How to switch apple id on ipad without losing data and info

i gave my dad a ipad for christmas, i set it up under my account( the mistake) so how do i switch everything to his apple id without losing everything ie songs, movies, game stats?

You can sign out and then into his Apple ID without losing data, but the iTunes Store content will remain associated with yours. Changing that requires deleting and redownloading it, which will erase application data when done on an iOS device.

If I activated my iphone 4 using my ex boyfriends itunes and apple ID, and since changed my apple ID, how do I connect to my itunes on my laptop without losing all of my data? it wont connect to the new library!

Back in October my boyfriend and I had gotten iphone 4's together. I was on his plan so I just activated my phone on his itunes and used his appleID. Since then we had broken up and I had gotten a new apple ID and everything worked fine. Until now I have had no need to use Itunes, but I just downloaded it on my moms laptop and tried to connect to it and it tells me I can only be connected to one library and if i want i cant disconnect from the old one and start with this one, but it will delete all my data and pics and videos......and im not happy at all. The whole icloud thing less than pleases me so that is not an option. Is there any way around this????? I will NOT have my phone earased and I cannot continue to use his laptop for itunes. Pretty dumb mac, if ya ask me.

You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

How do I move just my movies folder (not the entire iTunes library) to an external hard drive and still be able to watch movies?

My movies library is getting frighteningly large, and I want to move it (not the entire library) to an external HD, and still be able to watch the movies (when the HD is connectec). How would I do that?

It's not a feature of iTunes but can be done using various work-arounds.

How do I open files from an old version of iPhoto in Photoshop Elements 10 without losing date taken, camera settings etc?

I replaced my old iMac (Tiger) and saved the library from iPhoto. I installed all the old pictures in iPhoto on the new iMac (Mt..Lion). I received the new Photoshop Elements 10 for Christmas, installed it, and imported the iPhoto ligrary into PSE Organizer. All my pictures are now in iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer. The file info is available in iPhoto but all PSE 10 shows is the file size and date the pictures were transferred in. Even worse, when I try to open a picture from iPhoto library in PSE 10 Editor I get a message saying PSE 10 "does not recognize this type file".

There are links to the right of your question. If they do not help you will have to ask in the iPhoto forum.

How best to add music to new iTunes library on external hard drive?

I just created a new iTunes library on my external hard drive and would like to add songs that I already have stored in a folder on the external hard drive. Should I simply select all of the songs and drag them over the iTunes library folder or drag them into a specific part of the library folder? Or, should I open the new iTunes library and use the import function? I do not want to get the two libraries (powerbook and external hard drive) intermingled.
Also, should I "keep iTunes library organized" turned on?
Many thanks!

You could leave keep library orginised selected - all it does is rename and reorganize files in your music directory to artist-album-track#-songname format.
Since you want to do this, and still keep your libraries separate, here is one option.
Change the itunes music library to a directory on your external disk.
Then anything new you add will go into the library on the external disk.
When you want to add something to your laptop disk, just change the
music library location back to where it was.
iTunes can be a little confusing. There is the itunes "library" file, which is actually more like a catalog file. Then there is the itunes "music library"
which is where itunes puts music if you have "copy to library" selected.

If you restore you will have to restore to latest Apple's software, that frankly *****. I did it and I completely regret. On iOS 6.1.5 NOTHING works.

Please help - how do I import music from my ipod into a new itunes library?

Hello
I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get the music from my old ipod mini into the new itunes library on my new laptop.
The mini was previously sync'd with my old PC which died so my files are only present on the ipod. Upon loading itunes, the software is only letting my sync the ipod providing I wipe it (obviously not desirable...)
Thanks for any support, Andy

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" as you already know will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.
