How do I transfer content from iPad to PC

I need to transfer all content from my iPad to my Windows 7 DELL laptop. This includes music not purchased on iTunes in addition to that purchased on iTunes. Apple support technician suggested I post this question to this forum for answers.
Thanks in advance.
PS: The problem has cropped up after my hard disk was replaced by DELL, and now I have lost most of the music - but the iPad has most of it.

Did you ever use your computer to set up your iPad? If so, then you just use iTunes to do a backup of your old one and use that backup to set up your new one.
However if you never associated your ipad to a computer you kinda have to piece meal it. Try a service like dropbox. Upload things like photos and the such there. You will then download them from dropbox when you're on your new one.
Also, content from iTunes, you can just redownload that, so no need to back it up (the only catch is if the file isn't available in iTunes to redownload

    How do you transfer contents from old iPad to new?

    I'm not using iCloud, so do not know for sure.  I feel as if I have more control by using iTunes on my computer, to determine what is on my iPad, and what gets deleted.
    If your wife will share the same Apple ID with you, you do not need to remove everything from the old iPad.  She can share your purchased Apps, music, et cetera.
    In iTunes, you can have several iOS devices sharing Apps under a common Apple ID, but you can also "uncheck" specific Apps you do not want on one of your devices.  Each device has an identity so iTunes should remember which App goes on which device during future syncs.
    If your wife will have her own individual Apple ID, you need to go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings.  This will return the iPad to factory defaults, except it will retain the latest iOS version installed.

  • How do you transfer content from an iPod touch to iTunes?

       How do you transfer content from an ipod touch to itunes without buying another software?

    You can't.  Mobile devices are not set up to transfer most items to a computer and if that's what you want to do (with the noted exception) then you have to pay for it.
    Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How can I transfer photos from ipad 1 to pc

    I have an ipad 1 - ios 5.1.1
    I want to transfer the photos on the ipad to a windows 8 pc.
    Should be a really simple operation - yes? wrong.
    After visiting 30+ webpages, downloading various 3rd party software (and deleting them again) - I am still unable to transfer photos from my ipad to a windows pc.
    I connect the ipad 1 to a pc using cable.
    PC shows ipad.
    Then you get the option to import photos (Which 20+ websites just repeat).
    Contained in the DCIM Folder is 2 thumbnail photos. Yes - just 2. Two.
    Stored on the ipad is nearly 3,000 photo's. NOT 2!
    So how do you move photos from an ipad to PC?
    Next problem.
    Someone recommended using Syncios - wonderful.
    All photos found.
    All photos copied - except they are copied as thumbnails.
    It would seem that ipad stores your photos as a thumbnail - but when you email the photo the true size is sent. (Thumbnail is 11kb - when I attach the same photo to an email it shows it as 1.1mb)
    So - apart from creating and sending 3000 emails - so that I can transfer photos at their original resolution - HOW DO YOU TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM IPAD 1 TO A PC.
    Apple really couldn't have made a 30second operation more difficult - or deliberately impossible.
    There is NO option to do this via iTunes.
    I can transfer photos from a PC to iPad using iTunes - but not the other way around.
    So - please - does anyone have a degree in astro-physics that can explain how a person is supposed to transfer full sized photos, that are stored as thumbnails - from an iPAD 1 to a Win 8 pc?
    ps... and yes I am irritated. This has taken me 2 days so far, and still unable.
    pps... and no, I really don't need people posting - oh yes I have the same problem... I need answers.

    HHow did the photos get on your iPad? since the original iPad does not have a camera, the photos were either received in emails, copied from the web or synced from your computer. If they were copied from emails or the web they should be available to copy off the iPad using whatever Camera or image capture application you have on your computer. Connect your iPad, start the application and transfer the photos.
    if the photos were synced from your computer, they should still be on the computer used to sync from.

    how do I transfer photos from iPad 2 to a flash drive?

    You don't.  There is the Camera Connection Kit, which let's you download pictures to your iPad via SD card, but the reverse is not a standard feature of iPad.  The best method would be to connect your iPad to your computer and transfer the pictures to your computer via iTunes.

    Hi Dennis,
    If you want to share iTunes purchases between multiple accounts in the same family you could use Family Sharing.

  • How do I transfer photos from Ipad to computer?

    How do I transfer photos from iPad to computer?

    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you ten copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPad to ipad2.

    How do I transfer photos from iPad to ipad2?

    With your computer.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPad via the iTunes sync process should remain on your computer. You transfer these photos to your iPad 2 in the same way - via the iTunes sync process which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPad 2 sync preferences with iTunes.
    For any photos on your iPad that were saved from a received email or from a website or that were imported from a digital camera with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, these photos can be imported from your iPad by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Import these photos from your iPad with your computer, and then transfer the photos from your computer to your iPad 2 via the iTunes sync process.

    How do I transfer content from a windows phone to an iphone?

    Hi Julian,
    Sorry for the delay in response, I didn't think many answers would come in so quickly being Christmas and all...
    My Dad only needs to be able to access files for reference; any editing or alteration to pre-existing files would largely be done on a desktop or his laptop. In the meantime, Dropbox does look ideal and I will investigate along with the other great ideas suggested on here for the best option.
    Thanks very much...
