IPad 2 restore music
hi there
new guy here
I have an iPad 2 running ios 6.0, the other day my laptop was stolen out of my car
i got a replacment from insurance but my problem is how do i get all my old music and pictures off the ipad and onto my laptop?
the pictures arent a huge problem as i have already emailed most of them to myself but I realy need to get my music. when i plug it into the laptop it wants me to delete everything off it before i can sync it to the pc
please help
As you have discovered, iTunes is designed to sync one way
There is an app to help with this, but your device is not designed to do it the way you need
Or you can pay for iTunes Match
This will save, all you music to the cloud (if you bought it of iTunes or not) then when you sign in with the same apple I'd on the new machine you can sync right back from the cloud - all at 256 Kbps. Regardless of what they were ripped/ bought at

Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?
So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to. -
My ipod touch won't turn on and I have tried the reset button n home button a few times, it still won't work. So, I'm thinking of upgrading to Ipad but I do not want to lose my files from Ipod Touch. My question is, will all the files I have synced up to date be transfered over to the Ipad? My music, movies and photo files. Thanks
Follow the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements.
It needs some charge to get anywhere at all - that is addressed in Step 3:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the iPod.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the iPod in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If this procedure doesn't work, you have done all you can and only Apple may be able to help. Have them look at it while you shop for your iPad -
Ok, I have deleted EVERYTHING off my 16gb ipad. Photos, music, apps. All I have are the standard apps. It says I have used 11gb and only have 1.6 left. When I first bought it I had up to 4 movies and lots of apps, no problems. What's going on please!?

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Help updated my ipad with IOS 7.0.4. It asks me what language, chooses my wi-fi and then asks.........1 - set up as a new ipad, 2 - restore from iclouds or 3 - restore from itunes but won't restore as not enough memory! What do I do now?
I don't want to lose all my pics, songs etc
Whats my next move as I CANNOT use the ipas at the moment!!!!!!!!Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

I have a large music library on my iPad, that is not currently on iCloud or on my main PC. If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will the music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud? Or will I loose all that music?

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?
Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
Try this.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

I have my iTunes library on my home PC, which is linked to my iPad 2 for music etc. I also have an iPhones 4S, which I would also like to pick up the music from my library, is this possible ?
Hello chickenrob,
Indeed, this can be done with Home Sharing. The article linked below details how to set it up.

Syncing movies on iPad without removing music and books?
I have an iPad loaded with music, books, apps and some movies, which I normally sync to my iMac. I am travelling and have a laptop with some movies that I want to sync to my iPad. Even if I just select the movies though and don't select any other sync'ing, the preview bar at the bottom of my iTunes shows all music and books being removed from my iPad. Is this the case, or is there a way to sync just the movies but keep all other existing media on my iPad (I know from the dialog box that all my existing movies on my iPad will be removed, which is fine but I want to keep the music and books on there).
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. As soon as I check the box to sync films, it tells me it will remove all the existing films on my iPad. This is fine and I'm happy to proceed but then the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes shows no music or books on my iPad. I do not have either the Music or Books sync boxes checked so it shouldn't be touching either of those areas and yet they both seem affected. I haven't tried running the sync as I am travelling and if those are removed, I won't be able to fix until I'm back home.

How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app with effecting icloud music?
My music was taking up too much space so I joined itunes match, but the 6 gigs of my music is still on my ipad. How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app without affecting icloud music? I clicked to replace all music with icloud music. They both appear in Music and I don't see anywhere to remove all downloaded music. If I delete all music, I fear it will delete all music in iCloud. I assumed by joining iTunes Match that I would get the 6 gigs back for other items since my music should be on iCloud now. If that is not the case then I need to get my $ back for Match.
Removing music from an iOS device does not remove it from the cloud.
Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE. -
