How to save contacts from ipad to friend's computer without meshing contacts together

i am updating a friend's ipad so she can get the new 5 software. she has never synced her ipad to a computer before. i want to save her contacts on my computer, but i dont want them to mesh with mine. how do i need to save hers to my computer before updating? i already uploaded her apps to my computer to make sure they would be saved and they meshed in with mine. i also want to make sure if i hit "sync contacts" it doesnt delete hers and put mine on her ipad. thanks for any input!

I would research into different contact groups, put hers in one group, yours in another. I have 3 options on my iPad, to see all groups, all from my PC, all from iCloud...so they are meshed, but I can only see the group that I want.

    How to save photo from iPad to external memory card?

    It's very difficult.  I have read where some people have done this with much angst.  You can use the camera connection kit to load pictures to your iPad.  The reverse is not really supported.  A much simpler solution would be to email the photo to your home email account and then copy it to external memory.

    how do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all my apps that are on the ipad

    This should be a pretty good guide for setting up the iPad with a new computer and for keeping your content.
    Don't forget to authorize the new computer as well. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this Computer.

    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Make sure that you move your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one as well for all of your music.
    Here is an article that can help you with that.

  • Help transferring contacts from iPhone4 5.01 to Mac without duplicating contacts on either or both lists

    When I connect my iPhone running 5.01 to my mac vie iTunes, and transfer contacts, it always duplicates the contacts when synching.
    So if I have a single John Doe entry on both my iPhone and Mac, I now get two.
    Sometimes it will make 3 or 4 copies.
    I want to:
    copy my contact list from my iPhone TO my Mac, and update existing entries on my mac, and add new ones that are on my iPhone and not on the Mac, and
    transfer contacts from Mac to iPhone that are new to the iPhone
    Basically, I have to separate contact lists that I dont want to mix or mesh entirely, and I also want to stop them from duplicating.
    The User Manual does not address keeping them from duplicating.
    Thanks in advance

    Well, there appears to be NO way to get it to stop doing what its doing.
    I have one contact list on my iPhone.
    I have a different list on my MacBook pro.
    When I connect to update items on my phone via iTunes, I back up the iPhone.
    I did my update, and then restored from the backup. That brought back in my iPhone contact list.
    However, when I go to put my apps and music, books, etc back on my phone from iTunes on my Mac, I either have to bring my contact list off my mac over and it adds entries to the iphone contact list, or I choose not to sync contacts, and it erases them altogether.
    If someone has a suggestion how I can keep my original iPhone contact list on my iphone, without having itunes either wipe it or add unwanted entries from my macbook pro, I'd appreciate it!

  • How do I assign my ipad to a new computer without erasing/reformatting?

    Hi guys
    I recently had to reformat my computer and luckily I have a 1.5 TB external drive, so it was relatively painless and I didn't lose much. However, now when I plug in my iPad and iPhone, iTunes says that my devices are synced with another computer, and asks me to either erase and sync with this computer, or cancel.
    I'm still using the same computer I was always using, but since I reformatted, the iPhone and iPad don't recognize this computer and I would like to know how I reassign these devices to my computer without having to do a erase and sync? I've already transferred all of my purchases on both devices, so everything is backed up. Am I stuck with only the option of erase/sync on both devices? That would suck, I would lose all of my emails and everything else and all of my settings now that both of my devices are tailored to me.
    Is there a way to solve this? It kind of seems like they should have an easier way to do this without making it so painful. Hopefully someone understands what I'm asking here and I won't have to erase and sync both of my devices.
    Thanks a lot
    -Tim

    I sort of answered my own question I guess. I'm just posting this to give the information to anyone else who might be having the same problem.
    What I did:
    Plug your device into your  computer, and with iTunes plugged in right click and click "transfer purchases"
    Once that's done, right click and click back up (do this with "backup to my computer" checked under summary and also "backup to iCloud" should also be checked) so you've backed up the device two different times.
    So now all of your files and whatnot have all been transferred and backed up to your computer, so no worries about losing anything. Then you sync the device with iTunes and you should be all set. I no longer get any messages saying that my device is synced with another computer.
    Hopefully this helps someone who might be having a similar problem.

  • How do I move my iPad to a new computer without losing all my game settings?

    I installed a fresh Lion system on a new HD and moved all my data there, but my iPad (running ios5) is synced to iCloud.
    I'd now like to install some movies onto the iPad, so I apparently have to synch to iTunes to do this.
    But syncing to iTunes would seem to erase everything on my iPad and restore, and wouldn't all my game settings and levels be lost?
    Thanks for any help.

    How to get my contacts from ipad to iphone?  (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud, only from the ipad.)

    Well, if both your iPad and iPhone have ios 7 you could AirDrop the contacts. This may seem time consuming if have a lot of contacts as you have to select all the ones you want to transfer. But it is useful if you want transfer only specific contacts and not the whole contact list. Oh, and another thing: your iPad has to be a 4th generation or higher and your iPhone has to be 5th generation or higher.
