I had my music stored on iTunes on my laptop, which is no longer working, so I bought an iPad, but cannot work out how to transfer my music files from my iPod to my iPad. Why is there no way of connecting one to the other??? Frustrated

I had my music stored on iTunes on my old laptop which is no longer working. I purchased an iPad 2 but don't understand why there is no way of connecting my iPod to my iPad to transfer my music over. Is there an app or something I can use to operate my iPod through my iPad, instead of a PC? If not, then I guess I should've bought a new lap top instead of an iPad.

Select all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

I was using a PC with my iPad. PC died. Now using Mac. Need help to transfer apps to Mac from iPad. iPad to Mac, but cannot figure out how to transfer apps to Mac

I was using a PC with my iPAD2. PC has died. I have bought a MacBook Air. I have managed to transfer iTunes from iPAD2 to Air. However, cannot fuigure out how to sync apps onto my Air? This is critical because iPAD has a failing battery and it will be replaced. How do I not lose all the apps on the iPAD?

Connect iPad.
Cancel out of the synced with other computer message.
Right click on the icon of the iPad in iTunes, select transfer purchases.
Also, open iTunes-go to the store.
Look for "purchased" on the top right.
Click on the link-shows music, tv shows, apps purchased from iTunes.
You can download from there.

How can transfer my PDF file from my Computer to my iPad ? Ps: my computer not Mac .

I have books and files in my computer I want to relocate it to my iPad to read it, what should I do? Step by step please .
My PC is not Mac.

You first need one or more apps on your iPad that support the types of file that you want to copy over to it, the iPad doesn't have a file system link a 'normal' computer, everything has to be stored within an app.
For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of word and excel documents). For documents the options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD. As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc.
For iBooks, which supports PDFs, you should be able to add the PDFs to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and they should go into the Books section of your library. You can then sync them to iBooks by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S), and on the right-hand side use the Books tab to select and sync them to the iBooks app.

Your music will only be where you put it. It does not magically appear in other places. Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some coutries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

Is there a way to get rid of the other space without restoring

Is there a way to get rid of the other space without restoring on an ipad

RESTORE NOT NEEDED TO RESOLVE "OTHER" SPACE ISSUES
I may have a solution for this as I also experience this problem on the iPad 4 (retina display) 16gb where by I had over 2gb as "other space"
First and foremost "other space" should be between 800mb and 900mb - these are preferences, apps, syncing data (not the actual photos your contacts yo may sync)
I plugged my iPad into computer and did my normal sync
I ejected the iPad.
I turned the iPad off by pressing the on/off button and then sliding across to power down
I waited 5 - 10 minutes
I turned the iPad back on and waited another 5 - 10 minutes
I connected it back to my PC and opened iTunes
I noticed that the 2.74gb "other" space reduced to 835.4mb within a few seconds.
I downloaed iExplorer and installed it (free version will do the trick)
Have iTunes open with iPad already connected
Open iExplorer and click "demo"
Under your iPad navigate to Media> Photodata> Thumbnails
Here you will see the following file names: 158x158, 240x240, and 332x332 with the extension .ithmb - make a note of these file sizes.
Right-click each one and hit delete and click ok if a warning sign comes up
Eject iPad using iTunes
Close any open apps
Do a hard reboot - hold the home button down and the on/off button together until the screen goes black and turns off - this can take up to 10-15 seconds to do
Sometimes the iPad may reboot by itself, and sometimes it may not - if it doesn't use the on/off switch to turn it on.
Open iTunes and then iExplorer and navigate to Media> Photodata> Thumbnails once again
You will see the same files you just deleted - but instead of being the size you made a note of, they will be considerably smaller.
Go to iTunes and check your "other" space and should be within the 800mb to 900mb
This also works with the iPhone 4s and other devices running iOs 4 onwards.
I have several devices currently on iOs 6.1.1 and all the "other" space currently shows between 800mb and 900mb which would appear to be normal
I hope all this helps and please let me know if it solves or doesn't solve your issues

How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC

Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put in on Facebook? Thankyou

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

I moved iTunes TV files from my PC to an external drive. I want to return them to my PC so I can watch during travel, but cannot figure out how to move them back. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

I moved some iTunes TV shows from my PC hard drive to an external drive. I can watch them as long as the external drive is plugged in, but I now want to move them back to my PC to watch from the internal drive, but cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Is it just the TV Shows that you moved to the external, or did you consolidate all your media there?
What is the current location of the media folder given under Edit > Preferences > Advanced?
If the media folder is currently pointed to a folder on the internal drive you could select the files you want to copy, then right-click and select Consolidate Files from the pop-up menu. This will leave the originals behind. If you want to move specific files to a new media folder then my script ConsolidateByMoving can do this.

When you add a background over your picture/sound footage the background has 2 fade toggles that both move in mirror fashion. Is there a way to lock one of the fade toggles on a background colour? iMovie 10.0.6

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?

I can see an RSS folder from SharePoint on my phone (yay!) - is there a way to have this with the "Connect to Outlook" option?
We've got a bevy of test phones here and I've been able to see RSS feeds in an Exchange setup using Android (along with other folders) but no Lists that were hooked up using "Connect to Outlook" button from SharePoint.

Hi,
You are viewing Mobile view of the site into your phone. If you open the same site in normal PC view i.e. the same look which you have in your computer then it will give you an option to connect to outlook.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion but clicking on 'Connect to Outlook' from various phones doesn't seem to work. "This webpage is not available." -- I didn't really expect it to do anything as I think this was meant to be done on a computer. And then
the result is that the documents would be available in Outlook.
And then, my question kicks in: is it possible to see these files that are now in Outlook on a phone that's connected to the Exchange Server.

How do I sync an app from my iPod Touch to iPad 1 without losing its data?

I am using a baseball simulator app called 9 Innings on my iPod Touch. Is it possible to sync this app from my iPod to my iPad 1 without losing all of the data? (season stats, milestones, etc.) When I tried to sync it to my iPad, I had to start all over from scratch. Any help? Thanks.

App data and app settings are contained in the iDevice backup and not stored in iTunes on your computer. Syncing the app will not sync the game save progress to your iPad. The progress should be saved if you restore the iPad from th iPod backup. The only problem with this is - if you restore the iPad from the iPod backup - all of the data that was on the iPod will now be on the iPad.
So if you absolutely have to have the game synced to the iPad with all of the saved data in place, the only way to do that is to restore the iPad from the iPod backup and then sync the game to the iPad - or download it again via the purchased tab in the App Store.

Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

Thanks Tgara.
Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
Argh!
I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol
