Can I do the set up for my dads ipad on my computer, or does the set up have to be done on his. On computer

You are really best off in setting it up on the computer that will be used for back ups and itunes.   The pad will only respond to a single machine.  If you set it up on yours, the first time he goes to update it, it will erase the contents and try to start over.

  • Can I update my dads ipad from my computer without syncing?

    My dad is in town and I want to help him update his ipad to ios5.Can I update my dads ipad from my computer without syncing my stuff onto his ipad??

    You could but it's probably not advisable, because as part of the update process all content is removed from the iPad, the update is then applied, and the content is then re-synced to the iPad - so is all your father's content (media, apps, synced photos etc) on your computer so that they can be re-synced back to it ? It is usually best to only sync and do updates via your own computer.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer. Do I need a portable single unit Router?

    How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer? Do I need a portable one to one Router for the wiFi connection. My Internet is through Telstra 3G system.

    Is your printer a wifi printer or hard wired only? If it's a wifi printer then you might want to look into third party apps like Print n Share or Print Central which allow a version of air printing to non-air print printers.
    You may also want to look on the manufacturer's site. Maybe they have a fix for you.
    If your printer isn't wifi, then you will need a router to get it on a wifi network to print to it. As far as I know, there is no support for the iPad to do wired printing.

  • Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

    Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

    FOr this and anything, read the fine print on the charger. It should say that it takes an input of 100 - 240v. That means all it needs is an adapter. If it doesn't have that number range then don't plug it in. (like stedman says, official apple chargers are rated for world wide power)

  • A friend gifted me a copy of The Amazing Spider-man, I redeemed the code, now it tells me I can't download it onto my Ipad (1st Gen) because it does not have a gyroscope. Is there a way for my friend to get his money back, or a way for me to download it?

    As a second option I can play on my 1st gen Ipod Touch. Does that have a gyroscope?

    Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
    iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store - Apple states all sales are final, but you can always ask nicely.  Your friend should have checked the specifications of your ipad before making the gift.

  • I need to find out if SMS Messaging can turn on automatically when my Ipad receives an Update or does a Password have to be entered to do this?  IE, when my IPAD SMS is turned on then my Iphone messages can be accessed.

    I need to find out if SMS Messaging can turn on automatically when my Ipad receives an Update or does a Password have to be entered to do this?  IE, when my IPAD SMS is turned on then my Iphone messages can be accessed.

    Maybe I used the wrong term for it.  Basically, someone recently had my Ipad and somehow turned on my messaging so they could read all of the messages on my Iphone.  I would think this the password was used to do this however they advised that the Ipad had an update which then activated the messaging.  Can this happen?

  • When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library.

    When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I only have one iTunes account, so I am a little confused. If I select the option to "Transfer Purchases, I get an error message that says "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    Any suggestions is appreciated.

    Have you synced to this computer before?

  • I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.

  • Whats the lastest software  i can put on a macbook 2.2 GHz intel core 2 Duo. the software i have on the laptop right now is the Mac OS X (10.6.7)?

    whats the lastest software  i can put on a macbook 2.2 GHz intel core 2 Duo. the software i have on the laptop right now is the Mac OS X (10.6.7)?

    It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    If it's the Late 2007 model 3,1 then 10.7 is the most that it can run.

  • HT4972 How does someone who has a 1st generation iPad but no computer update to the current operating system?

    How does someone who has a 1st generation iPad but no computer update to the current operating system?

    You take the iPad to someone or somewhere where you can update the device using iTunes on a computer. There is no other way to do it. You must use iTunes on a computer.
    Apple Stores will update the device for you. Make an appointment at an Apple Store for help.

  • My iPad will not load my photos from my pictures using ios5 iTunes. Works fine with my iPod. Does the fact I have photos taken on my iPad have any impact?

    My iPad does not load my pictures folders from iTunes. It works fine to my iPod. I am using ios5 and a pc, does the fact I have photos taken on my iPad got anything to do with it?

    Having photos that you took with the iPsd has nothing to do with this at all.
    When you sync photos to the iPad, you can select one main photo folder only - as described above - using the sync photos from heading within the photos tab of iTunes. You can have one level of sub folders within that main folder as well that you can sync to the iPad.
    All of the photos must remain selected to sync each time or the unselected photos will be erased from the device.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Click on the "Sync Photos From" heading and navigate to the pictures folder on your computer that you want to sync.
    Click on all of the sub folders within that main photos folder that you want to sync. You can select as many sub folders within that main folder that you want to put on the iPad as long as you use one level of folders only in the main photos folder.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
