How do I register my ipad to a different computer

Could anybody give me advice on how to I register and sync my iPad2 to a new computer.  I get a message that my iPad2 is alredy sync'd to another library that I do not have acess to but I simply want to do a full backup of my iPad2 to ensure that all my apps and data is secure before I upgrade to iOS5.  However I want to keep the iTunes Library that I have on my Mac, not my iPad.  I also want all my mobileme info, on my computer, in the cloud or wherever it is kept, to remain secure and unchanged.  Any advice would bemuch appreciated.  Thanks

You don't.

    I  recently looked at a question about how not to sync the iPad to a different computer... But I can't find edit to start anything.. Please help me

    what exactly do you mean?
    do you want to prevent your ipad from syncing when your are going to plug it in into ANOTHER computer?
    if yes, you have the possibility to CHECK (enable) the option "disable auto-sync ..." (i don't know the english term) within the itunes' settings.

    Your question makes no sense. You "connect" an iOS device to iTunes on your computer via WiFi or by using the supplied cable.

  • 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.

  • HT1535 I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my i

    I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
    This is intensely confusing, sorry.

    Question.....
    "I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
    Answer.....
    Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
    You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

  • How many times can you connect ipad to a different computer?

    I have an Ipad 1 and when connecting it to my new laptop (not Mac) it told me the device could only be connected one more time to a different computer. Are there limits on Ipads as to how many computers or times we can connect them to? Is there any way to reset this or not?

    When it comes to apps, this is right, unless you use the Windows version of iFunBox (the Mac version, not even the latest version, doesn't work for direct IPA transfer). However, you can transfer / sync music / videos from several computers using third-party tools (without jailbreaking!!) with tools like SyncPod / FreeSync.

    Change the Apple ID used with a device - Settings > Store > tap on your AppleID
    When he connects it to his iTunes library it will detect a different library is being used and wipe your content to be replaced with the content of his iTunes library.

  • How can i transfer a movie into my ipad from a different computer?

    I had the original ipad. I download a digital copy of a movie into my personal laptop however all movies are downloaded originally from my wife's Macintosh. When I plug in the ipad into my Sony laptop, it states 'all movies will be lost" if I place the movie from a different computer. How can I transfer the movie into my ipad?

    Put the movie onto whatever computer you use to sync.  Move the movie into i tunes, and sync.
