Adding apps and movies to someone elses ipad

Hi
I have been asked by a client to add some games and applications to an ipad belonging to one of their children. Is it possible to purchase apps and movies under a different itunes account without causing problems such as erasing existing stuff or causing update problems etc?
Cheers

No, sorry. What I did was load up the Xmas present iPad with my friend's selected list of apps and music, got it all going, then turned it over to him for wrapping it all up for his kid. I also showed him how to change the ID's password and how to do the restrictions that come built in.
We used his ID and CC data, of course, but it's a limited card and, well, if strange charges do start showing up on that account he pretty much knows me and where I live . . .

How to transfer selected apps and movies to new iPad?

I just received my iPad 3, and I would like to transfer some, but not all, of my apps and videos from my iPad 1.
I'm pretty confused as to the meaning of the Apps tab in iTunes. There is a list of apps to the left. Is this a list of all the apps that are "stored" in iTunes, whether or not they are on my iPad (or iPhone)? As far as I can tell, all those that are checked are also on my iPad. But there are some that are unchecked that are on my iPad.
Then there are "screenshots" of the pages of an iPad to the right. Generally, the layout of the apps on these screens match those on my iPad, but there is one app on the screenshot that's not on my iPad.
If I were to plug my new iPad in now and restore from this backup, what apps would move to the new iPad? How can I control those? Basically I would like to delete a lot of unsued apps from my iPad without losing them forever.
Same kinds of questions with videos.

The apps that have checkmarks next to the names are the apps that are selected to sync.
Those screenshots that you see are all of the home screens on the iPad and why you see an app on the screenshot that is not on the iPad does not make sense. If you see it on one of those screenshots - it should be on the iPad.
Anyway - simply select all of the items that you want to sync to the new iPad. Click on the boxes next to the names to select them. Deselect apps the same way - click on the boxes to remove the checkmarks.
You can pick and choose all of the content in each tab in iTunes - apps, music, photos. books - whatever - you can control what it syncs by selecting and selecting. Videos included. All of these apps that have checkmarks next the boxes will sync to my iPad.
This is how you select the movies that you want to sync.
All of the content that is checked in iTunes is what would sync - but that is not what would be restored from the backup. The backup contains all of your app data and app settings, the device settings, safari history and bookmarks, contacts, calendar entries, camera roll - and so on. The backup does not contain your media - you still have to sync that from iTunes.

When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder. When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library. When I hit "apply" I got this message:
Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
(By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
Thanks for your help - Pat

I have the same problem. I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad - clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad. WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

Please help me.

If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

Please help with restoring different apps and their data between 2 iPads

I just bought a new iPad Air 2 . I currently have 2 iPads, 1st gen and iPad 2nd, each with its own set of apps and their data. I backed up each older iPad manually as a full backup. I created a separate library for one of them when doing this. Now I want to transfer iPad 1st gen apps and data to iPad 2nd, so I reset iPad 2nd to factory and then restored from the manual back up of the iPad 1st gen and it seems to work fine. Before that I had backed up iPad 2nd's current data. So now I now I want to transfer the iPad 2nd apps and data to the new iPad Air. I selected the backup by the time stamp that I had backed up iPad 2nd. I didn't know how to rename each iPad to something unique. It restored from backup, but it's all the apps and data from my iPad 1st gen backup, not iPad 2nd.
I'm utterly confused. Even when I have the separate iTunes library open it shows all the manual backups I performed, so it's not truly a separate library. Do I need to manually install/remove the various apps on the newer iPad?

If you only have 1 file per quarter, one obvious thing to do would be to edit out the time in between plays, the time-outs, and the like. That is easily done in iMovie.
Having said that, importing (and exporting) in high definition takes time, and your times do not seem unreasonable.

How to download apps and movies to icloud

why cant i get my apps and movies that i download to go to icloud instead of my memory on my phone cause it is full ??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't upload movies to iCloud.
If you purchased the movies from iTunes, you can delete them from your device and re-download them at a future time when you want them.

Hi I want to attach word documents to yahoo mail app and some job portals using iPad I don't know how to attach it can u ppl help me thru this issue

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

I dowloaded an album to my iPad from iTunes and now I have no iTunes app and all music on my iPad has disappeared. My iMac won't let me sync because it thinks all my music is already installed/

You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

HT201210 Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! Someone please help.

Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! I payed for a lot of my apps, and my photos are just too important. Someone please help!

If rhe apps and photos are that important you made sure that you took the steps in order to keep them safe in an event like this didn't you?
You did backup the iPad before you decided to update the iPad correct?
And you did transfer all of your apps and other purchases into iTunes before you decided to update correct?
If you did, just restore the iPad and then restore from the backup at the end of fhe process and follow that with a sync with iTunes and you will lose nothing,
Now if you didn't do any of the precautionary steps ....

I have an IPad 2. I "had" it synced to my Mac Os Laptop until my child bumped my glass of water on my laptop and destroyed my motherboard. Is there anyway that I can sync my IPad to another computer and not loose all of my apps and movies?

Is there anyway that I can sync my iPad 2 to another computer without loosing all my data and apps?

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a thrid-party porgram like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod 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 include synced items like apps and music.

New iMa..old iPad and movies that are in iPad already not showing?

I have a new iMac and have transferred my iTunes from a MacBook Pro.
It didn't transfer so smoothly as all the playlists disappeared and some of the movies couldn't be copied.
I have now tried to add new playlists and movies with my previously synced iPad.
When I try to copy movies over it tells me my iPad is almost full(it does have the movies that were previously synced with the Macbook Pro still showing).
When I select the On This iPad option it only shows the 3 movies that I have recently added.
Initially a message came up saying that 2 itunes libraries couldn't be used (I don't remember the exact message)..I selected the option to delete the iPad and sync with this library but nothing happened.
Even the bottom tells me there is still 15.80GB free,yet when I try and add anything else like another movie or more songs it tells me the iPad is full?
Any suggestions?

What you are doing is now clear to me, you are explaining it perfectly. You set the iPad up via WiFi, visit you have not synced with iTunes on your computer yet.
I have one more "card to play". If this doesn't do it, I am totally stumped. There is no reason why previously purchased songs and videos - that are showing up in the purchased tab of iTunes and have been "downloaded" to your iPad - should not be showing up on the iPad.
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then see of the songs are there.

Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are
1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app
5) move files from z to y
Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.

hmm 2 questions:
1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
how do I get permission or something to fix that?
2) on the "move" command..
First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out..
but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
and all I see is ability to move a file..
Is this possible?
Thanks

Apps and movies won't open under my old itunes msn id, but the newer iCloud id presents no problem. i've reset the phone a number of times. is there away to get all my previous purchases from my old account transfered to the newer iCloud account?

i now have three Apple Store accounts. The first was when I signed up for mobileMe ending in "me." The second ending in "msn" And now the third ending in,"icloud"
The first two seemed to be linked and i would get notifications to update even when i wasn't signed into that account. All the apps downloaded worked just fine on my Iphone4 whether they were downloaded using my iphone or whether they were downloaded from my macbook pro no matter which account they were downloaded from. Now since i started using icloud and after a number of restores my Apple id under "msn" downloads on the apps and my movies all purchased from itunes won't open up. All the other id's apps open up just fine. I've reinstalled itunes, deleted all the apps under the msn account and tried to redownload on both my iphone and my laptop but, no sucess.
I think the only way to get the apps that i've paid for previously is the see if itunes could move my previous purchases from one account, "msn", to my "icloud" account. has anyone else had a problem like this and how can I makethis happen?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

Lost some app and game data when restoring iPad 1 backup to iPad 2

Very disappointingly, when I restored my iPad 1 backup to my iPad 2, I lost some but not all apps and games save data etc.
Some of that stuff took hours!
Any way of recovering it? Why would it affect some and not others, I wonder.

The same thing happened to me. All apps loaded (though I lost my folders), but not of the data. I was almost done with Angry Birds, and now I'm back at square one. ggrrrrr....
