Can i back up my files  on the ipad 2 to my pc

Everything on your iPad should already be on your PC if you've been syncing it with iTunes regularly as designed.
What, specifically, do you want to backup?
Everytime you connect the iPad to iTunes it makes a backup automatically.
You can transfer apps you have purchased directly on the iPad by choosing iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

    Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

    I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
    Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility?  That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
    Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
    Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says.  Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
    The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

  • How can I back up my files and photos on my iPhone to my iMac?

    How can I back up my files and photos on my iPhone to my iMac?

    You can back up the iPhone to your Mac with iTunes.
    Make sure, your iTunes version is up to date. Connect your iPhone to an USB port and launch iTunes.
    See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If you want a separate folder with your photos, download the camera roll contents by connecting the iPhone to USB. You emac will see it as camera and you can download the photos using Image Capture to a folder on your Mac, or using iPhoto or Aperture to your photo library.

  • Backing up files from the iPad

    I'm buying an iPad Retina tomorrow.
    I will be traveling with it shortly, and will be storing images from my camera to the iPad via a Lightning USB connector.
    Does this connector work the other way too?  I.E. can I attach an external USB key to the connector and copy files from the iPad to the key?
    btw, I do understand that I can backup using iCloud, and I will do that when I can, but uploading a day's worth of RAW files over a slow wifi isn't going to work.

    No, you're correct about wifi in Italia. It's almost always slow as heck but depends where you are. Traveled there twice since 2011, and lugged a 13" Black Macbook and external drive to back up photos in raw. Worked great but heavy. Some folks recommend the Seagate wireless external 1tb hard drive to back up files, but can't seem to verify it will handle RAW files in DNG or whichever format used.
    Others prefer the Nexus 7 Android tablet since it can connect to a portable hard drive via it's USB port and allow backup of files directly (as the iPad should be enabled to do). Not sure what Apple was thinking by depriving photographers of a critically important step in their work flow.
    I ordered a new Haswell/Intel Asus Chromebook which has built in SD card slot and USB 2 and 3 ports. You can plug in a hard drive and use the chrome book as a conduit by which you transfer camera files from the sd to the hard drive.  This, in a chrome book under $300-, and under 3 lbs. A great alternative to a way more expensive Macbook air.

    These are supposed to ship very soon but maybe not in time for your trip. I am only using it on such trips for email, web browsing, documents in google docs, and photo backup to external drives.

  • I have upload my iphone, but i can't back up my file. someone can help me???

    I have upload my iphone, but i can't back up my file. someone can help me???

    You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
    Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

  • How can I back up my files during a Kernel Panic?

    Hello, I am new to these forums.
    Okay, so last week I updated my Macbook Pro like I normally do (I'm assuming it was 10.5.7), but then when I restarted my macbook I saw the apple logo and then the screen turned grey and a bunch of numbers and letters filled the screen (which I now know is a Kernel Panic or something).
    I am unable to login at all or even see the log-in screen, all I can get to is the apple logo when I first turn on the computer. I plan on making an appointment at my local apple store, but they told me to back up any files I didn't want to lose.
    So my question is...
    How can i back up my files during a Kernel Panic if I can't even log in?
    I have my original disks from when I got my macbook pro if that's any help?
    Should I just tell my local apple store that I need help backing up my files?
    or am I screwed?
    Thanks for any help

    Well, when I turn it on a box appears over the apple logo and says something like "please restart your machine or hold the power button for 7 seconds".
    and the numbers and letters appear random to someone like me but I'm sure it says something to someone who knows about it. At the very beginning of the "random" numbers and letter it says something about kernel and panic and I googled some of the message and it kept leading me to other people who said it was a kernel panic.
    Also I tried to start it while holding shift and it never goes to single user mode it just does the same thing as if I never pushed or held shift. I'll try the whole firewire thing if I can figure it out, but I don't have another mac so I'd have to do it with a PC.
    Edit: Also I did one of those hardware tests using the osx dvd and the short test said i have an error (and when i googled that error it brought me to people with kernel panics) but when I did the extended test that took about an hour and a half it came back saying everything was fine.

    In your reply you stated that iPad microphone is not very sensitive. And that you could hardly hear the play back.
    Are you speaking of a speaker's  nature voice or an individual using an audio system. Also how close were you to the speaker?

    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and later.) 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 installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

  • How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

    How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
    It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

    Jayhawk
    I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
    Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.
