Someone gave me an ipad can I keep the apps and sync with my iTunes?

Someone gave me an iPad 2 and I was wondering if I sync it with my computer is there a way to keep the apps that are currently on the iPad?

You need to update to the latest iOS 5.1.1.
See iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    => is this a different iCloud account for each device?  I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
    You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data.  If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s).  If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own.  In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own.  Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID.  The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.  Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

    => what ID, iTunes?  So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address?  The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
    Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.  In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple.  Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account.  When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process.  If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service.  They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

  • HT1386 My contacts keep deleting themselves and syncing with someone else?

    My contacts keep deleting themselves and syncing with someone else?

    Well, if you no longer sync contacts with iCloud, that means that anyone else using your Apple ID for iCloud will no longer have access to your contacts.

  • An App I downloaded for my iPad was not what I thought it was going to be, can I remover the App and request a refund?

    An App I downloaded for my iPad was not what I thought it was going to be, can I remover the App and request a refund?

    You probably cannot get a refund, since as RG said the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you, something more likely if the app does not perform as advertised.
    Good luck.

  • How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

    I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

    How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?
    No.
    If my account has been compromised
    If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

  • Can i delete the apps that comes with the 5s phone, like itunes, weather and others that i won't be using?

    can i delete the apps that comes with the 5s phone, like itunes, weather and others that i won't be using?

    You can't delete some of the native apps but you can put them away in a folder OR some of them you can make invisible by restricting them (iTunes for example).

  • HT204088 When trying to update an app, it partially downloads and then displays the message "unable to download item" Please try again later. This happens on any app I try. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling with same results. What can I do?

    I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.

  • How can i transfer my music from iphone to itune. currently itune wouldnt allow this as i have also used my ipad? the message i get it says: the iphone is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erasethis iphone and sync with this itune?

    an iphone can be synced with one itune library at one time. erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iphone with the contents of this itune library!!
    apple..... ypu sale these gadgets which i love but I dont want to earse the music on my iphone i would like to save them into my library, how can i do this? most of the music i have bought and i dont want to loose any of it!!!
    Please someone help me.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your other library/computer, or your backup copy, to your new library/computer

  • How can I keep the front and back of a photo together in a single image?

    I'm running PSE 8 on XP with SP3.
    I'm getting ready to upgrade to PSE 9.
    My cousin just sent me 24 old family photos.
    On the back of each photo is a lot of information.
    Who is in the picture, where it was taken, what the event was, etc.
    What I'd like to be able to do is to scan these images in and somehow keep the front and the back of
    each photo together in a single image. That way I can post them to a photo web site and people
    can look at the image and read what it is.
    I have a Lexmark Pro 205 printer/scanner.
    Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!

    I worked on one of the pictures with your Mom and Dad. These scans are quite good and there is a lot of information in them. One can spend a lot of time fixing them up - good project!
    Here is what I did:
    Duplicated background layer
    Applied Brightness/contrast adjustment layer, worked the sliders
    Merged down
    Sampled sky with eye dropper tool, opened blank layer at top of stack, used brush tool to cover a few of the spots in the sky (?dust)
    Merged down
    Accessed Smart brush tool, selected black & white in drop down, selected high contrast b&w, covered the sky with that
    Selected Yellow filter, and covered the ground
    Merged down
    Opened a blank layer at top of stack and added a couple of clouds
    Applied Photofilter adjustment layer, warming filter LBA, adjusted density
    Sharpened slightly with unsharp  mask
    Merged visible
    Applied stroke
    On review, the spots in the sky need additional work - they show up more on-line than in PSE.  Can be fixed in step #4.
