Cannot Transfer Files with iTunes on iPad

I have Omnigraffle, Keynote, Sheet Music, and SketchBook Pro. All four apps can transfer files into and out of the iPad. I have images that were created on the iPad, or imported from external tools (I have a couple of Keynote files that I transfered from my laptop). I transfered music PDF's into Sheet Music and used it on my music stand at rehearsal the other night, but tonight the transfer code doesn't work - my files don't even show up as available, although the iPad apps have no trouble seeing them - only iTunes is blind.

Not sure what to do. Checked for updates and installed 9.1.1, but the symptom was not resolved. Guess I'll have to mail my files or find some other transfer method until this gets resolved. Would be even better if we could sync over wifi or bluetooth instead, but I guess that's going to be cut & paste for this model.

To those having troubles, if you open Console.app and watch the system log, do you get a message with error number 0xe8000007 every time you click on a different app under File Sharing in iTunes?

For those that tried reinstalling iTunes, did you also delete (or rename to move aside) MobileDevice.framework and DeviceLink.framework located in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks? The installer is smart enough to avoid an install operation that will downgrade components. Restart before the reinstall.

FYI, iPhone SDKs include these frameworks, so this may affect your ability to work with devices in Xcode.

Cheers aburgh,

I had this issue and I had the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 2 installed. I uninstalled the SDK, removed those frameworks, reinstalled iTunes and everything is fine now.

For others, the error I found in my logs was:
iTunes[557] AMDeviceStartHouseArrestService (thread 0xa0b104e0): Could not start AFC service: 0xe8000007

Thanks again.

IMPORTANT: This list will not contain all of the presentations that are on your iPad. If you have not exported the presentation from within Keynote for iPad then that presentation will not be displayed in the list.

Solution:


My issue was this, I was trying to sync music that I keep on an external harddrive. When this hard drive (shared by airport extreme.) goes to sleep the songs on that library get an "!" next to them in itunes. To solf this, I have to click on the "!" and it wakes the hard drive.


Once they songs synced to my iphone, I stopped getting this error.


My guess is that you are trying to sync something that isn't easily accesable from itunes.


IE: a movie you moved/deleted/ music on an extrenal hard drive that isn't easily found.
