My iPad would not back-up to my computer even though it has before

Backup all your music etc in itunes, then do a factory reset.

i have an ipod classic and it's in recovery mode. I recently started a new itunes library on my laptop instead of the family computer, but managed to keep all my music. Now it's in recovery mode and it looks like I have no choice but to restore it to factory settings. If I do that, will I still be able to go back to my old computer and get all my albums back on my ipod? I would import my cds onto my laptop but unfortunately it doesn't take discs.
You have no choice but to restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. They have to be in the iTunes library before your restore from iTunes backup.

I was trying to add and app to my iphone and was not able to do so. It wanted updated credit information. So, I entered it and it will not accept the month of experation. I have shut the phone down, sync it to the computer to update. Will not work. What can I do to continue?
Off the top I dont thing its good practice to post an email address here
I dont see how a google password change would impact on ur Apple ID/iTunes account
Have u access to the old email address? If not and you fail the apple security process then you need to call them

Ipod 5 will not boot up from no batteries even though it has been charging for 30 minutes.
I bought an iPod Touch 5th generation in December 2013. It is completely out of batteries and when I plug it in it says it's charging but never boots up. Now when I plug it in the iPod doesn't even show the dead batterie sign. I have tried multiple adapters that are certified by Apple but the two USB to Thunderbolt cables I've tried are not certified by Apple. Could it be the uncertified cables are is it a bad batterie? I don't want to buy an overpriced apple cable to find out it's the iPods fault. I have cleaned out the port in my iPod and all the connection that could be faulty, unfortunately I do not have another IOS device that supports Thunderbolt so I can't tell if it's the cables fault. I will probably ask to borrow someones fifth generation device although I am almost 100% certain that it is not the cables fault.
What do you mean by:
- "multiple adapters that are certified by Apple"? Do yo mean wall charger?
- "USB to Thunderbolt cables"? A Lightning cable plugs into the iPod
Yes, a bad USB to Lightning cable can result in no charging. Also, some non-Apple cables do not work.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

- Try another charging source I think you already did did this
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPad would not complete the back up to iCloud. The suggestion re: resetting the iPad did not work. Are there any other ideas?
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hi ,
I would like to ask you about purchase item transfer to ipad from mac book Itunes, But This message will be notified on screen
"This ipad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized with that purchased item on this ipad"
I did authorized in the store, but still did not transfer to the mac. Could you please to tell me what should I do it? Please let me know that as soon as possible.
Regards,
Thank youThe iPad is fine. But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad. You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.
Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup -
MAC OSX 10.5.8 and 2TB Time Machine would not back up. Saw discussion that suggested you change name without apostrophes etc. Went into Time Machine and did a manula backup without a name and it appears to be backing up now. Does this remove delete the old backup's ?

I can not open my ipad mini, a message says " cannot back up. This ipad can not back up to icloud without a verified email address. later , settings but neither of the two when clicked can't be opened.pls advise on what to do?
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have a message on my ipad saying ipad is not backed up. back ups happen when this i pad is plugged in locked and connected to wi-fi. cant get on ipad and dont know what to do as i am new to ipad. can someone help?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold both Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use it again.
The Power button is the one that you use to put your iPad in sleep mode (at the top of the iPad), and the Home button is at the bottom of the screen -
Both my iPod and my MacBookPro connect with my home Wi-Fi but my iPad will not even after entering the passcode. I have tried Full shutdown and tried other Wi-Fi's for which I had the correct passcode. My iPad would not connect. Any suggestions?
Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
any thoughts?
