I have about 200 pics that I downloaded onto my iPad 2 from a folder on my computer that crashed recently. How do I update and back up my iPad without losing those pics? Pics of my 4 beautiful kids... do not want to lose these!
What would you have done if you didn't have an iPad?
Photos on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. The iPad is not designed to intended to be a backup storage device.
The transfer of photos from a computer to an iOS device via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer only - from the computer to the device. Photos are optimized for viewing on the device the photos are being transferred to - the original resolution of the photos is changed, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that support transferring these photos in the opposite direction.

Is there a way to ADD photos to my iPad without replacing the ones already there? I am trying to add photos from a computer that does not contain photos already synced to the device.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

My MacBook Pro HD crashed. It is all up and runmning except for one issue. I have about 200 songs on my iPhone but have only gotton 53 back on my laptop from my iPhone and those are the songs I purchased via iTunes. How do I get the rest of the songs from my iPhone back onto my HD.
The songs I'm not able to import casme from CD's. Nothing from napster etc.
I've tried and tried to import them rom iTunes vis "Library" " Import"Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

i have downloaded logic pro x from app store to my computer, can i transfer this to my bigger more powerful computer that doesnt use internet
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. If your other Mac is compatible with Logic Pro X, simply copy Logic Pro X from Applications folder to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the other computer, and move Logic Pro X to Applications folder.
See > http://www.apple.com/logic-pro/specs -
i have a macbook pro 15" retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram when i try to download an HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD? i went to the support on the apple website and looked at the specs that a computer has to meet in order to play HD movies and mine is well above them. Why can't i play the movies?
That would at least partially explain it.
These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
"If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide." -
How to delete picture files ( nikon NeF and jpeg ) with Zero KB size that were downloaded onto mac pro osx vers 10.5.8, 2x2.8 quad core intel Xeon
-- have not been able to move them or move them to trash without crashing Finder ?Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
Try trashing them in Safe Mode, reply if that doesn't help. -
I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music. How do I do this? The new phone is a 5.
All purchases are always going to be associated to the ID that was used to purchase/download them.
If you create an ID for your daughter you will want to check everywhere it is used to make sure you are not sharing messages and stuff. These would be iTunes/app store, iCloud, iMessages, and FaceTime.
Go thru settings and find all mention of your ID. -
my sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone). i want to set his ipad up with his own username and password. How do i do that, and can it be done without losing any of his apps, music or video?
Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID. -
Hi there, how do I copy a movie that I downloaded onto my memory stick that is plugged into my usb connection?
Goto finder, you'll see your usb in there. Then open another finder window, locate the file, and just drag the movie onto your memory stick.
Really easy =)
@shldr2thewheel, it would have been far easier if you just answered the question. He didn't state the name of it, nor where he downloaded it from. Clearly your making an assumption that it was illegaly downloaded. -
How can I see only the music that is downloaded onto my ipad instead of entire Homesharing library?

so i had itunes on my computer it tried to do an update and told me i didnt have the authority to do so...deleted it and tried to reinstall and i keep getting a message saying service "apple mobile device" failed to start verify that you have sufficient privleges to do so...what does this mean?
Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
Photos tells me it is connecting to Library for shared photos. It's been saying this for about ten hours. I can't stop it from searching or get it to do anything else. I can go back to my photos but I can't get Photos to find the shared items.
Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time. -
My photos wont download onto my ipad2 from my computer?
My photos wont download onto my ipad2 from my computer?
"Thats Apple for you, simple things that should be free cost money. Your going to have to buy Iphoto and install it on you mac to have pictures sync."
Absolutely wrong. iPhoto won't help in SYNCHRONIZING the images from iTunes to the iPad as it can only access photos already synched (or imported via CCK / taken on the iPad itself). -

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.
Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.
