How do I back up data from My iPad 2 to My Mackbook pro, that has a new HDD installed in it.

Hi guys,
I have an ipad2 with some home movies that I had transferred from my 2011 mackbook pro.
The HDD of my macbook had a mechanical failure recently so I had to get a new one installed but obviously lost some home movies and familly photos.
Now, I have some of that data on my ipad2 but but everytime I connect it to my mackbook, it wants to delete the previous data on my ipad2.
Is there any way that I can transfer those home movies from my ipad2 to my mackbook without deleting it?
And if that is not possible then how can I transfer data/movies etc from my macbook to ipad2 without deleting the existing one on the ipad?
P.S. They are both on the same wifi network and I have maverick OS on mac and iOS7 on the ipad.

It is a very easy thing to do. If you bought the apps with your Apple ID you can always download them again for free - using that same ID - in the purchased tab of the App Store. If you bought the apps, you can keep them all.
What I would do is ... Before you give her the old iPad, transfer all purchases into iTunes on your computer, backup your iPad with iTunes and sync one last time. Then when you get your new iPad, restore form the old iPad backup and sync with iTunes and the new iPad should be identical to the old one.

  • Help, how to restore backed-up data from old 3GS to my new 3GS?

    Hi I recently got a replacement phone, and when i synced it to iTunes, the prompt to restore my backed-up data came up. However when I tried to restore, it prompted me to update my new phone's software to 3.1 first.
    So now, after updating my software, how do I restore the data from my old phone?
    Coz the first prompt does not appear anymore.
    Would appreciate your feedback, thanks!

    Upgrade to 3.1 first, do not sync or backup. After you upgrade, reconnect & select restore from previous backup & all your data will be put back on the new phone.
    When you right click on your phone under devices in the right column, one of your choices will be restore from backup.

  • How do I transfer the data from one iPad to another

    How do I transfer all of the data from one ipad to another one?

    The best way IMO is to sync each iPad with your computer. Having all your stuff backed up on a computer is a good idea anyway. Just read how many folks here are trying to recover lost stuff that could easily be copied back from either backup or iTunes on the computer.
    Sync both iPads to the computer. Transfer all photos to the same computer. Then sync again selecting which items you want on each iPad.

  • How to get back the data from 'AddressBook.data.previous' ?

    Hi! First of all: After using iSync all my address book data were duplicated, and I deleted all duplicated data manually. Then, I resetted the iSync data under 'Advanced' in '.Mac Sync Preferences'. Unfortunately, iSync deleted all my AddressBook data. I found a file named 'AddressBook.data.previous' and another file named 'AddressBook.data.beforesave' in my 'home folder/Library/Application Support/AddressBook'. Looking carefully into that file, I saw all the data I lost before in it! - Thus, how can I restore that data back into my AddressBook now? Does anyone knows some help for me? Thank you for answering! - Greetings, Gisela

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You only have a very limited opportunity to recover your data this way. You should make sure that the Address Book application is not running, then drag the AddressBook.data file to your desktop or to the trash. Duplicate the AddressBook.data .previous file, and rename it AddressBook.data by removing the trailing <.previous> string. Then, launch the Address Book.
    The application will read the contents of this renamed file, and display your contact records. You should regularly back up your contact records using the built-in Back up Address Book… option under its File menu. A similar option is available in iCal.

  • How do I transfer app data from one iPad to another?

    Hello.
    I have an iPad 2 and am getting an iPad Air 2 (might get the Air 1 based on some of the issues I've seen in the forums!).  I have several apps with data (VPN info, system logins, ip addresses & games with levels reached, etc).  How do I transfer over the data inside the apps when I purchase my new iPad?  I know that all of my apps will follow my apple id, etc, but does the data?

    Like the other poster indicated, you can use the backup to do that. BUT do make sure you understand what will be backed up and won't be!

  • How do I get my data from my iPad to my new ipad 2?

    I just purchased a new iPad 2 and want to transfer all my stuff from my 1st gen iPad to my iPad 2, whatbisnthe easiest way to do this?

    You can backup your current iPad, and then restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (if you don't have the apps on your computer then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords onto the new iPad

  • How do I back up applications from my ipad 1

    Hi
    I have an old iPad 1. Gen. That's stuck on iOS 5. I want to reset it, but keep some apps on it. However some of the apps have been updated and now requires iOS6. So how do I backup my apps so I can restore them after I reset and clear the iPad?
    Best regards
    Mads

    that would depend on the operating system of your computer

  • TS1424 how do i permanently delete an app from my ipad in the purchased apps section that has already been deleted?

    I am trying to delete an app I no longer want or need completely from my purchased apps history. I deleted it from my main page but I dont want it to show up any more period. Any suggestions??

    You cannot delete it form your purchase history, as it is  a history of all of your purchases.  That is the point of your purchase history.
    You can hide it.

  • After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external back-up? Following Apple advice for use of Migration Assistant did not work creating similar issues leading to clean install.

    After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external hard drive?
    Following Apple advice I used Migration Assistant which crashed new system twice which is why I had to clean install Lion in the first place.
    Is there a sure way of doing it?
    I have only a few programs that I will have to install myself and that should not be a problem.
    I just want my data, music and photos back where I can use them.

    Time machine backups. I went to migration assistant a few hours ago and limited my selection to "users", no need for applications, settings and other files.  Stuff started moving over at a fast pace but has now seemed to stall.
    I will let it run overnight as there are lots of songs and photos as well as a few movies.
    If that does not work, then I will go into TM and try restore. I have restored some things in the past such a mail files and it has worked well. 
    The Apple fellow at the store told me to go right into TM, he may have had a point. I'll get it eventually.

  • How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

    how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

  • Recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step

    And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.
