How do I get music back onto my ipad after I took it off to update to iOS5?

How do I get my itunes purchases back onto my ipad after I took them off in order to update to iOS5?

As long as all the music you expect to be on the device after a sync/update is still in your iTunes library on the computer, it should be easy to resolve your conundrum. Navigate to the MUSIC tab of the iTunes sync preference screens and make sure the box to 'Sync Music' is checked along with any other preferences you may need to set to sync the music you want back on the device. Also, make sure you know if you have either the 'Manually Manage' or 'Sync Only Checked Songs And Videos' boxes checked on the SUMMARY tab of the sync preference screens because that affects how you decide what music you are syncing back to the device. You can get to the sync preference screens by clicking on the name of your device along the left hand side of the iTunes window when your device is connected to the computer. Hope that helps !

I purchased movies on my ipad and then when I synced to my computer they ended up in itunes but are now off the the ipad. How do I get them back onto the ipad. Thx!

I purchased tv shows and ibooks on my ipad and then when I synced with my computer they all ended up on my computer in itunes. They aren't on my ipad anymore. How do I put some of them back on my ipad. Also, I tried to make another purchase on my ipad but it said I didn't have enough room. I just updated my software and before I synced I had a bunch of shows on the pad. I don't understand why it's saying I don't have room especially since it took all my shows off. Thanks!!!

If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

Getting music back onto my computer after it crashed. Using same computer.

My current computer caught a virus of some sort. It erased almost the entire memory. Needless to say, my Itunes library was erased. I still have all of my music on my ipod. I am simply trying to put that music back onto the same computer. I have downloaded Itunes 10 and I thought I was ready to simply sync and the music would appear on my computer. That isn't the case. I need help putting the music back into my Itunes on my rebuilt computer. Any suggestions?

I'm going to assume that you never backed up any of the music on your iTunes library to an external source and that you weren't running any current antivirus software.
Might I suggest you purchase a Mac Mini with an external hard drive? Then you could use Time Machine to back up and wouldn't need the antivirus software.
But in the meantime, also assuming the music on the iPod was not purchased from the iTunes Store, download and install YamiPod from here: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ then follow the instructions.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you saying it's still there at iCloud.com
Is this recent data, old data or a mixture of each.

HT1414 I have just upgraded my ipad to ios 5.1.1. I did a backup to itunes before the upgrade. I have been able to get my books & music back onto my ipad but how do I get my apps back onto my ipad?

If the apps are not on your computer's iTunes (did you do File > Transfer Purchases prior to starting the update ?), then you could try downloading them to your computer (re-downloading) and then restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

Hey Ben,
If you backed up your photos on your computer, just sync back to your computer, and in iTunes, select Photos (with your device selected on the left side of iTunes window). Click to sync photos and select the photo album you want back on your device.
Good luck

Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. I must have clicked the wrong thing, now all the songs i purchased through my phone from itunes were replaced with the itunes that was on my computer, which is nothing. Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

Hi micha164,
I am curious to know how did Flash Player get uninstalled from Chrome? If you can please share steps to reproduce how your Flash Plugin got Removed?
Also, Can you open chrome application Goto Chrome://plugins and See if Adobe Flash Player Plugin is Disabled? If yes, kindly enable Flash Player Plugin by clicking the [blue colored]enable link and restart the browser to see if the changes have reflected.
Because Flash Player cannot be uninstalled from Chrome using any uninstaller, as it is embedded part of the app installer/update and can only be removed if you remove the plugin reference from the location on disk. Possibility is that your plugin got disabled and did not get enabled after that.
Please see if it helps. If the above does not work then the only resolve is to update Chrome app. Please let us know if your query got resolved or not.

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
