How to transfer selected apps and movies to new iPad?
I just received my iPad 3, and I would like to transfer some, but not all, of my apps and videos from my iPad 1.
I'm pretty confused as to the meaning of the Apps tab in iTunes. There is a list of apps to the left. Is this a list of all the apps that are "stored" in iTunes, whether or not they are on my iPad (or iPhone)? As far as I can tell, all those that are checked are also on my iPad. But there are some that are unchecked that are on my iPad.
Then there are "screenshots" of the pages of an iPad to the right. Generally, the layout of the apps on these screens match those on my iPad, but there is one app on the screenshot that's not on my iPad.
If I were to plug my new iPad in now and restore from this backup, what apps would move to the new iPad? How can I control those? Basically I would like to delete a lot of unsued apps from my iPad without losing them forever.
Same kinds of questions with videos.
The apps that have checkmarks next to the names are the apps that are selected to sync.
Those screenshots that you see are all of the home screens on the iPad and why you see an app on the screenshot that is not on the iPad does not make sense. If you see it on one of those screenshots - it should be on the iPad.
Anyway - simply select all of the items that you want to sync to the new iPad. Click on the boxes next to the names to select them. Deselect apps the same way - click on the boxes to remove the checkmarks.
You can pick and choose all of the content in each tab in iTunes - apps, music, photos. books - whatever - you can control what it syncs by selecting and selecting. Videos included. All of these apps that have checkmarks next the boxes will sync to my iPad.
This is how you select the movies that you want to sync.
All of the content that is checked in iTunes is what would sync - but that is not what would be restored from the backup. The backup contains all of your app data and app settings, the device settings, safari history and bookmarks, contacts, calendar entries, camera roll - and so on. The backup does not contain your media - you still have to sync that from iTunes.

How to transfer iPhone contacts and calendar into new iPad 2?
Hi
I have owned my 3Gs phone for about a year. I have manually entered contact and calendar data into it.
I do not sync with outlook, gmail or other services. I have contacts on those services, but I do not want to merge everything together. Now I have a new iPad, and I need to get my contacts and calendar duplicated into my iPad.
I don't want to get a MobileMe account.
I have googled around and found some solutions, but I have not been able to get any to work. I have successfully installed a subset of my iPhone apps on the iPad using iTunes.
So, how do I do this?
I have tried the various settings on the INFO tab when my iPhone/iPad is connected to the computer (windows), but can't seem to find any settings that allow transfer between devices.
If I make a change on one device, how do I get it to the other device?
I wish I could see the contacts and appointments like I do the apps and media for selection and transfer.
There must be a way, how?
Thanks
RandyIt is easy to move the phone stuff to the iPad. Just restore the iPad for the backup of the iPhone. However, I know of no way to keep them in sync between the iPhone and the iPad in the future since you do not want to use/purchase MobileMe or sync with another program like Outlook or Google stuff.

My Iphone 3G shows up as an Ipod after I used the restore feature on iTunes to transfer my apps and info from my old iTouch 2G. As a result I can't go to "ringtones" because it does not show up in itunes as it still thinks I am connecting the iTouch?
You also want to move/copy the iPod backup file from the old computer to the new on. It is located:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
After you move your music and other stuff to the new computer, restore you iPod from backup and sync. -
I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.
1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again -
