HT4137 I was told to restore my iPad but not from a back up. If I do this, will I lose all of the apps, songs, pictures etc that I have saved in my iTunes?

I have just backed up my ipad. I want to make sure that iTunes will not reset, if I chose to set the iPad up as a new iPad. I do want to eventually put everything back onto my ipad.

Pictures are not saved in iTunes. All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer.
Photos/videos captured by the iPad or saved on the iPad from a received email, from an iMessage, from a website, or imported from a digital camera or from an iPhone with the Camera Connection Kit can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before restoring the iPad.
All iTunes content on your iPad - music, movies, tv shows, tones, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer.

As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Will I lose all of my apps if i reset my ipad in order to fix blurry photos on ipad??

some photos in my ipad are blurry! will i lose all of my apps if l reset my ipad?

When you perform the restore make sure you back up the iPad (itunes will prompt you when you restore), that way it will keep all of the data, if you are restoring on a computer that is not the original one you synced to ensure you right click the ipad in the devices menu on the left in itunes and 'transfer purchases'.
You can ALWAYS re-download app for free using your apple ID that you purchased them with so its not the biggest issue if you lose them.
Hope this helps!

ICloud Photo Library: How do I transfer photos and videos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone?

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.

iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts. His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine. I haven't received mail since Saturday and as we use the email for business I desperately need it.

I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts. His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine. I haven't received mail since Saturday. We use the email for business I desperately need it and I don't have a laptop anymore as it is broken. In my wisdom I desired to buy an ipad instead, what a mistake.

The iPad will support multiple Gmail accounts, but of course you have to set each one up individually. Did you set up both accounts? Go into Settings/ Mail, Contacts, Calendars to confirm both accounts exist. If they do, also familiarize yourself on how to navigate between accounts to make sure you can view your Inbox. You may also want to check your settings to make sure that you have the default account set up as you expect for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Notes (if you're using all those features). That is important only when initiating something new, you have to have a default account to do such a thing so make sure the default is your account since it is your iPad (assuming that's what you want).
Alternatively, install the free Gmail app and then use only his (or your) account with that app and use the standard iOS Mail app for the other account.

The computer I use for Itunes only has XP so I can't use ICloud. My desktop has Vista so I can use it. But I don't want to lose all of what I have on my Iphone 4S and my two Ipads. How can I use the desktop and retain the apps, music, podcasts etc. I have

The computer I use for Itunes (my laptop) only has XP so I can't use ICloud:(
I have a desktop that operates using with Vista.
I downloaded 10.5 and sought to sync my two iphones and two ipads with the desktop in order to use ICloud. However I got warning messages that if I synced with this computer that had none of my extensive library of apps, music, podcasts, etc. would be on it, I would lose it all.
I did authorize the computer. I knew enough to do that but am terrified that I will lose everything that I have accumulated and still won't be able to use ICloud.
Isn't there a way to do this? Shift my library FROM my devices to the desktop?
Thanks

This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

My iphone4 is connected to my PC and the display is showing iTunes and connect lead, note, it failed to download IOS update. I'm being asked to restore factory settings on ITunes, if I do this will I lose all my photos, contacts, messages,

I have an iPhone4 and after being connected to my PC iTunes failed to update the IOS software. The phone display now shows the iTunes symbol and asking me to connect the lead. If I do so, iTunes detects phone in recovery mode and asks me to restore before I can use iTunes. If I select it, will it delete all my photos, videos, contacts and messages? Please note: I'm not an apple expert so would need help on this....
regards Haley Stone

Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

I can print wirelessly through devices - iphone, ipad, but not from my computer

I set my new printer up & it worked great. I had no trouble printing from anywhere at all. Now, I can use the printer from devices like my iPhone & my iPad, but I can't get it to print from a computer. It says it's on & ready, but when I try to print, I get an error. When I tried to scan it told me it wasn't communicating with the computer. Can't seem to find a solution. Please help! Thanks!

HI Garol,
Thank you for the update, I am glad you were able to print, although only printing 2-3 times before quitting is not a resolution. I think what we should do is an uninstall and reinstall of the software and drivers. Please follow the steps listed below in order:
1. Restore network defaults from the front panel of your printer
Setup Menu > Wireless Menu > Restore Network Defaults
2. You are going to do a Level 3 Uninstall- Please click on the link below and select Option 3
HP Software and Driver Removal Utility
3. You are now going to do a restart on your Router, Printer and Computer in this order please. Leave all products off for atleast 60 seconds and then turn them back on in the order you powered them off, router first, printer next and last your computer.
4. Now we will run the Wireless Setup Wizard from the front panel of your printer
Setup Menu > Wireless Menu > Wireless Setup Wizard
* Now that we have the printer successfully connected to your network we will go ahead and continue with step 5 (see below)
5. Now we will install the software and drivers for your Photosmart 7525. I would like you to download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. It was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.
Now you should be successfully installed and the HP shortcuts on your desktop should be working fine. Please let me know the result and if you require more assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,

Is there any way to use microsoft outlook 2010 on ipad? Or is there apple app or program that will copy over all of the existing structure, folders, etc... and sync?

I recently received a gift of a new ipad. Unfortunately I can't really switch from my Windows lap top until I figure out a way to use the ipad for my business emails which I use Outlook 2010 for. There are a singnificant amount of folders and history, with various attachments, that I have to have access to and I have been unable to find a way to move all of this over to the ipad. I use Yahoo mail for my primary mail server and can get the Yahoo mail on the ipad with no problem. But I do not have the full folder structure set up on Yahoo that I have on Outlook 2010 and to do so would be very time consuming...and I'm note even sure how I could move all the folders back to Yahoo and all the emails contained in them, many of which have been long deleted form Yahoo, back to Yahoo. Ideally I would just install Outlook 2010 on ipad and export all the files over. But there doesn't seem to be any Outlook 2010 program for ipad...if there is, please tell me about it. Otherwise, I need a relatively quick alternative that will not force me to recreate my entire Outlook 2010 folder structure and copy emails over folder by folder. If anyone has had the same issues, and was able to solve them, I would very much appreciate knowing how to do this. I like the ipad and want to use it for my main platform. Thanks

Iphoto imported photos from my ipad but not from the "photo stream"- why?

I'm trying to get all files off my brother's old ipad before restoring it. I imported photos onto my computer using iphoto, but it didn't import the photos in the "photostream" on the ipad- why not? I saw that iphoto will only import photos that were taken on the ipad but I'm pretty certain these were. Thank you.

Let me try and explain it this way.
Say I have taken ten pictures, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
These were imported to iPhoto and went into an event it created called June 2013 Photostream. They were all imported and showed up in order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Some of them I have now tagged faces in etc.
When I go back now and look in the June 2013 Photostream I only see 1,3,4,5,6,9,10
But if I look in the last 12 months album I still see 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in the right place and the right order
Pictures 5,6,7,8 all had my face tagged and when I look in my face album 5,6,7,8 all show in the right place in the right order.
I have got iPhoto to rebuild the library etc and they do not go back to showing in the Photostream import folder.
