How can I retain two versions of my iPad backup in iTunes?

HI,
When I backup my iPad on iTunes, the previous backup is automatically deleted and a new back is created.
How can I retain two versions of my iPad bacup in iTunes?
Thanks, Ramani

Backup the device. Immediately restore the backup. The restored backup is now archived and a new rolling backup set is created. You can repeat as needed and clear older backups from Edit > Preferences > Devices.

How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating

how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie or TV show on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying)

How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

How can I open two libraries at the same time on itunes?

Hey i need help on opening two libraries at the same time on itunes. I don't know if that is possible but need some advice if its possible. I already have several libaries but I need to compare labaries at times due to various users on my computer. Please help .

Not that I'm aware of. What exactly is that you want to achieve? There are tools for scanning media folders and adding any files not listed in the library, or deleting those that no longer exist. There are also ways to use one library for multiple users so that any tag update gets applied for everyone.

How can I sync selected books to my ipad via the itunes interface?

I have a lot of books and pdfs all neatly tagged in my itunes library, and I would like to be able to sync selected books to my ipad from the itunes 'books' library page. I cannot for the life of me find a way to do this!
I realise you can choose to sync either 'all books' or 'selected books' from the 'Devices' > 'ipad' > 'books' tab option; however this is not really feasible as all you can do here is select from the entire list of books (only options are to sort by title or author).
It is obviously much easy to find the set of books I'm interested in using the itunes search, and sorting based on the various tags I have in the metadata. I would assume there must be a way to highlight the relevant books in this view, and 'send to ipad'? There is an option to put a check mark next to a book, but this deosen't seem to do anything at all.
If anyone could help I would be grateful, the only other option I could think of would be to identify the relevant books in the itunes library view, write down thier titles, and then sift through the 'selected books' in my ipad 'books' tab and check them one by one!! Not fun
Many thanks!

Oh, how I wish that would work!
I know the thread is over a year ago, but I came upon searching for a solution to the exact same problem. iMaestro, you've described what's needed exactly--a way of checking all of them, and then deselecting a certain limited subset.
Unfortunately, when you check Sync Books, All Books, the selection portion is then greyed out. Maybe this problem was introduced with the latest iTunes version!
I think I'll be stuck having to painstakingly check most of a set of books, rather than just uncheck the dozen or so that clutter up the list.
Oh, related to that. I'm assuming that there's a way of deleting the books entirely... maybe that's another solution.

How can I disable two finger pinch on iPad?

Hi!
I'm trying to create a lab station where students will interact with a Keynote or PowerPoint presentation. However, I am running into problems trying to disable or lock certain actions so the students can't leave the presentation or program.
While in these programs, even if the students are locked into it, they still have the ability to exit the presentation or to minimize it. Since we the lab station won't have employee supervision, we won't be able to check on it frequently to make sure it is still set up correctly.
Is there a certain way to disable the "two finger pinch" touch screen command, or maybe another app that will allow us to have students to interact with pictures and slides. The requirements for this is that the iPad has to be independent of other computers, as well as being off a network.
We were pointed to Deep Freeze as a possible solution, but as far as we can tell, all that the program will do is create revertible snapshots of the hard drive, and not actually stop certain functions.
We tried to disable Multitasking Gestures, as well as turning on Guided Access, but neither of those options have helped.
Thank you for any support!

You can use a CHANGE event handler function to set the enabled property of the nonselected checkboxes to false.
cb1.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleCBs);
cb2.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleCBs);
cb3.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleCBs);
function handleCBs(evt:Event):void {
     // change the status of all
     for (var i:int = 1; i<4; i++){
          this["cb"+String(i)].enabled = !this["cb"+String(i)].enabled;
     // enabled the selected checkbox
     evt.currentTarget.enabled = true;
That example will toggle the checkboxes from enabled to disabled and back again, so if one was to uncheck a checkbox, the rest would be enabled again.
Have you considered using radio buttons instead? They will only allow one selection at a time.

HT1766 How can I change the location of my iPad backup to an external hard drive (I'm using Windows XP)?

Hi Everyone,
My computer's hard drive isn't very big and it's getting quite full backing up my iPhone and iPad. I would like to transfer the back ups to an external hard drive but I haven't figured out how to do this. Also, I would also like to move the Apps folder to the external hard drive.
Although I hope to eventually purchase an Apple computer, for now I still have a PC running Windows XP. Does anyone know how to transfer these files to an external hard drive using Windows XP?
My iPad is the newest with retina display, 128 GB Wi-fi.
Many thanks!

Relocate iOS device backups
Assuming you're running Windows Vista or later you can use the following steps:
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your external drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you're still running Windows XP you can use Junction (cmd line tool) or NTFSLink (shell ext). In both cases you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then use the tools to get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
Note that while this method works for iOS device backups it cannot be used to redirect sections of the media library.

How can I change the location of the iPAD backup

It is possible to change the location on the harddisk where iTunes is backuping the iPAD?
Thanks

are you looking to move the bloated Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup file? i had this same problem (my iTunes points to an external drive, but the default Backup Profile is still stored locally, and with a 64GB iPhone, it's killing my hard drive. here's what i found!
there are several posts about this, none are apple sanctioned it appears, all work arounds. read these:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3100828?tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16235234
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2617941
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16438310
the last one has the most simple directions i think. here's the direct link to his blog post (i can't take credit!)
http://pep-p.com/wp/?p=44
basically you will "Create a symbolic directory link using the mklink command". no software to install, just a little dos editing.
best of luck!
