IPad + iPadmini and iTunes

Is it possible to have an iPad AND an iPadmini without getting into trouble on iTunes on your iMac with syncing? Do they show up as two separate devices? How do you manage both of them from you iMac iTunes?

They will show as different devices and will be treated separately, so you can control which of your content goes on each separately. I sync an old iPad 1 and iPad 3 to the same iTunes and don't have any issues with syncing different content to them

  • Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
    This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
    What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
    Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
    Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
    Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
    Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
    Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

  • Bought a new iPad 2 and iTunes only includes Movies and Music tabs at the bottom of the screen, ie no TV Shows. If I search on the Store, say for Homeland I get albums, podcasts, etc everything but the actual TV show. Can anyone help.

  • IPad, iCal and iTunes sync problem

    Early last year, I posted (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18503738#18503738) that syncing between my iPad 3 and my Snow Leopard iMac behaved oddly.  AppleCare Support dweebs had failed to resolve the issue and no one on here managed to come up with any suggested fix.
    However, for no apparent reason, the problem stopped and I stopped monitoring this august and highly esteemed forum and all went well ...
    ... until recently.
    I sync via a USB cable and I do not use iCloud (as I'm on Snow Leopard) save for Find My iPad, all other iCloud options are switched off.  All other app syncing appears to work correctly, it is only iCal and Calendars that don't.
    Just why things have started to go wrong now, probably in the last three or four weeks, I do not know but now the following syncing errors occur ...
    1) On the iPad: new appointments or changes to appointments made on the iPad are not synced to the iMac;
    2) On the iMac, changes to appointments already on the iMac are shown on the iPad as both the new and old timings/details, not as replacements;
    3) On the iMac, new appointments are made in the default (or last) calendar used.  These are then edited as required, with the details put in and, if necessary, calendars changed.  On the iPad, however, these will show as both "New event" in the default calendar and as the edited correct appointment, not just as the finalised entry;
    4) Appointments deleted from the iMac are not deleted from the iPad.
    In other words, changes on the iPad are not synced across to the iMac and changes on the iMac are synced twice, once as the unedited appointment and once as the edited appointment - if an appointment is deleted it remains on the iPad.
    When the original problem arose (similar but not identical) the Apple dweebs suggested deleting my iCloud account (not synced, used only for Find My iPad) but doing that this time does not remove the bug.
    I'm running a 27" quad-core i7 iMac under MacOSX.6.8 (Build 10K549), iCal v4.0.4 (1395.7) and I sync via USB  and iTunes v11.0.2 (26).  The iPad is a 64GB 4G/wifi iPad 3, currently running under under iOS6.1.3.  To the best of my knowledge, all available updates have been applied to both devices.
    I have deleted all calendars off the iPad by deselecting Calendars in iTunes' iPad tab, turned it off.  Swicthed off the iMac, Safe Booted and run OnyX full suite, I have then Single User booted, run fsck -fy three times then run applejack AUTO restart, then rebooted the iMac, rebooted the iPad, sync'd without Calendars then resynced with the Calendars selected again.
    I had hoped that this would remove any cache files, temporary files, stuck RAM or whatever else could conceivably be causing this bizarre behaviour - to no bl**dy avail!  It is behaving exactly and frustratingly as before!
    What on earth is going on?  if I can't use my iPad as my main calendar and add new appointments when out and about and have them synced properly and reliably to my iMac then the whole thing is a waste of time andI shall have to revert to a paper diary again!
    HELP!!!!! Please, before I go mad with frustration!

    I'm not sure whether getting no replies to this (or the earlier) query is something of which to be proud - or terrified!
    Am I the only person in the world with this bizarre insoluble problem?  if so, why me?  Am I a Chosen One or, more likely, someone to be punished for a lifetime of misdeeds!
    But there is progress.  I have no idea what happened at a technical level or why, but the matter has now resolved itself and things are syncing normally.  Until the next time!
    Perhaps there is a clue somewhere in the following ...
    I run my iMac 24/7 and thus I rarely close iCal on the iMac and when i do it is usually by accident.  The same applies to Calendars on the iPad, although I do reboot from time to time.
    Anyway, I installed some software on the iMac which required a reboot and, as susual, iCal opened via Preferences > Accounts > Startup items - only this time I was presented with a perfectly blank calendar.  A message appeared, from within iCal (oh, how I wish i had noticed what it actually said) saying something along the lines of "importing calendars".  This took a little while and it wasn't instant - maybe it does this every time it reatrts but too fast for me to notice.
    After this "import", if indeed that's what it was, the syncing was corrected!
    Coincidence?  Cause and effect?  Magic?  Too many magic mushrooms for breakfast?
    If that is what resolved the issue, then how can I cause an import deliberately for when the syncing goes astray again and just what does an "import" do that a normal launch doesn't and which might have resolved the glitch?
    I have had this "import" message before, but very very rarely, so it may well have resolved the syncing issue last time and I just didn't make the possible connection.
    Does that help anyone come to my rexcue with an explanation and, possibly, a strategy for preventing or deliberatly correcting syncing issues in the future?

  • How to transfer music from PC to my iPad mini and iTunes Store app issue

    I am new with IPad mini, and have issues with music on device:
    A) I wonder whether I can transfer music from PC to device (A 1432) and

    hope someone will help so I can finally have some music on device.
    Thanks!

    Thanks a lot Ralph9430!
    I did manage to solve problem of music transfer iPad mini-PC, however I didn't succeed in approaching iTunes Store and there is nothing in the manual about it.
    When I open application I have iTunes U interface and cannot move anywhere but close app. I did try to re -enter pass and ID in iTunes Store app settings but nothing changed.
    Does anyone have any idea what to do in order to have approach to ITunes Store.

  • Home sharing not working (iOS 6, iPad 3 and iTunes 10.7)

    Trying to stream video from iMac to iPad via home sharing no longer works since iOS 6 upgrade. Video app on iPad sees the library but gets stuck connecting to it. Music app says "unable to turn on home sharing".
    I've tried restarting iTunes, turning off home sharing (and on again) and rebooting iPad, all to no avail.
    Don't want to go to the trouble of downgrading but need this to work!

  • VGA IPAD connection and itunes movie streaming

    Using a vga connection between my ipad and samsung television, can I stream a movie from itunes so that it displays on the television?

    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad

  • Updated itunes to use ipad mini and itunes wont start up now?

    i have a ipad3 + iphone4 + ipod touch and just brought ipad mini pluged it into itunes then itunes says have to update to use with ipad mini so i updated it like normal restarted pc and now doesnt work try reinstalling and repairing files still didnt work any ideas?

    If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
    I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
    Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
    To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
    type
    networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
    and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
    I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
    networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
    Thanks Apple for that.

  • HT4623 Hi I have an Ipad 2 and itunes needs to be updated but, in settings / General   there is not sign saying software where do I go from there. help?

    I need help with the settings, General to update my itunes, but there is no word saying software, for me to start the process.  Also, need help syncing my music to my Ipad.  help?

    That option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off it via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    For syncing music to the iPad's Music app, select the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it.

  • IPad Camera and iTunes

    This subject has been discussed in several areas. I just wanted to add that when I connect my iPad my WinXP brings up a note asking what to use to open pictures on the iPad. I just cancel this and when sync is completed in iTunes all looks fine. This just began to happen. I believe it has something to do with the pictures on the iPad. Outside of that I do not see any problem. Everything works as it did before this annoying question came up.

    As you've got a photo/picture in Saved Photos the camera wizard pops-up in case you want to tranfer it/them to your computer. If you don't want it popping up then you can switch it off : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1857

  • IPad Switzerland and iTunes store restrictions

    Hello,
    I have just bought myself a iPad 32g wifi and I'm a bit disappointed. I can't seem to even access the area to rent a movie or tv show. Does Switzerland restrict all movies? Is there any other way I can rent movies or do I have to live in the US. Sadly the guy at the shop had all the shows on his iPad and that was in Zurich when selling it to me at the apple store, if there is an alternative way to access movies or tv shows i would be grateful,
    Thanks in advance.

    Media licensing varies from country to country, and it makes it very confusing. I'm sure because Apple is a US based company (and the the CEO of Apple also happens to sit on the board of the large media company in the US), the US got a big head start on the quantity and quality of content. Even though Europe is as large as the US, there are numerous levels of licensing, which must be frustrating to both Apple and to the consumer. So Switzerland's licensing regulations and how much content is available is probably a lot different than in neighboring countries like Germany or Italy. I doubt your country restricts movies, but it is possible, you need to check your country's regulations. But my guess is that the licensing arrangements are still being negotiated between Apple and the various companies.
    There are ways around the licensing restrictions, but you need to have a valid credit card located in another country. You can change the iTunes Store country by going into your iTunes account, enter your password, and change country. Maybe you have a close family member in Germany or France, and they have better iTunes content (depending on which language you speak).
    I hope this helps, but I know there's no really good solution.

  • I need to restore my frozen ipad 2 and Itunes won't reconize it.

    My ipad 2 is frozen with a black screen and an iTunes app I need to restore it but iTunes wont recognize it.

    I have a similar problem, but it began when i installed iTunes 10.5.2.11 on my windows 7 computer and tried to install the latest update to ipad2 software.  Prior to installing the new itunes, i had been able to sync with itunes easily and as expected.
    After installing the new version of iTunes - the ipad2 began to act strangely:
    it did not charge correctly even when connected to OEM power adapter ("not charging" message appeared when plugged in)... this still appears to be an issue, though it does not happen all the time.
    the computer no longer recognizes the ipad device (i have tried different cables and it does recognize my ipod nano)
    i am afraid to reset the ipad for fear that i will still not be able to connect afterwards and i will have lost all the apps currently installed.
    Any hints on how to go about fixing this issue?
