because the sync failed to start' help!!

when syncing ipad to my pc's itunes i get the message 'sync cud not be finished as sync failed to start' help

So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID.

How do you use itunes to transfer pics from windows to Ipad?

How do you use itunes to transfer pics from windows to Ipad? I went under "advanced" under itunes and found photo sharing, but when connecting my Ipad to computer,nothing happens.

With the iPad connected to your computer and with iTunes running and the iPad selected - You sync the photos within iTunes by selecting the folder from which you want to sync on your computer - while in the photos pane in iTunes.
