ITunes servers overloaded so can't sign in to iTunes on iMac to set up new iPad

I can log in to Discussions, first try, without any problem.
I just downloaded a free app on my iPad 2 without a problem. Of course, this requires signing in with my password. It worked, first try, as always.
I signed in to iTunes on my iMac last night. It took three attempts, as usual, but it worked.
I can't sign in now to iTunes on my iMac. I got a message that said there was a problem and that I should try again later. I expect this problem will get even worse as the day gets later and people get home from work to set up their new iPads. Why can't Apple's iTunes servers handle the traffic?
Wonderful.

I was able to sign in to iTunes eventually, after several hours of trying and then stopping and then trying again.
The new iPad is great. If anyone is wondering whether the new improved screen is worth the expense, try looking at the Guardian's Eyewitness app on the new iPad. It shows photos from around the world. The quality is breathtaking. Beautiful. I also like the improved look of text, as I use my iPad for reading news stories a lot. When more developers optimize their apps for the new iPad, I will be even happier.
Now, Apple, your next mission needs to be to fix the iTunes sign in problems on your desktop computers. I can't uderstand why such a great company would be hampered by a lousy iTunes sign in process. And, yes, I can understand why it would be slower than normal during the launch day of the new iPad, but iTunes always has problems with signing in.

I can't sync my photos from my iMac IPhoto to my new iPad Air.

I checked the albums to sync in iTunes and it says it is importing, but the albums don't appear on my iPad. They did appear on iPhoto on my iPad, but I want them on my iPad Photos. App as albums. I deleted iPhoto on my iPad and still nothing appears. Any help here? THX!

It's strongly recommended that one maintain a minimum of 10 GB of free space on the boot drive for optimal system and application performance. It sounds like you have way too little free space on your hard drive.

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

Can you sign in with more than one apple id on an iPad?

Can you sign in with more than one apple id on an iPad?

Only one account can be signed in at a time (via Settings > Store), and if you turn on automatic downloads and/or download past purchases from an account then you risk tying the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

I created movie using iMovies on iMac. Sent movie to iTunes on iMac. Transferred movie to iPad in iTunes. I can not find it on iPad. where should I look?

I created movie using iMovie on iMac. Sent movie to iTunes on iMac. Then sent to iPad using iTunes. I can not find it on iPad. Where should I look? When iPad is connected to iMac it shows it to be in movies. When I look under iTunes movies on iPad I get movies I can rent or buy. when I look under videos I get a blank screen

Are you looking in the Videos app? iMovie on the iPad? The Photos App? I don't use iMovie but those are the three places where you should look.

HT4059 Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes?

Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes

Yes, you can. Just add files to iTunes library (FILE > ADD FILES TO LIBRARY....) and they will appear under Books library.
Connect you device, select the Books tab, and make sure those books or pdf you want them over are being checked, then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

I synced iTunes from my computer to a new iPad. All of my purchases appear and are listed as downloaded, but none of the will play. Any ideas?

I synced iTunes from my computer to a new iPad. My purchased music appears as normal in the list and is designated as downloaded, but none of it will play. Any ideas of what I can do?

try resetting the device by holding down the home and sleep key, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
Also, try finding a free app, any free app, download it on your ipad then see if that gets your others to work.You can delete the free app if it works (or if it doesn't for that matter)

I recently got a new iPad from Apple, everything was stored to the cloud now I have set up new iPad i have nothing. Apps can b replaced pics cannot. Can anyone help me please?

Sorry to read about this. A relative had a similar experience. Just a few things she was told to do. Hopefully one will get your content back. Make sure you are logged in to the same Apple Account the last iPad was. You should have a recent backup that can be downloaded to have your new iPad look like the one you replaced. When I changed from one iPad to another I used my last backup and all my apps and photos reloaded with no issues. This was done over wifi.
Another way is connecting your iPad to a computer that is logged into your iTunes account. It will show what backups you have available to download To your iPad. Again hopefully a recent backup was made of your iPad with all your most recent content.
In my cloud settings I made sure any photos I took were uploaded to the cloud to be downloaded automatically to my iPhone and visa versa.
If you had your photos setup to be uploaded to the cloud they should still be there. You just need to be logged into your Apple ID and your new iPad and I see no reason you cannot access them. Hopefully it is a simple fix.
good luck. Jeff

Why I'm lost my Bookmarks Bar when I upgrade my mobile me to icloud? How can I get it back to my iMac, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad2?

last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

Setting up new ipad 2. Won't accept my PW for my Airport Extreme (Wi Fi network?) Where is the PW for my WiFi? I am stymied. Can I set up through My MacBook Pro, which IS connected to my WiFi network?

Setting up new ipad 2. Won't accept my PW for my Airport Extreme (Wi Fi network?) Where is the PW for my Wi Fi? I am stymied. Can I set up through my MacBook Pro, which IS connected to my WiFi network?

If you could provide the make and model number of the modem that the AirPort Extreme will be connecting to, we can likely tell you a bit more about what to expect in the way of getting the AirPort set up and working.
Unfortunately, "plug and play" does not apply here. You will need to set up and configure the AirPort Extreme using your iPad or iMac to name the AirPort as a device, assign a device password, name the wireless network, assign a device password and a few other things.
Once the AirPort Extreme is set up, you can connect the PC to one of the LAN <--> ports on the AirPort Extreme using an Etherent cable.
The iPad and iMac will connect to the wireless network that the AirPort Extreme provides.

Can I sync my existing iPhone 3G calendar enteries with my new iPad 2 calendar?

Can I sync my existing iPhone 3G calendare entries with my new iPad 2 calendar?

WalleWalle below is right: If you're patient for the release of iCloud some time this fall, that should handle your needs.
In the meanwhile, a MobileMe account (which you can't get anymore if you don't already have one) or a Gmail account will do the trick. Exchange will also work, but you'd already know that if you had it available.
Until iCloud is available, I'd recommend getting a free Google Mail (Gmail) account and enabling it for Mail and Calendars. Both your iPhone and your iPad will sync with it automatically.
As an alternative, look at the free Wunderlist, which you can access on your iOS devices with a dedicated app, on the web, and even on a Mac app from the Mac App Store. The apps and service are free, and it's had great reviews. Strictly speaking, it's a to-do app, but it has decent "calendar" functions.
