New ipad, transfer/sync apps

I plan to buy an ipad. My wife has one that we sync to the imac. I sync using my MBP but do that less as I now backup to icloud.. How do I get the apps that I use and its data from her ipad to my new one? I can't sync her ipad to my MBP without getting some error message.

Your post is a little confusing to me. But the bottom line is that of you are sharing this iPad now and backing up with iCloud, simply restore the new iPad from the backup of the current iPad.
Back up the current iPad first, so that the backup is as current as it can be. Then activate the new iPad and when you get to a certain point in the process, you will have to opportunity to restore from an iCloud or an iTunes backup. Select the iCloud option.
This advice is based on the assumption that you are sharing the iPad and all of the apps and data on the device which also means that you are sharing an Apple ID.

I have recently had my MacBook Pro and iPad stolen so I have bought a new iPad, since syncing to my existing Apple ID account I keep getting another Apple ID popping up asking for the password. Does this mean that the owner of this appe ID have my stuff?

You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

New iPad dosent sync all photos in photostream

I love the new iPad, but it only syncs about 25% of my photos. These photostream photos are recent and they are under 1000, it only synced maybe my most recent 100 photos. I have plenty of memory. I have done everything the apple help center tells me to do....(I'm on wifi, I have battery, iCloud sync photostream is on, I have reset it). I have also restarted my device, installed any updates, my other Devices include the ancient iPad 1 and an iPhone 4S, no problems with those devices syncing Photos, documents, or apps.

Are you sure that the Photo Stream photos that are on the iPad and the iPhone aren't really in the camera roll on this devices .... Maybe you saved them to the camera roll from the Photo Stream.
Photos that are over 30 days would have been deleted from the Photo Stream wouldn't they have been? If you saved them to the camera roll on the other devices they would still appear on those devices.
I am really just starting to use Photo Stream myself, and im noe expert by any menas, but I am getting my information from here. However, I could be misunderstanding how it works, since I am new to the whole thing myself.
iCloud: PhotoStream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article also explains how to add photos manually to the PhotoStream from your computer. And now that I think about it, the PhotoStream contents are not in your backup so restoring from the backup would not transfer them to the new iPad and only photos that you have taken - after you turned on PhotoStream on the new iPad, should appear in the PhotoStream on the device.

When you activate the new iPad, you will be given the opportunity to set up as new, restore from an iCloud backup or an iTunes backup. Select the iTunes back option. You will have to connect your iPad to your computer, and restore from the backup. Then sync with iTunes as well in order to retrieve all of your apps, photos, music, books and so on.

After you are satisfied that the new iPad is setup just like the old one, you can erase it an give it to your spouse.
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Then your spouse can set up the iPad as if it were a brand new out of the box iPad.
This might prove to be helpful as well.

Help! My new ipad will sync everything, but my music!

I just got a new ipad and I connected it to my PC and opened iTunes, it synced all my apps, my pictures, but it won't sync my music. I have tried clicking and unclicking. Adding one album or song at a time, but it won't work. My computer shows the music in gray with a dotted circle by it, but it won't begin to upload it to my ipad, and when I click on my music on my ipad, it shows an empty folder. Please help me, I'm so frustrated.

IPad &iPhone syncing apps & tunes

thanks for your help

My new ipad cannot synced because there is not enough space

My new ipad first tried to download all my photo, I have too many, I reset to just save last 30 days, Show I have about 5.5 gb but still getting message not enough room to sync? What do I need to do?

Youha e to look at all the stuff you are trying to have on your iPad. There is only 16, 32, or 64 GB of space on the iPad. Movies, apps, and photos take up the most space but books and other files require space as well. Check all your usage and do not add what you do not need.

Shall I restore as a new iPad then sync from iCloud?

I've been having a frustrating few days trying to get music, photos, books ey to sync after the software updates with absolutely no joy. Been getting loads of different messages via iTunes from stopped waiting for sync to start, to sync cancelled. My iPad does have nearly 1gb of yellow other content and I'm wondering whether to restore as a new iPad to get rid of this. My question is, if I do this and then can successfully sync, if I then back up from the cloud will my settings revert to including the yellow mystery content? Any views appreciated: it's becoming a real pain to manually load apps from the cloud one one by one after each unsuccessful restore and sync. ITunes is running on Vista and it's an ipad1. Please help.

Suggest you do this:
1. Backup iPad to iTunes or iCloud
2. Restore iPad to Factory Default (setup as new)
3. Update to IOS 8
4. Restore backup from iTunes or iCloud
Note: This way you get a clean install

How to get an app on new iPad after the app has been pulled from app store?

I have the vlc player app on my iPad 2 and want to put it on my ipad3. Since it has since been pulled from the store, how do I get it on my new iPad? I is no other app that I have found that can replace it.

I did that before I bought the new iPad and was able to transfer all my other apps, somehow the app never made it to my current iPad. I'll try again and let you guys know once I get home to my laptop.
