Old iPad, New MBP.

Hello and Sorry,
My son has had an Ipad for 12 months, he has music and movies on it from all over. He has just got his own MBP and we have set him up as stand alone now.
Problem is all his music and movies are on the iPad and not the MBP, how do we get it all on the MBP?
Once again, sorry for the novice posting, I am sure there is an easy and simple answer, but with being a few days to Christmas my head is mince.
Cheers

  • Old iPod, new MBP

    I got the new video iPod at Christmas and I love it. My new MPB is coming Wednesday. Since my iPod was set up on my old Windows compputer, will it work on my Mac? Will it need to be re-formatted and how will I do that?

    It will work, however when you go to the about page it will still say formatted for Windows. Also if you want to put your music on your MBP you can use iPodrip or Senuti to pull the songs/videos off the iPod and onto the MBP. They are both available at versiontracker.com and are free downloads.

  • I didn't have login code for old ipad, new ipad requires one or it won't open.

    How do I get around that 4 digit login requirement on my new ipad air?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    If this doesn't work, you'll need to force Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Old iPad, new PC and Apple ID.

    I have had an iPad 3 since 2012. I then got a laptop, and when I got an iPhone, I got a new Apple ID. I am now trying to plug the iPad into my PC, and it says "Welcome to your new iPad." I have no backup. What can I do without wiping my iPad?

  • Aperture performance on old vs. new MBP

    I run Aperture 3.1 on a MBP3,1 (late '07/early '08) with 2.4Ghz C2D, 4GB RAM, and nVidia 8600 with 128MB.
    I'm thinking of u/g to a current model MBP so today I went into my local Apple Store and found a 17" MBP, 2.53Ghz Core i5, 4GB RAM, nVidia 330 with 512MB with Aperture installed and I was disappointed to say the least with the performance as it didn't seem noticeably quicker than mine.
    I use 10Mpx Canon CR2 raw files and my MBP takes ~3-5 secs to render each one - the time the Loading... message is displayed. The one in the Apple Store had 12.6Mpx Nikon NEF raw files and took about the same time to render them.
    Given that my MBP is 3 generations old and so current h/w is - or should be - significantly more powerful, especially the GPU, I would have expected a very noticeable increase in performance. I would have expected a render time of 1-2 secs.
    OK, so it wasn't a very scientific test, I wasn't comparing identical files, and maybe the ones on the Store machine had more adjustments than most of mine, but even so I would have expected to notice a difference.
    I'm now wondering whether it is worth u/g to a current gen MBP. What are others experience of Aperture on different generations if h/w? Should 25% larger files make such a difference? Are Nikon NEF files more time consuming to render than Canon CR2 files?
    Any observations, advice, or recommendations would be appreciated.

    I have the same system that is MBP 15" Santa Ana 2.4 Ghz 4 4GB RAM, and nVidia 8600 running latest 10.6.5 and latest AP3.1.1 . I obtained much increase in AP3 performance when I read "Kevin Doyle" blog where he explained AP3 frag. problems, solved by operating the Aperture Library from an external HDD. So I purchased a Gtech 500GB w/ eSata, Sonnet SATA Express 34 (2port), Addonnics eSATA CF card reader. My files from Canon 1D MkIII (10mp). I import direct into AP3 using the import function a project, renaming, adding metadata, light colour balance adjustments, backup CR2 to Gtech 250GB on firewire 800. 250 to 300 files = 15 min. AP3 does take another 15 min, max to process if we are shooting an indoor arena with ISO. It use to take 45-60 min. w/ AP2 + I was forced to rename in Cannon DPP = very slow. The external eSATA HDD has changed my life and I will be forced to buy a MBP 17" to get Express 34 form factor, thanks Apple! I have a friend that just bought a MBP I7 17" to work with her MBP Santa Ana. she has not tested difference in speed yet.

  • New MBP, how to transfer software/data from old MBP

    I'm picking up a new MBP in a few days. I've upgraded in the past but it's been five yrs. What are the current best practices for moving from old to new MBP's?

    Use the Setup Assistant in the new computer. First, connect the two computers using a Firewire cable. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new computer normally for the first time. You will be greeted by the Setup Assistant. Follow the on-screen instructions until you are asked about migrating from another computer or Time Machine backup. Opt for another computer and go with the instructions. You will be guided to migrating your old computer's Home folder, third-party applications, support software, and system preferences.
    Now, this process will take quite some time so be patient.
    The following may be useful reading although it is about using the Migration Assistant. This tool is exactly like the one used in the Setup Assistant. How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac.

  • MBP(Leopard) has ALL music (Amazon, my own CDs,etc) in iTunes. I do NOT want to use in new MBP(Yosemite). Now, iPodTouch64 is now stuck at "plug in to iTunes" screen. Can I plug it in to my old MBP without fear of losing ALL?

    My iPod64Touch is frozen at that screen, with no way to get to settings. I have even pressed the top (on/off) button and the button at the bottom (front) at the same time, and it just returns to the frozen screen. Let it drain, recharged, and get the same screen. I'm sure this is Apple's way of forcing me to send all my 6674 items to my new MBP(Yosemite), and know it will not include my Amazon purchases and personal CDs that are on the old MBP.  I don't use videos, photos, or anything other than music on the iPods.

    iPodTouch 64 - Feb 14, 2015 7:07pm ----12/24/14 9:33pm
    I use this device in the cars only, and have played it many times until last week, when I got the frozen screen after disconnecting from my husband's car. The CAR couldn't have tried an update, right? I forgot about Sync, didn't I? I've now checked the box to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". Why didn't I see that before now? It's possible that the update was so large, that the iPodTouch wouldn't take it and just quit, without completing the update, but left me this unresponsive screen.
    So can I safely just plug the USB from the iPod64 into the older 2008 MBP and update it from there (WITHOUT DANGER OF LOSING ENTIRE COLLECTION)? Make it simple; I'm 74 and not as savvy as I used to be! I tend to zone out with long descriptions, but if you have to....fire away...between hubby and me, we can usually figure it out.
    I haven't migrated from older to newer MBP or to iPad4 yet because I wanted to be selective in doing so. I am offloading all my photos, digital art, documents and important Applications onto separate thumb drives, before upgrading the old MBP, and will probably backup the whole thing on a new external backup drive, too. Then, will upgrade to Snow Leopard (the last update the 2008 MBP will take), and use it almost exclusively offline.
    I have a 'Classic iPod' that I purposely haven't updated since the last of '14. All purchases from all sources are on there (as on the '08MBP) and I want to keep it that way. We keep it in players and do not plan to update it or play anywhere else, except perhaps with headphones or through the tuner occasionally. I'm assuming it is safe from the same fate?

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize my old (and dead) Macbook pro from my new MBP?

    I just got a new mbp because my old faithful had its logic board die on me. I also have an iPad, a regular MAcBook and two iphones on this account. How can I authorize my new computer when my old one is dead and I already have 4 other devices?
    -Marcia

    About De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

  • TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

    Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.  I have deleted account and reinstalled.

    Thanks.  I got the problem fixed.  Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor.  It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner.  Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail.  I checked all the specifics between the three units.  It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com  to TWC.com.  Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics. 

  • Got a new MBP and old external hard drive is too full for backup

    I just got a new MBP and got all my data migrated and everything. I plugged my external hard drive in to run a backup, and it apparently is too full to run a backup of the new computer.  Even though all the files are the same (mostly), I guess it's not going to overwrite anything because it's a new computer.  Should I just get a new backup drive and start fresh for this computer.  Should I reformat my old backup drive (and if so, how?)?  Advice?

    You should always have two backups of all vital data in any regard. A good 1TB Toshiba USB is $65
    If there is NOTHING on the external HD you cant lose, format in disk utility > erase > format MAC OSX extended journaled.
    then apply a Time Machine backup to the old HD of your new computer. That will free of a great deal of space.
    However you should still have a 2nd backup of data.  2 backups is 1, and 1 is none.

  • How can I restore an app and its data from an old ipad to a new ipad without restoring from backup?

    When I purachsed and iPad 2 to replace my old iPad I did not want to restore it from backup for obvious reasons.  However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?

    The reasons may be obvious to you, but it makes no sense to me. I would think that you would want all of the content that you had transfered onto your new iPad.
    However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?
    If you lost the data in the apps, you can't get it back unless you restore from a backup - assuming that the backup DID have that data in the apps..
    The only way that you can get the apps PLUS the app data onto the new iPad is to restore the new iPad from a backup of the original iPad and sync the apps back onto the new iPad if necessary.

  • Can the new pre installed apps in iPad 2. Like garage band, iMovie be sync back to i tune, and then sync these new apps from ipad2 to the old iPad 1?

    Can the new pre installed apps in iPad 2. Like garage band, iMovie be sync back to i tune, and then sync these new apps from ipad2 to the old iPad 1?

    GB and iMovie pre installed?
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/
    Click: Browser All Built In Apps
    iMovie and GB must be purchased.
    If you have installed GB and iMovie on the iPad 1 and synced using iTunes, just sync the those apps to the newer iPad with iTunes. No re purchase necessary with the same iTunes account.

    Connect to iTune; and Check for available download (under Store). When download is completed, sync to iPad.

  • I bought  an iPad 3 yesterday; this is an upgrade from the original iPad. I was told that migrating the data would be simple. My desktop is a PC with Windows 7 Professional. I can't find a way to back up my old iPad so I can restore the data to the new

    I bought an update to the original iPad an iPad 3. In was told that migrating the data from my old iPad to the new will be a snap. Alas, it isn't. My desktop is a new high end PC that came preloaded with Windows 7 Professional and I have had nothing but problems. My earlier computer was XP and everything, including my Apple interface, in particular iTunes, worked without problems. When I was trying to back up my data from the old iPad to my desktop, the only thing it would do is synchronize, then got an error message to download the latest iTunes, which I did but it still did not work. I have a lot of music both purchased through iTunes and a lot of others which were CDs that were copied to the desktop. I also have a lot of books through Kindle and other books in iBooks and audio books from other sources, plus two iPods I want to sync. I need some advise on where I find the back up feature in iTunes so I can copy all the data on from my old iPad. Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.
