HT1695 How do I link my iPad to my new Mac mini?

I cannot seem to link my iPad to my new Mac mini. My iPhone worked automatically but not my iPad.

Did you create a new iTunes account or update the old one ? If you updated the old account then you can tap on it in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with the updated version and it should get 'refreshed' on the iPad.
If you created a new account then you can still log out of the old account and log in with the new one, but any content bought/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that account (so only that account will be able to download its content or app updates).

How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
Thanks so much!!!!!!

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

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:

How to unlock a locked ipad It is locked and now i can not unlock it, the screen is not responding to my sliding the arrow to unlock. can someone suggest what should i do?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

How do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all the apps on the ipad

how do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all my apps that are on the ipad

This should be a pretty good guide for setting up the iPad with a new computer and for keeping your content.
Don't forget to authorize the new computer as well. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this Computer.
This is the original thread.

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.
Make sure that you move your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one as well for all of your music.
Here is an article that can help you with that.

How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?

How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?

I have a pc, rather than a mac, but the process is the same from what i have read on the Apple website.
You can restore to original factory settings as ifyou never synced the ipad with a computer by going to settings >reset (last option on the menu) > erase all content and settings.
Youcan also do it by connecting your ipad to your computer and choosing toRestore it from the 'summary' menu (below the Update option). I wasnot able to do it this way because it kept timing out with the iPadsoftware update, but it might work for you.
These options may take a while if you have lots ofcontent but once it is done it will just as it was when you bought it,with factory settings.
NB: Note that this process will erase all content, so if you have purchased apps, music etc, be sure to transfer your purchases first!
This process has worked for me and I am now just syncing my ipad with my desktop instead of my laptop.
Hope this helps.

"itunes is saying that the ipad cannot be synced to more than one computer."
This is very true.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

HT4527 How can move the apps and playlists on my iPad to my Mac? Whenever I attempt to sync, I get a message stating that all apps and music on my iPad will be replaced by content from my Mac and there are no content. Thanks.

the apps will not be deleted if the itunes is authorised for the apple id from which you downloaded the apps.
for the songs if you have downloaded it from a store other than itunes an app "TuneAid" will help you. download the full version then you can copy all the songs on the ipad to ur itunes library

How do I link my Iphone to a new computer?

How do I link my Iphone to a new Windows 8 computer? I finally worked out how to lget Itunes to recognise my phone, but now cannot get contacts / calendar etc to sync.

Hello DonaldGJameson,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Advanced
If you are experiencing difficulty with syncing, or have made a large number of changes on your computer, you can use the Advanced option to replace the Contacts, Calendars, or Notes on the iOS device during the next sync. These options will become deselected after the next sync. When you replace the data on the device, it will overwrite the data on the device. This action cannot be undone.
Have a nice day,
Mario

I want to know if you can delete the apps that show up .. All the ones you look at or buy ? How do you get them off I pad ?

I m wondering if you can delete the apps that show up that you have looked at or have purchased ? I have some that I'm trying to delete but don't know how to do it ...please help or let me know if it can be done ... Thanks

To delete any apps but the ones that are hard wired into your ipad, hold your finger down on the app icons until they start to wiggle. When they do, you'll see red circles with white X's in them. Tap on that and follow the prompt to delete the app.
If you can't delete apps, look in settings, general, restrictions and make sure that deleting apps hasn't been locked out.

I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email. I use Outlook, so how do I avoid setting up some new account and yet am able to send the link via Outlook?
I have a feeling it may have something to do with HotMail.com.

My Error: I found out that it was Mozilla Thunderbird that was causing the problem. I uninstalled it and the problem went away.
