How to sync apps on iPad via Wifi from an iMac

Hello all,
I have been pulling my hair out for the past 2 hours trying to work out how to get the message back that appeared on my ipad saying 'new apps have been downloaded would you like to automatically download this in future' i opened the ipad and the message was gone.
I didn't even know I could transfer them wirelessly - I'm connected via bluetooth to my iMac and on the same Wifi
Does anyone have any ideas how I can sync my apps without connecting to itunes with the USB cable?
Thanks

There are a couple of iOS5 and iCloud features that are available as a public beta test. One is automatic download to all your devices at once. It's not a sync, but a simultaneous download. If you want all your devices to have the same purchases, you need to enable both your computer and your iDevices. This explains how: iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539

How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

When you plug in the iPad iTunes will want to restore it/wipe it, so if you do not have the apps in your iTunes then you can copy the apps from the iPad to iTunes when plugged in by right clicking the iPad and selecting "transfer purchased..." which copies the purchases into iTunes.
However as iTunes will only sync to 1 iTunes, it will then want to wipe your iPad, so you need to make sure you have everything in your iTunes that you want back on your iPad.
This is to stop people taking their iOS device to a friends and then taking their paid songs/video/apps.
If you still do not have all of the apps in iTunes, you can either download the Apps via the iTunes store or try and find an application that lets you sync from the computer to the iPad and via versa in place of iTunes.

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.
That should do it.

How to sync iphone 4 + ipad (1st gen) from old mac mini to new pc laptop

hey, ive been trying to find a solution to this problem but havent found a single result. the problem is that i know how to sync apps, videos etc. however i dont know how to transfer the app data, like progress in games, or application settings, and so on. is there any way to do this? thank you.

Firstly on the Mac, sync and backup both devices to
iTunes. Make sure everything is set up to sync all
the items you want.
Then follow this to process to move your iTunes
library to the PC:

all is working well.

How to sync apps with iTunes after restore from iCloud?

I just recently restored my iPod touch to 5.0.1. and I used my iCloud backup. While it worked for the most part, when it came to downloading the apps, I found it cumbersome. I would prefer that I just plug in my iPod to iTunes and let the apps install from the computer. It seemed to sync up, but all the apps on my device remained inactive and uninstalled. More specifically, they were still 'Waiting...'. Weirdly enough some of the apps even looked like they were downloaded partially but despite numerous attempts, they simply refused to install. I have restored my iPod again in frustration and before I restore yet again, I'd like to ask if there is a solution where I can restore my iPod from iCloud, keep the apps arranged but have them installed over iTunes the traditional way?

They both are.
Another question, right now I have 3 out of 5 computers authorized to use with my iTunes account. But what happens If they all break and I end up getting a 6th computer?

Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

Current setup
- Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
- iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
- iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined. I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues. I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday. Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help. Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help. Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help. I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way. When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird? Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF. DING, DING, that was it. Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday. Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps. Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"! I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc.
I hope this helps many of you save several hours. I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
3. Restart iTunes
4. Restart IPad
5. Connect IPad
6. Still I got the same error
7. Restart iTunes
8. Restart IPad
9. Connect IPad
10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.
System: IPad 1, IOS 5.x

I am using an apple TV to show a slide show which is sent via WiFi from a mini computer. The slide show repeats for a few hours and then stops and shows "no signal". What's going on- and how do I get the show to cycle indefinitely?

Also using iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit. Crashes in the "syncing apps" stage. Happens on two different user accounts, one using an iPod Touch and one using an iPhone 5.
Clean uninstall/reinstall doesn't make any difference. Safe mode doesn't make any difference (no plug-ins installed).
Stack trace shows an unknown routine in iTunesMobileDevice.dll calling Microsoft C++ runtime routine _wstat32i64 with a null name parameter. This is definitely an iTunes 11.4 bug.

*int _stat(name, buf) - get file status info
*Purpose:
*      _stat obtains information about the file and stores it in the
*      structure pointed to by buf.
*      Note: We cannot directly use the file time stamps returned in the
*      WIN32_FIND_DATA structure. The values are supposedly in system time
*      and system time is ambiguously defined (it is UTC for Windows NT, local
*      time for Win32S and probably local time for Win32C). Therefore, these
*      values must be converted to local time before than can be used.
*Entry:
*      _TSCHAR *name -    pathname of given file
*      struct _stat *buffer - pointer to buffer to store info in
*Exit:
*      fills in structure pointed to by buffer
*      returns 0 if successful
*      returns -1 and sets errno if unsuccessful

What is the Best Offline gps app for ipad 2 ( wifi ) ?

Hi
i just want to know what is the best offline gps app for ipad 2 wifi only ?
specially for ( Malaysia and UAE ) ? and thanks

I used my wifi only pad in Ireland and uk, and as pointed out, the wifi has no gps.
I bought a 'bad elf' external receiver. Worked fine, is small, and idiot proof.
Then you need a map set. There are a lot of choices, I ended up using' offmaps', and bought the 'unlimited, and it was fine.   No point to point directions, but you can find where you are trying to go and the maps themselves were accurate and up to date.   Note, that may vary as you get around the world.
The elf cost 100, and the unlimited maps was, I think, $5.00.
The option was to simply buy a local garmin or Tom Tom when you get there.   As a gizmo guy, I went the elf approach.
The only downside of the elf is that it is so small, it is easy to lose it in a pocket or backpack.

Can you send files via bluetooth from a imac to an ipad mini

Just purchased an ipad mini and was wanting to transfer some pictures via bluetooth from my Imac to my Ipad mini? Is this possible?
They are paired but when it goes to transfer files, it says connection lost. Is there another way of transfering files from the computer to the ipad mini?
Any help is much appreciated.

No, Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and heapphones : supported Bluetooth profiles.
You can sync photos to the iPad via your comptuer's iTunes. Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders/albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
There are also third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to copy photos to (and from) the iPad via your wifi network.
For documents you can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

How do I get the new photos albums from my imac to sync to my iphone?

Last week my iMac did the software update that replaced iPhoto on my iMac with the new Photos application.
Since then, I have migrated all my iphoto library to the Photos library and have been able to further sort my photos in the albums area.
I have backed up my iPhone 6, and then completed a sync so it would be updated accordingly with the photos app as opposed to the previous iPhoto app. In iTunes everything looks fine, in Photos everything looks fine, and there was a bit of a hiccup once or twice with trying to complete the sync process (although I imagine this was simply due to the mere nature of the number of images have to sync as I do photography and I model so over 32000 photos to sync). Finally I was able to complete the sync process, and all seemed fine.
I then went in to Photos app on the iPhone 6, and all the photos are there, all the albums are there, but all the albums are empty even though the photos are on the phone in the photos sections???
I would really like to know how to get the albums to sync properly to my iPhone 6 from an iMac, does anyone know what to do?
Also, my iPhone since then has been dropping battery life significantly and getting very warm over short periods of time, but I have had no applications open, the phone has not been in use at the time and has been locked screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Synced photos can only be deleted by syncing again with iTunes and deselecting all synced items.
