Rucke Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Recently I got an iPad 2. I have some problems with importing files from iTunes into the iPad. Basically I can't do anything. I can't move or remove files, can't create new playlists. I can't choose any options because they are all marked with grey text. I have updated the software but it's still the same. No probelms with syncing my iPhone 4 though. Works perfectly fine and I can add new music, films etc. All the things I want to be able to do with my iPad as well. Any ideas how to solve this?

Wolf68k Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Stupid question but I have to ask. Is the iPad seen/listed in iTunes? Can you take a screen shot to show exactly what you're having problems with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is it set to auto sync everything? I try fiddling with the options under the iPad's 'home menu' screen you get in iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew1g Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 it's probably greyed out because you didn't' tick the sync *insertmediatypehere* box as demonstrated below: Tick that box and you'll be able to sync whatever you want. If that didn't work, then you better post screenshots as wolf suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rucke Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) My iPad: Everything is completely paralyzed, can't move, import or remove anything either in iTunes or the iPad itself. My iPhone: How it should be. Edited March 15, 2012 by Rucke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just out of curiosity why on both pictures does it say the Iphone is connected, and not the Ipad and the Iphone? The only thing I can think of is what Matt said, and that you haven't clicked what you wanted synced on the actual device before you start making playlists and what not.

Because the menu is in the way. They are both connected and synced. I'm running out of ideas why I can't use my iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky12 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't you have to authorize the iPad for it to work or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) What version iOS is running on the iPad? What version of iTunes are you using? What happens if you go file > sync "Rickard's iPad"? And this is probably a silly question, yeah, but have you got the iPad plugged in with the cable? Or are you trying to sync over wifi?

Wolf68k Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Ok let's take this step by step. First sync one at a time. Not really sure that's needed but it's just a suggestion to eliminate any possible problems. When you say "files" exactly which files are you referring to? Explain in more detail to the exact problem. Instead of screens with of the File menu, take some screens of the iPad pages in iTunes; which ever part of file transfer you're talking about, Music, Apps, Tones, and so on.
