How do I connect my iPad to a new PC and lose the link to my old PC?

I have purchased very littl music through iTunes, but I have a great many CDs copied to iTunes. I established a good link between my iPad (iOS 7) and my PC. Initially I had iTunes Match but my broadband was too slow. I used the sync over wi-fi connection.I then changed my PC. When I connect my iPad to my new PC, iTunes does not see the device. I have recently deauthorised all my devices and re-authorised my new PC (Windows 8.1). My iPad in the Sync over Wi-Fi settings, still has my old PC device name and does not appear to be amendable. I don't mind losing any iTunes data already on my iPad. Does anyone knw what I can do to establish the link?

Hey HK Sussex,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you need to setup Wi-Fi syncing with your new computer:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062
Turn on Wi-Fi syncing
To sync your content to your iOS device through Wi-Fi, you must turn on the option in iTunes:
1. Connect your iOS device to your computer using the Apple USB cable.
2. Open iTunes and select your device on the left side of the iTunes window. In iTunes 11, your device will be in the upper-right. You can also find your device by expanding the sidebar from the View menu.
3. Click the Summary tab.
4. Scroll to the Options section and select "Sync with this [iOS device] over Wi-Fi."
If you are having issues with your device not being recognized in iTunes when connected via USB, see this article:

Thanks,

  • How can I connect my Ipad Air to my PC to see the Ipad screen on the PC? I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. Thanks

    How can I connect my Ipad Air to my PC to see the Ipad screen on the PC?
    I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
    Thanks for any help! Regards

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

  • HT1338 my old mac cant connect to internet and my migration assistant needs an upgrade is there any way to download to my new mac and install the upgrade on my old one so i can complete the migration process?

    I just purchase a new IMac, I am trying to use migration assistant. the problem I am having is my old mac cannot connect to the internet and it needs a software update, can I download the update on my new mac and install it somehow on my old mac?

    If it's a free update, search Apple's support site for it and move the dmg as you would any file. If it's a paid upgrade, no; the Mac App Store upgrades, while downloadable, can't be downloaded from a Mac which can't use them.

  • How can I connect my ipad to a new computer?

    My computer broke down and I need to sync the contents of myipad to the new computer.
    Does anybody know how to do that?
    Thanks for your help.

    You followed these steps and it did not work for you? This is copied from the discussion thread. When you get to step 5, try restoring from the backup that you just created in step 4.
    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.
    From here down are my remarks and not the OP's remarks from the other discussion ....
    Any music content, photos or movies in your iTunes library that was not purchased in iTunes will have to be transferred from your old computer to your new one. If you don't have a backup of the old iTunes library to access, you have to start all over again by importing your music, photos and movies into the new iTunes library in order to sync the content to the iPad.

  • Is there an accessory that will allow me to connect my iPad 2 to a TV and at the same time have it charging?

    I'm going on vacation and want to watch movies on a TV by connecting my iPad 2 to the TV.  I've got the cable for that.  However, I'm afraid of the battery going dead right in the middle of a program.  I've noticed that the iPad dock only has one outlet in the back for a cable.  Is there a dock or another accessory that would allow me to have my iPad charging while I also have it connected to the TV to watch the movie?  Thanks.

    If your TV is HDMI (and most are now) the Digital AV adapter does just that. Just remember that you need to have an HDMI cable.

  • How do i connect my ipod to a new computer without losing the songs on my..

    I bought a new computer and I've installed itunes on it. I want to transfer all the songs on my ipod to itunes on my new computer. How can i do this without losing the songs on my ipod? Can anyone help me?

    scottydubs,
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.

  • How can I hyperlink from FM to an external document and make the links work in PDF-XChange Viewer?

    A couple of months ago some of you kindly taught me how to insert links to an external document in FrameMaker. The syntax that made all the difference, was the following:
    message openfile "H:/folder name/to/your/file.ext"
    I converted my FrameMaker file to PDF format using Acrobat Distiller, and everything worked like a charm when the users opened the resulting PDF document in Acrobat Reader.
    Much to my frustration, someone has now decided that the organisation should use PDF-XChange Viewer instead of Acrobat Reader, and my links don't work anymore... Nothing happens when you click on them. (This only applies to links to external documents. Links to e.g. websites work nicely.)
    Has anybody got any idea what I could do to make the links work in PDF-Xchange Viewer as well? Or am I trying to do the impossible now?
    Best regards

  • I got a new computer but my itunes is still on my old computer.  how do i move my itunes to my new computer and get it off of my old computer

    I now have my daughter's old laptop computer.  She had her itunes account on it previously and now has her music libraries, etc. on her new laptop.  I just uploaded itunes to her old computer so I can put my own music on the computer.  But itunes still shows my daughters 2 apple devices on the old laptop - her iphone and her ipod.  How can I put my devices on the old laptop and make sure I don't mess up her devices that she syncs, etc. to her new computer?  I have an 'older' nano that I put music on years ago using a laptop (that no longer works) that I'm trying to put more music on.  I also just got an ipad so am using my new apple account now (I can't even remember my old account information).

  • How do I import an index into Indesign for epub and keep the links live?

    What is the best way to import a subject index (the indexer uses skyindex, and has an option to output index links to indesign para numbers), but he currently provides a word file for import into Indesign 5.5 with dead page numbers. We need to retain that for print publishing, but change the index numbers for epub, to links in both directions. Whats the best way to tackle this? I hope someone out there has done this!

    Page numbers do not exist in epub.
    Have a read through this:

  • When i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my game from the beginning

    when i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my games from the beginning or will they sync over to where i left off?

    Game settings are part of the backup. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPad for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPad for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
