Have to erase ipad to get purchases on new MBA

Had to get my MBA hard drive replaced.   before plugging in my devices I bought and full season of tv shows.  Now when I plug in my Ipad to MBA it want me to  erase it and only put on the content on this ipad.  This was purchased from the itunes acct I have had since the begining of time.  How do I get the MBA itunes content to sync to ipad without having ti erase it?   I should not have to do this every time I make purchase on all the devices I own. 
Thanks for the  help

    what do you mean the old computers link?
    my ipad is sycned with my computer but nowhere is there a link
    and if I connected it with a new computer and set it to sync it would replace all my data with the data from the new computer

  • Why Do I  have to keep rebooting my iPad to get for example news or weather updates?

    My iPad is 6 months old and recently I have had to switch off then switch on again in order to get updates of news or weather or read emails.  Why?

    It's often hard to determine the cause of the usage rights no longer valid. It happens when some sort of change is made other than those that are allowed. It can be due to font problems and other problems that Acrobat attempts to automatically fix.
    Adobe specifically prevent you from automating the process of extending documents with Acrobat.

  • Ipad 2, just purchased a new ipad.set it up with icloud but did not get my audio books where do i find them on my new ipad?

    frustrated!!!  purchased a new ipad todayand set it up with i cloud so i would have the same on my new ipad...in doing so, it did not recover my audio books only music...where did i go wrong or where do i find them?

    Audiobooks are not part of icloud.
    They will only be where you put them.  They should be on your computer.  Sync them to the new device.

  • Is there an iPad promotion when purchasing a new iPhone 6?

    I just upgraded from two iPhone 4's to 2- 6's.
    Seems like I saw mentioned on these forums somewhere the other day, of a promotional offer of like 200 bucks off an iPad when getting the new iPhone 6? Is there a promotion like this, I can't seem to find any info on it?

        Thanks for keeping us posted on the details dburne. Upon further review it does appear that in order to receive the promotion price for the tablet, we would have to process the order for you. That would be why it's not showing online because it has to recognize that an iPhone 6/6 Plus was already ordered. In this case, we can either process the order for you over the phone at 800-922-0204 or, it can also be done at any Verizon Wireless store location. You qualify for this promotion up until September 30th. I certainly hope this helps and we do apologize for the confusion.

  • HT4859 My cloud is showing over 4gb of backed up data for a phone I no longer have. How do I get to my new phone?

    My iCloud shows 4gb of data backed up for a phone I no longer have. How do I get this data to the new phone or at least see what it consists of so I can delete some of it

    You can see what's contained in the backup except by looking on the phone (which you no longer have); even then, it only shows you broad categories like "Camera Roll" and your apps list.
    The way you get this data on your new phone is to restore the phone to the backup.  When you do this, it overwrites your data and settings with those contained in the backup.  If you have newer data on your phone now (such as recent photos), you'll have to save these first.  Then you go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase the phone.  You will then go back through the setup screens as you did when it was new, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this might take a while to finish.

  • HT201317 Pictures I took on my iPad before i purchased my new iphone won't download to my new iPhone?

    I have had an iPad for a while and just purchased an iPhone and the photos I took on the iPad before i purchased the iphone don't want to photo stream to my new iPhone ?

    Photo stream only works with new photos taken, not existing ones.  Use the USB to computer method to copy to computer then sync to other device. 
    Also...
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • HT4061 i have lost my ipad. cannot get serial number because it comes up with another ipad and iphone i own.  have the box with a serial number but its not showing valid. help

    have a lost or stolen ipad. I have 2 and an iphone registered.  the first one has an expired warranty.  cannot contact support because the serial number is incorrect and only the old one shows on itunes.
    so, I cannot even phone support to find out how to search serial number.  I have what I thought was the serial number on the back of the box.
    Any help????

    You cannot track an iPad with the Serial Number.
    Report your loss to the police with Serial Number.

  • HT1414 When I bought my iphone 5, I kept getting a message when I synced "Canada failed to install".  I sold my iphone 5 and went back to my 4 and have not had this issue again.  Now I have bought an ipad and get the same message "Canada failed to install

    Sync error message-Canada failed to install

    check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings.
    next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so 
    the important part is to apply to enclosed items !

  • HT201413 I have a family itunes account- i purchased a new itouch and each time i try to purchase an app - the itouch asks me to confirm security questions that I never set.

    I have a family itunes account with several devices attached...  I can make purchases on all except the newest one....  each time I try to make a puchase it asks me to confirm security questions that I have never set

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address already set up on your account - if you don't have one then you won't get the reset option, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • Computer destroyed .. how to get purchases onto new computer

    I'm pretty much computer illiterate except for surfing the internet and using Word.
    I purchased several songs from itunes onto a computer which was destroyed (fire). I have a new computer (Latitude with Windows XP) and although I see all my old purchases listed when i look up my account, I don't know how to get them onto my new computer.
    Can someone help me? Thanks.

    Click here and fill out the form to ask for a free redownload; if your request isn't granted, you need to purchase the songs again to get them back.
    Apple pays the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

  • Have 3g reception but cannot get online with new 4s.

    I just got a new 4s and whilst using it this weekend in Cork city centre with full 3g coverage shown I couldn't get online. Resetting it worked briefly but then stopped and wifi is working fine.  Any ideas? Thanks. Oliver

    Hi Minnamumu:
    In the Airport Admin Utility, configure the airport with the following:
    Airport Tab: Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)
    Internet Tab: Connect using: ethernet
    Network Tab: Make sure the Distribute IP addresses is NOT checked.
    Have a go at that, if that get's you up and running, then I would suggest going back under the airport tab and turning on some form of wireless security. (I recommend WPA2)
    Let us know if that helps you out and get's you online!

  • I have the first ipad, and just purchaes applet tv, can i see my photos on the tv, i can not seem to find airplay app

    I have te first ipad, and recentrly purchased apple tv to see the internet , photos and all from my ipad on the tv, i have not founf the airplay app , can i download it r get it at the app store, can this be done? for the ipad one

    my issue probably not related to original poster
    I have an airport express
    it can stream audio.
    That is why the airplay icon shows up on the Videos,YouTube, and iPod apps
    I do need an ATV to get the airplay icon to show up on Photos.
    All of this is hinted at online but never written down.
    the pictures show a ATV screen or box, show Photos screen with icon
    but never say screen only looks this way with ATV available.
    And I fooled myself by having an airport express which put the icon on all the other applications.

  • Anyone have any idea where I can purchase FCP 7 Studio upgrade?

    Anyone have any idea where I can purchase a new copy of FCP 7 Studio upgrade?

    The two places I knew about have sold out. (fwiw - these were new retail, not upgrade). Your best bet may be finding someone on craigslist or ebay who is switching to Avid or Premiere and getting rid of the FCS suite. Buyer beware and all that.
    Good luck,
