Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can I just connect to itunes through the ipad only?

Vague.
What are you trying to accomplish?
The ipad is not a stand alone device.  It is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
You can buy itunes content from your ipad, but you need to transfer it to your computer and included it in your regular backup of your computer.

  • HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time.  it also does not interact with the remote.  Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

    I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV.  I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV.  It attempts to set date and time and cannot.  I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also.  Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionshttp://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
    Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
    Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
    Select Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
    Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
    If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
    Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
    Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
    If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.

  • I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I started to do that then it said that this will become their apple I.D or similar and then I thought that will disconnect them from the same iTunes?  I want them still on my iTunes as they are only young (8 and 10)?  Or have I got this all wrong and even if I do set them up with a different e-mail will they still be on my itunes?  For example if they want to purchase an App will it still go through my account even if they use their ipod?

  • I've just bought an iPad2 which requires a newer version of iTunes than the one I currently have on my 6 year old macbook. How can I get my old itune to my ipad?

    I bought my macbook about 6 years ago and I also have a first generation iPod Touch. The version of iTunes I have on my macbook is out of date for the iPad2 I just purchased. What is the easiest way i can get my iTunes upgraded so that I can connect my iPad2 to it? Is it by upgrading my OS?

    Yes. Check what version of OS X you have by going to your Apple menu (top left) and clicking About This Mac. It'll likely be 10.4 or 10.5, something like that. It's good to update your profile here on the Communities, too (you've specified 10.0.x, which is archaic in OS X terms).
    If your MB is 6 years old, it's probably too old for Lion, but may be able to run Snow Leopard.

  • I have locked myself out of my iPad and can not restore unless I go onto the iPad and turn off FindMyiPhone, how do I sort this out?

    After installing iOS7  I was prompted to make a passcode, I did so and stupidly forgot and now continually am disabling my iPad, ways in which I have read you can sort this is restoring your iPad, however I can not restore without iTunes telling me I need to go onto the iPad and turn off FindMyiPhone! How else can I sort this? It is logged into my apple account and everything! This is an iPad 2 also ASAP help!!

    Hello shanefox,
    This can be done by logging in at iCloud.com and removing your device via the Find My iPhone web interface.

  • HT1551 Have not used Apple tv for ages,plugged in light flashing,screen is showing iTunes logo and USB cable

    Plugged in my Apple tv to tv and light flashing non stop.Tv screen showing iTunes logo and USB cable.Not responding to anything

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • I have been using thelatest ver firefox. Noe I can not access it. I receive the following message" Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permission to access. I am using windows XP ,

    unable to access firefox. I receive the following message" Windows can not access the specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permission to access. I restored the system to an earlier date when I could access Firefox. I removed an re-installed firefox no changes.

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • HT204053 I have an ipad that is my personal ipad and I just received an iphone for work. I have two separate id's for each, but I would like to connect my calendar from my ipad to my iphone. How can I do this?

    See subject line.

    You can share your calendar with your other ID as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.  Or, you can add your iPad iCloud account to your phone as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your iPhone's iCloud ID, then enabling Calendar syncing.

  • ITunes is repeatedly asking me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'.  How do I fix this?

    I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and using iTunes v. 12.0.1.26.  Whenever I open iTunes after initially asking for my password  ('Sign-in Required'), it repeatedly asks me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'.  No matter how many times I enter the correct password it keeps popping up until I hit cancel at least 4 times.  Additionally, now when I attempt to make a purchase in the iTunes store it does the same thing preventing me from purchasing anything.  It repeats the 'Sign In to the iTunes Store' log-in prompt and no matter how many times I enter my CORRECT password it will not accept it.  Why is iTunes doing this and how can I fix it?

    I have this same problem and it drives me crazy. I've posted a topic about this, with no replies. In my case I'm pretty sure it's because in iTunes Preferences/Store/Automatic Downloads, I have Music-Apps-Books checked.
    But this is what happens to me everytime I open iTunes:
    Automatic Downloads password window pops up / I put in password
    Immediately again, password window pops up / I put in password
    Now I'm fine until I close iTunes and open again
    If I don't feel like putting my password in two times and cancel, if you cancel the window 3 times, it goes away.
    What I don't understand:
    Why isn't the Automatic Downloads password stored in Keychain
    Why does it ask for the password two times

    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
    Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
    If running, turn your computer off.
    Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
    Now start your computer but also;

  • Have been using 3.6 for a j d edwards programme new computer is w8 what is the best compatable d/load

    have been using 3.6 for a j d edwards programme new computer is w8 what is the best compatable d/load have loaded latest version however when jd Edwards loads when each section within jd Edwards is opened blue circle saying launching application but that is as far as I can get . Had this problem with xp but wasa ble to dload older version of fire fox but it appears that these olderr versions are no use with windows 8

    Windows 8 Professional supports virtual machines, so you could install Windows XP in a VM and then use that to host an older version of Firefox. This does not appear to be minor undertaking: [http://4sysops.com/archives/windows-8-xp-mode-part-1-hyper-v/ Windows 8 “XP Mode” – Part 1: Hyper-V - 4sysops].
    Can you run your JD Edwards app in IE10 in compatibility mode? If so, that's probably the simplest workaround. You still can use Firefox for other browsing.

  • I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

    I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open.  I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case.  Please advise

    They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen.  I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
    I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
    doc.
    The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
    The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted.  OS is Windows 8
