I need help with iPad on iTunes

When I first got my iPad, I took it out of the box and started using it right away without connecting it to a computer. Now when I finally connect it, it tells me that I need to set it up as a new iPad but I don't want to lose everything, what do I do?

You can do this but you need to go through the relevant steps explained in this user tip .... Backup, Restore from the backup, transfer purchases and so on.

  • Need help with iPad app syncing in iTunes

    When I first connect iPad to iTunes, and select apps, all the apps on iPad display, but they are semi-transparent.
    When I uncheck sync, then only the apps that were installed originally show up, and are 'solid'.
    When I try to sync apps on my iPad, it shows these 'solid' icons only (less apps in iTunes than I have on the iPad) and warns I will lose apps not shown if I sync?!   That sounds more like a revert than a sync.  I do not want to revert, I want iTunes to update itself to show the list of apps I have purchased on the iPad.
    Anyone know how to get iTunes to show the apps I have on the iPad and let me sync them all to iTunes without losing what I purchased on the App Store through iPad?

    How could we help you?
    You did not even mention the name of the app.
    Contact the app maker and ask.

  • Need help with Connect to iTunes error.

    My iPhone 3GS is stuck with the "Connect to iTunes" image. It will not go away.
    It happened when I tried to get the IOS 6.0 update. I had the same issue with my iPad when I tried getting the update but at least my iTunes recognized my iPad after 2 or 3 days. I cannot wait that long to get my phone working again.
    Right now, iTunes will not recognize my phone at all.
    I have tried most of the troubleshooting tips i.e. I'm running the latest version of iTunes, I have restarted my laptop, I have done a few gard resets on my iPhone, power down, power up..etc..etc.
    I'm using a PC with windows 7.
    Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks is advance.

  • I need help with moving my iTunes library to a new disk...

    I'm soon gonna get a new SSD which is half the size of my HDD. So i guess i wont be able to restore with time machine or use disk utility to clone the drive. I'll have to start with a fresh copy of moutain lion.
    What I'll want to do is that keep all my music on my ssd and let all the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd.
    can someone outline the steps to...
    create a library on the ssd on which os x is installed.
    move music, playlists and apps.
    let the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd and yet be accessible from itunes, like being referenced.
    in the past i did this by moving the entire library to the internal drive and then while itunes was running, move the videos from the library folder to the external drive. it autoMAGICALLY was able to find the videos on the external drive while my music and apps were stored in the internal.
    now my library size is so big with all the videos that i cannot do the above steps as i want be able to copy the entire library to the internal ssd.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks in addvace.

    Sometimes we sleep.  We have even been known to be away from the keybord to bathe (but usually not for longer than 2 minutes once a week ).
    I don't know how you automagically did it last time - your details are lacking.  iTunes is normally terrible at following you moving things, especially from drive to drive.  You either have to let iTunes do the moving (by consolidating to a new location) or you have to disable iTunes managing your media in which case it will follow moving inside a drive but still not between drives.
    Despite the new version, iTunes still does not make it easy to split your library between drives.  Probably since you only buy your items from iTunes and are never away from a high speed Internet connection it doesn't matter since you can always stream or download items you need from your Match subscription, right?

  • I need help with transferring my itunes using my ipod

    Hi, I wanted to move itunes to my new computer so backed everything on to my ipod (old 30GB video), did that part fine but now when I transfer to my new computer there is nothing in the itunes folder, and my ipod is still almost full with all the information I transferred, can anyone help? Is it becasue my old somputer was windows xp and this one is vista?
    Thanks

    Open a Windows Explorer window so that it shows the iTunes folder that you dragged from the iPod to the computer (the one that is now on your computer). Run iTunes and select the Music LIBRARY in the sidebar. Drag the iTunes folder and drop it onto the iTunes windows (onto the main pane). iTunes should add the songs to the iTunes library.
    However, you may want to review the article, because it should have worked without doing the above. Make sure you copied the iTunes folder to the correct location on the computer.

  • I NEED HELP WITH AN ILLEGIBLE ITUNES GIFTCARD. ANYONE! PLEASE

    I received an itunes gift card as a gift last year and i would like to redeem it now but the scratch off part was difficult to remove, unusually. When i carefully got it off, 3 numbers/ letters are missing. I called every number i could find on apple.com but nothing was helpful. Is there anyone out there that could please help me! Thank you

    If this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Need help with setting up iTunes match

    not able to get my itunes match to work on my iphone 3gs

    If you are getting an error that you are not subscribed this generally means you need to sign into the mobile iTunes Store with the exact same iTunes account ID that you used to enable Match in iTunes.
    Go to Settings > Store and confirm the ID. If necessary, sign out then back in. Then go to Settings > Music and set iTunes Match to "on."

  • Hi i need help with ipad 2

    My gf gave me an ipad 2 but it still had a password lock on it and when i went to restore it it gave me this msg....  iTunes could not connect to iPad "savient" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes.    But i dont know the password.

    Then you either have to ask her for the pass code to unlock it and then change it to your own pass code or you have to restore the iPad to unlock it.
    Instructions can be found here.

  • Need help with syncing from ITunes to IPOD

    Hi. I'm relatively new to ipods but I just got an IPOD mini. Since it only has so much memory(about 4g) I want to sync specific songs, not have Itunes do it automatically. When I clicked on the "manually manage music" I can see it works but only to a certain extent. You have to drag EVERY SINGLE SONG to IPOD in Itunes INDIVIDUALLY!! I cant do that everytime I wanna switch up my IPOD library. I also clicked "only sync clicked items" hoping that in my normal music library, if I click the box to the left of each song that I want to be synced and uncheck the songs I dont want sync'd that would work. Will it? Because that's all I want to do, just sync particular songs without having to drag 1000 songs. Clicking would be so much easier.

    Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    A better option to use when your iPod is smaller than the iTunes library is 'Sync Music - Selected playlists'.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano or Mini). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:
