IPad Set Up without a PC or Mac
Just bought my first Apple product, an iPad 2. My work laptop is restricting me from downloading iTunes, which I require to set up my iPad. How do I set up my iPad? Is my only option going to an Apple Store? Will I have to do this many times or just once, and occasionally for OS update? Thanks
Currently you need a computer with the latest iTunes to activate, maintain and backup your iPad and install new iOS updates. They can set it up for you initially at the Apple store so you can use it right out of the store....but all of your content is managed through iTunes on your personal computer. The Apple store you bought it from will unlikely let you go back and synch and manage your iPad again.
Looking forward a couple of years it's expected that users iTunes will be stored " in the cloud" so perhaps at that time they will release in iPad that does not require a hook up to a computer....but that's a ways down the road.

Any way to update iPad to ios5 without connecting to PC / Mac?
My iPad 1 stopped showing up in iTunes on all my Macs and PCs two weeks ago. After spending days and nights going through all possible solutions, I gave up and assume that it's a faulty dock connector (and no more warranty). It would be nice to get iOS 5 as I could then sync iTunes through wifi.
Any suggestions?
ThanksMine did the same thing and the USB port on the iPad had died. Fortunately mine was only a couple of months old so Best Buy exchanged it for a new one. If you've replicated it with multiple USB cords, multiple chargers and multiple computers then the USB/Docking port is about the only thing left.
You can see if Apple can repair it (and it's more than a year old i'm guessing since you said it was out of warranty)
Beyond that I'm thinking you're just out of luck. You can try taking it to an apple store and see what they say.

When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.
Thanks very much for the instructions. I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately. When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

Whenever I try to move just one song from my iTunes library to my iPad, it will start syncing like 300 other songs randomly so I cancel everything. I have my iPad set to manually manage music but it still does that. And what's worse, I never get that one song I chose in the first place. The same thing with photos. I'll sync a photo and it starts syncing music as well. But at least I get the photo just fine.
Easy solution when on itunes simply go to the music tab and press on music library then browse what file which contains the music you want to be added same with photos

I can update data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, and from my iPhone to my Mac and iPad, but cannot get data to update from my iPad to either my Mac or my iPhone.
If new calendar events entered on your iPad do not appear on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPad and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad to your calendar on icloud.com. Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date with your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a 15 seconds or so, turn Calendars back to On. Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now, and on your other devices. -
IPad cannot backup without a verified email address--LOCKED
Message pops up after lock screen that says:
"iPad cannot backup without a verified email address"
with the options of LATER and SETTINGS. I usually select LATER button and move on. This time it is locked up. I tried a hard rest by pressing the home button and power/ sleep button but nothing happens.
I have not setup an iCloud account, and have not set up to sync with a Mac or PC.
Please help.Thanks JimHdk,
Can't get to the settings due to the error message. It will not allow me to select an option.
I do believe that a hard reset is the answer, and i am able to go through to the black out screen, but the Apple logo is not coming up.
If I am unable to accmplish a hard reset today I may just have to make an appointment at the genius bar. -
I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas. is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?
Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?
Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple? -
Back in 2012 I took out a 1 month zoosk subscription through my ipad and quickly found that it auto-renewed after the first month. I contacted zoosk and asked them to cancel the subscrip. They said they couldnt do it and I had to cancel the subscript via my apple ID and manage subscritpions in ipad setting. So I did this and the ipad showed me my subscription had been cancelled. I thought all was well and good. until by accident I noticed this week on my bank statement I have a charge of £22.74. After a little more investigation I founf that this has been the case for the last two years. I logged into zoosk which has confirmed my subscription was never cancelled and I have been paying £22.74 for the last two years.
I have contacted apple itunes about this and have not heard a anything bird form them. I have also contacted zoosk several times and still heard nothing. I now have the fraud team from my bank investigating! It seems that apple want no part in protecting us from these sites...
I advise you now, PLEASE WHAT EVER YOU DO DONT TAKE OUT A SUBSCRIPTION WITH ZOOSK. THE GIRLS ARE EITHER EASTERN EUROPEAN FAKERS USING THE SITE OR JUST PLAIN FAKE PROFILES AND THE COMPANY ARE FRAUDSTERS! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!As I told you in the other thread, you have to file the claim with the Small Claims Court now. You only have just over a month to file the claim (Limitation Act 1980: 6 years for England and Wales, 5 for Scotland, so if you are in Scotland, you have effectively lost your 1st year's amount).
Your amount is below the limit of £5000 and you can easily file the claim online. You said you have a book keeper, so I assume you will have all the paperwork on hand/filed away nicely. This will make your case easy to prove. You are not only allowed to claim the amount taken unlawfully from you (the mods here do not like the word stolen), but also your court fees and an 8% PA interest on the amount. You can also claim other costs in trying to recover your money from BT; for exampe a "reasonable" amount of money for your time, phone charges to BT, postage if you wrote to them, cost of paper, ink, etc...
Note that legal fees are not claimable in the small claims court, but you can easily find help on how to fight without legal representation elsewhere on the internet. Do not worry about not having legal representation if the case does go to court, the Small Claims Court is design for "little people" to fight the bullies.
Good luck and you will feel great when the cheque arrives (ask me how I know!). -
Books and pdf on IPad don't appear in IBooks on MAC
I've read through several solutions to this similar problem and none of the solutions work for me. I've uploaded several ebooks to my mac and they don't appear on the IPad. I've got content (PDF's) on my ipad that doesn't appear on my mac. For example, I've purchased 14 books that appear in the "cloud" and available for download on the Ipad but the purchases in Itunes show 2. I've updated my ipad, mac, ibook and itunes on both devices.
I've had my mac for 6 months and absolutely HATE it. I thought I'd be able to use it to work with files on the Ipad and that has yet to happen. I was hoping to have access to content across devices and that's not happening. At this point I'm feeling very disappointed in Apple products. I've even been to the Apple store and after 3 support people, they couldn't figure it out either.
I'm hoping someone here will know how to fix this.
thanksWhat are the other solutions that you've tried ? As you don't say what you've tried I don't know whether you've done the following or not.
ebooks and/or PDFs that you've added to the iBooks app on your Mac will not show on your iPad unless you sync them to it, only ibooks bought from the iBookstore will potentially show in the cloud in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading on it. If not all of your ibook purchases are showing in your Mac's iTunes or iBooks apps (I'm assuming that you have Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac) then try logging out and back into your account on it and see if they then show.
If you are using the 'sync collections' setting in Settings > iBooks on your iPad and in the iBooks app on your Mac then that does not copy books and/or PDFs between devices/computers, all it does is if you put a book/PDF into a collection on, say, your iPad, then if it is also in your Mac's iBooks app then it will be moved into the same collection on that - but if a book or PDF is not already on it then it won't copy it onto it.
If you want the PDFs (and/or epubs) that are in your iPad's iBooks app to also be on your Mac then you need to connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes, do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your Mac's iTunes, and then in the iBooks app on your Mac do File > Move Books From iTunes to move them into it.
Similarly to get PDFs and/or epubs from your Mac to your iPad, connect the iPad to your Mac, select it in your Mac's iTunes, and use its Books tab to select and sync the books/epubs that you want in its iBooks app. -
Deploying a Flex iPad App wirelessly without registering a device's UIUD
Hi
Is there any information or step by step guide to building and deploying a Flex iPad app wireless, without registering the device's ID? Is this possible with Flex? We do have an iOS Developer Enterprise Program license. Every set of instructions from a Flex point of view that I have read assume that either 1) The release build will be deployed through iTunes or 2) the release build will be deployed to device who's ID are registered on the Apple dev center. Any help would be appreciated.
The problem is that when attempting to install the app on a device that is not registered on the apple site, an error occurs stating that the app was unable to download/install.Hi Emanuele,
In your case, SUP would provide the development tools, framework and APIs to easily handle the authentication, synchronization etc. You wouldn't need to define your own synchronization mechanism, it's in the product. Now if the updates are only sent from the server to the mobile devices, this shouldn't be to difficult to handle even without SUP.
You could easily create REST Web Services using Gateway and then consume them using the mobile devices. You don't want to consume SOAP Web Services using a mobile application, trust me. You could do this using the ICF (Internet Communication Framework) to achieve this but again it would be easier with Gateway.
You don't necessarily need SUP or Gateway to create only a simple mobile application. But then if your customer is happy with their first mobile application, they'll want more. And then products such as SUP or Gateway can make the difference. These products prodvide a standard development environment, tools to manage the apps and the users etc. With multiple mobile apps connected to multiple back-ends with more and more users, you'll need a middleware to manage all this and make sure the performance is great.
Usually people don't use SUP or Gateway for their first mobile application but then they start to see the benefits of mobility and they want more. And then they start to realize the benefits of these products and they understand that a real mobile strategy has to be defined etc.
Regards,
Pierre -
How to add extra options for style of images. iPad version has far more options than Mac version
How to add extra options for style of images in pages. iPad version has far more options than Mac version
Thank you, you made me go look again and I realised the ones I use on the iPad are under Borders not style and they are on Mac also. I feel a bit silly but I wouldn't have got there without your prompting. Do you mean by "create your own" using the borders and then saving as a style or can you create something that is not in either?
Thanks again -
Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub
Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub. I'm using 10.7.3 on MacBook Pro. Don't care what model bizhub is being used as I have access to many. I've seen the posts for FTP workarounds but want to use SMB if that is an option. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I've read other discussions that have suggested changing the format of the username and password when having login problems. I'm not familiar with NT-Status Codes. Could changing the format of the username make any difference? Something like... "workgroup/username" or "username@domain" or "domain/username" or some other combination of workgroup, domain, username, computername.
The issue has nothing to do with the format of the user authentication. What you are reading is about the Lion Mac connecting to a Windows computer that is part of domain or workgroup. The method changed slightly compared to Snow Leopard.
KM does support FTP so that is still an option, but I would ideally would like to set up SMB scanning. I'm not sure if KM is going to support AFP anytime soon.
With the lack of SMB support and KM offering no alternative at this stage then I suggest you look at using FTP. While Lion removed the option to enable FTP via the Sharing pane in System Preferences, it can still be enabled via Terminal using the following command
sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
You will be prompted to authenticate using your Mac's admin account & password. Once this is done, you can then configure the address on the copier to push scan using FTP. The keys are;
The host name requires just the IP address. No leading slashes like SMB
The path will be the folder that you want to scan to, also entered without a leading slash. For example, Desktop
The user name will be the short name of the account who's folder you want to scan to.
The only other option may be WebDAV if the KM supports it. We have this with our imageRUNNER ADVANCE and with a document scanned to a shared folder in the copier hard drive, we can then connect to that folder by using Finder's > Go > Connect to Server facility. You then just enter
http://ipaddress/share
which connects you to the shared folder and lets you see the document you scanned. You also have the facility to set subfolders for security of users documents.
