How can I gift an iPad app on a specific day, like birthday?

In answering an earlier question (How can I buy a specific iPad app for someone else?) https://discussions.apple.com/people/King_Penguin gave the following helpful tip: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2736
So far, so good (except that now I'll need to tip off the giftee by asking which email address he uses for iTunes). However... I have a new problem. How do I specify that the gift "arrive" on a specific day, such as a birthday? Dear Obvious Answer: No, I don't want the answer "Buy it on his birthday." I will be out of the country on his birthday, and away from internet/3g/4g connections. I need another choice.

A different obvious answer: organise it, don't tell him until his birthday. If you cannot phone or text, tell him on a birthday card, posted (remember that?), if necessary inscribed "do not open until your birthday".
We spend too much time wresting with technology to solve problems that would not even exist a few years ago.

I want to update my ipad into ios5 how can i backup my ipad apps and song?

please help me how can i backup my ipad apps and songs thank you...

To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5 on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5 installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases - that will copy off your apps and iTunes bought music, films (not rentals if they were bought directly on the iPad), tv show, ibooks, but it won't copy off music bought from other stores or music copied from your own CDs (if they are no longer on your computer then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad).
You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
If iTunes doesn't prompt you to update to iOS 5.0.1 on your iPad, then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.

How can I add an iPad app to my library without an iPad?

Hello,
As part of the App Store's 5th anniversary, the Traktor DJ app for iPad is free, possibly for a short time only. I currently don't have an iPod, but I would like to add the for-now-free iPad app to my library, just in case I later acquire an iPad. How can I do so?
(I know that the Traktor DJ app for iPhone is available, but I want to secure ALSO the iPad version.)

Download the app in the App Store in iTunes on your computer.
Open iTunes on your computer, go to the iTunes Store, search for that app, and download it. If it can be synced to your iPod, it will be if you select it to sync. Otherwise, it will be on your computer until you can sync it to an iPad

How can i make my ipad apps work again?

i have this iPad2 wifi+3g for like five months now but iv never tried sync it on my laptop. Just yesterday i decided to try sync but im frightened when a pop up window appears said that syncing will erase all the data i had on my iPad including my favorite movies and apps.It's been two days now that i've been tinkering my iPad apps.My 1st problem now is i lost all my movies that my friend installed on my iPad and i dont know how to retrieve it. 2) i foldered my apps and sync it and also update it to iOs5 but after the update and syncing my apps doesnt work now like my bookworm and few other games doesn't work but it's still there on my folder.
Can someone help me please... a detailed instruction is immensely appreciated .

If the movies that your friend installed on your iPad were not bought with your Apple ID or are not in your iTunes library - they are gone - unless he reinstalls them or you sync again with iTunes (if they are in your library).
If you bought the movies with your ID and you live in the U.S., you can download many movies again for free using the purchased tab in iTunes.
If your third party apps no longer work, try downloading another app on your iPad - any free app is fine. That will reset your iTunes authorization and should reset the other apps.

How can I watch my iPad apps on my Apple TV?

I bought an exercise app I would like to watch on my Apple TV, my iPad is an iPad air.

You can't "Watch an App" on Apple TV.
If you purchased a video, then that will play on the Apple TV.
Actually that is not entirely correct. With Airplay Mirroring you can watch anything on your iPad on a Tv connected to an Apple TV. (Apple Tv's have no screen, so you can't technically watch anything on them)
You can mirror your iPads screen so anything on it will show up on your TV screen.
iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring

How can I deploy an ipad app with preconfigured settings?

I am looking to deploy an app to an ipad cart and would like to configure the app settings prior to deployment so as not to have to set them on all ipads individually. Is this possible with apple configurator or would I need an alternate MDM solution?

you can restore a backup from apple configurator of the ipad which you've configured the app and backed up which will restore some app preferences, depending on the app
you'll have to test it to see what works
normally passwords are not copied
you can also use itunes backup as well
OSX server MDM, profile manager allows custom profiles
which you maybe able to use to configure the app and push settings out to devices
I can't remember if apple configurator allows for custom settings

How can you screen your iPad on a keynote presentation? Just like Apple did in last years WWDC when they demo iOS 5 how do they do that

How can you screen your iPad on a Keynote presentation just like Apple?
Like when they had last years WWDC when they demoed iOS 5 on the iPod Touch 4G
Can you do that with an iPad 2?

AL113-
Mirroring refers to normal operation of the iPad, where you can see the Home screen on your external display, as well as when setting up a slide show, et cetera. You may not need to mirror the iPad's display for presentations (but the iPad 2 does mirror). At least for slide shows and videos, the iPad 2's screen does not show the presentation when an AV cable is connected, it only appears on the external screen.
The alternative I mentioned about using the Apple TV box with AirPlay is probably easier to do, except you need the Apple TV box to interface to your external display. One problem with an AV adapter, is that the weight of its cable tends to pull the connector out of the iPad as you are holding it.

How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?

I gifted an App from the App store to my cousin. He is India and I am in Kuwait. He now got a message saying that the app can only be used in Kuwait. How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?
Cheers,

Are you asking about iOS apps? This is the Mac App Store forum, about issues with apps for Macs, not iOS devices. Mac apps cannot be gifted at this moment. I am asking the Hosts to move your question to the iTunes area.

How can i transfer my Ipad Library and Apps to a new laptop - my old one died

How can i transfer my Ipad Library and Apps to a new laptop - my old laptop died before i could backup my library to an external hardrive

You will need to do this via iTunes to start with as you need to copy your iTunes files to the new computer.
If you have everything on your iPad you can select "transfer purchases..." when plugging your iPad into your new computer and in iTunes (right/ctrl click the iPad icon) after telling iTunes to not sync this iPad.
Once the items are in the new iTunes then when it asks if you wish to sync to this new iTunes your items will be copied to the iPad again.
However if you do not have all iTunes items on your iPad, then you will need to follow the instructions on to move iTunes first, then deal with your iPad.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

How can I use my eprint app on my iPad ?

How can I use my eprint app on my iPad ?

Hello Bulbuljan,
If you want to use an app to print to your printer on your iPad you need to make sure you have downloaded the HP ePrint home & biz app. There are numerous ePrint apps available, but this is the best one for printing to an HP printer that is ePrint enabled.
Here is more information about the App and how to use it:

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.
