Hello Chisels,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you want to get content from your iPad to you iMac, there are a few things to try.
First check to the iPad to see if it is syncing with iCloud. To do this, go to Calendar app and click the Calendars button in the upper left hand corner. If it says iCloud, then all you need is to enable iCloud on your iMac if you are running 10.7 Lion or later. That preferences is System Preferences > iCloud, if you are
If on the iPad it says “On my iPad”, the following steps will guide you to get it back your iMac.
First, in iTunes, go to the preferences by clicking in the drop down menu iTunes  > Preferences… Go to the device tab and make sure to check the box that says Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from Syncing automatically.
Then follow the steps in the following articles to make a backup and the sync the data.

    That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
    It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

    While I don't use a Mac, I belive you connect the device to the computer via USB and then import the file using a file utility similar to what you do when you import digital pictures. I'm guessing that the Mac has something like this?

  • My daughters ipod touch face time worked fine until she upgraded to ios5 what has happened and can we go back to ios4?

    Hi my daughters ipod touch was working fine while using ios4 but since she has downloaded ios5 she cannot use facetime. we have tried using backup etc but still not working, any advice please?

    First and foremost, you are now a risk to Verizon due to having to make payment arrangements, thus their reasoning for not being able to bill the upgrade fees.
    That said, I had the same exact problem as far ordering online and processing. I initially ordered online and my order was 'stuck' and 'had to be escalated' to be canceled. This actually happened twice within a week. When you call and order over the phone, as it is in retail, the prices differ and they wouldn't match it, although it's their own issue. You'll have a hard time getting any retail store to agree on giving up their stock for an online order, although when ordering, you're given the option.
    Now, to the next point, there is no point in looking elsewhere for service. You'll run into an issue with any major carrier as they all operate virtually the same. Your best bet is a local carrier, if they service your area.

  • Now all of a sudden, most of my music will not play "because the original file could not be found" for no apparent reason, and I can't get it back. Thanks a ******* LOT, iTunes!! Now I can't even listen to over $1,000 of my songs because of

    FU

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • Everything in my Mac Mail has disappeared, all the accounts and therefore all of my mail, as if I had never set up any accounts. Please help, any ideas as to what has happened and how I might get them back ?

    Opened Mac mail this morning and it is completely empty, all my mail accounts (and therefore mail) are gone. Please, does anybody have any suggestions? Have no idea what to do......... Yosemite 10.10.2. Thank you

      I just found this discussion and restored 2 files from Time Machine - it worked.    Power loss, Mail accounts gone, "Welcome to Mail" splash screen

  • I have just updated my Ipod to version 6 but my ipod now states ios6 on the front of it and has all different languages on the slide button. what has happened and how do i put it right?

    I have just updated ny ipod tough to version 6 and now it states ios6 on the front screen and where it says slide to input security no it is in all different languages.  What do i need to do to sort?

    Fire97 is corret. It appear that you have to resetup/activate the iPod. Just slide to unlock and following the on-screen prompts.

  • After the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 upgrade my system is VERY slow, online connection down miserably. WHat has happened and how do I go back to 10.8.1?

    Upgraded my Macbook Pro tonight to 10.8.2....horrible move, internet connection is now a slow crawl. Was very fast before upgrade. IF no known fix how do I go back to 10.8.1?

    I had the same problem.  My solution was to reset the SMC on my 2010 Macbook Pro and now my internet speed is back to normal.
    To reset the SMC, shut down the computer completely.  Then hold SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION on the left hand side of the keyboard AND the Power key for at least 2 seconds.  Release all the keys, then repower the laptop normally using the power key. 
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1338 my macbook air continuously turns itself off and on again for no apparent reason- despite having full battery... What is wrong with it?

    As of recently my macbook air continuously turns on and off.
    Sometimes it does not turn on at all.  When it does turn on, after a few minutes it comes up with the shut down options and unless I press cancel it turns off.  Occasionally when turning on it only gets as far as the startup sound then turns off again- occasionally in a continuous loop.
    Any ideas?
    HELP!

    I think you might get a new phone instead of repairing it as it takes time and you said the repairing center is far from your living place

  • Since updating every time I click on something another window intrudes and I can no longer log in to secure (bank etc) sites. What's happened and how do I sort it ou? It's become unusable

    Since updating Firefox every time I click on something another site (v. dodgy looking) opens and I can no longer log in to secure (bank etc.) sites, what has happened and how do I cure it? It's reached the point where I no longer use Firefox.

    Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet.  I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him.  I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack.  I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems)  but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update.  I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition,  because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm.  Verizon has cut this off.  Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years.  Im hoping for a response this time.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
