    You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
    Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

  • My sister downloaded an album she bought on itunes on her ipad and it somehow synced to my iphone when I try to delete it it still shows up in my music library with the icloud symbol how do I delete the album???

    As long as you both share an iTunes account you cannot delete the album.  It is in your account and will show as available to download.  The cloud symbol simply is showing that the album is in your iTunes account and is available for you to download.  The album itself isn't on your phone though.

  • TS1702 I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also can't use iCloud with Pag

    I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also I can't use iCloud with Pages between the iPad and PC,  although I purchased extra storage in order to do this.

    If you have a PC, you don't have Pages on it. You can transfer Pages presentations to/from iCloud via http://www.icloud.com , however -- you just won't have an app on your PC to deal with Pages documents. Make sure that you have your iCloud account properly configured on your iPad.

  • I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

    I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air.  I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up.  (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions).  BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document).  So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer.  I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop.  I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
    How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)?  do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move?  Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
    Thank you in advance.

    Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
    Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
    Sorry, for the confusion.
    Removing documents from iCloud:
    iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
    You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

  • I have updated to lion. Set up an iCloud so contacts and calendar are shared between iMac iPhone 4s and iPad 1. But iTunes is telling me to update the software on the iPad and iPhone, but it just gets stuck contacting the software server. What should I do

    I have updated my iMac to lion so I can use iCloud to share contacts and calendar between iPhone 4s and iPads 1.  Somehow it seems to have worked although still not sure how to move stuff in and out of iCloud.  iTunes is telling me to update the software on the phone and iPad. When I try to do this it just gets stuck with a box saying connecting to software update server. This has never happened before.  I cannot update or restore either the phone or the iPad in iTunes although I have synced the info.  What should I do?

    Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
    There is nothing wrong with the update.
    Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

  • I have inherited my partners old iPhone and iPad. I have successfully opened an iTunes a/c for myself on the iPad and I phone, but I cannot get change the identities on iCloud, which are still in my partners name.

    I have inherited my partner's old iPhone and iPad. I have successfully created a new iTunes account and got my user name and passwords accepted on both devices. However, I don't know how to change the user details for iCloud on the iPhone. I have done it (I think!!) on the iPad but would appreciate any help for getting my details for iCloud onto the iPhone so I can start sharing photos between the two devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • TS4036 Why can I only see my iPad and not my iPhone backup on my new device?

    I am switching my white iPhone 4 to a black iPhone 4.  I have backed up the wht iP4 to the cloud and my blk iP4 only see's my iPad and not the wht iP4.  What am I missing?

    Make sure your black phone is using the same or higher version of iOS as your white one, and that it is signed into the same iCloud account.

  • I am trying to connect my iPad to my windows pc ( xp) but it does not recognise the iPad and I get a blue screen error causing the pc to shut down. Any ideas

    I am still not able to connect my iPad 2 to my Pc ( windows xp). When I try to do so I get a blue screen error and the computer shuts down. I have reinstalled iTunes. iPod works fine. Any ideas?

    Not sure, but try these.
    Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I have 2 apple id's and the ipad and mbp id's do not match for the app store.. How to fix?

    MBP(Snow Leopard) with apple ID 1
    iPad synch's MBP to ID 1 since purchase 14 months ago.
    Upgraded to IOS5 and now App store wants me to do iPad app update using Apple ID2
    Question:
    If I resynch the iPad with MBP(Snow Leopard) will things "reset" so I'm back to ID 1?
    I'm about to trigger the upgrade to Lion and am not sure if I have already migrated to iCloud. Would this fix things?
    In the end of the day I want to target everything on ID 1 as ID 2 is a .mac account that will go away next June.
    Thanks

    All purchases (and their updates) are forever tied to the ID used when they were bought.  You cannot erase an ID, you simply stop using it.    You will have to allow your son an exclusive account if he wants to use your computer.   Can you log in under your ID now ... or do you have to use his?    If the latter is the case, he has clearly changed your ID to one that is his.

  • So my iCloud account is on my phone and my old iPad. My ex has the iPad and even tho she says she turned it off, I know she didn't. I want my account to be my account only so what do you suggest I do?

    MMy ex has my old iPad and I don't want her knowing my business. My iCloud was on there and I know she didn't turn it off. Do I change my ID or just start a new one?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password (before she does). That will lock her out. Make it a strong password she can't guess.
    When you change the password please follow this procedure:
    1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.
    2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server). Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.
    3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.
    4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.
    5. I reiterate, before your start, turn off 'Find My...' or you will probably need the services of Support.

  • HT1386 Trying to such iTunes from my iPad to new iPhone? Instructions are to connect to computer? But just trying to get from iPad to iphone

    How do you sync iTunes from iPad to,iPhone5?

    You don't.
    You sync each devie to your computer not to each other.
    All of your music should be on your computer.  If it is not, then put it there.
    You can then sync it to whatever idevice you like.
