Help I cant sync my ipad cause it says it is linked to another acct.

I have been trying for months now and am ready to toss it in the bin and go buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab.. Also I purchased the entire seasons Gossip Girls and even though the money was taken once they were downloaded they disappeared when I tried to sync.. I own 6 Apple products and am ready to take my sons advice and buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab to match the samsung phone that he just bought.. Itunes is getting beyond a joke I have owned this Ipad for a year and would be lucky to have used it a total of 12 hours cause it isnt any fun not being able to update or play anthing cause it is supposedly linked to another acct.. Trying to get anyone to talk to is like pulling teeth.. Total waste of money...
cheers

You will need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

Or you can follow these instructions.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

I cant sync my ipad

I cant sync my ipad to my computer. How can i move ipad data, calendars and such, to another computer?

Is your original computer fried and no longer usable?
If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library on DVD or an external drive, you either have to start from scratch, meaning load all of your photos onto the new laptop, (if you have the photos stored elsewhere) and do the same with the music. In the U.S. you can download all of your purchased music again for free with the iCloud feature available in iOS 4.3. You would have to import any music from CD again that you had in iTunes as well.
There is a software available called iPad Transfer that claims to be able to transfer your iPad contents onto a computer. Your photos will not be in the original resolution from what I understand but I really no nothing about this application. You can read about it here.

There also data recovery services that you can look for as well. I have no idea what they entail and what they may cost but I think you can retrieve you contents that way as well.

If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

What Mac do you have?
To find out info about your system,
Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears.
Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs.
Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply.
This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.

I can't sync and iPad because it says I'm maxed on authorized computers but I only have one.

Help. I'm in Apple ****. iTunes is telling me that I've activated 5 computers and I can't sync a new iPad. When I look at my account I only have ONE activated. I have to keep deauthorizing and authorizing the same computer over and over to be able to sync the iPad but that only happened once. When I start the sync it then says this over again and I basically have a .9lb paperweight.
On both iTunes and my account view it shows I have just one computer activated. I delete the computer I'm on and it shows 0 but when I try to sync and then authorize the computer it again shows 5 and says that the apps on my iPad will be deleted if I don't authorize it. I don't want to delete them obviously but I need to get some images on the iPad. I'm a photographer and this is hugely important.
I've spent probably 2 hours trying to clear this mess.

Get a newer device. The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1.

I just had to have my toshiba laptop hard drive replaced and I am unable to move my itunes library from my ipad back to the laptop. It says it is linked to another library and I can only transfer purchased music etc and not the rest of the library.Help!

I have just had my Toshiba laptop hard drive replaced. This has resulted in all previous content held on the laptop to be lost. I wanted to try and transfer my music library from my ipad to the laptop, but it will not allow me to do so. The message is that the ipad is linked to another computer and it will only allow the transfer of the items purchased on through the ipad and nothing else. Does anyone know if the full library can be transferred back to the computer?

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.
