I just got a used ipad from my sister,
I think i just downloaded the new software, but now its says that its backing it up, & now its been on back up mode for over an hour. Is this normal, or is there something wrong?
the thing is tho, she got it from sum1 else. I dont think she ever synced it to any computer(s). I reset the network settings, & i wasnt to sure if i should erase all the settings when i got it. And now, i hooked it up to the comp @ work, so that I could sync it & personalize it..... Its just that its taking forever, I hope i didnt do something to mess it up..... Also, i think it was jailbroke, would that affect it in any way when trying to do all this.

please help,just got used Ipad, owner reset to factory before shipping but when i turned it on wont go past the apple screen and wont sync to itunes
Just make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, also try restarting the iPad by hold down the on/off and the home button until your see the Apple logo. As a final troubleshooting step, put your iPad in recovery mode.

I just went to GameStop to get a used Iphone3 and I can't seem to figure out how to get Internet without using wifi connection. Anyone know how to do so? Everything else works good.
Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

I have never used this--on my ipad it says I have an account with icloud and that I can syn all my devices but there is no app for icloud on my ipad.
I have never used my ipod myself--that is to put material on it. A friend did it and I registered with Apple and I did have itunes and a list of my stuff on my old pc but it is gone. I tried to get itunes on the pc I have--no sucess--5 + attempts yesterday. Today I tried to link my ipod to icloud. In the "settings" heading I do not have a "software" choice. I do not know what to do. Can someone help me. I am not very pc literate--so you might get frustrated. Thank YouHi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -
How do I get iPad working without itunes and a computer when it wants to be hooked to iTunes after a reset?

Use a friends computer. IF the ipad is telling you to connect to iTunes that is what you need to do, there is no bypassing this. -
I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up copy of the old Ipad from Itunes to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?
Contrary to the opinion above, I see no reason whatsoever why you can't set up the new iPad from the backup of the old one. Obviously you will have app updates to make and complete and that sort of thing, but if you want to retain all of your app data and device settings (some of which will change because of the updated iOS), I would certainly restore from the backup first.
If you find that to be problematic, you can always start all over again. -
I just got a new ipad and downloaded a game from the game center. I went to "games" and can't find it. Where did it go? Help!
You download games in the App store app.
Game Center is used for scores and linking with friends. -

i just got my second ipad, i want to put all the music from my 1st one straight to my second, how do i do that?
Set you 2nd iPad from your 1st iPad. If you have your music in your iTunes library, it's easier as you can set it up as a new device and then go to music>sync all music.
Once you set up you 2nd iPad from your 1st one, if you want do not want the other setting to be synced, turn it off. For example, in apps, uncheck everything and you can get rid of them. -
I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD 2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for over two hours. Also, I Books opens and then closes right away with no content. Does it take this long, or is there an issue?
I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it. Can anyone help me find where to change location?
As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected. Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database. If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location. I don't think that there is anything you can do about it. You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.

i have just got my 3gs back from my daughter and i have put my sim card in and it comes up as emergency calls only. That is my first problem then when i plug it into itunes it only recognises it as her iphone can anyone help my please ?
I agree with wjosten. Sounds like a sim card issue. Was your sim card removed from a working,activated phone? I've switched sim cards in an iphone multilple times and never had a problem. You might try removing the sim card and reinstalling.

Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod? My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
Family member's Game Center on my iPad!Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email. -
I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ronthe spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more
