How do I view content of iPad backup in iTunes like photographs

I am very new to this. I do not use iTunes for music or movie content. I have downloaded it to my Windows based laptop to sync content from my iPad mini. Specifically I do not want to lose iMessages and of course, Photographs. My question is how can I find and transfer the pictures from my iPad camera roll in iTunes and store them in a folder in My Pictures on my laptop? iTunes does not seem very intuitive to me. When I was in the Optus shop recently the guy showed me his iTunes on his computer and he had lots of different folders, some had his photos in, I have synced but cannot see how to get to the folders to check if my photos are all there OK. Can someone please help? Please use simple English I am reasonably tech savvy but I am not of the tech savvy generation. (A baby boomer lol) Thanks much.

You should really extract your photos from the Camera Roll using Windows Explorer, or set up Photo Stream so they are copied to your computer automatically. There are third party tools that allow access to the contents of iOS device backup sets. This is just one of them: http://www.imactools.com/iphonebackupviewer/ I haven't personally tested it. There are Mac & Windows versions despite the url.

  • How can I view my purchase history of mt iTunes Store on the iPad or iPhone 5??

    How do I view my purchase history of my iTunes Store on the iPad or iPhone 5??

    Stupid apple won't let you. You have to use a personal computer. I have a windows PC. How dumb is it of apple to make me have to go to PC. I ain't buying a Mac just to see my balance. This is why I use, iPad and android phone. When I buy in android everything is transparent, and if I buy a deal and don't use it, they credit you back no questions asked.
    Wait till Samsung and Amazon start making fun of iTunes Store along with Apple TV. Such promising technology but is managed by dictators.

  • How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD?

    How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD? I want to continue to back up my devices including those of my wife while travelling without using the cloud and not returing home for several weeks.
    Any ideas or solutions?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
    Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried.

    I have iTunes on my iPad. I have a new iPod nano. How do I connect iPod to iPad to download iTunes and music library?

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

    and this article explains syncing to the iPod.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    You can't even view an Apple iBook on a Mac, much less a PC!  They are only for use on Apple iOS devices.
    Most people would be much better off buying electronic books from the Amazon Kindle store.  Through the use of the Kindle apps, Kindle books can be read on iOS devices,  Kindle readers, computers, etc.  They are much more useful than Apple's iBooks.

  • How do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

    how do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

    You can authorise up to 5 computers via iTunes by signing in with your ID.
    On iPads you enter your iTunes/AppStore store ID in Settings if it's not configured or different to your iCloud ID (if you have one).  These do not count as computer authorisations.

    I am trying to save/back-up the data on my phone (pics, contacts, etc) before I get a new phone. I was told at the store that they can only transfer my contacts to my new phone. I do not want to lose all of the other data on my phone.

  • How can I view content that I've archived on the iPad Adobe Content Viewer?

    Sorry, I'm new to the DPS process. I tapped "Archive" in the Adobe Content Viewer thinking that I would be able to retrieve it from the archive. I haven't been able to find that capability yet! I've tried renaming the document in InDesign and updating, thinking the project would appear in the content viewer. Again, no dice. I even deleted the content viewer from the iPad and reinstalled. Logged out, logged in. No dice. I cannot seem to have any luck seeing my project again. It was displaying just fine earlier today. Damn curiosity! Why did I tap on the archive button? Any help would be much appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Dave

    I guess what I was asking is when you tap Archive in the Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad there is a pop-up that says "Are you sure you want to Archive?" and "This item will be removed from your device. You may download it again at anytime for free." But there is no option to do this within the iPad app! At least none that I can see.
    I ended up creating a new folio with the same articles. It works now, but the archive function is not intuitive! It should work the same as when you archive magazines in the Newstand app. I mean, that's how people expect it to work. I guess in Adobe speak archive = delete!
    Anyway, if you archive something it removes it from the app and you will not see a download button.
    Thanks!

  • How to restore new ipad air from old ipad backup using itunes.

    I'm trying to get all of the content from an old iPad onto new iPad air. I backed up the old iPad on iTunes, and when I plug in the new iPad air, it prompted that I must first update the software in order to back it up. I updated the software, but now I'm not sure how to get the old iPad backup onto the new iPad because it isn't seeing the new iPad as brand new anymore. How to I transfer the old stuff onto the new one after updating the software? I'm using iTunes for Windows.

    Hey jh232808,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to restore a backup to a new iOS device. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    Restore using iTunes
    Use these steps if you have a new iOS device, or you need to to restore after a factory reset: 
    Connect your device to the computer that has your backup.
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    You won't be able to install a backup that uses a later version of iOS than the device you're trying to install it on. Find out why.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,
    Mario

  • How can I retain two versions of my iPad backup in iTunes?

    HI,
    When I backup my iPad on iTunes, the previous backup is automatically deleted and a new back is created.
    How can I retain two versions of my iPad bacup in iTunes?
    Thanks, Ramani

    Backup the device. Immediately restore the backup. The restored backup is now archived and a new rolling backup set is created. You can repeat as needed and clear older backups from Edit > Preferences > Devices.
