I synced my ipad and deleted all my apps!

i synced my ipad and it deleted all my apps! I figured out how to get them back but now all my progress in the games is deleted! I thought apple was the best electronics company, but this really ticked me off!

There was definitely a warning that this would happen before you started the sync. It asks you if you are sure that you want to replace the stuff on your iPad with this library. Please take the time to READ everything whenever you're doing something on the computer. Most guys just click ok or cancel on everything without reading and then wonder why their computer is infested with viruses and all kinds of spyware junk.

ITunes apps won't sync with iPad without deleting all the apps already on the iPad!

I've been using my iPad with iCloud sync for a while and now have decided to go back to iTunes sync. I have a bunch of apps i downloaded on the iPad from its app store and want to keep them. However, when i go to the Itunes app section (which is grayed out) and select the sync apps button, all the apps on my iPad in the preview screen disappear!!! How can i sync apps from my computer and keep the apps already on the iPad?

Ditto. Even the new 2.0.1 firmware made no difference. I've had no luck with iTunes in this dept at all. I can download apps to the phone, but they won't sync back to iTunes. If I download apps to iTunes, not only will they not transfer to the phone, but all the apps on the phone get wiped w/o warning.
I've tried the following per Apple suggestions, but to no avail:
- Reset iPhone (the home and lock button method)
- Remove (I manually deleted all content little by little)
- Reset Settings (done thru software, don't know how this differs from "reset iPhone" above)
- Restore - a Huge pain in the *** for nothing. Took forever and obviously I then had to manually put all my songs, ringtones, contacts and photos back on it.
What else is there left to try?

I bought a new laptop how do I sync my ipad and get all the files synced to my old laptop

I bought a new laptop. Can I sync my ipad to it? And how do I get all the files that were synced to my old laptop?

Do you still have your old computer with your media (music, films, etc) on it so that you can copy them over from it ? If you do then there are a number of methods on this page for how you could copy it over from it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If not, and if you don't have your content elsewhere (e.g. music that wasn't bought from iTunes), then there are some programs listed half-way down this page for how to copy content back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For iTunes downloads you should be able to copy them from your iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
Also see this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you want to copy files/documents from the iPad then how you do so depends upon what app that they are in and what the app supports e.g. file sharing on the Apps tab in iTunes, transfer via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc

How to sync my iPad without copying all the apps to my computer? help!!!

This is my first time on sync-ing my iPad. I tried to copy some pdf and music from my computer to my iPad; but apparently once I sync it, I will loose all other pdf I previously had on the iPad.
It will also copy all the apps that I have to my computer. I mean, I only want to put some ebook and music to the iPad. And I don't want to waste more than 10G on my computer just for iPad apps. What should I do? Can I sync it without copying the apps to my computer? Help Thanks
PS. I am using window vista to sync it, thanks to apple that does not allow my OS X 10.4 to sync my ipad.

The apps are being transferred where? If being transferred, there is one place and one place only where the apps can be transferred and that is your iTunes library.
Do you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?
None of the apps on your iPad are available when selecting Apps under Library in the iTunes source list?

I just updated to iSO 5 and then I synced my itouch and now all my apps and games are gone! What do I do to get them back?

They are no where to be found? what do I do? Im really freaked out because i dont want to have to buy them all again.

If for some reaon you failed to transfer them to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload them:

What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I purchased a new ipad3 and have gotten all of my previously purchase apps loaded. Can I now perform an erase and delete all data on the old ipad without doing harm to my itunes account and my new pad?

I just bought the new iPad over the weekend. Restored from the old iPad backup - got everything moved onto the new one gave the old one to my daughter - wiped my 4 email accounts off of the old device and then she proceeded to delete all but about 3 apps from the thing. It had no effect on my new iPad.
You are good to go!

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.

If someone steals my iPhone and deletes all pictures, that will sync to my Mac. So then all my photos are lost! How do I safeguard against this?j

If someone steals my iPhone and deletes all pictures, that will sync to my Mac. So then all my photos are lost! How do I safeguard against this?

If your phone (plus syncing) is the only place you keep your pictures you are asking for trouble, theft or not. Back up onto an external hard disk which is only mounted when you need it, then nothing external can erase them. Then make use of Apple's facilities for protecting your phone:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
iCloud: Find My iPhone overview
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

IPad Syncing photos deleted all my app data

I had all my apps arranged, organized, and fully functional... I went to the Photos tab in iTunes to throw a few pics on my iPad, chose my folders to add, and clicked "Apply" at the bottom. The 'sync' then proceeded to REMOVE all my apps, without a proper backup. I had FOUR MONTHS of college notes in Pen Ultimate, and ALL my textbooks and reference materials in Good Reader... lost for good. *NOT HAPPY*
Why on earth would you not get a warning about whether you're sure you want to remove the apps and ALL DATA from your iPad or not? It seems that the "Apply" click used ALL the tabs' settings for its sync, not just the photos, and that having "Sync Apps" unchecked did me in.
I followed the steps to Restore from Backup (ctrl click iPad name, choose from menu)...The apps are reinstalled (but NO DATA WAS RESTORED)... I'm up a creek.
*Apple - make organization and data more protected in backup/sync!!! Add a warning about deleting apps and data!!!! One click to add some photos to my iPad has cost me months of school work - I'll have to talk to my teachers about what can be done so I don't FAIL my classes*

You can restore from iTunes or iCloud backup if you have one.
How do your backup to an external HDD?

Ts. It is in iCloud, but not in Yahoo. My iCloud Contacts had way more contacts, so I turned of contacts on my IPad and deleted them. I turned it back on and they were supposed to Sync.

I am trying to send an email. The contact is not in my list of Yahoo contacts. It is in iCloud, but not in Yahoo. My iCloud Contacts had way more contacts, so I turned off contacts on my IPad and deleted them. I turned it back on and they were supposed to Sync.

No. Change the passwords for all acounts used on the iPod.

Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.
