How do you connects the same iPad to iTunes which is already synced with another computer

You can only use one iTunes library at a time when you sync your devices. If you want to sync to a new computer now, look at this.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
And here is another helpful article.

  • I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Help.

    I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Wondering how to get my device from the other computer especially since I don't even know what computer it's connected to.

    At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes.  It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time.  Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
    If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
    If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.

  • How do you get songs off of itouch when it has been sycned with another computer

    How do you get songs off an ipod touch to a new computer when the ipod touch has been synced with another computer.  The other computer died.  Thanks!

    You don't.  Unless they were purchased from the iTunes store, then you can go to File > Transfer purchases.  Or you can right click (ctrl click if you're on a Mac) on the name of the device in the source list in iTunes and then choose Transfer purchases.

  • I had to replace my hard drive and when I plug in my iPad, itunes says  it is synced with another computer, and asks to erase all my data. Help!

    I had to replace my hard drive and now when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another library

    That is because the iPad can only "sync" to one iTunes library at a time. You can move all of the iPad contents into a new iTunes library. This discussion will give you a lot of useful information.

    This one is Mac specific - not that it is any different except for the iTunes menu.

    Remember to authorize the computer in iTunes first - From the iTunes menu go to Store>Authorize this computer.

  • How do i edit the cd information in itunes so that it syncs with my ipod

    why wont my cd information in itunes sync with my ipod after I edit. I like for my albums to have one artist instead of the main artist and featured artist it just makes music eaiser to find. i'm new to the apple word coming from a mp3 this is so complicated.

    If you havent synced to a computer before then see if this page helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    In terms of updating the iPad, your games progress should be included in the backup. How long it takes to udpate will depend upon your content on the iPad (it will backup and restore it, though the contents of the iPod and Videos apps aren't included in a backup) and wifi speed - the iOS update file is something like 700 meg so may take a while to download.
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • My ipad is telling me it is synced with another computer which is not possible.

    I was trying to sync my bookmarks between safari on my computer and my ipad. I plugged my ipad into my computer to check the settings in itunes. I then noticed that i had not set my books to be synced between itunes and my ipad. When i tried to sync them, i got the error that my ipad is synced with itunes on another computer and can only be synced to one computer.
    I dont understand why it would tell me this when i used this computer for my ipad. I setup my new ipad 3, i then plugged in my ipad 1 into my computer to make a backup. Then while going through the setup on my ipad 3 it gave me the option to recover from a backup on my computer. I chose that option and havent messed with my settings since. I might have plugged it into my other computer to charge, but i originally set it up with this computer, i never have touched anything on the other computer when ive plugged in my phone or ipads, and my phone does not encounter this issue, nor does my original ipad.
    Why is it telling me i need to have it synced to only one computer, when this is the only computer its ever been synced to? What can i do about this, i dont want to wipe my ipad and then recover from a back up again when this error shouldnt even be popping up in the first place.
    I have not done any drastic changes to my computer like reinstall the OS or recover from a backup. Im not even using a different user, i have no need to.
    Anyone have any idea what i should do? Is wiping my ipad and syncing it with the computer it was synced to before my only option?

    What exactly will this do? This wont reset my stuff will it? I have some stuff saved on my ipad that i believe wont get transfered over if i wipe my ipad. Please lemme know because im affraid to try this until i know its not gonna reset my ipad.
    @Demo, i plugged it in and itunes auto launched form the other computer, i think it was barely charging it or just holding it at the charge level the battery was at. I did this after i had gone through the setup steps where it asked if i wanted to recover from a backup. This is when i plugged it into a computer for the first time and i restored from a backup of my ipad one on this computer. The other computer was the one i plugged the new ipad into for a short period of time. Idk how auto sync works other than on my main itunes, my phone for example will auto sync videos i have. But i didnt really set anything up on my ipad. Also the original ipad was syncing to this computer as well.
    Thanks

  • How do you clean the leather iPad cover?

    How do you clean the leather iPad cover?

    I've used my leather iPad cover (black) on three different iPads now - the iPad 2, the iPad 3 and the iPad 4 - over a period of more than two years.  I've never found the need to clean the cover.  If I were to do that, I would probably use a clean microfiber cloth much like the one I would use to clean the iPad's screen.
