How do i sync my ipad for the 1st time with my nw laptop and no delete the library on it

You would need to copy the iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one. Otherwise, see: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store. For anything you cannot redownload freely you will need a third-party utility to transfer from the iPad to the computer such as: Phone to PC.

  • Help??? how can i sync my iphone 3g and not delete my calendar?

    how can I sync my iphone 3g, without deleting my calendar?  When I've synced in the past, I lost all my latest calendar entries, so I've delayed syncing my phone, because I don't want to lost my latest entries?  Please help?

    If i cancel the "sync", I won't have any of my applications update though, will I?  I want my applications to update, I just don't want to lose the appointments and dates that I have scheduled in my calendar.  Any ideas?

    I have a new Laptop, how can I sync my IPOD music ,photo libary and Apps to the new computor without losing anything? My old laptop is kaput.

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.

    My laptop crashed completely and I need to authorize a new laptop to enable it sync with itunes. I have 5 computers authorized so I am unable to add another one so I need to unauthorize the bad laptop that is no longer working. How do I authorize new Laptop?

    You can only deauthorize everything to do that. Click on Account under Quick Links. You can deauthorize all five there. But you can only do this once a year.

  • I have a Ipad2, my computer that contains all of my apps, music etc crashed and dosent work. I bought a new laptop, how do I retrieve that iTunes account and or apps, movies etc.

    I have a Ipad2, my computer that contains all of my apps, music etc crashed and dosent work. I bought a new laptop, how do I retrieve that iTunes account and or apps, movies etc.

    With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password.  Read the following link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer.  The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

  • I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled my to reload the rack which is complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version. Thanks S

    I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled me to reload the rack which is now complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version.  Can anyone out there help?
    Thanks S

    Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I've un-checked the track and re-synced the Ipad as suggested, but then re-checking and re-syncing han no effect. The track is still missing the final minute and a half or so. I've tried it twice, but the effect is the same.
    Any other ideas? Would un-checking the entire music collection and staring again work, or is that a road to disaster?

  • I bought a new laptop how do I sync my ipad and get all the files synced to my old laptop

    I bought a new laptop. Can I sync my ipad to it?  And how do I get all the files that were synced to my old laptop?

    Do you still have your old computer with your media (music, films, etc) on it so that you can copy them over from it ? If you do then there are a number of methods on this page for how you could copy it over from it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If not, and if you don't have your content elsewhere (e.g. music that wasn't bought from iTunes), then there are some programs listed half-way down this page for how to copy content back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For iTunes downloads you should be able to copy them from your iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
    Also see this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    If you want to copy files/documents from the iPad then how you do so depends upon what app that they are in and what the app supports e.g. file sharing on the Apps tab in iTunes, transfer via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc

  • New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

    I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hello,
    and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
    Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
    Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

  • I have  new computer, how do I transfer my old library over , thought Homesharing would work but I cant figure out how to transfer. Thanks

    I have a new laptop and have installed iTunes. How do I transfer my library from my old computer over?  I thought Homesharing would do it but I cant figure it out. I got to the point of it showing that I have homesharing on each computer but how do I download the old into the new?  Thanks

    I tried this with apps and it worked flawlessly!!
    You can do the same with music, playlists etc
    I did it on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
    You should have same Itunes version on both systems!!
    Here are the methods to follow:
    Just for safety, on your new PC go to Edit > Preferences > Devices - and check "Prevent Ipods, Iphones and Ipad from syncing automatically.
    From your old computer,
    1) Open itunes
    2) Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
    3) here you may see a location under heading "itunes media folder location"
    4) Go to that location and open "mobile applications" folder. Copy the entire files/apps inside it and paste it to any removable device supporting the size.
    On your new computer:
    a) Repeat steps 1 to 3.
    b) Go to the location you have found in your new computer. You'll find same folders. Now, copy apps/files from your removable device to "Automatically Add to Itunes folder" DO NOT COPY it in Mobile applications folder because it won't sync that way!
    This completely restored all my apps that I had to transfer from my PC to laptop!! You can try to do same with music... This should work!
    HOPE THIS HELPS!

  • Nano 4th gen library was greyed out. Tried to access on new laptop. Got pop upasking permission to get access. Deleted library. How Can I retrieve or reverse?

    Have a 4th gen, Nano. Original iTunes library was on old computer that no longer works. Was able to access iTunes on new laptop but songs were greyed out tried to get them released w/o success. Got a pop up message requesting permission to allow access for new computer. Entire library vanished and cannot seem to retrieve. Is there any way to retrieve the library? HELP!

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • I am using Itune at my office laptop and also home laptop. whenever i am Syncing i am losing apps, picture, songs synced from other laptop. how can i sync with both laptop

    Hi, I am using iphone 4s. i am using itune at my office laptop & home laptop, whenever i am using itune all data get lost from phone. is there any way i can use both i tune without loosing data?
    thanks

    Sync ith only one computer. When you sync with the second anything acquired from the first computer will be erased. Syncing back with the first computer will erase everything synced from the second computer.
    Put all your stuff on one of the computers and sync with only that one.

  • How do I sync my old ipod and save my ipad songs which are different?

    Like a lot of folks, I have 4 devices that I sync with Itunes.  I have diffent songs on my ipod than on my ipad (or shuffle for that matter) and I do not want to sync the songs that are in the itunes library when it pops up (they are the songs on my ipad) but want to transfer and sync the songs currently on  my ipod to the library (without erasing the others of course)
    When I tried to do this, I got the message to either "erase and sync"  which would have erased the songs on my ipod and transferred the songs in the library to the ipod, which I didn't want to do.  I forgot what the other option was but it was not the correct one either.
    Bottom line:  I need to know how to sync multiple devices and each keep their own unique specific library of songs and videos.
    Thank you very much,
    Ben McCurdy

    forgot to tell everyone I have a new laptop computer I am trying to sync to.

  • Imac is 4 months old.  Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone.  How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

    This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me.  I am new to the apple world.  Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook.  Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
    The question is:  how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac?  Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine?  I appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

    Copy the music library from your old computer or the backup of your old computer to the new computer.
