HT1296 I have just purchased the new iPad
I am trying to transfer all my contact details from my iPod Touch (2nd Generation) to my new iPad. Having looked at the iTunes help I am confused as to whether the contact sync will be from my computer or another device. I do not want to sync then find that my details have been wiped from my iPod Touch.
iCloud would have been a better option but my iPod is too old for this media. Any help would be appreciated.
The tedious but works way would be to mail your contacts from your touch to yourself, then open that mail on your iPad and save it.
Beyond that, sync your touch to your computer and if you look under the info tab you'll see the option to overwrite your contacts on your computer with those on your touch. If you do that, then you can hook up your iPad and sync and those contacts should be on your iPad.

I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit. I just want to be able insert my SD card into the Pad and view my photos, not import them.Can this be done and how? Please advise. Thank you.
See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit and want to be able to view my photos full screen and not import them. Can this be done and how? Please advise. Thank you.
When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location. -

Out of a silly curiosity, in what way did Ralph's reply solve your problem? (not that Ralph doesn't deserve recognition, mind you.)

I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?
All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II. I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered. I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem. Not sure what to do next.
It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.

I have recently purchased the new iPad. I can send and receive e-mails (iCloud) without a problem but the draft function does not seem to be working. Specifically, when you go back to work on a draft e-mail, it has not saved the changes you made previously. Kinda annoying! I think it must be a problem specific to my iPad as my iPhone does not have this problem. All suggestions as to solutions very welcome.
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

I have just purchased the new iMAC(21.5-inch Mid 2011) my ISP is Virgin Media wireless.....
My ISP is virgin media wireless (just purchased). My email account is AOL when I log into my email account the page is not the same as my on my old computer. Thinking it is because I do not have the latest version I downloaded the 9.0 version but when I try to open it for some reason mac enters the down load into an email. After much hair pulling I send it to my email account to open but am unable to open it any ideas please ?
Not possible via Apple's target display mode. This Apple article has the details:
Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
It is a Mac-to-Mac function.
You may be able to use a software solution. Won't be as fast but is doable:

i have just purchased my new ipad and I want to transfer my iPod library of music and videos to the iPad,how do I do this easily,seems to be a basic neccessity
Is your iPod synced with an iTunes library on your Mac or PC?
If so, is your iPad also synced to the same Mac/PC?
iTunes allows you to share music and videos between both your iPod and your iPad. -
I have just got a new Ipad and the computer is picking it up but nothing is coming up in Itunes
I have just bought The New Ipad and when I connect to my computer it is seen on the desktop but nothing comes up in Itunes- what should I do?
If you are using Windows, make sure you got iTune version 10.6.3
Sometimes you have to launch iTune manually. -
I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?
Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on). But getting the photos back from a backup is risky. Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned. icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album). You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

I have just purchased a new ipad2 to replace my old ipad. How do i sync all the data in my apps I am worried about losing my data?
iPad settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party party app along with app settings are included with the iPad's backup along with other data.
If you are syncing your iPad direct with iTunes on your computer via USB, the iPad's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPad or iOS device to iTunes that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new device. This is followed by a sync to transfer the same content from your computer that is on the old iPad to the new iPad such as music, movies, tv shows, 3rd party apps, photos, audio and print books, etc.
