  • How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

    " 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.

  • HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

    Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

    Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

  • Itunes ejects Ipod before syncing (after new Ipad connected)

    I don't know if anyone can help me, but I recently added (synced) a new IPad to my Itunes on my Macbook.
    Since then, when I try to sync my Ipod, Itunes either doesn't recognise my Ipod, or starts syncing bt then comes up with a message "disc not ejected properly" and then stops the sync entirely without anything being transferred to my Ipod.
    Any ideas?

    trying to get back on topic re the original post -
    i.e. I also have an iPod (classic 160) that now will not mount properly.  In both regular mode and in DISC MODE it shows up momentarily on my Apple desktop, but as soon as iTunes loads, the iPod ejects automatically from Finder.  So it never appears in iTunes, and therefore cannot be restored via iTunes; and the iPod icon on my desktop is inaccessible for the few seconds that it remains "mounted".
    Tried another cable; switched from powered hub to the USB2 port direct from my MacBook Pro; reinstalled iTunes; checked Software Update.
    Resetting the iPod via the usual hold Menu and Select works, but this has no effect on the issue  - it only resets my iPod settings so my menus get screwed up.
    Switching to Disc Mode just renders the iPod itself inaccessible - it still doesn't mount so I can't check the drive contents to see if the files have been corrupted etc.
    Any ideas?  The iPod still plays, so it's not like the hard drive is dead . . . but I can't sync it since it won't load in iTunes before it auto-ejects.
    The problem became evident after iTunes stalled during iPod sync - wheel of death.  After trying to wait it out over an hour, I had to Force Quit.  I then hit restart, but the laptop stalled (blue screen of death, grey progress wheel of death) and I eventually had to force reboot using the power switch to shut down.  After that, the ipod wouldn't mount.
    TIA

  • 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.

    I synced my new ipad air with iTunes on my pc to set up and now my ipad will not turn on  what should I do?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Try all of these.

  • HT1386 I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

    I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

    If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

    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.

  • 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??

  • 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.

  • HT2729 syncing new ipad mini with itunes

    trying to sync my new ipad mini to my older macbook with itunes 10.6 it says i need 10.7.
    When I check for upgrades it says mine is the latest version. Help?

    The situation you are probably in is that your Mini wants a newer operating system and iTunes than your older computer can handle. It is quite common for mac apps and programs to have a limited 'backwards compatibility' where new programs and devices will cease compatibility with older devices and programs and operating systems.
    Your choice will probably be to upgrade your computer or use only iCloud to sync your mini.

  • Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?

    Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 (or even an ipad 3 if it ever gets released !) with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?
    Thanks

    You will be able to restore from the backup of the old iPad and then sync all of the other content but you may need to update a bunch of apps in order for them to work with iOS 5 - but yes - you can use that backup.

  • Syncing a new iPad 2

    I am going to buy an iPad 2 whilst on holiday in the USA, I am from the UK. Do I need to take my home laptop with me to sync the new iPad 2 to my iTunes account or will it work straight out of the box without syncing?

    will work straight out of the box, just need a wifi connection
