IPad Operating System and iTunes libraries consolidation
Two missions: First trying to consolidate multiple libraries within my family. Have iTunes on laptop (windows xp) with 55GB of music on it which is sync'ed with sons iPod and my iPod. Also have a iPad which my husband has bought a good amount of music on. Will I lose all of his purchases if I sync the iPad with my iTunes library? Should I burn CD's from his iPad (can you do this) then reimport them into my iTunes library??
Second mission: Because the iPad is older it needs a upgrade to the operating system and the only way I understand this can be done is through a sync with iTunes (newer versions allow this to be done on the iPad itself). It has never been connected to a computer.
THANKS Techie folks!!
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
You'll need to get the current media that exists only on the iPad into the iTunes library, back up, then restore that backup.

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

Just updated my Ipad operating system and one of my apps starts but then the screen turns white, with only the advertisment at the top showing
The normal suggestions.
Close the app,off fully. Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
Then reboot the pad and try the spp again. If same issue, delete the app, then reload it. ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy. If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update. I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.
Since yours is the ad supported version, they are maing real sure you see the ad. Is it as simple as you need to click thru the ad to get to the game? -
Can I restore my IPADs operating system and dump IOS7?
Like millions of other faithful IPAD owners, I too updated my system to ios7 last Wednesday. Immediately following the update, I no longer was able to operate many beloved apps. Can I restore my previous system and dump the ios7?
One of my favorite apps was Dish Network for IPAD. After the ios7 update, I was no longer able watch movies. Other apps such as PBS won't run either. I use some things on Dish and PBS for educational purposes in the classroom so the update has interfered with my personal and work usage. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck! -
reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
Help!See:

I would start with

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off" -

How can I get my iphone 4s to connct to my itunes? Says I need the 10.6.3 so I down loaded itunes 10.7 which tells me I need a 10.6.3 operating system and my mac is only a 10.5.8. What do I need to do?
You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first - if your Mac can run it:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
