I purchased a new ipad air and i want to change what syncs on my ipad 4

I purchase our third iPad and when I add apps to my iPad Air they show up on the iPad 4. Can I rename or re-id the iPad 4 without losing the apps my wife uses?

If you download apps on the iPad Air and they are also downloading to the iPad 4, on the iPad 4, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Automatic Downloads>Apps>Off.
You can rename either or both iPads in Settings> General> About> Name.
You can select unique content to sync on each iPad without affecting what is on the other iPad. When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, just go into each tab, Apps, Music, Photos, books, etc - and select the content that you want to sync to that device. You can choose whatever apps, etc that you want to sync to each device.
Assuming that you are Windows, this might be helpful.

I recently purchased a new Macbook Air and used migration to transfer old files from my old PC to the Mac, and now there are songs that I purchased through Itunes on my phone that are not on my Mac, how do I transfer these songs from the phone to the Mac?

I have purchased a new mini mac and I want to leave the library where it is on the external drive but move to new mini mac and have it show as it did on the old mini mac..
what do i need to do ?
I have found multitude of articles about moving itunes to external drive or other similar things but I don't want to move itunes from the external drive, just change mini mac machines and have everything in itunes the same..
Thanks

I had already tried that one and got this...
below is screen shot of what is on the new mac mini
and what is on the external drive now connected to the new mac mini..
There are no media files on the mac mini just the library files and on external just media files..
Do I need to copy anything over from the old mac mini ? xml files ? .. the itunes folder on old mini is about 840mb in size which looks to have artwork ect ? .. I am fairly computer literate, but this one has me stumped.. ?
thanks for help

I just bought a new macbook air and i want to set it up with a new apple id. Can I delete my old one?

I just bought a new macbook air for college and I am currently setting it up. I have had a long time apple id as a kid, but I want to set up a fresh, new one for this computer. However, the email I want to use is already associated with my old apple id, can I delete this account completely to "restart"?

No, that is not possible as well as not preferred. If you setup a new Apple ID your previous purchases, downloads, etc. done with the old Apple ID will not longer be available unless you re-purchase them using the new Apple ID.

My iTunes is accessed with an old email address. I have just created a new apple ID and now want to change my iTunes account to reference this- how do I do it?

Arghh!! I am literally about to throw my new iPad out of a window - apple is driving me beyond crazy. I have an old iTunes account to which all my music is saved. I have just created a new apple id and want that to be the one that my iTunes account references - it won't let me change my old email to this as it says my new apple I'd is sychd to another account. How do I do it? Am desperate!

Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Hi . i just purchase my new matchbook air and my last macbook air backup was save in time machine. Now i want to backup from time machine but this is not showing in backup machine plzz help me out to backup from uncompleted backup ?

plz help me out

TimeMachine 'knows' that this is a new computer so you have to open up the TimeMachine control panel and tell it what hard drive to use for backing up. Also the first backup will be a complete backup because it is a different computer.

My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

See if this helps:

I purchased a new iPad Air. Backed up all my old stuff from my iPad 2. I hooked my new air to my iTunes acct through my laptop & all is good until I did the update today. I show apps that need updates, which before they updated automatically. So when trying to updating it asked for my apple password. I kept Putting it in & it said no good. It is using my daughter I'd, not mine. I have checked all my accounts & settings, nothing has her id,just mine. How do I get it to my id?

Copy the iTunes library from your backup as below:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Sync with the restored library.

We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device

Best Regards,
Jeremy

TA22652 I purchased a new iPad and my daughter uses my iPad. On my account her email address appears. How can I get my account back?

I purchased a new iPad and my old iPad went to my daughter. I have a problem though in that my iTunes account has been taken over by her email address. If I want to redeem a voucher on my account her email address appears. How do I correct this?

Did you take a backup in between taking the photos and deleting them ? If you did then try restoring to that backup (you will need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just do the Photos app) and they should be put back.

When you create new albums directly on your iPad and 'copy' photos into them you are effectively just creating pointers to the orginal photos, you aren't creating copies of the photos - so if you then delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to and therefore be removing it from all albums that you've copied it into (you should have got a warning when deleting the photo that that would happen).

Hi. I purchased a new ipad mini and my brother already has iphone 4,so how can i avoid sharing the same contents that are on his phone? Will creating an other apple id help us in seperating our facetime and icloud accounts as we share our laptop to sync ?
