How do I backup data from iPad without iTunes

Hi,
I seem to have set the backup password in iTunes at some point in the past and can't seem to remember what it is. I therefore can't restore my iTunes backups and upgrade to iOS 7. I want to figure out how to backup all the info on my iPad so that I can upgrade to iOS 7 and manually put back the info. Does anyone know how I should go about this?
Thanks

You can create a backup in itunes.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  But you will not be able to view whats in your backup. 
To backup only your contacts, I would need to know what OS youre running.

  • How do I move data from iPad 2 to iPad 3?

    I thought all I needed to do was sync the iPad 2 one last time, and then sync the iPad 3 under the same device name.  So I connected the new one, and a dialog box appeared which provided two choices - restore, or set up as new.  When I tried restore, it said I needed to set up as new.  So I did.  All the apps came over, but the data in them did not (for example, the notepad is empty).

  • How do I transfer data from IPAD to USB drive?

    How do I transfer data from my IPAD to my PC or USB port?  I have orginal files and documents that I need to put on a USB drive and I do not know enough about the IPAD to figure it out.  Thank you.

    You need to transfer the files to your computer and then copy them to the thumb drive.
    You can use file sharing if your apps support it.
    iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
    You can use cloud sync services like DropBox.
    Dropbox - Dropbox for iPad
    There are apps that let you transfer the files using USB or WiFi.
    File Manager - Folder Plus on the App Store on iTunes
    Or like Kappy suggested, email will work as well.

  • How can I backup data from a case-sensitive volume to a NON-case-sensitive volume?

    The case-sensitive volume in this instance being a desktop-mounted disk image volume.
    A tragi-comedy in too many acts and hours
    Dramatis Personae:
    Macintosh HD: 27" iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (iMac10,1), 12 GB RAM, 1 TB SATA internal drive
    TB1: 1 TB USB external drive
    TB2: 2 TB USB to Serial-ATA bridge external drive
    Terabyte: a .dmg disk image and resulting desktop volume of the same name (sorry, I don't know the technical term for a .dmg that's been opened, de-compressed and mounted -- evanescently -- on the desktop)
    Drive Genius 3 v3.1 (3100.39.63)/64-bit
    Apple Disk Utility Version 11.5.2 (298.4)
    Sunday morning (05/08/11), disk utility Drive Genius 3's drive monitoring system, Drive Pulse, reported a single bad block on an external USB2.0 1TB drive, telling me all data would be lost and my head would explode if I didn't fix this immediately. So I figured I'd offload the roughly 300 GB of data from TB1 to TB2 (which was nearly empty), with the intention of reinitializing TB 1 to remap the bad block and then move all its data BACK from TB 2. When I opened TB1's window in the Finder and tried to do a straight "Select All" and drag all items from TB1 to TB2, I got this error message:
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
    The error message didn't tell me WHICH volume had "the wrong case sensitivity for a backup," and believe me, or believe me not, this was the first time I'd ever heard that there WAS such a thing as "case sensitivity" for a drive. I tried dragging and dropping some individual folders -- some of them quite large, in the 40GB range -- from TB1 to TB2 without any problem whatsoever, but the majority of the items were the usual few-hundred-MB stuff that seems to proliferate on drives like empty Dunkin' Donuts coffee cups on the floor of my car, and I didn't relish the idea of spending an afternoon dragging and dropping dribs and drabs of 300GB worth of stuff from one drive to another.
    Being essentially a simple-minded soul, I had what I thought was the bright idea that I could get around the problem by making a .dmg disk image file of the whole drive, stashing it on TB2, repairing and re-initializing TB1, and then decompressing the disk image I'd made of TB1, and doing the "drag and drop" of all the files in resulting desktop volume to TB1. So I made the .dmg of TB1, called "Terabyte," stashed that .dmg on TB2 (no error messages this time), re-initialized and then rebooted the iMac from my original Snow Leopard 10.6.1 disks and used Disk Utility to erase and initialize TB1 -- making sure that it was NOT initialized as case-sensitive, and installed a minimal system on TB1 from the same boot. Then I updated that 10.6.1 system to 10.6.7 with System Update, and checked to see that Disk Utility reported all THREE drives -- internal, 1TB, and 2TB -- as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and no "case sensitive" BS. I also used Drive Genius 3's "information" function for more detailed info on all three drives. Except for the usual differing mount points, connection methods, and S.M.A.R.T. status (only the Macintosh HD internal, SATA 1TB drive supports S.M.A.R.T.), everything seemed to be oojah-***-spiff, all three drives showing the same Partition Map Types: GPT (GUID Partition Table.) Smooth sailing from here on out, I thought.
    Bzzzzt! Wrong!
    When I opened the Terabyte .dmg and its desktop volume mounted, I tried the old lazy man's "Select All" and drag all items from the desktop-mounted drive "Terabyte" to TB1, I got the error message:
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
    I then spent the next three hours on the phone with AppleCare (kids -- when you buy a Mac ANYTHING, cough up the money for AppleCare. Period.), finally reaching a very pleasant senior tech something-or-other in beautiful, rainy Portland, OR. Together we went through everything I had done, tried a few suggestions she offerred, and, at the end of three hours, BOTH of us were stumped. At least I didn't feel quite as abysmally stupid as I did at the beginning of the process, but that was all the joy I had gotten after two solid days of gnawing at this problem -- and I mean SOLID; I'm retired, and spend probably 12 hours a day, EVERY day, at the keyboard, working on various projects.
    The AppleCare senior tech lady and I parted with mutual expressions of esteem, and I sat here, slowly grinding my teeth.
    Then I tried something I don't know why I was so obtuse as to not have thought of before: I opened Apple's Disk Utility and checked the desktop-mounted volume Terabyte (Mount Point: /Volumes/Terabyte), the resulting volume from opening and uncompressing the .dmg "Terabyte".
    Disk Utility reported: "Format : Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)." Doh!
    Obviously, TB1, the 1 TB USB external drive I'd actually bought as part of a bundle from MacMall when I bought my 27" iMac, and which I had initialized the first day I had the iMac up and running (late November 2009), had somehow gotten initialized as a Case-sensitive drive. How, I don't know, but I suspect the jerk behind the keyboard. Whatever the case, when I created the Terabyte disk image (the drive's original name: when I erased and re-initialized it -- see above -- I renamed it "1TB" for quick identification), the original drive's "Case-sensitive" format was encoded too. So when I tried to drag and drop EVERYTHING from the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" to the newly initialized and "blessed" (now THERE's a term from the past!), the system recognized it as an attempt as a total volume backup, and hit me with "The volume [the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" -- BB] has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup." And, of course, the reinitialized TB1 was now correctly formatted as NOT "case-sensitive."
    Well, that solved the mystery (BTW, Disk Utility identified the unopened Terabyte.dmg as an "Apple UDIF read-only compressed {zlib}, which is why the .dmg file could be copied to ANY volume, case sensitive or not), but it didn't help me with my problem of having to manually move all that data from the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" to TB1. I tried to find a way to correct the problem at the .dmg AND opened-volume-from-.dmg level with every disk utility I had, to no avail.
    Sorry for the long exposition, but others may trip over this "case-sensitive" rock in the road, and I wanted to make the case as clear as possible.
    So my problem remains: other than coal shovel by coal shovel, is there any way to get all the data off this case-sensitive desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" and onto TB1.
    Not that I know whether it would made any difference or not, one of the things that got me into this situation was my inability to get "Time Machine" properly configured so it wasn't making new back-ups every (no lie) 15 minutes.
    Philosophical bonus question: what's the need for this "case-sensitive," "NOT case-sensitive" option for disk initialization?
    As always, thanks for any help.

    "Am I to understand that you have a case-sensitive volume with data that you want to copy to a case-insensitive volume? And the Finder won't let you do it? If that's what the problem is, the reason should be obvious: on the source volume, you may have two files in the same folder whose names differ only in case. When copying that folder to the target volume, it's not clear what the Finder should do."
    Yes, I understand all that... NOW.
    What I had (have) is a USB external 1TB drive (henceforth known as "Terabyte") that I bought with my 27" iMac. I formatted, and put a minimal (to make it bootable) system on Terabyte the same day back in late November 2009 that I set up my 27" iMac. Somehow -- I don't know how -- Terabyte got initialized as "case-sensitive." I didn't even know at the time that there WAS such a thing as "case-sensitive" or "NOT case-sensitive" format.
    Sunday morning (05/08/11), Drive Pulse, a toolbar-resident utility (that's Part of Drive Genius 3) that monitors internal and external drives for physical, problems, volume consistency problems, and volume fragmentation, reported a single bad block on the volume Terabyte, advising me that it would be best if I re-formatted Terabyte ASAP. I thought I could open Terabyte in a Finder window, Select All, and drag everything on the drive to ANOTHER USB external drive of 2 TB capacity (henceforth known as TB2). When I tried to do that, I got an error message:
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
    First I'd heard of "case sensitivity" -- I'm not too bright, as you seem to have realized.
    Oddly enough (to me), I could move huge chunks of data, including a folder of 40GB, from Terabyte to TB2 with no problem.
    Then the scenario unfolded per my too-convoluted message: several hours of trying things on my own, including making a .dmg of Terabyte (henceforth to be known as Terabyte.dmg) -- which left me with the exact same problem as described in the previous 4 paragraphs; and my 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare, who at least explained this case-sensitive business, but, after some shot-in-the-dark brainstorming -- tough to do with only one brain, and THAT on the OTHER end of the line --  the very pleasant AppleCare rep and I ended up equally perplexed and clueless as to how to get around the fact that a .dmg of a case-sensitive volume, while not case-sensitive in its "image" form (Terabyte.dmg), and thus able be transferred to TB1 or TB2 with no problems whatsoever, when opened -- either by double-clicking or opening in Disk Utility -- produced a desktop-mounted volume (henceforth known as the volume "Terabyte," the original name of the case-sensitive volume from which TB1.dmg had been made) that had the same case-sensitivity as the original from which it was made.
    In the meantime, having gotten the data I needed to save off the physical USB "case-sensitive" volume Terabyte in the form of Terabyte.dmg, I erased and re-initialized the physical USB "case-sensitive" volume Terabyte, getting rif of the case sensitivity, and renaming it TB1. But it all left me back at square one, EXCEPT I had saved my data from the original "Terabyte" drive, and reformatted that drive to a NON- case-sensitive data now named TB1. The confusion here stems from the fact that problem case-sensitive drive, from which I made Terabyte.dmg, was originally named "Terabyte". When I re-initialized it as a NON case-sensitive drive, I renamed it TB1. I'm sorry about the confusing nomenclature, which I've tried to improve upon from my original message -- usual text-communication problem: the writer knows what he has in mind, but the reader can only go by what's written.
    So, anyway, I still have the same problem, the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" still cannot be transferred in one whole chunk to either my internal drive, TB1, TB2, as the Finder interprets it as a volume backup (which it is), and reads the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" as case-sensitive, as the original volume -- from which the disk image Terabyte.dmg was made -- had been at the time I made it. 
    "As long as that situation doesn't arise, you should be able to make the copy with a tool that's less fastidious than the Finder, such as cp or rsync."
    I'm afraid I have no idea what "cp or rsync" are. I'd be happy to be educated. That's why I came here.

  • How do i migrate data from ipad to macbook pro?

    After a hard drive failure on my macbook I have a lot of infomation on an ipad that i want to transfer to the rebuilt mac.  Unfortunately syncing does not transfer, nor does drag and drop nor copy paste.
    If I try to sync the macbook wants to replace the data on  the ipad with the items on the mac.  Is there anyway to transfer data from an ipad to a mac?
    Incidently the ipad is an ipad 1 and the mac was purchased in December an rebuilt in June.

    What sort of information do you want to copy back ? You can copy iTunes purchases (music, apps, ibooks, tv shows, films) to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If you have music bought from other sources and/or copied from CDs and you haven't got a backup of them, then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad.
    If you mean information as in documents then you should be able to copy them back from the apps that they are stored in e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc
    If you want to copy photos that were originally synced from a computer then you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network - but photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, so any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How do I delete songs from iPad without Match deleting them from iCloud?

    I've used Match to put a bunch of songs on my 16GB iPad and now I've run out of memory and need to remove some of them.  How do I remove them from the iPad without Match automatically deleting them from iCloud and iTunes on my laptop?  I only want to take the songs off the iPad.

    This is a topic that has been covered in-depth on this forum.
    You can delete individual songs by swiping across them and tapping the delete button. Or, in the Artist of Album view tap-n-hold for a second, then tap the "x" in the upper left to delete. Or you can delete all downloaded music by going to Settings > General > Usage, tapping Music, then swiping and tapping the delete button.
    This will not remove the music from the cloud or the iTunes library.

  • How can i import photos from ipad to itunes, how can i import photos from ipad to itunes

    How can I import photos from my iPad to iTunes on my Windows Vista PC?

    I'm puzzled!  I had received a set of jpg files through an e-mail on my ipad.  For reasons unknown to me, they got saved to my (only) album, that had an irrelevant name.  When I tried to change the name of the album, I received a message that I could only change the name of the album after importing them to the computer where (as I recall) iTunes resided.  After much huffing and puffing, I managed to import the photos, to the Windows computer, but they wound up in a Windows Photo Gallery directory, where I put them into an appropriately named album.  Now, how do I get them back to the iPad.  (I also learned, I think, that iTunes will have nothing to do with the photos.

  • If i rent a movie through itunes, but do not transfer to ipad how can i download it to ipad without itunes and not be charged again?

    I rented a movie via itunes and downloaded it to itunes at the time of rental.  i was unable to transfer it to my ipad while connected to itunes due to a size constraint...i now have room on my ipad but am not near my itunes computer (2500 miles away), is it possible to download the movie directly from the iTunes Store to my ipad without having to rent it again and be charged a second time?
    please advise.
    thanks

    No, rentals are only allowed to be on 1 device at a time, so you would need to move it from the computer to the ipad. This applies to rentals from the computer, if rented on a device (ipad) it is only viewable on that ipad and cannot be transferred elsewhere.

  • Wifi grayed out after update. Restored phone as new. How do I get data from iCloud without wifi?

    My wifi was grayed out and my battery drains drastically after updating to 6.1.3.
    I have tried all possible solutions to get my wifi back. However, nothing seems to work. I am now trying to (at least) get my battery back to normal. I read in other posts that restoring the iPhone as a new phone > drain battery > full charge might help.
    I did the restore as new phone and do not want to restore from back up. I just like to manually back up some (not all) data I've lost and keep my phone like this, like new. How do i back up my messages and photos from iCloud if my phone wont connect to wifi?
    Any ideas?
    Is there another way to get my photos and messages back aside from doing an iCloud backup?

    You can't view or extract backed up data at iCloud.com. AFAIK, without a WiFi connection, there is no way to retrieve your data. You'd need another iPhone to restore your iCloud backup to in order to retrieve it. Of couse this would require either doing an out of warranty replacement for your existing phone, ot borrowing a phone from someone, erasing it, then setting it up using your Apple ID.
    You could make an appointment at an Apple store to see what the genius bar can offer you.

    How does the photo let you do this?

    Not possible with photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process. The only way to delete photos from the iPad that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process is via the iTunes sync process - except for erasing all data and settings from your iPad.
