HT1386 I accidentally synced my new iPad with an old iPod Touch Device, can I undo that? How?

I just got my iPad a half hour ago and by mistake instead of listing it as a new iPad I clicked sync with an old ipod touch. What do I do?!!?

If you want to start all over again - erase it - if that is what you are asking. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings.
If you have a backup of another iPad, restore from that backup and sync again with iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and select - Restore from backup. Select the iPad backup from the pop up window and then sync with iTunes after the iPad finishes restoring,

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?

Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 (or even an ipad 3 if it ever gets released !) with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?
Thanks

You will be able to restore from the backup of the old iPad and then sync all of the other content but you may need to update a bunch of apps in order for them to work with iOS 5 - but yes - you can use that backup.

I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 do

I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 everything went fine. I use itunes to BU my ipad & mini, and do not need family icloud. Is there any reason to stay signed in to icloud with my devices. Won't my ipad & mini sync contacts, calender etc. to each other with out icloud?
Thanks!

Thanks Winston. I asked because I can't get my Mini2 calender to sync with my ipad or outlook calender. Trying to eliminate what I don't need. I have everything set up properly AFAIK. Do I need something like a Exchange account to get the Mini calender to sync, or should it sync automatically.
Ipad has been upgraded to iso 8.1.2. and it sync's to outlooks calender and vice versa, just Mini2 calender won't sync.
thanks

HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

The problem I have atm is that i cannot sync the new Iphone with the old Iphones backup. My contacts were only sychronised between the Iphone and Itunes, but because of the different IMEI number i cannot get my contacts back...
Help!!

To Reply..
1) Tried with Alarm disabled.. Does not sync Contact
2) Tried syncing Contacts and Calendars bith again... Does not Sync .. shown unsucessful.
3) tried syncing calendar only.... Works fine..
4) Theres no conflict resolution poping up.
5) I have various clanders being shown on my Q -10.
I have disabled 'Home' calendar and Kept "BBLink' calendar ON (abled) as I was getting double entries after syncing with mycomputer.
Would this create any issues with the entiries/ changes that I make either on the Computer or my BB?
Thanks and Regards

TS2634 When will the Apple stores carry 30 pin dock extensions or cables so I can use my iPad with a recessed iPod dock? It's unfortunate that the device is rendered unusable.

How do I sync my new pictures taken on my iPod touch to my iTunes on my computer?

How do I sync my new pictures taken on my iPod touch to my iTunes on my computer?

Hello, friend. If you are Mac user, you can use iPhoto to import the camera pictures from iPod touch to iTunes. If you are Win user, you may try this iPod file manager, it can help you copy pictures and videos from iPod to computer, then you can drag and drop the files into iTunes.

What apps are compatible with on old iPod touch?

What apps are compatible with on old iPod touch? Running iOS 4

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

How can I recover texts & contacts on iPhone 5c after syncing it with an old iPod touch backup?

I used to have an old LG flip-phone and an iPod Touch. I lost the iPod Touch about six months ago. This week I got my iPhone. I had to go to the Verizon store to have them take all the contacts off the LG phone and put them onto my iPod.
I had painstakingly pared down my iTunes music library to choice selection of checked items that were small enough to fit on the iPod touch. I didn't want to go through that process again, so I hooked my iPhone up to my computer for the first time, opened iTunes, and synced with the iPod touch backup on my computer. It would have been smart to have backed up the iPhone first, but I didn't. Since I couldn't text with the iPod Touch, it didn't occur to me that the existing texts on my iPhone would be overwritten.
Now all the media files and apps from my old iPod Touch are on my new iPhone 5. The new iPhone apps I downloaded yesterday are on there, too. But the contacts and texts have vanished.
To review: no iTunes backup of iPhone data. No iCloud backup, either-- I've never used iCloud before.
I downloaded Wondershare's iPhone Data Recovery program and used it to scan data on the device. The scan shows 0 contacts and only the 2 text messages that I've received this evening. Curiously, it does have my entire call history from the last week.
So is there any way to recover the texts from this last week?
This seems pretty hopeless but I thought I'd try. Thank for your help.

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

New iPad restore from old ipod backup - Apps not transferring

Am trying to set up new iPad Air (on iOS 7) for son. He has an old iPod Touch running 6.1.5. I backed it up yesterday. I wanted to bring all data from that over to the new iPad. I obviously want this to happen so he will be able to pick up playing his games where he left off and not have to start all over again.So, have followed steps to restore from backup. But not one single app will transfer across.
I've tried twice, reset to factory the 2nd time and tried again but still not one app appears. I get a message saying
Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored.
but I can't believe that not one single app is compatible, he has loads of games on his old iPod!
Can anyone help me - need to get this sorted before the big day tomorrow!
Thanks

Kind of answering my own question here.... have just done a ton more research, and tucked away in a tutorial on how to do the transfer, I found someone had the same problem as me. This was his answer

So after much time with apple support…. You need to “transfer purchases” to your computer via iTunes before making the backup. And the iPads need different names or it may automatically back itself up, and that may end up being what you restore from (which of course would end up doing nothing).
In my case it seemed to be just transferring purchases from old iPod to iTunes see how to do it here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848http://
Go to 2nd para to transfer from device to iTunes.
Hope that will help someone frantically trying to do it before Christmas.
TIP do it soon as it is taking ages for the 83 apps he has to copy across...
