Ipad syncing to itunes - even though I have an iPod already?

I've got a new iPad on the way - will my current iPod/iTunes a) work along with an iPad, b) will my music library sync to BOTH devices?

The iPad requires iTunes version 10.1 (you don't say which version you've got). Apart from that you can connect and sync as many devices as you like to your computer and your iTunes account, and you can either sync the same or different content to your iPod and iPad. There is some info in this article which gives various options as to how you could manage different devices and their content on the same computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

  • HT1386 I have changed computers and when I try to sync my apps, I keep getting a message saying that the computer is not authorised to sync the apps even though I have authorised the computer.

    Hi, I have just set up iTunes in my new computer and have 'synced' my iphone, however, my apps have not synced, I keep getting a message saying that this computer is not authorised to sync the apps even though I have authorised it.  I don't know if the issue is the fact that I had to set up a new apple ID?  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

  • I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID.

    I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID. Please help me before I kill something!!

    How did you go about transferring your library onto the iMac? There are specific instructions one must follow to do this correctly without causing loss of data. Simply signing in via your Apple ID won't do much of anything unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Did you just copy the entire iTunes folder over? If so, Quit iTunes then hold down option and click the iTunes icon in the Dock. Don't release option until the popup appears asking if you want to create a new library. Simply navigate to the library in the folder you copied over.
    If you didn't go about transferring your library in that way, and you still have the MacBook Pro, follow these instructions to transfer your library properly to avoid data loss.
    Hope that helps!

  • My iPad won't backup even though I have 4.7 of 5 GB available

    My iPad won't back up even though I deleted a lot.  I have 4.7 of 5 GB's available.  I tried turning it off.  Didn't work.  Says that I have never backed up, when I have done this many times since I first received my iPad in 2012.  Please advise.  Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I think you'll find it means you don't have enough storage available on your phone.

  • Can i still sync my files even though i have corrupted files?

    so i just put my itunes library on my new mac laptop from my pc. on my pc i have that stupid thing where it says it lost the pathway and i guess the files are now corrupted. BUT they still play on my ipod. I have synced my ipod several times not realizing this could cause a issue on my ipod, but the songs are still playing on my ipod but not my pc. so now the songs wont play on my mac either, but still play on my ipod. i want to download some more songs, but i am afraid to sync my mac and my ipod now for fear that it will replace the songs that work, with the corrupted files. also, i used my ipod as a external hard drive to transfer the files and haven't set it back up to do an automatic sync because once again i am afraid of losing the songs. the songs that are corrupt are ones from cds and ones i downloaded off itunes. but when i go to try to download the songs i already purchased, it doesn't get them all.
    help?

    if the error you are getting is a disk copy error when trying to sync the ipod, then that error normally halts the sync process. that would be why you "synced" your ipod but the songs still play on your ipod... if you have a back up of your computer, then you can find and delete the file that is giving the read or copy error and replace it with your back up.
    very important! if you are actually getting read or copy errors, then your disk may be beginning to fail. make sure that you have a good back up. if not then make one as soon as possible. as the saying goes, there are 2 kinds of hard disks: those that have failed and those that are going to fail... so protect yourself and make a back up if you wish to avoid the pain of loosing files.
    if some other problem is happening, like the some files have been mistakenly deleted (outside of itunes) and itunes just cant find the files anymore, than that is a matter of resorting the files from a back up. i believe itunes will also halt a sync if it can't find a file...
    there is a shareware utility called "podworks" which allows you to copy a song from your ipod and restore it to your computer if you've lost the song from your hard disk... but it will only copy what is still on your ipod, meaning that if you do a sync and some files get deleted from your ipod in the process, then you'll have to restore them another way. you can find podworks on versiontracker.com

  • Iphone 4s not showing up in iTunes, even though I have done everything suggested by Apple

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest version of iTunes.
    Everything worked fine untile one day, the iPhone stopped showing up in iTunes. I have not installed any other software during that time.
    I have done everything suggested in Apple's support pages and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple software as suggested.
    My iPhone is showing up in iTunes when I connect it to another computer with iTunes installed.
    Any clues as to what may cause this on my computer?
    Thanks!

    the new appletv is not supposed to show up in itunes like the old one did.

  • HT203167 I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

  • Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

    you have to go to your atv's settings and remove the sync setup with the in the atvs eyes "old" computer
    before you can add the "new" computer as a sync computer
    an atv can only be set to sync with 1 and it don't know the "old" computer is not just off

    The radio is a part of the iTunes Music app.
    I don't think you can get iOS 7 on your iPod. Too old.
