I have a new ipad 3...I CANNOT get my library of music or movies to download to it!  HELP!!

I'm not new to the Apple world...Our family has iphone's, ipods & several iPads....  We just got the new iPad 3 and I CANNOT get it to download anything onto it! ARRGG!!  It shows that it syncs, but nothing stores onto the iPad after the sync. What am I missing here!! =/

Hi sasha0426,
I haven't come across this one, but the first thing I would try is a "reset" on the iPad (different from just restarting):
Hold down on both the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the issue.
Try again.
Also, check to make sure there are no restrictions set in Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
Hope this helps!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    What  should I do now? Its around 40 miles away the apple store? Would they pay my taxi fare to go and return?
    How can we trust this apple product?
    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple Care.

    Tap Settings > WiFI. Look for your WiFi access point and tap that. Enter your password. Done.

    OK...
    See Here for one way

    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • I have a new iPad Air and I don't want all my game apps to download, how do I pick specific games to download?

    I have a new iPad Air and I dont want all my game apps to download (from iTunes), how do I pick specific apps to download

    Don't restore from your backup and in the app store app go to Purchased then click on the ones you want.

  • Have bought new ipad but now cannot access app store in old i pad

    My original i pad was registered to my old email address which is no longer in use.    I am now with sky and when I purchased a new ipad recently and registered my sky e mail address and inserted a new password.   I can now log onto apple.com with my laptop and my new ipad.   However when I try to update my apps or download a new app on my original i pad up pops  the box to insert my password with the old e mail address.   I have tried the old password and the new password (which will only work with my sky email).   I have read on this forum that it is possible to erase all content and settings.   If i do this will it erase the old e mail address.   I don't want to erase everything and then not be able to install any apps.

    Thanks for your reply.  I think I  created a new apple id on my new ipad.   Bear with me as I am a "silver surfer" as they say. 
    I did what you advised go to settings>store>apple id.  Signed out and created my new apple id with the new password that was created on my new ipad
    Now my apple id is my new sky email address and I can log in with these.
    But still when I try to update apps it still states my apple id as my old email address
    I dont mind if i lose everything as there is not that much to lose.   I just wanted to keep the old ipad for my grandchildren as they use a lot of the game apps but obviously not much good if I cannot download any new apps
    Also to confuse matters and to find out if it solved anything  I clicked  settings apple id  i forgot and typed in my email address they stated that an email would be sent  but nothing arrives which makes me think they are sending to my old e mail address.  
    Also when I want to download an app on my new ipad it does not prompt me to put in a password.  
    From what you say should all of my apps on my old ipad have been automatically been transferred to my new ipad - but perhaps not if the email addresses were different on each one.
    I have i haven't confused you - should i just reset - i think it would make it easier for me anyway.
    Thanks again

  • I have a new ipad 3 and cannot activate facetime or imessage - it says "unable to connect to server"

    Is there a waiting time before being able to activate Facetime or iMessage on an ipad3?
    I purchased my ipad today and cannot use Facetime or iMessage yet.

    Good Evening Meg,
    I´m form Mexico City and I am experiencing issues to enabe iMessage too.
    Do you know if this outage is only affecting US customers, or this can be extended to other locations??
    Thanks!!!!

  • I have a new iPod touch and cannot get my apple id verified for imessage or facetime - any help?

    I have an Apple ID and it works but I cannot use iMessage or Facetime. I enter my apple id and password and it hangs up at the verify stage. I have received the email which apple sends and it states that my apple id is verified. Any help with this?

    I had this same problem. I tried turning iPhone on & off, exiting Settings, etc. Nothing worked. I realized that the E-mail address associated with my Apple ID was not connected to the iPhone via POP or IMAP. I believe that if you want to use the iMessage feature, you have to have a live connection between that E-mail server and your iPhone. After I set up the POP link to send/receive E-mails from that account, iMessage worked. Also, during my attempts to get iMessage to work, I updated my phone to the latest iOS, and when the phone rebooted, my cell number was listed and checked in the iMessage setup, where it was not visible anytime beofre that upgrade. Hope this will help someone.

  • Brand new iPad Air and cannot get tilt to work in games or to change orientation for reading - help!

    Battery on new iPad Air running down really quickly with all apps closed down and whilst asleep- any ideas?

    Hello, juliefromaltrincham. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would check to make sure Rotation Lock is not engaged.  The article below will walk you through that process and has some helpful troubleshooting steps if that does not resolve the issue.  In regard to your battery concerns, I would need more information regarding usage patterns and how you connect to a data network.  The best option for that would be to contact us here.

  • I have a new computer, how can I get my library from my IPod

    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I am in Madeira and have lost my ipad. I cannot get apple support to find out hpw to disable it.

    I don't know how to disable my ipad now that it is lost. Since I am out of country, I don't have serial number.

    Neither Apple nor iTunes Support can disable it for you.
    Unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it and/or remotely wipe it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another iOS device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it (if it has iOS 7 on it as your tagline suggests then it should be harder to disable).
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model then you should also contact your carrier.
    If the iPad was registered to your account then you should be able to get its serial number from your suppor profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
