HELP have wiped my pad and cant transfer all data back to Ipad from Mac air

does anyone know how to restore my Ipad 1 as i updated itunes on mac & Ipad know my Ipad is wiped but i can see all music, videos etc in itunes on mac

To transfer the media in your iTunes library back to your iPad, sync it with iTunes. Restoring other data and settings, however, will necessitate restoring your iPad backup, if you have one.

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Recently synched my iPad w/Mac computer and all my iPad apps were removed. Purchased 11 apps on 9/20/11 and paid for 10 of the 11. Can I get them back w/o repurchasing them?

Recently synched my iPad w/Mac computer at home and all of my iPad apps were removed. I purchased 11 apps on 9/20/11 and paid for 10 of the 11. Can I get them back without having to repurchase them???

I tried to edit my last post but did not get in under the time limit. Read this thread. It will give you all the information that you need to create your own iTunes library on the Mac.
There may be more information than you really need, but the instructions cover virtually every possible item that you would want to transfer over.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
Read my instructions and King Penguin's instructions. This was posted for a PC laptop user but it works the same way on a Mac - the instructions to turn off auto sync will be slightly different on the Mac - iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.

HT4910 i forgot the password on my iPad; I have it backed up on my Mac, so I saw that I just should back up from iTunes. I tried to do that, but it says to first turn off "Find my iPad", which obviously I cannot do because I don't have my password!! Help

Have you tried using Find My iPad on a computer to remote wipe your iPad?

My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

Backing up iPad "Notes"

I manually backed-up iPad to PC running Windows and then reset iPad to factory default erasing everything. I am able to find photos and videos in the back up location, but I cannot find "Note" files; are they backed up the same way as photos and videos? and where can I find them? I searched windows, but other than iPad crash and log files can't find "Notes" files. Does anyone know if they were even backed up? Need help.

You will not see the actual notes themselves in the backup, the files in the backup are not readable - without some app that will translate what they are. I use translate for lack of a better word right now.
If you restore from a backup, then the notes in the backup will be restored to the iPad, but you cannot pick them out of the backup folder as needed or to read them on your PC.
if you want to see where your backup is located and look in the folder, this tells you where it is. Be careful what you do in that folder, you don't want to hose your backup.
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

backing up ipad to computer?

Do you have a question about backing up your iPad ? You can copy your iTunes purchases from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and then force a backup by right-clicking (command-clicking on a Mac) the iPad 'device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac) and selecting 'backup' on the popup

Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud. Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices. If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences. If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so. Then recheck them.

Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
Appleid.apple.com
I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
It was verified previously so I was done.
I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
It worked.
It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
