How do I tell my iPad to only synchronize with one computer?

How do I tell my iPad to only synchronize with one computer? I can change settings before connecting to another computer, or I can slide the sync bar quickly when I connect to another computer. But I'd like to make a setting and not worry.

HI Howard,
Instructions for syncing more than one computer here.

  • TS1474 I changed my computer (old one is dead!) and now when I want to sync the contents of my iPod onto my new computer, it tells me I can only sync with one computer (i.e. the one that died!) How do I get around this??

    I changed my computer (old Dell is dead!) and now when I want to sync the contents of my iPod onto my new computer (a Sony Vaio), it tells me I can only sync with one computer (i.e. the one that died!) How do I get around this??

    -Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • I just bought a new computer, now itunes tells me I can only sync with one computer.  It only offers me the choice to erase and sync.  I do not want to erase my ipod, I just want my music on the new computer.  Can't I just transfer the songs from the ipod

    I just bought a new computer.  Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer.  I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod.  Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there?  I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.

    You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

  • How do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

    how do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1.1 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

  • IPhone can only sync with one computer?

    Well I'm not even really syncing my iPhone, I set it to manual so I could pull songs off of my cousins computer because I don't put many songs on mine. But I went over his house and said I had sync it thus I had to delete all the songs off my iPhone so I could get his... I didn't do it but I have to ask, is this suppose to happen? Or is there a way around it like I could do with my iPod?

    The iPhone can only sync with ONE music (iTunes) library at a time. You can't "merge" songs from more than one iTunes library. This is different than with the iPod.
    you can merge 2 itunes catalogs to 1 ipod? wow i didn't know that cool.

  • How can I start using IPad without first syncing with my computer?

    I'm out of town and just bought a new IPad2.  I don't have my computer with me and won't be able to use it for another 2 weeks.  How can I start using my IPad before syncing with my computer? 

    You must activate it by syncing it to iTunes on a computer. An Apple Store can do it for you - or anybody with a computer that meets the minimum requirements and has iTunes 10.2 on it can activate it for you.
    If you have someone else activate it, bear in mind that when you do finally sync to your computer, iTunes is going to tell you that all content will be erased because you already set it up on another computer with another iTunes library. Your iPad will sync to one iTunes library only. That is way they are designed to perform.
    You CAN transfer any purchases that you make on the iPad to your iTunes library when you perform your first sync with your own computer, however, and I would strongly suggest that you do that when you get the chance.
    If you do set it up with another computer, I would keep the purchases and downloads to a minimum so that keeping all of your data is not a big problem when you finally sync to your own PC.

  • Ipad will only charge with one charger, not recognize by pc or itunes

    I have an Ipad 1. I bought a third party car charger to charge the ipad. I charged it with this charger one time. The next time I tried to charge the ipad with the original 10W wall outlet charger, it would not charge. I bought another apple ipad charger, thinking my original charger had quit working, it still would not charge. I plugged it back into the car charger and discovered that it will only charge on that particular charger. Now itunes nor my windows pc will recognize the ipad. I uninstalled itunes and installed the newest version. I also hard reset the ipad and now I have a worthless ipad that will not connect to itunes. Any suggestions?

    It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
    You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may not work)

  • How to get ipa onto iPad that is synchronized with another computer?

    I got the iPad (not jailbroken) of my friend for testing purposes.
    Of course she synchronizes her iPad with her own computer. How do I get my flash created IPA onto the iPad without deleting any of her things?
    With XCode it's very simple - you just connect the device, load the provisioning profile onto it and deploy the app onto the device.
    How to do it for a flash created IPA?

    Control-click on the IPA and select Open With Stuffit Expander. Or, rename it to .zip and double click it. I have Stuffit Expander set to open IPAs, so that saves a bit of time.
    Once it's expanded there's a Payload folder, and inside that is the app file. Take it to the Organizer window in Xcode, just like you would with any non-Flash app file.
    Incidentally you'll want to do the same thing when submitting an app to the App Store. Unzip the IPA and zip compress the app file that is inside the Payload folder, and use that zip as your submission file.

    Transfer the iTunes Library from your old computer to the new computer and then continue syncing as normal.

  • Ipad shows all regular Iphone inbound calls as Facetime.  I only want true FT calls to appear. I switch audio/video and it still happens.  How can I set the Ipad to only register true facetime calls rather than all inbound regular calls?  thanks

    My Ipad  will show all regular inbound calls, from Iphone, as Facetime calls.  I would like only TRUE facetime calls to appear. I have switched audio/video on Ipad but it still happens.  How can I set the Ipad to only register only true FT calls rather than all inbound calls that a re not facetime calls?  Yes, you may have to reread this twice and slowly to understand..... Thanks!

    Hi webn,
    I understand that you do not wish to see phone calls on your iPad anymore. I have an article for you with some information on accomplishing this goal:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

    How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

    When you plug in the iPad iTunes will want to restore it/wipe it, so if you do not have the apps in your iTunes then you can copy the apps from the iPad to iTunes when plugged in by right clicking the iPad and selecting "transfer purchased..." which copies the purchases into iTunes.
    However as iTunes will only sync to 1 iTunes, it will then want to wipe your iPad, so you need to make sure you have everything in your iTunes that you want back on your iPad.
    This is to stop people taking their iOS device to a friends and then taking their paid songs/video/apps.
    If you still do not have all of the apps in iTunes, you can either download the Apps via the iTunes store or try and find an application that lets you sync from the computer to the iPad and via versa in place of iTunes.

  • How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.

    How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.  Each device has a different name. But every time I plug them into iTunes on my Pc all the apps get screwed up. apps disappear etc.  I have "sync apps" selected without automatic updates. I'm thinking I should have this unselected, but that does make sense to me. Shouldn't I be able to have one iTunes account and manage each device independently.  What settings to do I need to apply to itunes so that every time i plug the devices in they don't get all messed up? thanks in advance
    Also, Iphone 4s is possible to rotate pictures without extra hassle of downloading software??

    You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
