My wafe has an ipad and just got an iPad 2. How do I activate the new one with the date from her old one?

My Wife has a new iPad 2, how do I transfer the date on her iPad to her iPad 2? I found some instructions and it instructs me to use a computer. The only other computer I have is a windows os laptop. What is the best method?

You should use a computer with a reasonably current version of Windows (or Mac OS X for an Apple computer).
Load the current version of iTunes (free) which you can get at http://www.apple.com/itunes
Sync her old iPad using iTunes. Do that by opening iTunes and plugging her old iPad into the computer using the USB cable that came with the iPad.
Then plug the iPad 2 into the same iTunes and let it sync. One of the options (since you say it's new) will be to restore from the old iPad.

I am new to Apple and just got an iPad Air. Any suggestions on migrating my Windows Vista Contacts and IE Favorites to the iPad? The suggested method of using iCloud is restricted to Windows 7 and 8. Thanks.

I am new to Apple and just got my iPad Air. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can migrate Contacts from Windows Mail and Favorites from IE that are on a Windows Vista desktop ? The recommendation that I have seen are via using iCloud but that does not appear to work for Windows Vista, just Windows 7 and 8. Thanks.

You could try putting your contacts in through Gmail and then signing in with that Gmail on your iPad. You could also try searching for some kind of app that will transfer data easily (I'll look into it and update it if I find anything). I don't have any Microsoft products so I'm not sure if I'm much help but I'll definitely try. You'll definitely love coming to Apple it's much simpler and easier!

Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

I just upgraded to a new computer running Windows 7 from an old one running XP. I would like to transfer all my bookmarks but I don't know where they were and where to move them to in the new computer. Thank You.

You can't use Boot Camp in 3 TB drives. You can download VirtualBox, Parallels or VMware Fusion and install Windows on a virtual machine. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321

HT5661 will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

I have an iPad Model MD371LL/A that i'm selling. I will buy a new one as sonn it releases the new model.
Will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

Yes.
The only 'catch' you may encounter. Let's say your old one is running iOS 7.1.1, and your new one is running iOS 7.0.6, you will first need to update your new one to be running 7.1.1, then y ou can restore it from the backup of your old one and make it a near clone of the old one.
Chances are you won't encounter this, but there have been instances where folks get a broken ipad replaced and try to restore the new one from the backup of the old one and since the replacement is running an older iOS than the replaced one it doesn't work. In that case you set up the replacement long enough to update the iOS then restore it.
But, likely what will happen for you is what happened for me when I bought a new iPod Touch. I did a full backup of my old one then wiped it. Brought the new one home and during hte set up process I had a choice 'set up as new or restore from the backup of the old one'. I chose restore and my new one was a near clone of the old one. I still needed to set up wifi and enter a few passwords to websites, but the data and contents crossed over.
If you are selling your old one you may want to read this about wiping your device to make it usable by the buyer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer. I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting. Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc. That's not the issue. It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
Thanks.

Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone). Very clear.
However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer. How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

Upgrade iPhoto database taking forever, 12 hours and counting. New McBk Pro: the APple tech staff migrated data from my old MacBook. Am I doing something wrong?

Upgrade iPhoto database taking forever, 12 hours and counting.the Apple tech staff migrated data from my old MacBoo to New McBk Pro. Then the Upgrading process was started and ran for 24 hours before I finally Force Quit. BTW, iPhoto didn't show up as Not Responding, but I figured there was some glitch and Force Quit. THen started up again and now 12 hours and counting. Am I missing something?

I have a iPhone, and iPad. I just got a iPod. I want to create a new account for the iPod and use the same credit card information. Is this possible?

I have an iPhone, and IPad. I just got a iPod. I want to create a new apple ID for the iPod so I can access face time and messages separately. However can I use the same credit card account?

Just do it. You can use the same credit card for multiple accounts.

I have a mini iPad and just got iPhone 5c

I have an icloud email address and obviously an apple account what I want to know is can I use these on both my iPad and iPhone.

You won't be able to delete/remove apps which come pre-installed on either your iPad or iPhone such as Stocks, Calendar, Weather just as a few examples only Apps you've installed yourself can be deleted so this would include the likes of Pages if you've added that to your iPhone for example and just wanted to use it on your iPad instead, or vice versa.
By the way realise this is a different thread but how did you get on with your SIM cards?

Have original iPad and just got iPad2 in same household with same email ID but with different interests. How can we share purchased items, email and yet keep our own separate interests?

We have iPad and ipad2 with one email address but two owners. How can we share purchases, receive same email messages but have individual accounts at the same time? Can we have same Apple User ID with different passwords? Hepl!

Aside from the fact that we have hijacked this thread - which we really shouldn't do - you would probably be better off posting questions or seeking advice in the iCloud portion of the Apple Support Communities. I'm sure that there are a lot of more experienced iCloud users on that site than I am.
I'm not a big believer in iCloud at this point, so my experience with it - other than downloading past purchases - is really pretty limited. I would not want to steer you down the wrong path.
However, here is the Apple iCloud support website that is loaded with all sorts of information and links to even more information. This will get you started anyway ....
