After I sync my ipad with my macbook air, the apps show up in my itunes on my computer,  but when I click on them nothing happens.

Kristyn,
Those Apps listed in the iTunes Apps library will only work with iOS devices. They are not designed to work on your Macbook Air system.

  • I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up" but when I click on "ok", nothing happens.  Can't turn it off either because of the lock.

    I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up".  When I click on "ok" on the message, nothing happens - it is locked.  Thought turning off the iPad would help but because it is locked, it won't let me slide to power off.

    Have you tried plugging the iPad into power and letting it backup over Wi-Fi?
    You should be able to reset your iPad.

  • Why can't I open a new tab? The + is there, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I've even tried File - New Tab. Still nothing!

    Suddenly, I am unable to open a new tab. I can click on a link and open a tab that way, but if I want to open several sites on my own, I have to open a new browser. I've tried clicking the +, and clicking File - New Tab. Neither are working. I've even checked Tools - Options - Tabs. That didn't work, either. Please help!

  • I can't read my files from "pages" app on iPad after taping on "copy from iTunes". I see the name of the file but when I tap on it nothing happens.

    I can't open my files (pdf) from "pages" app on ipad after taping on "copy from itunes". I see the name of the file but when I tap on it nothing happens.

    The acsm file is not the book, it is a ticket to get the book.  I sometimes get library books online, here is what I do.
    1. Start ADE on the computer
    2. Go to library website and find the book I want to download.
    3. Click on the download link
    4. In windows 7 a box opens asking whether I want to open( or run) or save the acsm file
    5. Click open/run and ADE downloads the book into the "Library"
    6. Transfer the book (epub file) to the reader.

  • I synced my ipad with my macbook air but the contacts on the ipad were all deleted. Can't seem to find a way to restore them. Contacts on macbook unaffected

    I tried syncing my ipad with my macbook and checked the box to replace the contacts on the ipad with the contacts on the macbook. Now the contacts on the ipad have been deleted (address book now empty). The macbook contacts have been unaffected. I'm not syncing with icloud. Any solution?

    James Ward4  Thanks for your suggestion.  I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes.  Thanks again.

  • Problems syncing 64GB iPad 2 to MacBook Air 1st Generation

    Before I had an iPad, I used a MacBook Air for portable applications and travel. I never kept much on my MacBook Air (just word files, and the occasional song or photo). I had an old iMac for home use, and to sync with my little mini-iPod for the gym. (The iMac has a huge photo archive and gym music; the MacBook Air has some old precious family photos, some recent trip photos, and a more car-friendly, thoughtful collection of music. It also now has back-up from all my iPad 2 applications, books, movies, iTunes classes, and music)
    Since May, I have been backing up my iPad 2 64GB to my 1st Gen MacBook Air, and loading more photos and songs on my iPad and my Air. Silly me...I clearly wasn't planning ahead...since there are only 72GB of memory on the 1st Generation Airs. So, of course, now the iPad 2 has 36GB or so of data on it, and the MacBook Air has run out of room. I can no longer sync, and all the apps on the Air are running slow!
    I tried moving all media files off the Air to a 1TB external storage device, but that's unruly. When I try to sync, I get difficult questions about whether I want to "replace all files on the iPad 2"? And even if I were brave enough to say "yes", with so many files on an external device, the MacBook Air no longer feels portable.
    I'm open to buying new hardware (say, a MacMini, or--after taking some months for saving money, a new laptop or desktop). Or combining iTunes profiles and photos somehow between my iMac and Air, and then syncing to the iMac instead of the Air, and letting the Air become once again a relatively empty portable laptop. Or will the iCloud solve all my problems?
    I'm looking for suggestions and solutions....

    I had the same beeping problem, using an apple cable plugged directly into one of my iMac's USB ports.  Worse, at one point in trying to eliminate my iPad Air beeping, iTunes would not recognize my iPad as a device.  After trying various remidies I saw posted, I elimited the beeping and was able to sync with my iMac by doing the folowing:
    1.  Restart both my iMac and iPad, with them disconnected, and an apple connection cable in one of the iMac's USB ports (not in a USB hub).
    2.  Open iTunes on the iMac
    3.  Eject every device that iTunes identifies, even though they are not connected (for me, two iphones and my wife's iPad).  After uyou eject the last device, the "x devices" button will disappear.
    4.  Connect the iPad Air to the iMac via the Apple cable.  I heard a single beep, and iTunes found my iPad in about 5 seconds.
    5.  I was then able to sync/backup my iPad to the iMac.
    Hope this works for others.

  • Can I view books I've downloaded on the ipad on my macbook pro?, can I view books I've downloaded on the ipad on my macbook pro?

    I have downloaded 2 books I would like to read on my ipad, but I want to read them on my macbook pro....is there a way to do this?

    I just dragged the book file from itunes to my desktop and it came up as an 'Adobe Digital Editions' file that I could easily open.. Digital Editions is a free download from Adobe that had already been installed on my Macbook. That was good enough for me, but I'm not a serious ibook reader..

  • I just downloaded 30  free apps from Itunes but when I tap on them on my Ipad nothing happens.

    I have tried reset but that didn't help either.  I have plenty of room according to the Itunes connection to my Ipad so why won't the apps I just downloaded open.  Most were free but I may have paid for 2.  I also cannot download apps from my Ipad alone because it brings up an old email address not the new one I opened so I have to download them on my computer and then sync my Ipad to get them.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Try deleting the 'broken' apps and re-downloading them.
    There was a DRM (digital rights management) problem with some apps updated and downloaded from the App Store between July 3rd and July 5th. Apple fixed the problem, and re-released the apps:

  • HT4972 I just got done successfully syncing my iPhone for the first time to my mac but when I clicked update it had a notice and I want to know if it will delete my music if I continue to update.

    The pop up says
    "Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPhone. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music videos, and photos.
    Updating on this computer will only preserve contacts, calendars, text messages, and other settings. Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete. iTunes will verify the software update with Apple."
    What do I do now? My only options on the pop up are cancel or update.

    After the update you sync your content back to your phone. It should all be in your iTunes library & thus there should be no issues putting it all back on your phone.
