1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

  • Please help if you can: I accidentally deleted the IPOD app for my IPAD 3. I need it to enable HOME SHARING. How can I restore or reinstall it? It is not an app I bought, it came on the IPAD from Apple.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Geotagging in photostream works in ipad but not in iphone (which was used to take the photos!)

    So I took some photos two days ago with my IPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.3) and they were uploaded automatically to my photostream. Today, I took several photos again with my IPhone 4 and they were uploaded to photostream normally. The problem is that the geotagging for these photos works only on my Ipad 4 and not on my IPhone which was used to take the photos in the first place! All photos are synced 100% between my two devices but the geotagging of photos stops on my IPhone two days ago and the pictures I took with it are geotagged properly only on my Ipad through photostream. Any ideas how to fix this?

    If that happened to me, I would check Settings > Privacy > Location Services on my iPhone.  I'm not sure which particular item would affect the outcome there, but certainly I would check that both "Location Services" and "Camera" were "On".

  • The computer I was using to sync my iPod crashed how can I transfer my music and audiobooks from the iPod to my new ipad?

    The computer I use to sync my iPod crashed. How do I transfer the music and audiobooks to my new ipad?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a thrird-party program like one of thos discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the old iPd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the new iPod from that backup. You will have to reeenter passwords since they only get restored to same device.

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

  • How can play songs when I keep getting asked to authorize a computer which is already authroised?

    I am using iTunes on my PC and it is an authorized computer, as is my husbands iPhone.
    lately, I have been purchasing songs but some of them (not all) are prompting me to authorized my computer to play.  I put my password in etc and it says my computer is already authorized but it still wont let me play.
    The songs seem to download perfectly on my husbands iPhone.
    Subsequently, I have paid for songs I cannot listen to!
    I have downloaded the updated software for itunes but that does not seem to have made any difference.
    Any advice and help appreciated.
    Thanks

    lately, I have been purchasing songs but some of them (not all) are prompting me to authorized my computer to play.
    That suggests the tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • How can I get iCloud purchases that I've deleted from my computer to NOT show up with the new iTunes?

    I've downloaded a lot of free indie music through itunes, and itunes has graciously stored all of my purchases on iCloud.  The thing is, I deleted A LOT of that music from my computer, but not from iCloud, and now it's all showing up again.  Is there a way I can get rid of the stuff I've deleted, without doing it one by one?

    I had a similar problem when I updated to iTunes 11. The problem seems to have been solved by doing the following:
    Edit > Preferences > Store. Then unclick "Show iTunes in the Clous purchases". I hope it works!

  • How can I track forms made w/Acrobat 9 on my old computer (now using a new computer)

    I have been using Acrobat 9 over the last year to create training test, I distribut them and have them returned to a response folder in out network, my computer that i created these forms on has been replaced with a new/faster model.  I went in to view the past forms and was able to access them but not able to access the tracker function to tell who and who has not returned the test.  Do i need to bring back in the old relic of a computer to access the tracker function?

    You should recreate it using the New Computer.
