Syncing Ipad & Itouch; is it possible?

Is it possible to sync a ipad and itouch to the same computer?

Absolutely.
I have an iPod Touch and an iPad, and am syncing them both to one iTunes computer. Seems to be working fine. iTunes recognizes which device is currently connected and maintains separate sync configurations for each.
I have the iPod Touch set up to automatically sync all music, videos, podcasts, etc, when connected. (All but the ones unchecked in the library listing, this is only 10 or so high res videos that I want to sync only to the iPad.) So the iPod Touch is essentially set to sync everything but a few exceptions.
Then the iPad I have configured to only sync selected files. Those are the high res movies I want only on the iPad, a few of the apps, some music videos, etc. So the iPad is set up kind of opposite to how the iPod is set. That is, instead of syncing almost everything, sync only those items explictedly selected.
So when I add a new for example high res movie to the iTunes library, I unchecked it in the library listing which prevents it from being synced to the iPod, and I checked it on the movie tab of the iPad device so that it IS synced to the iPad.
Works fine.

I have a new iPad and I'd like to upload my Microsoft Office from my desktop MAC so that I can sync them. Is that possible?

I have a new iPad and I'd like to upload my Microsoft Office from my MAC desktop so I can sync them. Is that possible?

Boyd is correct. You cannot install your Mac OS MS Office to the iPad and there is no official MS Office app.
I am assuming you want to edit Office documents on youy iPad. There are three apps that I would recommend you looking at. Please note that no app is going to give you the same experience as a desktop app.
1) Documents To Go by Dataviz - This is the one I have used since my Palm days. You can edit Word, Excel and Power Point documents. There are two versions. The basic one ($9.99) allows you to edit Word and Excel documents. The Premium version ($16.99) allows you to edit Word, Excel and Power Point documents. It also allows you to use Google Docs, Dropbox, Box.net, iDisk and Sugarsync.
2) Quickoffice is another popular choice. ($14.99) I do not have personal experience with this one, but alot of people have said it is a good app.
3) The last one is Office^2 ($7.99 http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id364361728?mt=8) Again I do not have personal experience with this one, but he has gotten some good reviews.
If you are want an app to just view your documents, I would highly recommend looking at Goodreader for iPad. It allows you to view many types of file. It will also allow you to annotate PDF documents.
Good luck!!

Is it possible to sync ipad 1 w app-tv ?

Is it possible 2 sync ipad w app tv. .??

Even if it were possible to update a 1st gen iPad to iOS 7, the performance would likely be pretty dismal. This is the reason why Apple has minimum requirements for iOS devices.

HT4059 Not everything in iBook (iPad) will sync to iTouch , why?

Not everything in iBook (iPad) will sync to iTouch , why?

Do you have any playlists? If so, I think for some reason the playlists may be causing the issue.
I had exactly the same issue (though for my iPhone) however I managed to get around it without blasting my iTunes music folder.
This is what I found:
Initially in iTunes, I had "Entire music library" selected - I had songs that were missing.
First, I unselected "Sync Music" and then did a sync to clear out my iPhone.
After the sync to clear everything out, I went back to iTunes and reselected "Sync Music".
I then selected the "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres".
I then only selected everything in my "Genres". Reason being is that it was the shortest list. I also made sure all my songs were associated with a genre.
I also made sure none of my playlists were selected.
After the sync, I had all my music!
I hope that helps you and anyone else who had a similar problem.

Why the **** can I only sync my phone with one itunes program. Perhaps I have two computers with music on them that i'd like to add to my iphone,ipad,itouch,ipod. Fix this please thanks.

Becasue that is the way the ****** iphone is designed.

There is nothing to ****** fix.
It is the ****** design of the iphone. It is ****** by design.

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection?

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac and Time Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however have them all currently on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported. If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
See: iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.

ITunes freezes when syncing iPad to a new comp

I recently bought a new computer to replace my old one, and now my iPad 2 won't sync. iTunes just freezes, even though I "authorized" the new computer (which has a different name than my old one). What measures can I take to sync my iPad to the new computer? This is driving me a bit crazy, so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. (In case it matters, I'm using the latest version of iTunes on Windows 8).

I've occasionally had my iTUnes freeze, both on my win 8 and my old vista computer. Every time you open iTunes, it reaches out to connect to the iTunes store. You may need to use the task mananger to shut it down or restart your computer if it's frozen at the moment. Then try opening iTunes, let it get up and going, then plug in your iPad. It's possible that it starting up, communicating iwth Apple and trying to communicate with your iPad all at the same time is too much for it and it freezes.
iTunes 11 can be very glitchy when it's in the mood to be. You almost have to baby it by letting it get going before you try to do something else.

Trying to sync iPad saying already synced to different library on computer

trying to sync ipad
saying it already synced to different library on my computer
how ??
what do i do??? to change libraries

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am an Hardcore fan of Apple productios for their leadership in innovation.
I was using iTouch previously which doesnt use to behave in this way.
Having a single all the time with the user is very difficult and not parcticale. I am very much suprised if it was really designed in that way.
I used several smartphones and none of the smartphone has this kind of problems.
I am not sure if I had put the question correctly so for your reference, I am inserting an image. Please refer to it.

Hi Gavinchick,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with these tips if your iPad mini is stuck on "syncing" when you try to back it up:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.

While syncing iPAD with more than one pc my old data on iPAD lost

Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?

You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time. That is why iTunes erases the old data from the previous sync. You can Manually Manage music and videos - but that is different than syncing.
Manually content manually on iPod, iPhone or iPad
Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
Yes. you can select exactly what you want to sync - music, apps, photos etc. Just do not unselect any content in iTunes that you want to keep on the device or it will be erased when you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
Yes. But you have to sign into the ID that you want to use on the iPad in order to sync that from that ID.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. You have to remember to keep switching back and forth if you use two ID's.
Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
This will tell you what iTunes backs up.
iTunes: About iOS Backups
Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?
Restore your device to factory settings.

Syncing between PC and laptop possible in creative cloud ?

Hi, I have a synced collection on my computer now, but when i try to sync it with my laptop, it says it has another catalogue synced. Is it not possible to sync between my laptop and my PC ? I think ive had it done in the past, but since my clean install on the laptop, its not working anymore and i cant figure out how to fix it. (BTW: i have it synced on the ipad as well, just wont work on the laptop for some reason)

10.3.x is not supported with the iPhone.
You need 10.4.10 per the minimum specifications provided or 10.5 which will be available this Friday.

Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or notebook. Worked fine last week, but over weekend just started having issues.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has appeared recently that is preventing your Time Capsule (TC) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. Look for other Wi-Fis that may be operating nearby. Note those with the strongest signals and which channels they are operating on ... then change the channel used by the TC to be at least 3-5 channels away.

I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.
