IPad Syncing Question

Hello! Okay, hypothetically speaking, say you brought a television show on your computer on iTunes, which you then synced to your iPad. My question is: If your computer went kaput before you could save the files, but it was on your iPad. If you then connected to your computer, would it download the episodes on the computer, or would it not due to copyright? Thank you in advance.    

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone. The computer must be authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes that was used to purchase/download the iTunes content.

  • Ipad sync question

    I had my iPad synced to a pc that I lost. I now have a new PC but I can NOT lose these contacts on the iPad when I sync to the new computer. How can I sync and be sure I lose nothing?

    Hi!
    If you would have the old PC you could copy the iTunes library to new PC but that's not a option here.
    I have friend who's Windows laptop HDD stopped working and we all know how easy it is to keep good backups from Windows =). But I followed these instruction and it worked.

    But if I remember right you can do full backup of your iPad with iTunes even if it's not synced with that PC so BACKUP EVERYTHING before you start.
    I recomend Apple machine and TimeMachine. Bulletproof

  • IPad sync question. First time and update.

    Sorry if this is already out there. I looked.
    I just hooked up my iPad to the computer for the first time. I didn't have a computer capable of syncing before. I have had the iPad for several months. I was looking to upgrade the software. It went through the sync and then when I went to upgrade it, it said there were purchased items that were on the ipad that would be lost in the upgrade and should I continue. I'm not sure what items they are or how to get them over to my itunes library. I thought the sync did that.
    Thanks for your help.  Dave

  • IPad sync question regarding Email.

    After synching, shouldn't things like drafts copy from IMac to IPad?
    How can I resolve this?
    Thanks.

    No. Only email account info (server, username, etc.) is sync'd.
    Emails are not sync'd.

  • IPad Mini 2 and iPhone 5s message syncing question

    My friend and I were on vacation in Japan over the last two weeks. He took his Verizon iPhone 5s with him to Japan, but left his iPad Mini at home. While in Japan, his nephew sent him a text message. It was received on the iPad Mini which had service, but not on the iPhone which did not have service in Japan. The Verizon phones apparently aren't compatible with the cell systems in Japan. He never connected it to wifi either which was an option. My question is should the messages received on the iPad sync once he has returned home? My thought is that they would not, but I wondered if anyone had a definitive answer.

    What are you trying to accomplish? Connecting a phone to a Mac is only supported for tethering.

  • In Apple Configurator, can I set up different sets of iPads with different apps loaded? Or will all iPads synced with Configurator be required to have the same build?

    In Apple Configurator, can I set up different sets of iPads with different apps loaded? Or will all iPads synced with Configurator be required to have the same build?

    Hi jshira86,
    You can definitely have different sets of iPads with different apps loaded. When you "supervise" your iPads, you will see that on the left side of the Configurator window there is a "+" sign in the lower left corner. Click it to create a new device group. With this new device group you can choose what apps and configuration profiles you want to install on that group of iPads. Create as many groups as you want to customize the apps and profiles you want on them.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Will selecting 'Delete Account' in iCloud setting on iPad delete the AppleID account, or just delete it from the iPad in question?

    Will selecting ‘Delete Account’ in iCloud settings on iPad delete the AppleID account entirely, or will it just delete the AppleID from the iPad in question?
    I am trying to resolve a problem where someone tried to set up a second iPad on the same Apple ID account. I have partially solved the problem by creating a new Apple ID for the second iPad, but when I went to change the iCloud setting, my only option to change it was the 'Delete Account' button. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to accidentally delete the old Apple ID account because the fist iPad still needs to sync to that ID.

    From the iPhone only.

  • IPad syncing with new installation

    I've had my iPad synced with my Mac Pro running Leopard since I've had it.
    For one reason or another I've never got around to updating to Snow Leopard despite having a disc partly as I had some incompatible apps, partly as the Leopard system has been pretty stable.
    The other day I decided it was time to change to Snow Leopard but removed the Leopard boot drive rather than upgrading, and stuck in a new drive and did a 'fresh' install on that from the DVD.
    Gradually recreating an iTunes library on the new drive by adding media files.
    Clearly this iTunes instance has never seen the iPad before, but my question is will I be able to connect and backup current iPad installation to this effectively new computer or should I swap the Leopard drive back in to do this?
    Also if I run into problems will I still be able to restore an older backup from the Leopard drive?
    BTW I generally manually add media files to the iPad, and assume they might disappear if I sync with a new iTunes instance even if I disable automatic syncing in iTunes?
    Thanks in advance?

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    My older itunes folder/library was in a bit of a mess so I wanted to start with a clean slate and repopulate from scratch, weeding out rubbish. I have media spread out on loads of smaller drives some of which does not have correct metadata as I haven't added it, so taking the opportunity to spring clean/tidy up.

  • How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

    I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author.  The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues.  We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts.  I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
    Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

    Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    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 - let go of the buttons.

  • Can't make ipad sync apps to new computer's iTunes

    I have a slightly strange problem. In Sept 2012, I got a MacBook to replace a Windows laptop. I transferred all my itunes music across and used 'transfer purchases' from my Ipod Touch to transfer all the apps to the itunes on the mac so I could keep all my apps. I then ticked the 'sync apps' box, and synced and everything works wonderfully, all my apps are still there etc and I can download them from the app store etc on the ipod.
    However, when I did this with my iPad 2, it never changed from syncing with the old laptop. Under iTunes wifi sync on the ipad, music,movies,podcasts, books and tones are synced with the new macbook, and for some reason apps, itunes U and movies are synced with my old laptop. I can't download any new apps or music on the ipad from the itunes app/appstore app either (the buttons just don't do anything). Nor can I seem to, no matter how hard I try, make the ipad sync apps with the new macbook. The apps themselves work just as they ever used to.
    I understand with itunes 11 the 'sync apps' button has gone, so I tried transferring purchases and then syncing, to no avail. All my apps show up in the corect position under the 'apps' tab, but they just won't sync.
    I have some access to the old laptop, but it is 200 miles away and I can't access it for several weeks at least. There's nothing in the apps themselves that is absolutely vital for me to keep (although obviously it'd be annoying to lose all the data stored in them, such as game saves).
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Pippa
    Edit: Strangely, I can now get it to delete apps, by deleting them from the apps tab on iTunes, it goes all the way through the sync, but finds an app to sync (generally just one), gets halfway through that then cancels the sync. However, it has deleted the app I selected for deletion from the ipad. I still can't downalod anything from the itunes app.

    Oddly, I've now (through repeatedly trying to sync the ipad) got the apps to now sync to my ipad according to thw wifi sync menu on the ipad. However, the sync still cancels halfways through. It attemps to sync between 1-20 songs that aren't on my ipad (cause it hasn't been syncing) and then gives up and "cancelling sync" appears.
    Each time the number of songs left to sync is fewer and fewer, but I can't deal with an ipad that can only sync 5 songs per sync cycle. There's no reason given as to why it cancelled the sync, and none of the apps sync.

  • IPad syncing issues

    Have two issues when syncing my iPad:
    1) iTunes thinks my iPhone and iPad are one and the same device, so when I sync my iPad, iTunes adds the new apps that I have on my iPhone.
    2) When I sync my iPad my iTunes U programs are erased. This happens whether or not I download them through the iPad or add them via iTunes. Other videos (movies, t.v. shows or podcasts) are not removed.
    By the way, I have the "Manually manage music and videos" checked for both my iPhone and iPad.

    Does the iPad sync with iTunes? With my iPhone – if I purchase a song or video on my phone – it syncs with iTunes and copies my iPhone purchases to iTunes under "Purchased on iPhone." However, on my iPad nothing that was purchased on the iPad syncs to iTunes. Why? is that normal?
    In addition, Apple needs to add the function to stream iTunes to the iPad like it does between Macs. I should be able to purchase a video on my Mac and stream it to my iPad and watch it.
    Edit: Just to clarify. I can't add any music, podcasts or videos from my iTunes library without erasing the movies that I purchased on my iPad. Since I can't sync them I assume they will be permanently lost.

  • IPad syncing problem - HELP!

    iPad sync problem - HELP!  I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)"  and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad.  This just started today.  I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help.  Any ideas??? 
    I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it...  should I? 
    thank you!

  • IPad syncing issue

    I am having issues with my iPad syncing.
    1. It's an iPad gen 2. OS is up to date, running properly and it connects to my computer and iTunes.
    2. I am on Windows 8 and my iTunes is up to date.
    I have a new computer and thought that I had sync'd it before but I may not have. I am not sure if it is a windows 8 issue or not. And if it is, how to resolve.
    When I connect and try to sync it recognizes the iPad and goes through the steps but when it comes to the actual syncing doesn't. It just stops. I have transfered purchased songs from the iPad to iTunes and these show in my library, but doesn't seem to want to sync the other way from iTunes to the iPad.
    Not sure what else to do? I have read most of the links others have provided but doesn't answer the issue I am having.
    Help?
    Thanks!

  • IPad syncing issues getting on my nerves... suggestions?

    When I first got my iPad 3G 64GB, I decided to sync as a new device and auto sync apps. Okay, but that put 22 pages of apps on my device and I was forced to spend at least a couple hours culling them down to just to fit the ones I want on the iPad... about 160.
    Spent a good portion of the day yesterday filling up my iPad with comics and movies, and suddenly it gave a sync error. ***. So I try syncing and it recognizes it as a new iPad again, and deletes all my movies and tv shows. double ***.
    Then I notice the syn apps tab is getting ready to put every single app back on my iPad once again, all 22 pages worth, so I hit the check box and stopped the sync apps function. It asks me if I want to delete all 160 apps, and of course I say no.
    So then it goes to back up. A couple hours later it finishes, and this morning when I go to sync again, the syn apps box is empty, so now my apps won't sync properly. triple ***.
    Is there anyway to fix this without putting everything back onto my iPad and deleting all the hours of work I spent on putting the comics there? How do I get the iPad to understand "yeah... well, I really DO want to sync apps, but don't add the unchecked apps in the list and put them on my device again... and don't delete the ones already there and replace with the whole setup all over again?"

    Okay, but that put 22 pages of apps on my device and I was forced to spend at least a couple hours culling them down to just to fit the ones I want on the iPad... about 160.
    Did you do this by deselecting the apps under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, which removes the deselected apps from your iPad, or did you remove the apps direct from your iPad?
    After Sync Apps is selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences, it must remain selected. If deselected followed by a sync, all apps will be removed from your iPhone.
    With Sync Apps selected, you can remove an app from your iPad by deselecting the app under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences followed by a sync. To re-install an app later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. After downloading a new app with iTunes on your computer, the app will be selected automatically under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences.
