I want to update my ipad into ios5 how can i backup my ipad apps and song?

please help me how can i backup my ipad apps and songs thank you...

To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5 on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5 installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases - that will copy off your apps and iTunes bought music, films (not rentals if they were bought directly on the iPad), tv show, ibooks, but it won't copy off music bought from other stores or music copied from your own CDs (if they are no longer on your computer then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad).
You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
If iTunes doesn't prompt you to update to iOS 5.0.1 on your iPad, then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.

However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

Want to update my iPad apps but my iPad is not able to connect to iTunes store.

want to update certain apps....but when it starts updating it say that it cannot connect to iTunes store.

You have to be running iOS 5 in order to update via the iPad settings. You are running 4.3. You will have to update via the latest version of iTunes on a computer. After you update to iOS 5.1.1, you will be able to do OTA updates from the settings on the iPad.

I crashed my hard drive and want to copy my iPad apps and music to my new computer instead of overwriting the iPad. How?

I crashed my hard drive on my laptop and had it replaced. I lost most of the data.
When I sync my ipad or iphone, it wants to overwrite those devices. I want to copy back the apps, music and photos to iTunes on the laptop.
Can this be done?
Thanks.

If this external drive is a boot drive (has the OSX on it), you can swap it into your MBP or use Disk Utility>Restore to clone the data to the internal MBP HDD.

How can I backup my iPhone 3Gs and install iOS 5 when my PowerMac G3 cannot update to the latest iTunes?

I have a PowerMac G3 that's running Tiger OS 10.4.11, iTunes 8.2.1, a Mac mini running Lion 10.7.3, and iTunes 10.5.3. My iPhone is a 3Gs with IOS 4.3.5 and was originally synced to the PowerMac G3. I went to back up my iPhone so that I could install IOS 5 but when I plugged the iPhone into the G3, I got the message saying that I have to download the latest iTunes. The phone wasn't even recognized. What do I need to do at this point? I'm getting pretty frustrated at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone... :-)

Couple of possabilities,
1 - As Andea says, use the MacMini but start a new backup from your 3Gs iPhone, so that you can restore if the upgrade to IOS 5 goes pear shaped. A backup doesn't hold your Apps, Music or Movies, just the settings and App data etc.
2 - Copy your entire iTunes folder from the G3 to the Mini, then when you want to sync the iPhone all the music etc. can be kept in sync as before.
Not sure if you sync your address book, iCal and e-mail from iTunes or via the Cloud, if the former you'd need to put a copy of these also on the Mini

HT204088 My child has downloaded a game that I do not want on any of our devices. How do I delete the game app and block it from being downloaded again

That didn't help. I want to completely delete the game from the store so it can not be reinstalled again

The only way your child could have installed an app from the App Store is that he or she has access to your Apple ID and your administrator account. Give the child his own standard user account, and change the passwords.
To delete the downloaded app, drag it to the Trash. You may be prompted for your password.

I am trying to purchase a free app from the apple store. But, It says that i must update my payment information. How can I purchase the free app without doing the process and acredit card?

I don't understand why it is asking for billing details for the purchase of a free app. do not have a credit card handy.

If you didn't setp your iTunes account, from the beginning, without a credit card, you'll have to either add a credit card to your account or redeem an iTunes gift card, regardless of whether the app is free or not.

How can I receive all my apps, pics, etc. from iCloud to put on my new iPad?

I was unable to get anything from iCloud when initially setting up my iPad. How can I get all my apps and etc, from iCloud now that I already have my iPad set-up.. I know I have to get it thru iTunes but how do I go about it from iTunes. Please help kinda of confused here. Also do I need to do it from a computer or can I set it up right from my iPad?

If you want to restore from your iCloud backup you actually have to erase the device and start all over again - but I think you are aware of that.
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings. That totally wipes the iPad and forces you to start all over again and then you can restore from the iCloud backup when prompted to do so.
Unfortunately you cannot restore this way unless you are connected to WiFi. Cellular will not work, because celluar does not work until the iPad is activated and so you are in a vicious cycle with no way out until you have WiFi.
Can you go to a library or anywhere that has free WiFi - or a friends house - and activate the iPad there? You just have to go somewhere to get an Internet connection via WiFi now.

How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?

Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do I do?

Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do i do?!

The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID. First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes. Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed. If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID. Then, connect the iPad. Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice. Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated. Post back and we'll go from there.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Hey , why always when i want to update my Ipad to ios 6.1.3 at the end tills me that the update was failed , its always ,please if you can help me, and thank you.

Try disabling your firewall and antivirus software and see if that helps - if you are trying to update using iTunes on your computer.

HT4623 I want to update my iPad

I want to update my iPad to the current operating system from 4.3.3. When I go to settings and then general I don't see an update option. Please advise. Thanks

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
