My ipad is currently synced to a PC

would rather sync to my new MacBook air. What will happen if I plug it into my MacBook Air?

if your MacBook Air is new and it's empty and you plug in your iPad, everything except app's would delete from your iPad. The app's will sync to your MacBook.

  • My ipad 2 currently syncs with itunes, but it it no longer recognised on any pc as a removeable drive and I need to delete 2g of photos to install IOS7.03. Why are all pcs no longer recognising ipad?

    Currently have an IPad 2, running ios 6.1.3, looking to update to ios 7.03, but I need to delete 2g of photos. Reading posts, I need to do this via the internal storage, but when I connect ipad to any of our 3 pcs, whilst it is recognised by itunes, it is not listed as a removable device, so am unable to locate device nor its storage. Our iphones and ipods all connect and are recognised, why not ipad?? HELP!

    This is great, BUT my pc does NOT recognise the ipad anymore, so I have nothing to import from..... it WAS recognised in the morning, but not by lunchtime on three different pc's. How do I get the pc's to recognise the ipad again??

  • Advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    I am after some advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.

  • We recived  ipads today in school to use as a tool and they said if i sync it to my itunes my itunes will be erased and all the ipad stuff currently on there would be erased the second i connect to the school i was wondering if this was possible?

    we recived  ipads today in school to use as a tool and they said if i sync it to my itunes my itunes will be erased and all the ipad stuff currently on there would be erased the second i connect to the school i was wondering if this was possible? i already pointed a couple things that they said was true but were false like useing that find my ipad thing were it just zooms in on your location they also said it would beep and they can track it anywhere witout a 3g network which we use the wi fi. teachers can connect to itunes i belive becasue they don't have the same rescrtictions as use students but early in the year they said one teacher tried and failed with the results that said would happen to  use. besides ristrictions like loseing the app store and not being aloud to open any app wemb adresses we are to add  music via the itunes that i already on the ipad. i was just wondering if there full of it right now because i think they are.

    If I were a teacher setting up iPads to be used at school/work, I wouldn't link it to my personal iTunes, rather I'd create/use a different one. If for no other reason than to keep the kidlets and your fellow teachers from possibly accessing your account.

  • IPad and iTunes syncing issues

    I gave my old computer to my Dad, I need to add my ipad to my new computer. I downloaded the itunes on my new computer, but when I try to sync, it tells me that the ipad is synced with another iTunes library and ipad can be synced with only 1 iTunes library. Is there anyway to unsync with the old computer and sync with the new computer without loosing all the apps and data that I have on my ipad?

    The ipad will sync itunes content and pics from one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another it will indeed erase the current content from the ipad and replace with content from the new computer.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to the new one.

  • IPad problem with syncing after reinstall

    i have reinstalled windows 7 recently and when i plugged my ipad to be synced with some new apps i found that itunes demand the data that is not currently in the itunes library because i reinstalled the whole disk containing this information(i don't know why it just don't merges it). Anyway, i have accepted this and selected the new apps to be installed, and that's where the problem begins. On step 2 of 3 (determining apps to sync) it doesn't sync at all the selected apps and then finishes syncing without the apps appearing on the ipad.
    It still has the apply button to sync them but it doesn't do anything at all. Any suggestions regarding this situation because i don't really understand what wrong with it ...

    I realized where was the problem

  • The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes librar

    Hi,
    I know similar cases were posted here but I did not find something that matched my case:
    Here is the message I got:
    The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (1 MB required, 4.29 GB available).
    Obviously I have 1M space if I have 4.29GB of space.
    I do not have any music or photos
    I just updated the current apps I have and did an synced several new apps with a total of about 500M (which is far less then the free ~4GB I have)
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Thank you

    You have seem similar instances of this, but have you tried anything suggested in those discussions?  I would quit ITunes, reboot your computer, reset the iPad and then try again. I would also close all apps on the iPad before resetting the device. When you try the sync again, use a different USB port on your computer.
    I Know this seems to be an no brainer, but make sure that you didn't accidentally select more content to sync than the iPad can hold
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    In order to reset your iPad, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen after which time you can release the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • Can't receive email  "accounts are currently syncing"

    Cannot receive emails. Under Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars, etc in shows "Accounts are currently syncing". Can send emails. Tried Geek squad and local Apple store. No one has helped.

    Well for me at least, turned out that syncing with iTunes over the air was failing due to a lack of space on the iPad.
    So in iTunes, I cleaned up space by switching off the option to sync my entire library to syncing select playlists.
    This created more space and then I was able to see the Mail/Calendar/Contacts preferences again on the iPad and when I launched Mail, it didn't crash.

  • New iPad 2 problem syncing calendars

    I've got my brand new iPad 2 and the setup went well with the exception of syncing the calendar to the Mac Calendar on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.  Just the regular Mac Calendar.  Tried several options on the iTunes info page to no avail. iPad is hardwired to Mac via the supplied cable.  No error msgs or anything - just nothing shows up on the ipad. What should I try to diagnose the problem?
    thanks for any help.

    iTunes 10.5 and iOS version 5 for the iPad are currently only available to developers as you suspect - so you will need to be a registered developer in order to use them (and get questions answered about them in the developer's forum https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa). Presumably you got the iPad off a developer, in which case see if he/she can help you - but I'm not sure that an iPad can be downgraded from iOS 5 (?)

  • I have and IPAD 2 and a iMac 10.7.4 the iPad didn't sync the address book

    I have and IPAD 2 and a iMac 10.7.4 the iPad didn't sync the address book

    Download the COMBO Update and try that, that is iof you haven't already.
    If that fails then you could boot to the Recovery HD and do a Reinstall Over the Top of your current install. That will replace all the system files with the current versions, 10.7.4, and leave all your other files alone, programs and data file.

  • Have a new mac desktop that I want to use for syncing i-pad currently synced with old pc which I will be sicarding.  How do I switch computers with my I-pad??

    have a new mac desktop that I want to use for syncing i-pad.  Currently synced to an old pc that I will not be using any
    longer How do I switch computers for syncing?

    The absolute best way to do this is to transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one. You can find a numbr of ways to do that here.

    If you want to spend the money for a computer application that will let you transfer all of the content from the iPad to iTunes - look at
    Touchcopy
    However, I have posted this many times over the past few months. If you follow these instructions you should be fine. This will transfer the purchased content from the iPad into iTunes on the Mac. You will still want to get your photo library and any CD's that you imported into iTunes on the new Mac. That is why transferring the iTunes library to the new Mac is the best way to go.
    When you set up the new Mac - if you can import or migrate all of the PC content onto the Mac - this will all be a non issue, but I'm not sure how to bring all of your PC content onto the Mac. Going from an old Mac to a new Mac was a breeze, but I know nothing about transferring the content from a Windows PC.
    The 3 basic things to remember - authorize the computer, (Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Authorize this Computer) transfer purchased content and backup.
    The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your Mac, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

    This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer - if you have an iTunes library of music on another computer or hard drive.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    The worst case scenario is that you can download all of your apps again if needed - but you will not retain the data or app settings - but it is always an option if everything else fails - but it won't fail!

  • HT201274 My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet.  If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" will iTune force an upgrade to 8?  I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.

    My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet.  If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" on the device will the device be forced to upgrade to 8 ?  I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.

    To Perform the Erase All Content and Settings directly on the iPad it does not need to be connected to a computer.
    In fact yes, is better if its not connected to one, but simply connected to its charger, and have it plugged in. Erase All content and settings, will not update the iOS.
    If you restore the iPad using iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected, then it will update to iOS 8. Because the restore will place the newest available iOS version supported by the Phone on it.
    Basically disconnect the iPhone, plug it in to its charger, and the charger to the wall, and then on the iPad go to Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings.  This will wipe clean the iPhone but will do nothing to the underlying iOS installation.
    Once everything is removed, you can plug it into iTunes and sync your content back.  Do not attempt to restore from backup while connected to iTunes, as it will update the iOS version in the process. Simply sync and you should have no issues.

  • Can only sync photos by dropping folder on desktop - iPad won't sync photos

    Hi all,
    I've been trying for a couple weeks now to sync photos to my iPad.
    I'm running SL 10.6.2 and have updated to the latest iTunes. I have one hard drive that runs only my OS and my applications and I have a secondary drive that contains all my data including music, videos, photos, documents etc.
    I have been able to repeatedly successfully sync apps, movies, music, and even a pages document to my iPad from the secondary drive through iTunes.
    Every single time I have tried to sync photos it just seems to hang at the Sync in Progress screen for hours. I finally have to cancel because it's obvious the sync will not be successful. This happens whether I have one folder selected with just a dozen photos or several folders selected.
    I am not using iPhoto. I'm simply choosing the folders with the images I'd like to sync from the Photos tab in iTunes when my iPad is connected.
    Today I took one of the folders I was trying to sync containing 12 photos and dropped it on my desktop. The photos synced in seconds and iPad happily said sync complete. Any ideas?
    Is this a quirk with SL 10.6.2, iTunes 9.1, or iPad?
    It's not necessarily a huge issue that I have to move all the photos I want to sync to my main mac drive... but I just really didn't want to clutter my OS drive with data stuff... I prefer to keep them separate. Seems the only way I can sync photos right now, though, is to move them to the main mac drive... even though everything else syncs just fine from the secondary drive...
    Thanks for any help!

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • Ipad won't sync, tried everything

    After installing IOS 7 AND the latest version of iTunes, my iPad stopped syncing with my computer. I get the "Your iPad did not sync because the sync session failed to start" message. I also get a "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (142404)" message when initially starting iTunes. I have tried:
    - resetting Ipad
    - resetting Ipad to factory settings
    - reinstalling Itunes
    - installing an older version of iTunes
    - Anti-virus/ anti-spyware scans using several programs
    - Pulling out strands of my hair
    Two more things of note: 1. I am able to sync my old 2nd generation iPod Nano with no issues. 2. Using a program called SyncIOS also will not sync with the iPad.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional on my laptop with all updates installed.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!
