Can an iPad be upgraded from a computer that is not the syncing computer?

My bf has an iPad that he has synced with his parent's iMac but we've moved several states away. If I upgrade to iOs5 using my mbp, will it require the device to sync with this computer?

Yes.

  • How to restore Ipad from previous backup that is not the restore list?

    I did a firmware update for Ipad from 5.1.1 to 6.1
    I backup my Ipad before I did it at 4.46am
    Then I restore my Ipad so it will install IOS 6.1
    However I accidentally set it up as new device with a differrent name (default suggested by itune which is "AL's Ipad")
    Then I try to select my previous backup called "Ipad 3"
    But I cant see "Ipad 3" from my restore list.
    So can I restore my "Ipad 3" backup?

    If you went through the process of restoring your iCloud backup, then tapped Show Older Backups when asked which backup to restore to and the backup you're looking for isn't listed, there's no way to recover it.  You could check to see if you have an older backup on your computer that would have the data you're looking for by opening iTunes and going to Setting>Devices and checking the Backups list.

  • How do you add songs from iTunes 11 that is not the main synced library to an old 80GB classic iPod?

    My boyfriend and I found his old 80GB iPod classic in his stuff. I synced it to my Macbook Pro. I was then trying to sync all his music from his iMac onto the iPod so that the iPod contained both libraries, but in the iTunes 11 I cannot manually drag and drop all the music onto the iPod. I could've with the other devices on the computer but not the iPod Classic. Is it just too old? How can I put all our music onto this one iPod?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How to restore from a session that is not the most recent

    I used the Forget button and it closed out of my windows and opened a clean window. I've started up and closed out of Firefox several times since then so using any type of 'Restore Previous Session' option won't work because the tabs I want aren't the most recent. The ones that I want were what I had before I clicked the forget button. I want to know if there's a way to restore from past sessions.

    Sorry, but not. Because the function of this button is exactly like if you made clean record.

  • How can I get a refund from another country that does not have an Apple Store?

    While going to the US for the summer, I went to the San Francisco Apple Store.
    I saw the Apple Gift Cards, and I was wondering if they would work on my Taiwan Apple ID, so I bought a $25 gift card and a 4 cards bundle pack each with $10 inside.
    But then now, coming back to Taiwan, I realised the gift cards was only valid for US users so I asked for support from Apple
    and this is what they replied:
    I understand that you are unable to redeem the gift card to your account, the card purchased in another country. I know you must be eager to get this issue resolved at the earliest. I can do my best to help you.
    Jonathan, I'm sorry to inform you that, iTunes Gift Cards are only redeemable in the iTunes Store for the country that is listed on the back of the card. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
    This did not help me at all...
    There is only resellers in Taiwan, so there is no way I could get a refund from Taiwan
    so what should I do in order to get my money back?
    Or in other ways, an exchange upon other Apple products?

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

  • Can't purchase a song from an Album that I cancelled the pre-order for?

    Ok, so here's the deal, I bought a £15 voucher and made some purchases, the first of which was the pre-order of an Album that was released today (Sunday 24th). I didn't know however, that the cost of the purchase was deducted from your balance once you actually downloaded the album, and I've spent my credit to the point where I'm pennies of being able to pay for the pre-order of the Album. I decided however, to hit cancel pre-order and simply just download the songs that I could afford, then download the wrest at a later date. However, the album that I've cancelled my pre-order for, still displays as 'Purchased'? I was able to download one song for pre-ordering the album, but that was a deduction of 99p, the price of a single song. I'm curious why I cant't purchase the wrest of the album individually, am I tied to the pre-order because I downloaded a song that was advertised as 'Early Access', or do I now have to pay the full cost of the Album because I've surpassed the deadline to cancel the pre-order (if there is such a thing).
    Some one please help me
    P.S. I've only been using iTunes for less than a week, so I'm pretty much a noob.

    Delete the problem track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Time Machine-restoring from a backup that is not the most recent

    My hard drive was failing so I backed it up to Time Machine and had it replaced. It failed again and I replaced it again. The trouble is that the backup seems to also have become corrupt. The Genius Bar told me to try restoring from an earlier backup, but it doesn't want to do that. Migration Assistant doesn't let me choose the earlier date and Time Machine won't replace the entire drive, refusing to replace the Applications and Library folders. If I boot from a different disk I can't choose the destination.
    Even though the earlier backups are probably fine, I have no way of recovering them without some guidance.

    I found the answer. The way to access the earlier backups is to boot from the 10.6 install DVD while the Time Machine drive is attached. Choose the primary language, but then instead of proceeding with an install and using the transfer near the end, go immediately to the Utility menu and choose Restore From Time Machine. It will display the Time Machine Drive and allow you to choose a backup by date.

  • Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync

    Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync?
    Thanks joanlvh

    You can update it on your computer, but then when he syncs it to his own it will say this iphone is already synced with another itunes account bla bla and will ask you if you want to sync it with this account. It will wipe anything you put on it using your own itunes account. BUT it wont wipe off the new iOS5

  • HT201272 how can I transfer an app from my computer to iphone. The download button on the app is "gray" - won't download again.

    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
    My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
    I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken
    Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
    You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
    But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.

  • HT4623 Can I update/upgrade my ipad model # MB292C? I find that many of the apps I have require a newer ios.

    Can I update/upgrade my ipad model # MB292C? I find that many of the apps, such as games I have downloaded require a higher ios and won't update on my ipad.

    From what I could find, that is an iPad 1. You can only update to iOS 5.1.1. You can do that on your computer. It may be time to look for a newer iPad as the apps now are set to use iOS 7.0.4.

  • Can my kids download tunes from my computer and their computer at home?

    Can my kids dowload playlists from my computer to the nano's? The nano's are tied to their home computer. Or to put it another way can a ipod or nano be registered via two separate computers or itune accounts.

    No.
    IPads sync with one computer. Attempting to sync them with more than one will result in the contents being wiped. ALso, your apps are tied to an apple ID, so unless you have their iPads on your apple id, they'll have to start all over with their apps.

  • HT4910 Can I restore my apps from a computer if I restore from itunes

    Can I restore my apps from a computer if I restore from icloud or itunes when I have not backedup by apps?
    My apps are in my media folder in itunes.
    Thanks
    Kenfromw

    I just wanted to update this chain since I was able to solve the problem I had. My iPad backups were on a time machine backup, but not on my new computer. In my most recent time machine backup I navigated to:
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and took the most recent folder from there. I copied that folder into the corresponding directory on my new machine, and then when I opened iTunes and plugged in my iPad it was there and I was able to restore it!
    Note that if you have multiple devices, you can open that folder in the Backup directory and find the info.plist file, and near the top it will say the name of the device, so I was able to tell which was my iPad backup and which was my iPhone backup.
    Problem solved!

    Did you turn on syncing of contacts in iTunes?  BTW, this does not involve iCloud.  It's strictly computer to iPad via USB cable.
