I have a new iPad Air. I am trying to back up my iPad 2 in iTunes and then transfer the data, but I can't get to the summary tab to come up to back up. Please help.
I am trying to back up my iPad 2 on my PC in iTunes , so that I can transfer all data to my new iPad air. I have to use iTunes , as my internet connection is too slow for iCloud. There is no device tab to select. Where do I find this?
Hi sunnup!
Here is an article that can tell you exactly how to do this backup of your iPad in iTunes:

I added gmail to my phone.... now I can't get my mac. mail from my mac computer on the phone when I click the envelope for mail....so I dumped my gmail account.... still can't get my mac mail back on icon page on iphone so I can get my mail from my computer...
Ready to take my iphone back..... maybe I am too old.... for all this stuff.... very sad and frustrated....Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -

After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Messages issues:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Before you start troubleshooting, learn the difference between SMS, MMS, and iMessage. The first step to resolving an issue with iMessage is toupdate your iOS software and your carrier settings to the latest versions. If iMessage still has an issue, follow the steps below for your issue.

Re: I accidently turned off my imessages and now they keep messing up and wont send imessages -
After updading software on IPAD2 tells me I have to reset to factory default and will lose all data
Kinda.
Read the following in its entirty before doing anything.
Note that a "Restore" could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
I have a new ipad, it says I am connected to the internet but will not work. When I attempt to go to a web sight the green bar moves 1/2 inch and nothing.
I have a used linksys router that I got from work. I tried connecting with a older ipad and every thing works correctly. any ideas?Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi. -
HT1296 I bought my wife a new Ipad 3. How do I transfer her data from the old Ipad 1 to the new one?
I bought my wife a new Ipad 3. How do I transfer her data from the old Ipad 1 to the new one?
Sync the old one, and get a full back up stored. Make sure you transfer your purchases to I tunes, and make sure you upload any photos taken on the pad, or imported thru the cck.
Then plug the new pad in, and set it up from the backup of the old one. In theory, all the stuff that was in the back up will migrate to the new pad. If apps, music or books get lost, you can redownload them for free, using the same appLe id.
If you are selling or gifting the old one, When you are done and happy with the new set up, go to setting, general, reset, reset all content and data. This will place the pad in factory new condition. Lastly, if it is a 3 g pad, especially if it a Verizon pad, make sure to cancel the plan -

I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7. When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down. What can I do? I am using a Windows 7 machine.
Hi thanks for the encouragement. It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
down. Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
them. Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....
