Warning message says :
There are purchased items on the iPad "Joce's iPad" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?
Since I don't want her stuff on my pc, is there a way to update and not loose anything on the iPad?
Thank you

Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

You said you need to restore your iPhone with iTunes. My instructions included the following:
+Since you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, with your iPhone connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. After confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library on your computer, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below. Select Apply followed by a sync.+
The Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone should include any iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store which is not in your iTunes library on your computer. This includes any music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps downloaded from iTunes with your iPhone that is not in your iTunes library on your computer.
After confirming all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store that was not in your iTunes library is now in your iTunes library, you can restore your iPhone with iTunes. After the restore is completed, this must be followed by a sync. Select the music under the Music tab, the movies under the Movies tab, the apps under the Apps tab, etc. that you want transferred to your iPhone.
If you were manually managing music and videos with your iPhone before with Manually Manage Music and Videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, switching to syncing music, movies, and tv shows will erase all music, movies, and tv shows from your iPhone first.
Since you indicated you want to restore your iPhone with iTunes with your original post, go ahead and do so after confirming all iTunes content on your iPhone that was downloaded from the iTunes store which was not in your iTunes library is now in your iTunes library.

Is there a way to update an iPod touch with an iPad?

I no longer have a laptop all I have in an iPad and I need to update my iPod touch so it has IOS, but I do not know I can do it with that or if I will have to use a computer. If I can is there a special cable that I need to get?

To update an iOS device with less then iOS 5 requires a computer with iTunes and an internet connection. It sounds like you need to restore your iPod and that requires the same. Use a friend's computer or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I am trying to sync my mother-in-laws iPad to my computer. It was originally synced to my computer over 1 year ago. I want to update itunes without taking anything off her iPad. How do I accomplish this task?

I am trying to sync my mother-in-law's iPad with my computer. It has been over 1 year since it was synced and I need to update her itunes software. However, I don't want to erase the apps and photos she has put on her iPad over the last year. How do I accomplish this?

You can Only Sync to one iTunes Library at a time.

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there. Is that possible?

Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)

I just restored my iphone to be like my ipod and I lost all my photos and videos..is there any way to get them back?

You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

2 questions, 1 I tried to download developer preview 2, and it did not complete and now I cant redeem again. Is there a way to fix without calling the 800

2 questions, 1 I tried to download developer preview 2, and it did not complete and now I cant redeem again. Is there a way to fix without calling the 800, 2 if i put all itunes in the cloud do i have to store it on my machine still, can i delete movies etc, on hard drive

If you mean the Developer preview of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion you need to be posting this to the appropriate developer forum or AppleSeed forum. We can't help you with software that hasn't been released.
Your second question seems to be related to iTunes Match, yes? Try posting it in that forum.

No, just a reminder that you should do so beforehand, which you have already done.
