I bought a new Mac. I previously had my iPhone and iPad synched to my PC. I set up iTunes but my playlists did not come over from my PC. I can redo that without a problem...BUT...I just tried to synch my iPad with my Mac and I got the following message: The iPad "name" cannot be synched. You do not have the privilege to make changes. I deauthorized my PC and have authorized my Mac...it just won't synch. Help!!

Downloaded apps using my iphone, now I want to sync my phone on my computer, but don't want to lose the apps that I've downloaded on my phone Help!
Connect the phone to your computer, but do not sync. Make sure iTunes is authorized to the same account that you bought the apps with. Then select "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. Once this finishes the apps will be on your computer, so you can sync safely.

Resetting my iPad but don't want to lose data
I need to return my work iPad to the company and therefore will be resetting it. How can I ensure I don't lose the data, how can I save it so that I can put this on a new iPad if I decide to get a personal one.
I also have an iPhone and don't want to lose anything from that when I reset my iPad, are they linked? Is there anyway to move this data across to my iPhone?
The data I'm worried about losing is the contacts, iMessages and bookmarks/favourites within Safari.If, in iCloud settings on the iPad, you have Safari checked, your history and favourites will be synchronsied via iCloud and you'll be able to get them back on a new device synced to the same account. Same for contacts, calendar items and so on.
The page below outlines everyting backed up via iCloud.

So between iCloiud sync and backup, you should be OK -

Am currently using Snow Leopard and do not have access to I Cloud or latest version of I Photo. Understand I can download Maverick free but am worried about losing data. How to download Maverick and safeguard present files?
Mac OS X upgrades are designed so that none of your existing Applications or User data are intentionally deleted during a System Upgrade.
That works as long as there are no problems whatsoever.
Your best protection from data loss is good Backups. Before you upgrade, buy an External Drive at least 2 to 3 times the size of your User Data, and Turn on Time Machine. USB-2 enclosure drives are cheap, and fast enough for backups. If you will use this drive for everyday data, a faster interface would be much better.
Time Machine works quietly in the background, and does not "take over" your Mac to do the Backups. After the first large backup, it will quietly back up hourly, copying only the things that have changed since the last Backup. Time Machine is not the only Backup solution, or even the best solution out there. But it tends to be the Backup that actually happens, because you don't have to download any software, do extensive setup, or think about whether you should do it now or later. -
Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?
This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem. -
Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync?
Thanks joanlvhYou can update it on your computer, but then when he syncs it to his own it will say this iphone is already synced with another itunes account bla bla and will ask you if you want to sync it with this account. It will wipe anything you put on it using your own itunes account. BUT it wont wipe off the new iOS5

We had an account that was housed on our old computer but it didn't make it to the new one. How can we find the balance and start using it again?
iTunes accounts are not located on your computer. They are simply tied to a specific AppleID. Just log in to iTunes with the correct AppleID and Password and you will be back in that account.

we plan on buying an iphone 5 but don't want to lose the text messges we have on our iPhone 4s. is there a way to upload the texts and then download them onto the new phone
Text messages are included in your iPhone backup. Before switching over to the new phone, back up the old one, then restore this backup to your new phone. That will transfer text messages, along with other data and settings, as well as your apps and other purchased media. More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

I already have an iPod, iPhone and iPad connected to and synching via my Windows PC. Can I add other iOS devices? How many more? Will this all chance once iCloud becomes official?
No limit to devices. The limit for authorized computers however is 5. iCloud has not been released yet but I should think not.

I just connected my iPod after opening iTunes to make a playlist and repeatedly have gotten the message that 'iTunes has detected an iPod that might be corrupted." I can either disconnect and try again, which I've done multiple times to no avail, or restore. I don't want to lose the dozens of playlists, so do I have any options that anyone knows of?
Thank you.What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
i was in the middle of updating my ipad and of course the battery died, the computer doesnt charge up the ipad while plugged in (very stupid) and now it wants to restore i don't want to lose all my trophies in the games that ive played if i do a restore....can anyone help me
If you backed up the iPad before you tried to update, you can restore the iOS and then restore from the backup. If you don't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do about it now.
You will have to restore the iPad in order to make it operational again and you will lose all of your data. If you don't sync with iTunes and cannot recover your media again that way, you can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. -
