How do I sync and keep my apps?

My hard drive failed on my Imac and I had to have it replaced. I have an ipad 2 with alot of paid apps.  how do  I get them back on my itunes account? Everytime I go to sync it says its going to delete my ipad and replace it with nothing.
thanks

One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data is a good idea.

First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad.

  • How to share, sync and keep updated ipad and iphone contents?

    Hi! I've got both an iPhone and an iPad with common apps, such as Calendar and Notes. How can I share the contents from one device to another from iTunes? Is there anyhow I can sync them so both devices keep updated content of any common app? thanks!

    Are you using iCloud on all devices? That's one of the features of using iCloud - keeping all of your devices in sync seamlessly. You don't have to sync with iTunes in order for this to work.
    Settings>iCloud> Turn the Calendar and Notes app on on all devices.

    If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
    If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • How do I make and keep a copy of a photo in iPhoto so that I can edit the copy and keep the unedited original?

    How do I make and keep a copy of a photo in iPhoto (version 9.5.1) so that I can edit the copy and keep the unedited original?

    You don't have to. iPhoto does that automatically. Note the command in Photos menu to 'Revert to Original' and the original can be exported at any time using the Export command.
    Longer answer:
    All edits in iPhoto are virtual. The database records your decisions and then applies them to a copy of the original. So your original is untouched. Your edited version is never "fixed" until you export it.

  • I bought my wife a 5c for xmas and set it up under my itunes id. She didn't have one. Every so oftem my ID still shows up under different aps. I set her up an apple id now and want to reset everything to her ID. How do I do it and keep the apps?

    How do I switch this phone over to my Wifes new Apple ID and keep the phone lists,, apps etc that I set up? (unlocked) New

    You must first go to your Apple ID and take the device off of your listed devices and then wait until it is updated accordingly ...Next link the iPhone to her Apple ID.  go to the app store and on to 'featured' scroll down to the bottom and it shows your apple id, click it and sign out and you can then sign in with your new apple id
    If you mean your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  If you are signing back into the same account, just with a renamed ID, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  Your data will be synced back when you sign back in.  However, if you are changing to a new account with a new ID and need to migrate your synced data to the new account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you sign back in and turn on your iCloud data syncing.
    If you want to keep your photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Sae to Camera Roll).

  • How can I sync and use iCloud right (when I've been doing it wrong)

    First off I have to burnish my pride a bit by saying that I've been using Macs since 1988 and I'm a developer and UI designer and know all the geeky stuff and all the gadgets and blah blah. 
    Now that that's out of the way, I only got into using iTunes with another device when I got my iPad back in 2010.  I never had an iPod before.  I used to buy songs through iTunes, stored my ripped music from CDs (and even a few songs through P2P networks I admit) all in iTunes.  I always treated the music like other data and just backed it up on drives and never really made a concerted effort to sync anything to anything.  I occasionally used 3rd party s-ware like Xilisoft to manage copying files back to my hard drive.  I'm also a big fan of TidyUp (www.hyperbolicsoftware.com) to remove duplicate files and all that.  My backup procedure is, sorry to say, just buy another drive and keep swapping data.  I'm sorry...I suck. 
    Then I got an iPhone early this year and started another combination of apps and media that never quite synced up with my hard drive.  When iCloud came along, I updated my iPhone and learned that it took all my apps and media off b/c I never synced that up properly.  I eventually got the media and apps back onto my iPhone through iCloud.  I see how the syncing thing can be a really wonderful method...when done correctly, esp. w/iCloud.
    But now the desktop has only the apps & music from my iPhone (i think).  I'm about to update my iPad to iOS 5 and have a bunch of questions:
    When it says "There are purchased items on the iPad “_____” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?" I cancel.  But if I go to Purchased from the iPad and drag them to the Library, when I go back to update, it gives me the same message. 
    Is there a way, I guess 3rd party, to get apps from the iPad to the desktop?
    I see books on my ipad, but not the same books that I purchases through Kindle or Google books, just some (not all) of the books in my iBooks.
    Is there any way to designate through iTunes what songs were purchased and what were imported from previous CDs?  Yeah, I can count on iCloud and my other drives to locate all the music, but it would be great to see this displayed in advance. 

    went to the apple store and got a little more detail.  he said to first backup the iPad (right-click on it in iTunes). then 'restore' the iPad.  THEN update.  I downloaded the update software, so now my option is "restore & update" which i'm doing now. 
    I still don't get how you can look in iTunes at a device's apps in the Library view and see apps from my iPhone, but it doesn't show me the apps for the iPad. What I see there are the apps from my iPhone.  I only see iPad's apps when I look at that device in iTunes>Summary.  The rep had no idea why there was not the complete listing of books on iTunes as there was on the iPad. 
    Thanks....
