I bought a new iPad for my wife and want to move the data from my iPad to the new one and clear my old one for her.

How do I back up all data on my iPad 2 & restore it to a new iPad 3?

You can re-download your apps and ibooks purchases via your purchase history in iTunes on your computer (assuming that it's version 10.3+), and if you are in the USA then you can also re-download music I think - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For music that you ripped from CDs or bought from a source other than iTunes then, assuming that you made/maintained one, you can copy them from your backup - and backups are relatively easy to maintain, so there is no reason not to have one (especially as content is occasionally removed from iTunes so isn't always available for re-download). Otherwise there may be third-party programs that can copy them off the iPad, but you can't do it via iTunes - this post from a year ago was about iPod/iPhone to computer utilities but some might work with the iPad : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11646661?messageID=11646661&#11646661 .
If you've got content in other apps that you want to copy back to your computer then you might be able to do via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab in iTunes, or they might have wifi transfer capability.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

Hi MrsMoosie,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

How do i transfer information from one iPad to another as I recently bought a new one and want to give the original to someone else.

I bought an iPad 2 in May without 3G and recently decided I wanted that feature so bought a new one with 3G. I want to give the original to someone else, but need to know how to transfer my data and apps to the new one and "wipe" the other so it doesn't include any personalized information. How do i do that?

The sync should backup the iPad as Fred said but take no chances.
Connect your iPad and let it sync. Then right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select Backup. After that completes sync one last time and disconnect the iPad.
When the new iPad arrives, before you connect the iPad - launch iTunes and turn off auto sync. From the menu at the top go to File>Preferences>Devices> and check "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes.
Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes and activate the device. Then after setting up the iPad - right click on the iPad name on the left side - select Restore - restore from Backup -the backup of your old iPad. When it finishes - go into each tab in iTunes and make sure that you have everything that you want to put on the iPad selected to sync - by putting a checkmark in all of the headings - Sync Apps, Sync Music, Sync Photos, etc. Then select all of the content that you want in each of those tabs and then sync by selecting Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you have the opportunity to restore from the backup when going through the activation process- restore then and there. I can't remember if iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the backup but if so - go ahead and do it.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot download a backup from iCloud, the only way to access it is to restore to the backup with your new phone, which you should have done when you first connected it. If you restore now, you will lose all the new information you have added to your new phone.

My iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
You may need to recalibrate your battery.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

I sure hope iPad 2's prices are not reduced after I just bought a new one YESTERDAY.

I sure hope iPad 2's prices are not reduced after I just bought a new one YESTERDAY prior to this new March 7th announcement!!! I saw that Best Buy reuced the price of their basic iPad (same one I bought) from $499 to $449.
Not going to be very happy.

Did you buy it at Best Buy? if so talk to them. THey may honor the price reduction. Bascially they are trying to reduce their inventory of 2's in anticipation of the 3 being announced next week or so.
Indeed. Best Buy just extended its return policy to 30 days.

I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

My old computer is spoilt. so i bought a new one. now when i try to sync my iPodtouch with my new computer it says "do u wanna erase" the things on my iPod. i clicked NO. but i really wanna update my iPod to io5 but i can't as i dont want to lose my stuff

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

This is a fairly in-depth tutorial on moving from one computer to another.(I recommend Option 1)
http://www.lightroomqueen.com/2009/02/28/how-do-i-move-lightroom-to-a- new-computer/
Also, there's no need to find the original disk for installation. Just download the latest update of your purchased version from here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and user your original serial number.

My HDD broke and I bought a new one. I never made a recovery disc. No way to recover?

As the topic states, I broke my HDD on my Toshiba Satellite L745-S4110 and I just bought a new one. The hard drive is completely fried; the BIOS cannot detect it upon start up.
It broke because I bumped the hard drive while it was writing data, but that's beside the point; the obvious fix was to buy a new hard drive.
So I've bought this new hard drive, and now I want to re-install Windows on it as well as all of the associated drivers for the components on the laptop. I want to be perfectly, crystal clear; there is NO WAY for me to do this without forking $30 over to Toshiba for them to ship me a recovery disk? (No, I never made one while I had the chance.)
If this is the case, I'm just going to pirate windows and hope for the best on getting those drivers back. From the wise words of Gabe Newell:
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."
I already own a license to the copy of Windows for this laptop, yet I must still spend money to (legally) obtain the software that I already own a license to use? That's definitely a service problem.
The other reason that pirating windows is the better option here, is that the associated recovery disk (which I will have to pay $30 to get) is going to have a bunch of shovelware on it that I absolutely do not want. A pirated copy will not have any of this.
Sorry, I'm done ranting for now. Anyways, to re-iterate; there is no option to simply download the needed recovery disk as an ISO and then burn it myself?

Satellite L745-S4110
Drivers and utilities are here.
No need to pirate anything. As you say, you have already purchased Windows 7 Home Premium. And as the mad RN says, you can legally download Windows. (Microsoft sells activation - not the software.)
Select Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 (bootable) from this site.
Download Windows 7 Integrated With SP1 ISO – Official Direct Download Links
Be sure to partition and format during Setup. (No need for this using the recovery media. And you get a recovery-environment partition plus a full-recovery partition.)
Installing and reinstalling Windows 7
Good luck on installing the drivers and utilities. The order is problematic. Best luck seems to be had by installing the Intel chipset and display software prior to other drivers. (No need for any of this when you use recovery media, of course.)
If you cannot activate Windows using the product key on the bottom of the computer, come back here for tips. (Windows on the recovery media is preactivated.)
One advantage to this approach is you'll avoid all the extra garbage, especially offers from Amazon, NetZero, Norton, QuickBooks, and Skype.
My time, however, is worth way more than the $30. I would opt for ordering the recovery media and removing the garbage. But that's your call.

My macbook pro hard drive went bad and i bought a new one and installed it. Now i have the old corrupted hard drive in my hand and i am looking to recover my files from it, any suggestions please? too bad i never backed them up.

After you have installed the OSX on the new HDD in your MBP, install the old HDD in an enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB. Then try to drag and drop your data to the new HDD.
If this proves unsuccessful, you may look for data recovery software on the Internet. There will be free trails to see if it will work or not. If the trial suggests that it will work, then you will have to purchase the software.
The last resort is a professional data recovery service that will offer NO guarantees and charge a lot of money.
As you now can appreciate, backups eliminate such predicaments.
Ciao.
