How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1,  and installed Icloud.  This is where the problems all began.
Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar  events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all.  Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere?  I just wanna go home !  Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one.

    How can i get back my missing mini iPad, which was lost on Thursday night?

    Unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc, and if it was a cellular model then you should also contact your carrier

  • How can i get back dated iso4 for my 3gs iPhone

    Hi everyone iv got problems with my iphone i asked for my access code for my phone and paid for it off apple, and since then the battery's tripping and the phone 's not performing at all, iv reset, installed, every software angle possible really apart from a back dated version of iso, if its hardware i'll take it in to apple and pay to have it serviced, but i do believe iso5 onward does not properly manage the battery or any high powered apps properly and justify the support of the 3gs hardware, please can anyone point me in the right direction as i always go though apple on my phone and computer. How can i get a back dated version of iso that was designed for the iphone 3gs?

    No you did not.  Apple does not lock or unlock phones and as such, they do not charge to not unlock them.
    Carriers lock phone... carriers can unlock phones.
    You could take the device to Apple and have them evaluate the battery to see if it is performing to specs.  Apple does offer a battery replacement service.

  • Can i sync an ipad and iphone on the same computer

    I've got an iPhone 3GS and am thinking of getting an iPad 2 as well.  How does syncing the 2 devices on the same computer work?  Also, can I share Apps that I have purchased across the 2 devices, or do you have to pay for them twice?

    I am syncing my iPad and my iPod Touch using iTunes on the same computer.
    It's even possible to connect both devices at the same time to iTunes.
    Yes, apps are shared between devices, but only if those apps are actually able to run on both devices.
    You therefore only need to buy a certain app once and use it on your two devices.
    Your devices are in fact administratively attached to your Apple ID.

  • My apple account is blocked  i forget the answers of the security question so how can I get back because I put 180$ and I cannot use them at all ..why??

    I need an answer

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article(both of them list the UAE), filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I cant get pages to sync between iPad and iPhone

    I have installed pages on both devices and signed in with icloud following all of apples instructions. I have checked that icloud is set up in the pages settings, however each device just keeps its own documents on them and they don't transfer over. Please help!
    Am also have the same trouble with my contacts- they are both separate and are not crossing over even though I have turned on all of the switches I can think of. It is probably something very simple but I am going mad trying to sort it as writing my masters work on pages.
    My photos are photostreaming
    Thanks becki

    Bex,
    This might not be your issue, but I had the same thing happen. In my case, I was signed in to my account through my mac.com email addy on one device & through the same account, but with me.com as the domain name. Everything else worked for me, but I could not sync devices. You said that the usernames are the same, so this doesn't sound like it's the same issue, but just I figured I'd post it here just in case.

  • How can I get back all my data to my iPhone?

  • How can I get back my prior version of FIrefox browser as the update I downloaded 12-20-11 has NONE of my bookmarks & is ugly to boot.

    Right after updating my Mozilla Firefox yesterday, a screen came up asking if I wanted to update my Firefox browser. It then described benefits of the update. It did not say it would NOT import my existing Bookmarks. After downloading the new browser I had NO bookmarks, or even a Bookmarks tab. Also there was a Yahoo! search tab which I do not want and an extra line of tabs that made the search result window below smaller, which I do not like. I would be happy if I got my prior version of my browser back with all my Bookmarks. Please help.

  • How do I get calendars on my iMac, iPad and iPhone to sync automatically over wifi?

    How do I configure my imac, ipad2 iphone 4s and my wife's ipad2 so that the calendars on all of them will sync automatically?  I would like to have them all update whenever a change is made on any one without having to connect each to the imac and syncing calendars using itunes.  Thanks, Bruce

    That is what iCloud does.
    You need to be logged into the same iCloud account on each device, you also need to have calendar syncing enabled on each device in your iCloud settings. Once you have done this, your calendars should sync as you require.

  • How do I get my iMessenger working on iPad and iPhone please?

    My imessenger has stopped working on both my iPad 4 and iPhone 4. Any ideas? I have separate apple IDs for iTunes and iCloud/emails. Not sure if that makes a difference?!
    Thanks

    You may just need to wait for it. From what I read online iMessage is broken on Apple's end so you need to wait for them to fix it.
