I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

  • TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library.  Also, I can't add new files.

    I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them.  Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library.  It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine.  I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing.  Hope someone can help me. Thanks

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

But I have just started the computer and it has not brought in emails from the past 2 days. Can anyone advize me what to do? I am an Apple virgin after only ever using PCs.

    Are you connected to an ISP? Have you set up your Mail preferences per your ISP's requirements?

  • I have a generation 1 Appletv with the hard drive.  I have just bought a new mac, but cant seem, to sync photos back to appletv hard drive anymore, i know the Imac is syncing with it because i purchased a movie from Apple TV and it loaded it reg on iMac

    Hi louchad,
    The article below should help you sync the photos from your iMac to your Apple TV:
    Apple TV (1st generation): Syncing photos via iTunes
    The article explains this in more detail with screen shots, but the key points are summarized below for you:
    To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to Apple TV (1st generation) using photo applications
    Make sure you have iTunes 9.0.2 or later.
    In iTunes, select the Apple TV icon in the Devices list.
    Click the Photos tab.
    Select "Sync photos from: ..."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
    If you want to sync all your photos, select "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, faces, or collections, choose "Selected albums, events, and faces…" and select the albums or collections you want.
    To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to Apple TV (1st generation)
    Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on Apple TV (1st generation), create folders inside the main image folder, and drag images into the new folders.
    In iTunes, select the Apple TV icon in the Devices list.
    Choose "Sync photos from: ..."
    Select "Choose Folder" from the pop-up menu and select your image folder.
    I hope this information helps ...

    Signing into the iTunes account has never made content magically appear... it still amazes me that people think this will actually work.
    Type "move itunes library" into the search bar or your favorite search engine.  You'll find multiple results for how to move the iTunes library.

    I have just bought a new iPhone and gave my old one to my Mum. My problem is that even with a new SIM and phone number I seem to be getting her messages as well as mine on my thread. They are also being recorded as both sent and received so she must be paying twice for each SMS sent. Help please

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
    Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

  • I have just bought a new shuffle and cant get it to syn

    I have just bought a new ipod shufle and cant find the sync button.  The problem is that i have an old shuffle already registered.  I have downloaded the latest itunes on my laptop but cant see my new ipod listed anywhere, can anyone help please?

    The problem is that i have an old shuffle already registered. 
    That's not a problem.  You can connect multiple iPods to your computer at the same time, and each one appears separately in iTunes.
    If this is the first time you are using iTunes 11.x, the sidebar (along left side of window) may not be visible.  If so, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with the shuffle, if your old shuffle is a different type (2nd gen).  When connected, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  If you connect both shuffles at the same time, they should both appear under DEVICES.
    If that does not happen, please post back.

  • HT1202 I have just bought a new I pad 3 and want to give my I pad 2 to a friend. What will I have to do to clear my info on the old I pad and set it up on my new one? How are apple I D effected and passwords cleared?

    I have just bought a new I pad 3 and want to give my I pad 2 to a friend. What will I have to do to clear my info on the old I pad and set it up on my new one? How are apple I D effected and passwords cleared?
    Any advice welcome.

    To clear to old before passing it on, open the Settings app and tap on General (left hand menu). Scroll down and tap on settings, then tap on Erase All Content and Settings.
    If you have been synching the iPad to iTunes on a computer, you should also have backed it up. If you havn't backed it, you will want to do so before clearing the settings and use the back up to set up your new iPad.

  • HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have just bought a new Airport express

    I have just bought a new Airport express and I what to connect it to an exicting router. The router is not any Apple device. How can I expand my internet signals? My Mac can not find the new Airport express.

    The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly extend the signal of a 3rd party router, if that is what  you are asking about here.
    If you can connect the AirPort Exrpress to a LAN <-> port on your router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, the Express can be configured to provide additional wireless signal coverage that way.
    Please clarify on what you are trying to accomplish.  It would help if we knew what operating system your Mac was using as well.

    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    I must tell you, I am in the situation that MegsiPhone described and I am confused as to what to do.  Here is what I have done thus far:
    1.  I installed iTunes on my new computer, I wen't ahead and set up a new library file locally, and pointed to my NAS for all the music and movies file in edit>advanced.  From what I recall, when I did I can remember getting a whole bunch of messages about apps, new versions, overwriting.  I don't recall, regadless I dismissed each on and did not override.  Anyway, that's all done now.
    2.  I can tell you that I used to back up three iPhones and an iPod touch to my old PC.  There is a mixture of 4 iTunes ID's with various app purchases, it seems a mess. 
    3.  I did plug my phone in, it gave me the error message about syncing only to one computer.  Then I did a back-up and a sync.  I know it did not work right because it took a matter of seconds when I know it should take a lot longer.  Anyway, as a safeguard I am using iCloud back-up for now before I do anything else.
    So, what do I do now to make this all right?  I would like to be able to sync mine and my wife's iPhone to the computer.  Should I not bother and just keep my back-up in the cloud and are there disadvantages to this?  For my son's iPhone, I can let him back-up to the old computer, I would assume that would remain good and I would not have any issues.  Should I erase the back-up on my new computer, erase the appss or whatever and start from scratch?  Kind of not sure how to handle, please help.
