HT204089 I can't sync my laptop with my iPad via WiFi.

I can't sync my iPad Air with my laptop. It's the same laptop, but since my HD had a meltdown, I renamed it. So now, when I put in iTunes that I want to sync via Wifi, it says I can't because the iPad is able to sync with only one computer. It's the same computer! How do I 'delete' the 'old' computer (same computer, but different name) and add my 'new' computer.
Can somebody help? Thank you in advance.

Might be easier to post numbers so other people with exact same settings can compare directly.  Also helps to post screenshots before and after getting the error.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The app will find and wake the Apple TV when homesharing is properly configured. You will still need the Apple remote should you ever need to set up the Apple TV again though.

  • Ipod won't sync on laptop with "new" ipad

    My ipod with 5,000 music tracks has always been used to sync on my laptop.  I have just plugged into the same laptop my "new" ipad, this has synced.  On inserting my ipod; it asks if I'm sure I want to remove all data and sync with the itune library - what?

    Something happened and now the iPod things you are connecting to a different library/computer. See the following for making this "new" computer your syncing computer.

    If all the synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes library it is very easy.

  • Can I sync my iPhone with my MBP via BlueTooth?

    Hey All..
    I'd love to sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro via bluetooth but when I use the Bluetooth set-up assistant to add a device it doesn't even find my iPhone. I wondered if maybe it wasn't possible to link the two. Also...when I was in bluetooth and "browse device" my bluetooth kept quitting. Not sure if a)Bluetooth cant connect the phone yet b)my bluetooth on my MBP isn't functioning.
    If anyone who can help with suggestions it would be great..
    ~RICKY

    Transferring music, video and photos is slow to me with USB 2.0 instead of using Firewire, so it would be like watching paint try trying to transfer such data via Bluetooth file transfer.
    Not supported with the iPhone regardless.

  • How can I sync selected books to my ipad via the itunes interface?

    I have a lot of books and pdfs all neatly tagged in my itunes library, and I would like to be able to sync selected books to my ipad from the itunes 'books' library page. I cannot for the life of me find a way to do this!
    I realise you can choose to sync either 'all books' or 'selected books' from the 'Devices' > 'ipad' > 'books' tab option; however this is not really feasible as all you can do here is select  from the entire list of books (only options are to sort by title or author).
    It is obviously much easy to find the set of books I'm interested in using the itunes search, and sorting based on the various tags I have in the metadata. I would assume there must be a way to highlight the relevant books in this view, and 'send to ipad'? There is an option to put a check mark next to a book, but this deosen't seem to do anything at all.
    If anyone could help I would be grateful, the only other option I could think of would be to identify the relevant books in the itunes library view, write down thier titles, and then sift through the 'selected books' in my ipad 'books' tab and check them one by one!! Not fun
    Many thanks!

    Oh, how I wish that would work!
    I know the thread is over a year ago, but I came upon searching for a solution to the exact same problem.  iMaestro, you've described what's needed exactly--a way of checking all of them, and then deselecting a certain limited subset.
    Unfortunately, when you check Sync Books, All Books, the selection portion is then greyed out.  Maybe this problem was introduced with the latest iTunes version!
    I think I'll be stuck having to painstakingly check most of a set of books, rather than just uncheck the dozen or so that clutter up the list.
    Oh, related to that.  I'm assuming that there's a way of deleting the books entirely...  maybe that's another solution.

  • I cannot sync my laptop with the iPad after update.

    After updating my iPad I can no longer sync it with my computer. Before the update I could sync music pictures etc. my computer says the iPad has an invalid signature. Any suggestions on how I can fix this.

    I want to add that when I connect ipad with my laptop and launch iTunes my ipad doesn't appear in devices it's greyed out...again all this worked before update.

  • Can I replace my laptop with an iPad, and use it as my only computer?

    I know this sounds silly, but my husband, who lives in another state right now, would really like to have an iPad rather than his laptop. I know you're supposed to sync the iPad to a computer, but, realistically, how often would that have to be done? Could we get away with doing it every couple of months? Every 6 mos?

    The backup is an issue, but you can always mail your work to your self… but the mail server has to be configured the way that mails are not deleted.
    The more elegant way is "MobileMe", you can use it as a storage and save your work there.
    Keep in mind, the iPad is limited to what you can do with the Apps, so check first if there are some Apps for the work you need to do…
    enjoy your magic machine

  • How can my MacBookPro share documents with my iPad via iCloud?

    I've moved to iCloud, logged in, enabled all the various sharing options, and yet Keynote and Pages files stay resolutely on whichever device they were created on.  What am I missing?
    The various devices are on iOS5, OSX 10.7.2, Keynote 5.1, Pages 4.1. 
    And I'm running confused 1.0 and frustrated 2.1!
    Thanks all...

    There's no auto sync from a mac.  You have to use the iCloud/iWork web site to manually sync a file from a mac to iCloud.  It then is auto synced to your iDevices.
