    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • How do I sync a new iPad that I've already started using, and don't want to lose the data?

    I have a new-ish iPad that I have started using without syncing to iTunes.
    I now need to sync iBooks, if that is possible, with my iPhone. I gather that the best way to do this is to link the iPad and iPhone up with iTunes.
    When I plug the iPad into my iMac, it appears as though it will delete all the existing content on my iPad as it thinks it is a brand new, unused iPad. I don't want this.
    How do I connect the iPad to iTunes for the first time, without it erasing what I already have on it?

    Sadly, none of this works.
    I have backed up using PhoneView and iCloud. When I plug the iPad in, I can't access anything other than a binary option that says 'set up as a new iPad' or restore from a previous back-up. Sadly, none of the iCloud back-ups that I have done from my iPad appear in the list.
    Looking at the list provided above, I can only do steps 1-3.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    - This doesn't work. A pop-up appears saying that I have already authorised 4 devices. It won't let me do anything else with this.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your iTunes library).
    - Greyed out - can't do this.
    - None of the things below therefore work either.
    6. Right click your phone in the left device pane & select "Reset warnings".
    7. Right click again and select "Backup".
    8. Right click again & select "Restore from Backup", select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your iTunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select "Merge".

  • How can I sync my new iPad with my iPhone and Gmail?

    I just purchased an iPad air.  I want to sync the iPad with my iPhone 5c and my Gmail account.  Everytime I go to add go to add an email account it tells me my gmail password is wrong.  How can I sync these devices?  Thanks Jenni

    When you add the account to the pad it should work just fine.  You are doing somethjing subtly wrong with the password as you are setting the account up.
    Try again, and pay real close attention to not only the password, but the other entries as you set up the account.
    If you get frustrated, simply go to google, and reset your passwoird to something new that you will easily remember, then use that password.  You will need to change the pword in your other devices as well to match the new one.

  • How do i sync my new iPad to my account

    I got a new iPad, but when i contect it to my laptop it doesn't auto start my itunes and my iTunes doesn't seem to see it.

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes, version 11.1, on your computer (iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1+) ? If you are using a PC then you can see your current version via the Help > About iTunes menu option.

    If you haven't already got it installed then download and install iTunes on your Mac. Then connect the iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes and use the tabs on the right-hand side to select which of your iTunes content to sync to it.

  • How do i sync my new ipad mini with mac 10.5.8?

    i just received my ipad mini.  i am unable to sync  the message i must download osx 10.7  i have 10.5.8.
    my imac is about 4 1/2 years old. 
    What should I do.  The sales lit says nothing about compatability.
    bummed

    From Apple's site:
    System Requirements
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download
    Same as printed on the box the iPad came in.

  • Sync only new music from itunes library

    Does anyone know how to sync only NEW music from the itunes library to the iphone? I am following the basic help instructions and if I select certain songs, albums, playlists, etc. then it syncs ONLY those that I check. i.e. none of the music that was already on the iphone is there anymore. It's almost as if every time I sync the iphone I have to check ALL music that I want to be sync'd. And that's including music that was already on the iphone. How do I sync ONLY NEW songs from my itunes library, without losing what's on it beforehand?

    i want to know if i can simply 8 songs to my iphone without changing the status of the existing songs on the phone.
    Yes, which I've already answered, but I guess I haven't provided the answer in a clear enough manner.
    How are you adding songs to your iPhone now?
    Are you syncing all songs and playlists or selected playlists?
    Do you have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
    These are the settings I'm using:
    Sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for my iPhone sync preferences.
    Under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences, I have sync selected playlists selected.
    I created a playlist with iTunes named iPhone. I have my iPhone playlist selected to be synced or transferred to my iPhone - along with a few other playlists.
    I add the songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone playlist that I want available on my iPhone.
    If I want to add 10 additional songs to my iPhone that are not currently on my iPhone, I add the 10 songs to the iPhone playlist. When syncing, the 10 new songs added to the iPhone playlist are transferred to my iPhone only with no songs removed from my iPhone. If I want to remove 10 songs from my iPhone, I remove the 10 songs from the iPhone playlist and then sync. The 10 songs removed from the iPhone playlist are the removed from my iPhone with no other changes - unless I add new songs to the playlist and remove others at the same time before syncing. The songs added to the playlist are transferred to my iPhone and the songs removed from the playlist are removed from my iPhone only when syncing. No other songs already on my iPhone are touched/removed with this process - unless I make a change to my iPhone playlist.

  • I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

    I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

    My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

  • I have an iPad 1 to which I synced my photo libraries from my laptop. Unfortunately that laptop got stolen. I now have an iPad 2 as well with a new laptop. How do I get my photo libraries from my iPad 1 to my iPad 2 and to my new laptop...?

    I have an iPad 1 to which I synced my photo libraries from my laptop. Unfortunately that laptop got stolen. I now have an iPad 2 as well with a new laptop. How do I get my photo libraries from my iPad 1 to my iPad 2 and to my new laptop...?

    I assume that you haven't got a backup copy of them (?). You can copy photos that were originally synced from a computer off the iPad via third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network - you can then sync them to your other iPad. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How do i sync two different ipads to the same computer, but maintain two seperate list of apps?

    How can I sync two seperate ipads to the same computer without the apps from one ipad being loaded on the other?

    Do this for each device. You can do this with all iTunes content as well. Apps, music, photos, books, movies - everything. You can have unique content on all of your devices.
    You may also want to turn off auto sync so that you do not have to wait for the iPad to sync and then go back and make these changes.
    Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom.... Prevent iPods, iPhones ....
    Then set up your sync preferences like this using Apps as the example.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps that you want to sync to that iPad
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You may want to uncheck Automatically Sync New Apps under the Sync Apps list

  • Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

    Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

    Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

  • Can't sync my new ipad

    How do I transfer ipad apps to a new ipad.  I want to sync my new ipad to my itunes account, but I can't seem to figure out how.

    Your content should reside in iTunes, connect and sync. Otherwise you will need to make sure your 1st gen iPad is backed up to iCloud and then restore from this backup when setting up the new iPad.
