Hooking my ipad to my computer

When I hook my ipad up to my computer it displays that it can not be used because the Apple Moble Device service is not started. I hooked my ipad up before and was able to sync it with my ipod.

Are you Windows? Take a look at this article.

Yes, you can still hook it up to a computer and upload pictures from the Camera Roll.

You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/
If you synced any of your mum's apps to the iPad from your her computer then they will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps

My Ipad 4 shuts off spontaneously, it is difficult to restart. Before I send it in, I need to delete data. When I hook it up to my computer, I can see what is on the Ipad but I can't restore it, as "find my Ipad" is on. I can't turn it on to shut

My Ipad 4 shuts off spontaneously, it is either impossible or difficult to restart. Before I send it in, I need to delete my data. When I hook it up to my computer, I can see what is on the Ipad, but it won't sync. It did work so-so last night and I installed IOS 8, today it is dead in the water. The "apple" icon constantly turns off and on, but the screen never fully loads. I can't restore my IPad until "find my IPad is off, but like I said, I haven't had an active screen all day so I can't shut it off. Help?

Does the unit not run on the charger alone? (take the battery out and plug it in.)
Try an SMC Reset

Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet.

Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet. What does the "other" category consist of and how can I fix this?

The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

Have new iPhone 5s and older iPad ( looking to buy new iPad ) question for both is should I hook them up to y computer and back up the computer on each devise and sink and than the next one. The second question is should I do the I pad first cause it has photos in my email that have not been downloaded and it is one of or is the first model

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

My ipod touch when i hook it up to my computer it says its a camera. how do i fix this?

i hook my ipod into my computer and the apple ipod screen pops up with just camera options

If it does not show up in iTunes try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Make sure the AMDS is running too:

Why can't I connect my ipad to my computer

I have an old G4 and I want to transfer some video files to my iPad. I have it hooked into the USB and I even get the connect sound. But I don't get anything, it even says "not charging".
How can I connect my iPad so that I can transfer files?

You cannot connect the iPad to your computer like you would a hard disk. You get the Not Charging notice because the USB ports on your computer do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently.
The best way to transfer video files from the computer is via iTunes on your computer. Here's the rub, though,
If your iPad 2 is still on iOS 5.1.1 or earlier you can use your G4 for the transfer if it is running OSX 10.5.8. Start iTunes on your computer, connect your iPad 2, select it in iTunes and select Video in the row of tabs on the right.
If your iPad 2 is running ios 6.0 or later you need iTunes 10.7 or later. iTunes 11 is the current version. Unfortunately these recent versions of iTunes require OSX 10.6.8 or later and these versions of OSX only run on intel macs. They will not run on a G4.
Your alternative then might be to email the videos to yourself. Or search the App Store for an app that will help in the transfer of videos.

I want to hook my iPad to a Yamaha p-105 keyboard. Do I need a special adapter or app to do this?

I want to hook my iPad to a Yamaha P-105 keyboard. Do I need a special adapter or app to do this?

At first I thought that this solved my problem, but alas it didn't. It does appear to add display area for your computer or to suplement it. But it is not a view screen for your Mini. I guess I will just have to live on with my monitor and use my Ipad and the "remote" app to run Itunes.
Once I have the system all set up, I could use the display but I don't know why I would. Thanks for your help.

I have audio books on my ipod, but when I hook it up to my computer they don't show up so I can't take them off or anything. Now I am out of space. How do I get them to show up on the itunes sync screens?

I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up. I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room. When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off. How do I get them to show up?

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
