I switched to iCloud to sync our iPads, and now want to sync our iPods with iPads without using our PC - possible?

Can anyone help?

If this is music that you purchased on the iPad, you CAN download the songs to the iPods again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as you live in where the feature is available from iTunes.
This is copied from the Downloading Past Purchases article here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in  Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela.
What I said is that you can't sync directly from one iDevice to another iDevice. You don't need the PC if the music was purchased from iTunes. Just go the purchased tab in iTunes on the iPods and start downloading again.

    I was syncing my ipod touch on a friend's computer and now want to sync to my new mac book, will I lose all my stuff?

    Not if you do the following:
    - Transfer iTunes purchased to the new computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using one of the third-party programs discussed here:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    - Move a copy of the iPod backup file from the old to new computer.  That file is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    - After the stuff is moved/transfered, restore the iPod from the backup you just moved to the new computer and sync as necessary.

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

    You probably need to move your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER from your PC to your MAC...
    You can do this via an External Drive...

  • Set up iPad on one computer and now want to sync to another computer

    We gave my Dad an iPad for Christmas (16 GB, WiFi), mainly as a photo album to amuse my ailing mother.
    I live in Ontario and he lives in BC. I bought the iPad and set it up using my iMac. Put about 600 family photos on it and sent it off to him in BC. I knew that this might cause a challenge when he attached it to his iMac, but I figured let's try it anyway.
    He has connected it to his iMac and wants to add photos from iPhoto. Is there any way to preserve the photos that I put on, or are they going to get wiped as soon as he adds another album? I can always transfer the files to him via CD or FTP, and he can put them into his iPhoto and thus to the iPad from there. But is there an easier way?
    Hope this makes sense. In short, if he wants to sync more photos from his iMac, do we lose all the photos that I put on there from my computer?
    Thanks!

    Not entirely sure about iPhoto as I don't have a mac, but when syncing from folder(s) only the contents of the most recent sync will be on the iPad - but I assume that iPhoto will be the same and will therefore remove the previous sync before putting the ones on. He also won't be able to copy them off before syncing as you can only do that with photos loaded via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websties.
    This article has some general info on syncing photos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • We purchased Lion OS in April and uploaded to our iMac and now want to upgrade out MacPro.  We cannot figure out how to use the previous purchase (says you can use on 3 computers)....confused.  How do we begin the process using our previous purchase?

    We Purchased Lion OS in April and uploaded to our iMac.  We are now ready to upgrade our MacPro, but can't seem to find out how to upgrade using the previous purchase (said we could use the Lion OS purchase on up to 3 devices).  We have the receipt of purchase with the Order # and Purchase #, but I just can't figure out how to do the upgrade.  Where do I go?  What reference # do I enter?

    Go back to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Lion. It should show up in your Purchases list ready to download. If it doesn't, log out, log back in, and hold down Option key while clicking on Purchases.
    A tip: Once the download is finished, dismiss the Installer. Go to your Applications folder and find it - copy it to another folder or hard drive to keep for emergency purposes. Then click on that installer and install (it is automatically removed/deleted after the installation is complete). That way you can avoid having to do another lengthy download.
    And, yes, just to confirm: you can install Lion on as many Macs you own and control. However, the license is not transferable; if you ever sell the machine, you need to erase Lion and reinstall the original OS.
    You don't go to iTunes - go to the Mac App Store (in your Applications folder). You do need 10.6.6 (or 10.6.8) to have the Mac app store.

  • I've recoverd my Ipad and now I can't pair it with my old iCloud account. I can see my music in my iPad but can't play it. How can I solve this problem?

    How can I pair my iPad with my old iCloud account?
    Thanks!

    Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
    To unhide your purchases
    Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.
    Scroll to the bottom of the main page.
    If you're not already signed in, tap Sign In.
    Tap your Apple ID name, then tap View Account.
    Scroll down on the Account pane, and tap Hidden Purchases.
    Locate the item you would like to unhide then tap the Unhide button.

  • Hi there, I have recently noticed that Itunes has stopped working on my Windows Vista PC. I wasn't too concerned about it as I had everything on my iphone and rarely used it. But I recently bought an iPad and I want to sync it to my itunes account.

    I am getting a message that the Data Execution Protection Settings are closing the itunes program. But , when I try to change the DEP settings it is not possible to do it for itunes. I have also tried to un-install and reinstall the itunes ( and apple related programs ) but that hasn't worked either. I am not sure that I have done that correctly though as I have been told it is difficult to do? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

    I knew that, my question was more about the viability of using the ATV without having a TV connected and contolling it directly from an iPad to stream music.

  • HT203164 I have purchased several books on tape via my computer and now want to sync them to my ipod....I can't find the appropriate buttons to do that.  Also though I have receipts for books purchased they are not showing up on my Itune purchased list. 

    I have purcase several audio books via Itunes and they are on my computer however I have been unable to figure out how to transfer (sync??) them to my Ipod.  Also I have receipts for several Itune audio books but they are not showing up on my purchased list. Help!!!

    lizdance40, audio books are NOT available for redownload. Books with words areavailable for redownload.

    Open iBooks on the device and tap on 'purchased'. 
    download.
    iTunes does not garentee to carry a book forever, a serious flaw.  If you can't find the book in iTunes anymore and didn't keep it on the computer, or backed up, it may be gone.
    To add audio books to the iPod;
    you have to check the box at the bottom section of the Books screen that says, "sync audio books"

  • I just rented a movie on my ipad, and now want to watch it on my Apple Tv

    I just rented a movie on my iPad (which does not have sufficient space to download the movie) with hopes of being able to watch it on my Apple Tv when I got home. However, when i got home, the Apple TV is says that i need to re-rent it. If i 'purchased' (rented) the movie on my iPad, shouldn't it be in my iCloud, so that I can watch it on any device?

    A movie purchased on an iPad can only be viewed on an iPad. You would need to rent via computer and use home sharing or directly on Apple TV if you wish to view on your HDTV.
    You haven't purchased the movie, it's a rental and thus won't be available in the cloud.
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
