My library was lost in transferring to a new iPad

I recently upgraded to an IPad 2 from the the original iPad. I was able to download the iBooks initially but now I can't get the library to open. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I have an old ipod and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.

I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else. I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks very much

Apple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this. Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions.

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Had to restore cpu to factory settings and itunes library was lost. help!

I had to restore my cpu running, windows xp, to the factory settings and my entire itunes library was lost. I uploaded these songs from cd's I owned and then sold these cd's. the version of itunes on my cpu is about five years old, the ipod software needs to be reloaded and the ipod software version is on 7 something. I am worried that if I load the ipod software and download the latest version of itunes that the library will sync the ipod to its content, which is nothing, and I will lose all my prized music. Please advise how I can transfer my music from my ipod to my itunes library under the stated conditions. Thank you for your help

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:

My recovery disc created was lost, how do i get new one??

my recovery disc created was lost, how do i get new one??

Hi:
I doubt you can get the disks from HP anymore.
You can call them and ask because getting a recovery disk set from HP will cost you less than $20.00, most likely.
In the event I am right about HP no longer having them, you can get a recovery disk set from this place below if the license on your PC is for Windows XP Professional.

PDF in ibooks have not transferred to my new iPad? Why

PDF docs in ibooks have not transferred to my new iPad? Why?

It sounds like you have been using iCloud. Did you have "sync books" selected?

Transferring to a new ipad

i have a lot of saved documents on my existing ipad and I want to buy a new one. Will all the documents I have saved on this ipad be transferred to the new ipad when I restore my last backup?
thank you
D

I don't use automatic backup or sync but keep all my pdf files in a folder on my computer. iTunes then allows me to transfer all of them from the computer to the ipad, or the other way round.
I think you click on Apps - Adobe reader, and at the bottom, there is an Add button. Then you navigate to your folder on the computer and select all the pdf files.
The old version crashes whenever it has transferred 40-50 files, but the new version does not and can transfer all my >1000 pdf files in one go in a few minutes. If you already have some files on the ipad, it asks you to choose to either skip or overwrite files with the same names.
You can also drag the files from the ipad to the folder on the computer, I think.
Hope this helps.

Detailed q's about iTunes library xfer as it relates to a new iPad

I just purchased a new iPad4, upgrading from a first generation iPad. I have a few questions about how I will transfer all of my apps, music, etc. to the newer iPad. And, I don't think it's as simple as restoring via iCloud. Or... maybe it is.
I'VE A FEW FACTORS TO CONSIDER:
1.) I've always had my first generation iPad synched up to the family Windows "Vaio," as opposed to my iMac. (Long story as to why. Had to do with bending to my family's needs at one point in time.)
2.) I wish to move--as I said--all of my apps and music FROM the FIRST generation iPad to my new iPad4
3.) BUT! NOW I wish to synch my new iPad4 to my iMac... and to drag along the iTunes library that exists on the Vaio.
Q: What workflow will I adopt?
1.) Should I synch up my new iPad4 to the Vaio, then... synch THAT to my iMac. (Will my iTunes library transfer over to the iMac? Something tells me it won't)
2.) Would iCloud help me at all?
3.) Would I start to add MORE stuff to be backed up on iCloud? (I'd just as well delete all the stuff that USED to be backed up on my First generation iPad.)
I hope this all makes sense. I woud appreciate any help.

I'll do this. And check back.
One more Q:
When I go to backup my new iPad to iCloud, won't it duplicate much needed storage space?
Should I wipe my old iPad clean, back it up to iCloud, to avoid duplication? (I'm gonna donate the "wiped" iPad.)
I hope this makes sense.

Transferring apps to new iPad?

Does anyone know if you can transfer your apps to the new iPad 2 from your iPad 1? They are downloaded on my computer so I don't see why not, but making sure before I buy the new iPad.

Make sure you have a current backup of your 1st gen iPad in iTunes. When you get your new iPad, do a Restore to the new iPad and most info installs to the new iPad. You may have to sync a few apps. Mine was pretty seamless in the process and my contacts copied over just fine (I didn't have any notes, so I can't speak to that).
The only thing - if I recall correctly - that does not transfer over is your passwords; you will have to enter them again - which makes sense for security reasons.

HT203167 i recently added a flashdrive because my cdrive was full, however, i can't located my playlists anymore, its as if my library was lost

i can't locate my playlist after adding a flashdrive because my c drive was full

Hey Carl269,
If you are not seeing any playlists, the next step I would try would be to bring back a previous iTunes library file. The steps to take care of this are in the following article.

AppleTV 1st Gen has my entire music library loaded however my iTunes library was lost when my external hard crashed. My question is can I copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac?

AppleTV 1st Gen -
I have a rather complex music/movie library system, as well as the ability to listen/watch the content throughout my house thanks to Control4 - extra vegetables and other various 3rd party equipment. I moved my entire music library onto an external hard drive to free up space on my iMac...then my dog got tangled in the cord and pulled the external drive from my desk to the floor destroying the hard drive...(yes I've already attempted to have the content recovered by specialists- no such luck.
My question is... Is it possible to copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac? If so step by step directions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks to all
Tom

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

My computer locked-up, and when rebooted, my itunes library was gone, replaced with a brand new library. Fortunately, my 450 GB iTunes library is still on the computer. Question is how do restore my original library without having to reload folders? Tks

Help! My computer locked-up and had to be rebooted. However, when I restarted it and hooked up my iPod, I noticed my existing iTunes library (all 450 GB of it) was GONE and was replaced by a brand new library. Fortunately my old, 450 GB library is still on my hard drive under iTunes in Windows Explorer. How or why could this have happened, and most importantly how can I restore my old libary without having to manually import allow of my music and hundreds of Podcasts and 16000+ podcast files?
Thanks for any help....

What you're describing is the expected behaviour. I believe though that is also is the easiest way to have all the contents available to both of you at all times. If you have a spacious hard drive you should probably allow this to happen as anything else will be harder to manage.
My suggestion would be the following if you want to try something different.
Store all your music at a location that is accessible by both of you — an example would be to use your Public Folder as the locations where iTunes will go and look for all the media files—. Your wife does have access to it.
In the Finder you will need to move the folder name iTunes Music to the location in your Public Folder (see above). Once that's done, you and your wife will have to go into the iTunes Preferences > Advance Preferences and un-check Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. From this point on, you can continue to use iTunes as usual. You'll need to tell your wife what has been newly downloaded/imported into your iTunes so she can manually go look for those items in that Public Folder iTunes of yours and import them into her iTunes. She will not duplicate by doing that, but, like I say this is an all-manual work.
She can do the same, so you have access to contents she imported herself. One more downside of this is that both usernames have to be active in your iMac. If yours isn't, she won't be able to access any item (song, book, app) located in your Public Folder's iTunes.
I'm sure there's a way, if you have an router with external hard drive conectivity, for both of you to be able to access —independently— the iTunes Media at all times but I was just reading at another post that doing so can further complicate things.
Hope this helps. Please let me know what you think or decide to do.
Jorge...

Hello Tatiana,
It sounds like you're not able to access the Internet on your wife's iPad using Wi-Fi. I found a couple of resources that will help troubleshoot Wi-Fi issues on the iPhone:
