How do I set up a new ipad on an existing computer

I'm trying to set up an iPad 2 on my PC with Windows 7. I already have an iTunes account personly but created a new one for this device. When I plug it in to the laptop iTunes does not see it. I've tried several things to get it to recognize it to no avail. Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks

i have tried to authorize the computer, i have tried to upload my library to the new ipod, i have tried to do just about everything. I have 2 ipods hooked up to this computer, under different user name accounts, but both ipods are linked to my itunes account. I am trying to hook up a 3rd ipod for my youngest daughter to my account, like i did for my oldest. So, I made a 3rd user ID for this computer, and tried to sync the 3rd ipod, but the library isn't uploading to this ipod. Does this make sense/???

HT201060 How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters iCloud address when it won't let me because I've allowed her to be part of my family on my iPad.?

How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters icloud address when the new iPad won't let me cause I've made her part of my family group?

If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

How do I set up my new iPad to get the pictures from my Iphone?

I just got a new Ipad and have pictures on my Iphone 4s. Both have been set up to use the cloud for photo streaming. It doesn't appear to be working for the older pictures I have on my Iphone 4S. Any suggestions???
Thanks so much.

Dear Matt,
Thanks so much for your quick answer. The problem is that my Macbook Pro does not have Iphoto 11 which is what I was lead to believe is required for the Icloud streaming to work on it. I thought I cloud would work on the Ipad and Iphone but just not stream the photos to my MBP. Does that make sense. And happy holidays...

HT1695 how can I set-up my new ipad mini in a hotel that requires logon info via a browser?

I am in a hotel in Japan and stuck at the setup stage. I get the following error: Y'our iPad cannot not be activated beacuase the activation server cannot be reached'. Well ths is because the hotel requires extra logon info via a pop-screen in the web-browser. The Apple setup procedure does not allow to go into safari to do this. Any tips how to activate my iPad in this hotel?
Thanks

Leon...
You need a broadband connection to activiate an iPad.

No, it wor't using Safari and not a good idea to use a hotel network for lack of security.

How do I set up my new Iphone to an existing account

When I plugged in my phone to my itunes it asked if I wanted to set this up as a new Iphone or restore from the backup of my ipod. I dont know what those mean.

You apparently have an iPod Touch? It is asking you if you want to setup your iPhone with the backup from that iPod which would include the notes, data, etc.

HT1351 I have a new iPod Touch......I was able to successfully set up a new account, but I want it to be separate from the 800 songs I already have in my iTunes library. How do I set up a separate library on the same computer?

I have a new iPod touch; I have an iTunes library of music for an older iPod shuffle. I'd like to set up the iPod touch for my wife with a separate library of music - I was successful in setting up a separte account, but it seems my 800 songs are still there in the library. How do a set up a new account on the same computer without bringing along all the music that will clog up her iPod touch?

There's a few ways of doing it. The following document may be of some help:

Sorry no. That's how it works.
Check if you still have an old backup and do a restore otherwise it's gone.

I am setting up my new iPad mini. I managed most of it, but the contacts, and some of the apps didn't transfer. How do I accomplish this?

I am setting up my new iPad mini from my iMac. I have backed up my old ipad so all info has been saved and sinced. I did not get my contacts and apps when the download, or sinc was complete. How do I add them? BTW, the instructions given while installing during the get started portion instructed me to use the start as new option. Thanks

You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad.

When the tech set up my new iPad last week, I can get email on IT, but now I can't get email on my Mac laptop. What's wrong? Tish

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
