Getting notes and photos off an ipad 2 that has a blank screen

My ipad 2 has a bad backlight and battery (i went to a store for tech support). Itunes recognizes the ipad but I can't sync because I have a password set. I want to get my notes and photos off if possible. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Sorry no not if you can't input your passcode to unlock the phone.
Usually if you been syncing to iTunes on a regular basis it shouldn't ask for you to unlock it.
does your computer read your ipad as a camera so you can import them Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

How to get photos off an iPad 2 that are not from the camera roll?

I have photos from previous iPhones and digital cameras on my iPad 2. I do not have the original laptop I used to put them on the iPad. How can I transfer them from this iPad to a different laptop? I do not want to lose them.

To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them to a computer via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

Why am I unable to email my notes and photos from my iPad?

I want to email a note from the Notepad app and email photos but they are not going through to the receiver. The app makes the sound indicating the note or photo was sent but nothing is happening.

I finally took my iPad in to my local Mac store, and at first they were just as perplexed by the problem as I was.
Then one of the very helpful tech ladies in the store figured out that I only needed to reset the iPad when the Notes app was open, and that fixed the problem. Have you tried doing that?

Can I retrieve files off my MacBook Air that has crashed (White screen flashing folder)?

Besides a few freezes here and there, my MacBook Air has worked fine. However when I opened it the other day, It wouldn't power on. I pressed the power button a few times, and it finally powered on with a completely white screen. I powered it off and on a few times but nothing changed. I figured if I let the battery die, maybe it would work when I charged it again. I left the screen open, but after 10 min, a flashing folder with a question mark popped up, And it's been flashing ever sense. I took it to apple, they said it was a software issue. They plugged it into a g-drive to reinstall, along with other cords and got their apple account up, although none of my information showed up. They said the Mac forgot its software, and nothing of mine would show. They said I have to replace the lap top and gave me prices/options. I never got my question fully answered on if I can retrieve my photos, notes, garage band, music, etc. I left apple with out any trade. Does anyone know of any way I can get my pictures, music, voice memos, and notes, back? I'm desperate and have lots of important stuff that I can't access. I'm also losing work not having access to my computer. But I'm not trading it in until I try/or know there is no way to get my stuff back. I will pay anything to get my stuff back! I honestly would rather have my stuff then the computer. And just get a new one. Any advice will help. Thanks!

Can mean that your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk and restart.

If the disk is not available, then it's failing or has failed.
If you did not backup your important files, an alternative would be data recovery but it's expensive.

I have a acer laptop and itunes store won't load just has a blank screen even after doing updates how do i get it to work?

I have updated my laptop too on windows update just so you know but not sure what else to do ?

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

I have an iPad 2 that has a dark screen.

When I attempt to turn it on, the screen appears to receive power but is dark. Then shuts off. It was plugged into the wall charger all night.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos? This was before icloud was available, can you reset your password?

iTunes and the iTunes Store won't have anything to do with your photos. Those would be stored only on your laptop unless you made a backup of some sort. If you didn't, and the hard drive in your laptop has failed, then your photos are gone unless you wish to pay a disk recovery service a lot of money to try and get them back.
As to your music, if you purchased it from the iTunes Store you can probably re-download it. Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time.

You can't use a simple VGA to DVI adapter, since VGA doesn't have the digital video signals needed by Apple displays. You need a VGA to DVI converter, such as

How can I get music (not purchased from iTunes) and photos from my iPad onto my MacBook?

I just recently had my hard drive replaced and lost all of my music and photos from it. I have all of my music and photos backed up onto my iPad and iPhone via iCloud.
I was able to download all of my purchased music from iTunes, back onto my MacBook. The problem is, how do I get the other music and photos from my iPad, back onto my MacBook?

Is there any possible way to backup music that I did not purchase from iTunes on to iCloud?
No.
... if I happened to break my iPad, or if something happened to my Laptop.
If you like your music library, back up your laptop.
If you lose or break your iPad, you can sync your iTunes music library to a brand new one. You will lose nothing.
If you lose your laptop, or it crashes, or becomes virus-infested, you can restore your iTunes music library from your backup. You will lose nothing. Without a backup though, your music resides only on the iPad, and extracting it will require the assistance of third party (paid) utilities. Worse, there is no guarantee they will continue to function after some future iOS upgrade, since the iPad is not designed to work that way.
There are dozens of questions every day from people who lost their iTunes music when their laptop crashed. Your laptop will crash - it's only a question of when.

Can i get my rented movies off my ipad and put them on my PC, as i do not have posession of my ipad and i wont for awhile, also can i change the password remotely for my ipad to avoid intrusions?

can i get my rented movies off my ipad and onto my PC without my ipad in my possession? also can i change my password to access my ipad remotely to stop the intrusions?

Where did the movies come from?
For what you said you should be easily be able to do what you want except for:
"remove them from the ipad but still have access to them for viewing on the road or at hotel"
Home sharing only works wehn the devices are connected to the same network
Understanding Home Sharing
If they are iTunes purchases, you should be able to redownload most iTunes purchases on the road if you have an internet connection by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I get my apps and pics off my iPad 2 to my iPad 3?

I need to get all my apps and such off my iPad 2 and am not sure how to do that.

You can copy all iTunes purchases from your iPad 2 to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can then force a backup of the iPad (assuming that you want to restore it onto your iPad 3) by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'Backup', and you can copy off photos/videos that you've taken with the iPad to your computer : photos to computer. Photos and videos that you've taken with the iPad that are in the Camera Roll album will be included in the backup (and therefore copied via a restore), but you may want to take your own backup of them.

Get photos off an iPad without a PC

Hello all
Firstly, sorry if this has already been talked about on the forums
I did search for an answer to my question but to no avail
If there are threads already discussing this, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
My question -
How the heck do you get photos OFF an iPad (mine is iPad 2) without a computer?
Mac/PC doesn't matter, irrelevant to the question
The reason I ask is because I'm a photographer and I'd like to use my iPad out in the field
I've found it to be a super-cool device to show clients portfolio work
But I'd also like to start using it to do basic post-work and editing on-the-job
For the editing part, there are heaps of apps in the app store that are just great
But once I'm done, I'd love to be able to give a digital copy of the photos to the client before I leave
Any ideas?
I'm very happy with the iPad as a professional tool for this industry
And even if what I'm asking can't be done, I'll still keep using it
Just wondering if there's any ideas I haven't come across yet
Many thanks!

yes, soon after I posted, I went into the photo gallery to have a play
found that if you click the share button you can select multiple and email them, indeed to yourself
or in my case, to the client
here's my thinking...
for jobs where a really special emotional response is needed, i'm better off going home and packaging a dvd and posting to the client, such is the case for weddings etc
for time-critical jobs, like insurance and particularly real estate, emailing to the client would be perfect
one question though - when emailing, are the photos sent at their original quality?

After restoring how can I get my notes and photos back?

I plugged my iPad then it shut down and when I plugged it again and it showed that I need to restore it..
Now how do I get my notes and photos back...

You'll have to resync using your own computer. It should restore from your backup.
 Cheers, Tom
