HT1386 How do I sync all my apps to my new Ipad mini and not my music?*

I have just bought an Ipad mini. I already have an ipod touch. I wish to keep my ipod for music, and the mini for apps, mail, safari etc etc iefor everything but my music. How can I sync my mini without syncing my music. Even if I wanted to my 16gig mini will not take the 30 odd gigs worth of music I have on itunes. So want to avoid an issue before it happens- which would happen with auto sync. Help please. I am a relatively new (baby boomer!) apple convert, so please be gentle wtih your answers......ie simple text!  

Just check/unchedk the boxes so that Music is not synced.  See step 3 below and uncheck the Sync Music box.

  • HT204053 How do I delete all my email addresses on my IPad mini and start to use iCloud as my only email address?

    How do delete all my email addresses such as hotmail,outlook and use iCloud address as new email and install on my Pad?

    First, have you considered the case where new emails are sent to you at the addresses whose accounts you want to remove from the mail client?  By removing the accounts, you will accumulate emails but will never see them - is that okay?
    Settings>Mail,Contacts<Calendars, in the Accounts section, tap an account, like hotmail, and on the new screen, tap Delete Account.
    In the Accounts section, tap Add Account... to add the icloud email account.

    My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.

    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

    Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

    I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

    I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
    And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

  • TS3988 How can I sync photos from my Iphone5 to my Ipad Mini???  Thanks!

    How can I sync phots from my Iphone5 to my Ipad Mini?? Thank you!

    Sign into the same iCloud account on both devices in Settings>iCloud and turn on photo stream.  After that new photos added to camera roll on either device will be added to photo stream when the camera app is closed, it's connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining.
    If you want to stream older photos from your phone to your iPad Mini, add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

    Did you move to iOS 8 via iTunes?  Your photos should all be on your iPhone 5s without any issues even if you updated via WiFi.  The update should have no impact on your photos other than to have moved any photos in your former Camera Roll to your Photos.  When opening the Photo App you should see Photos and Albums available at the bottom of the screen.  You can also look at Settings>General>About and looking down the list your should see the word Photos and a Count at the right.  This count should represent all of the photos in your iPhone.

    How can I delete a bad app completely from my iPad mini in order to re-download it as though I never had it?

    Yes, it will now always show that you purchased it, but with it deleted from ipad, when yu click the icon to download again, it will download the latest versioon available from the app store.
    You cannot delete what is in the app store. nor can you erase your previous history of purchasing the app.

    I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

    The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
    To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes.  You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
    If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top.  On the Summary tab, click Check for Update.  You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
    After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from.  Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

    I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad.  Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room.  Now trying to get some pictures and music on.  Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway.  Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"  So I hit cancel.  Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.
