Synching borrowed iPad and then synching back

My iPad is dead. Won’t charge. Tried everything posted on these boards, and nothing has resolved my problem, and it is just two weeks past its 12 month warranty. Oh glory be.
Bear with me, this is my crazy question:
My husband has an iPad that he doesn’t use much and has graciously said I can use his until I can get a new one. Can I synch his iPad to my itunes to get my programs and such on it (I assume it will delete his stuff). Then, when I get my new iPad, can I re-synch his iPad BACK to his itunes and it is his again?
Will that work? The reason I can’t get a new one right away or get it fixed right away is I live in the Caribbean where no store is insight. Will be back stateside in December. Don’t want to do anything until I know he can get his resynched back to his itunes and vice versa.
Can you tell I am addicted to my iPad?
Thanks.

If the movies are no longer available in the iTunes Store, you cannot download them again.
If you have certain content resticted you may not be able to download them again. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>Movies.
Any more hints from you as to what you are actually and specifically doing in actual context - that might make it easier to offer help?

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • I purchased movies on my ipad and then when I synced to my computer they ended up in itunes but are now off the the ipad.  How do I get them back onto the ipad.  Thx!

    I purchased tv shows and ibooks on my ipad and then when I synced with my computer they all ended up on my computer in itunes.  They aren't on my ipad anymore.  How do I put some of them back on my ipad.  Also, I tried to make another purchase on my ipad but it said I didn't have enough room.  I just updated my software and before I synced I had a bunch of shows on the pad.  I don't understand why it's saying I don't have room especially since it took all my shows off.  Thanks!!!

    If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app.  Look there and see if they are still there.
    If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows.  If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
    If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
    To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again.  Make sure you transfer purchases first.   Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

  • I had a one on one with my apple rep yesterday.  They backed up all my photos on my computer.  I was advised to delete photos from Photo stream on my iPhone and iPad and then back it up.  I did backup the iPhone, ipad back not possible not enought space

    Hello,
    I had a one on one with my apple rep yesterday.  They backed up my camera roll from my iphone as well as my ipad on my computer as I was not able to backup to icloud due to lack of space.
    They advised me to delete photos from my photo stream on my iphone and ipad and then do a back up.
    I deleted the photos from photo stream on my iphone and ipad.
    I was able to backup my iphone but NOT my ipad as it is saying that there is not enough room on icloud to do this back up.
    Any solution?

    If it says Not Enough Storage Space on iCloud then you can get more Storage space for iCloud if you want to backup more Data on iCloud Storage. You will find the Pricing for Additional Storage Space and how to Buy Storage Space for iCloud from your Device in the Link below.

  • My daughter used her friends apple account to login on her ipad and then the mother of her friend thought it was being hacked and consequently tracked the ipad and my daughter lost all her photos.  Can we get these back?

    Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
    How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

  • I recently updated my ipad and then  I connected with my computer forn sync, not realising that I had a new version of itunes with none of my apps. Now I have lost allof the apps and books etc, that I had prurchased. How do I get them back?

    As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • HT3209 how long does a rented movie last? and can i download it  in my pc, then to my ipad and then back to my pc?

    how long does a rented movie last?
    when i rent the movie in my pc, can i put it into my ipad and then back to my pc?

    Yu can copy it to your iPad from your computer, but if you rent it directly on the iPad then you can't copy it off - from here :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    From when you rent a movie you have 30 days in which to watch it, but once you start watching it you have 48 hours to finish watching it (24 hours in the US) - you can watch it as many times as like within those 48 (or 24) hours.

  • My old IMAC is a few years old.  Just bought a new one OX 10.8.2.  The old one is  OS X 10.5.8.  Can I install Lion or ewuivalent and then synch both on ICLOUD.  Or is there another way to synch the two computers.

    You can use Migration Assistant in Applications > Utilities to get all your files from one iMac to the other. If you want to upgrade your older model to MtLion you need to have at least a mid 2007 Intel Core 2 Duo with a bare minimum of 2GB of RAM. Then you need to buy the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD , update with
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    at which point you can access the App Store to purchase and install MtLion 10.8 where you would then have access to the iCloud.

  • HT1430 Why does my iPad shut off about every 1 minute and then comes back on?

    Why does my iPad shut down every minute and then come back on ?

    Try to reset your settings... Settings--general--reset (at bottom of list)--reset all settings
    Try an iOS software restore

    Otherwise you may need to have apple repair the device

  • My little brother disabled my ipad but I know the password. How do i get another chance to type it in? I haven't synched my ipad and I have a lot of things in there that i don't want to loose.

    My little brother disabled my ipad but I know the password. How do i get another chance to type it in? I haven't synched my ipad and I have a lot of things in there that i don't want to loose.

    You don't get another chance once it has been permanently disabled. You have to restore it now. If you backup with iCloud, you can restore from that backup and recover everything. If you don't backup with iCloud, you are starting all over again.
    If you don't have a computer, you can restore with another computer running iTunes.
    Instructions can be found here.

    You might need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

  • I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

    I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
    I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
    Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
    Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
    However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD)  - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
    Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
    Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.
    Steven

  • Can I switch my Apple ID on the same device and purchase software with my other ID that has a different credit card (or iTunes redeemed points) and then switch back to another user ID?

    I have an iPad with an ID that is associated with 1 credit card but I don't wan't to use that credit card to make puchases.  Can I switch to a different user ID and make puchases on a different credit card and/or iTunes redeemed points and then switch back to my original ID (before the 90 days wait period us up)?

    If changing your password does not solve then contact itunes support.
