Changing iMacs for iPad backups

Currently I have set my Backup location for my iPad to my iMac.
If were to get another iMac, would all of my data (books, apps, etc.) be available for this new iMac so that when I synch with this new iMac I don't lose anything on my iPad?
-Mike

You can use Target Disk Mode on the older Mac and transfer all of your content to your new iMac. No backups would be lost. You just need a FireWire cable, most likely 800 to 800 unless you have an older Mac.
See here for TDM.
Alternatively, you can just re-download all of your iContent (from iTunes/App Store) on your new Mac.

  • How to see the changes made for iPad in iTunes on my iPad?

    How to see the changes made for iPad in iTunes on my iPad? I've been transferring some pdf-files and changed the name on them in iTunes under the index books for my iPad device, but the changes do not show in iBooks-PDF. What to do?

    Yes I tried syncing a lot of times, but the changes still wouldn't show, so I did as you said by beginning from the start by adding the PDF's once again.
    Thanks for your help, it works now :-)

    Hello Tanzie68,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT4623 password request for  Ipad backup.

    in restoring Ipad to a previous backup in Itunes, the software asks for a Password 'Enter the password to unlock your IPad backup' is the specific wording.  What password does this refer to?,Apple ID password and Ipad 4-digit code didn't work.

    Sounds like this backup is encrypted (a separate password option on your iPad Summary in iTunes) and if you don't know that password you can't install it for security reasons.

  • Need word with track/accept changes enabled for iPad

    When is Apple going to provide a version of Word of iPad that includes track changes/accept changes like the full version of word?
    This is an essential feature for editing documents.

    Apple doesn't provide any version of Word - Microsoft does. Even if MS does develop and release Word for iPad, there is no guarantee that this feature will be there - I don't think any of the leading WP apps in the app store provide tracking changes.
    There are two apps that allow you to access a full version of Word through remote servers - CloudOn and Desktop OnLine. They are free for now, so worth checking out.

  • I'm looking for iPad backup to windows software reviews

    I'm looking for software that will run on windows that will backup/restore reliably :
    iPad2 / iPhone 5
    1. apps.
    2. photoes / movies.
    3. Settings.
    4. Documents.
    5. Contacts
    6. iBooks
    Thank you,
    Docfxit

    I realize iTunes is available for partial backups.
    I do sync with iTunes.  I don't like iTunes.
    1.  I have 4 different devices I need to backup up.  iTunes lets you have one account sync'ed to one PC.
    2.  iTunes doesn't backup everything.
    3.  iTunes fails sometimes and you loose what you have sync'ed.  I would like backup software that is more reliable.
    Thanks,

  • Help! My PC running iTunes for iPad backup crashed.

    I no longer have iTunes backup for my iPad, and there is no way to resurrect that hard drive, it is toast. My problem is, backup was to the PC and not the iCloud account. How do I switch to a new backup on my laptop without wiping out my iPad?

  • USB Adapter for iPad 3

    Can i conntect the ipad 3 thru the camera connection kit with an external harddrive? My idea is to upload pics from my digicam to ipad and from ipad to external harddrive. Is this possible? What options do I have?
    Thanks!

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:

  • Is safari for iPad uncomfortable?

    I have ipad and iphone4 both.
    But safari for iPad uncomfortable for me.
    Safari for iphone4 have back button on the below of the screen but for ipad have back button on the top.
    With my iphone, I can touch back button easly and I use that button frequently on the web surfing.
    When I use ipad for web surfing, it is very uncomfortable to touch back button on the top of the screen and my hands are always on my legs.
    I don't know why safari for ipad is different from iphone. It's uncomfortable.
    Is there anyone have experience like me?
    I would like to change safari for ipad as same as iphone's.
    I wonder other users or apple's opinions.

    This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple doesn't respond here. The will neither give you an explanation for why it's different nor chime in with whether or not they like it.
    Why does it matter whether or not other people find it uncomfortable? Will that change how you feel about it? I suspect that, even if lots of other people say it's fine, you still won't like it. And that's ok.
    There are two things you can do.
    1) Try one of the many other browsers available in the App Store. I really like iCab. I think it's much better than Safari.
    2) Submit feedback to Apple

    See if this post from turingtest2 helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24351688
    If not then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Windows forum, you may be more likely to get better help there.

  • I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    You can't simply change the details.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

  • What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

    What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.
