If I backup my game apps. And upload to a new Ipad will the progess I have made in the games be uploaded, or will i have to start games over

Good morning. My son's Ipad needs to be replaced the man at the store said that I should go download everything we have on the ipad. My son is very concerned that his progress in games like Skylanders and JetPack, including upgrades and completed missions will be lost. Is that true? Will we have to start over?
Thankyou

Apps from the iTunes store are always available for re-download for free. The progress for these games is part of the backup file for the iPad, so connect the iPad to your computer and perform a backup (which should happen each time you sync, or if you backup to iCloud you can force a local backup to the computer from iTunes). If you normally backup to iCloud, that's fine too. When he gets the new iPad, select the backup done on the current iPad and then let all the apps load up onto the new iPad (the backup directs iTunes on what to install). Be sure to select the prior backup, otherwise he'll be starting from scratch.

How do I save everything on my apps and transfer to a new iPad?

Need help!! I want to get a new iPad but need to transfer all the info on my current iPad apps (e.g. goodreader, keynote, etc). How can I do it without losing anything/everything? How can I also ensure that my iPad is "empty" before I give away?
Separate inquiry...because many of us use this iPad, Is there also a way to transfer the information we have under one iTunes account into another?
Thank you for your help!

First, sync and backup the ipad to both itunes on a computer and icloud if possible. You can restore the new ipad from the old ipad backup. You can download any previously purchased and downloaded account by signing into the account used to access the content and download again from the 'purchased' tab on your ipad.

All my husbands contacts, apps and music downloaded on new iPad

Just bought a new iPad and when I set it up in iTunes under my account I'd it pulled in all my husbands stuff. How do I prevent that from happening when I buy a new iPhone?

Do not use your husbands account for iCloud. Of course you could set up your new device using two separate Apple IDs: one for iCloud (it should be yours and would include services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts etc.) and one for iTunes & App Store purchases (could be yours or any other Apple ID).

I am trying to download a game app and it is just frozen saying it is waiting how can I just cancel it?

I am trying to download a game app and it is frozen says waiting. How do I cancel it?

If you are downloading multiple apps then they will download one at a time. If it's just the one app that you are downloading (and you're using wifi if it's over the 20 meg limit for 3G), then try a reset and see if it resumes loading after the iPad has restarted : ress and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade to get the latest game apps and such?

You probably can't. Many games and other apps now require iOS 4.3 or later, and iOS 4.2.1 is the last version that will run on a 2nd-gen iPod touch. If you want to run newer games, you'll need a newer iPod. If you want to look for games that will run on your iPod, here's a tip from another user that may help you:
"I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1. What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below.
I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest. I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on). Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1.
This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."

The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Downloaded Air Supremacy game app and only get company logo or a black screen before the app closes and goes back to my home screen. Checked that iPad and game are latest versions of software and restarted the iPad still with no luck. Any suggestions.

Have you tried a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include media like app and music.

What to do with between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. thanks

I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks

Is this a new iPhone?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all.

Hi I want to attach word documents to yahoo mail app and some job portals using iPad I don't know how to attach it can u ppl help me thru this issue

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.
