How can I backup my new iPad Air to my old PowerMac G5

I'd like to backup my new iPad to my PowerMac G5 running under Leopard.
However, the latest iTunes version compatible with Leopard is iTunes 10.6.3 which seems not to recognize the iPad: No device shows in the Devices pane of iTunes Preferences window ...
I've read here and there that the minimum Mac requirements are Snow Leopard / Intel and iTune 11.
Is there a 3rd party app that could help and that would not relie on iTunes.
Thanks

Use iCloud to backup the iPad. Many users don't use their iPads with iTunes at all anymore. Personally, I would never rely only on iCloud, but I would guess that millions of iOS users are now using only iCloud and not backing up with iTunes at all.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

How can I get my new iPad Air to steam Netflix in HD?

When I turn on movie titled "example short 23.976" on Netflix app, it shows that it streams in about 500 kps. But when I stream the same film on my older iPad 3, it shows that it streams 4300 kps. I have comcast internet.
Do you know a fix for this issue?

Tom, thanks for your quick reply. I'm a commerical photographer using Canon 5D mk2's mostly and have in the past just downloaded images to a mac book for backup. I really liked the compact size of the Ipad and just got the retina model with the camera connection kit and seem to be hearing that CF readers can't be used with it b/c they draw too much power. Seems like I remember reading I could use a cord that might have come with my cameras to download directly to the Ipad. I haven't tried it yet as I can't find the connection but then you just said it can't be done?
   I'm COMPLETLY lost as to your "first pluging in a flash drive to my computer, advice. Do you mean Ipad when you say computer? "then put your movie/photo files into the folder." HOW????????
     Then plug it into the Ipad??????     TOTALLY lost.
Also your saying just "do a google search for a reader doesn't work b/c NONE are able to work with the newer Ipads b/c they use TOO much power or so everyone says everyone that have tried.
   Hope you can help a little more b/c I'm really getting frustrated with all the conflicting advice!
Thanks, Dennis [email protected]

How can i replace my new iPad mini to ipad air

how can I replace my new iPad mini to a new iPad air online

If you bought the Mini within the past 14 days you can get a refund and buy the Air. Take it to an Apple store.
Otherwise.......
Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

How can I print from my ipad air without buying a new "air print" compatable printer?

How can I print from my ipad air without buying a new "air print" compatable printer? I currently have a HP Photosmart plus B210. Can I make that work?

Although you have posted in a Mavericks forum, implying that you have a Mac computer, your profile doesn't say that you have one. Printer Pro requires the printer to be connected to a Mac.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

How to Copy backup to new ipad

How to Copy backup to new ipad?

Do you mean this via icloud. Today i had my ipad3 exchanged under warranty (dust under the screen)(Thankyou apple for easy replacement). I had to set up ipad as new. Then check what ios version i had on this new ipad (it was 5) the icloud version from my previous ipad was 6 which was preventing my new ipad accepting the upload from the icloud. First i updated the software on new ipad to ios6 , after that had completed , i had to reset and erase settings again. Then new ipad could see my old icloud account and downloaded it. All is back on. Happy days.
