Having problems synching my iPad with my mac
Hello,
I have one of the original iPads, bought about 18 months ago. I originally synched it with an old PC, which is no longer in use. I have a new-ish MacBook Air, which is where I would now like to synch to for my photos, itunes etc.
I have just tried to synch my ipad to the Macbook, and although it did do it i.e. it transferred photos from my MacBook to my iPad, it DIDN'T transfer all of the purchased content that was new on my iPad i.e. some apps that I had downloaded from the app store, and many books that I had purchased from the amazon Kindle app. or, if it did download them, I can't see them......
Basically, I would like my iPad to recognise the MacBook as being the new place to automatically synch with, and to have all downloaded apps and content held on both sites. How can I achieve this? I am also a bit confused by the 'Cloud' concept - is this somethign I should be using to share content between the devices?? I also have an iPhone, and I haven't even started the process of synching this yet......
Any advice would be appreciated.....
Lucy
It sounds like you are heading in the right direction. You did authorize the new computer in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer?
Amazon books are stored on Amazon's servers and you cannot transfer them into iTunes. You can log into your Amazon.com account and got to Manage Digital Content and you will see all of your purchased books in there.
As far as Apps that did not transfer, the first question I would have is did you buy these apps with another ID that you are currently using in iTunes on the Mac? Are the apps in your iTunes library and if so, did you select them to sync to the iPad? If the apps are not in iTunes did you transfer the purchases into iTunes? If you didn't, I am guessing that iTunes erased the apps from the iPad and you didn't mention that.
Connect the iPad to the Mac, launch iTunes, click on the iPad name on the left, click on the Apps Tab, click on all of the apps that you want to sync, make sure that the sync apps heading is checked and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you haven't transferred all of your purchased content into iTunes, you might find this discussion to be helpful.

Anyone having problems installing Boot Camp with New Mac Pro 2.8?
I just get blank screen after it restarts with XP disk. I'm using a vga - dvi adapter with a apple 17" display..
I've phoned apple and read up on here but nobody seems to know. I just wondered whether my 2008 Mac Pro was faulty...
Please can you help?
cheersAre you getting a white screen after the Mac reboots? If so, try disconnecting all non-essential USB/FW devices.
I had the exact same problem and I went through a long, stressful process of elimination to get it working, even to the extent of using my MacBook as an external drive through target disk mode!
It turned out to be my iMage USB camera. Even after successfully installing Windows I have to disconnect it before using Bootcamp.
I Hope this helps. -
After I downloaded IOS7 on my iPad I saw that the camera had changed to video, picture or square.
It will only take a picture, I will not go to the other two settings. Any suggestions?Its no problem. There are a lof of little things that will take time to discover and sometimes it just easier to ask
Glad I could help

Having problem synching Media Go with my Xperia Arc, and SE sync
Help people. Just got my Xperia Arc and attempted at using Media go to transfer all my music files into the Arc. However, the transfer keep hanging in the middle if I transfer too many files at a go. Say 3-4 albums.
It keep popping out wit the error code 0x802a0006. Help me!!!!!!!!
On a side note, I sync all my contacts with google account. Those contacts that I imported from the google account, how do I sync it t my SE sync account?I'm sorry to hear about your problem with Media Go and Xperia arc.
I have been trying all morning to regenerate the problem you guys run into. But without any luck. I've been testing with the latest version of Media Go.
Unfortunately I'm not able to place what the error code you get points at either.
I believe that my best suggestion would be to see if you guys get the same problem if you try on another PC computer.
Regarding the SE sync, it's not possible to sync contacts in the phone that comes from Google to SE Sync. That's because they become marked as Google contacts and can't therefore not be synced to another web service.
If you would like to have your Google contacts on SE Sync as well I suggest that you export your contacts from Gmail, and then log in to SE Sync on your computer and import them under contacts.

I am having problems syncing my iPad 2 with iTunes. Whenever I click "sync" or "apply," the sync begins. As soon as it gets to step 3 (in this particular case "determining apps to sync") it immediately stops syncing. What's the deal here?
You haven't purchased apps with multiple Apple ID's have you? If you have, you can only sync with one Apple ID in the iTunes library at a time. Whichever ID you are signed into on the computer and the iPad would determine which apps would sync.
Have all of your apps been transferred into iTunes for your iPad?

Is it better to update the ipad with a mac mini vs a windows PC?
I have an iPad 2 which i want to update to iOS 6.1.3 (from 4.3.3). I usually sync it with a mac mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 with iTunes 10 which will not allow me to update the iPad as iTunes 11 requires OS X 10.6.8. I am not in a position to update my mac mini.
1) Can I use a PC running windows 7 with latest iTunes to update my iPad without any problems ?
2) Will I be able to sync my updated iPad with my mac mini running iTunes 10 on OS X 10.6.4 ?
Thanks for your inputs.If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I have itunes set up on a PC with all my music, apps, etc. I want to stop using PC and move my iTunes and files to a Mac I bought and synch my iPhone with the Mac. Can I just synch iPhone with Mac iTunes and will it copy all my stuff onto Mac, or will I have to copy files from PC onto Mac?
Here are some of the links to get you started.

I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4. How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?
You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!
iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu. -
