Syncing new ipad with old

how do i get data from old ipad to new ipad?

If you sync and backup with iTunes.....
Transfer all purchases into iTunes, backup your old iPad and sync with iTunes one last time. Then plug in the other iPad, restore from the backup of the old one and sync with iTunes in order to put all of your apps, photos, music, movies, etc, on the device. The data is contained in the backup, but your media resides in your iTunes library.
If you have gone PC free and you only use iCloud.....
Backup the old iPad one last time and then restore the new iPad from the backup of the old iPad when you are presented with that option during activation. All of your data and content will download onto the iPad when you restore from the iCloud backup.

Quickest way to sync new ipod with old one?

Hi all - I have not been able to find an answer to this specific circumstance, so I'm hoping someone here can help... Here it is:
I have two Nanos (we'll call them "new" and "old"). All of the music that is on the "old" Nano is on my MacBook, in iTunes. I'm not switching computers, fyi.
Because I have thousands more songs on my computer than are on the Nano, I would like an easy method for putting all of the songs that are on the "old" device onto the "new" device (easier than manually locating them in iTunes and adding them to "new" Nano).
The solution might have something to do with syncing, I dunno. Should I select "sync music" on the "old" device? If so, what does that do and what is the next step for adding those exact songs to my "new" device? Whatever the answer, please spell it out for me. Thanks!

Nevermind. Found my answer here: Transferring a playlist from one ipod to another

Sync new iPad with iTunes

When I am trying to sync my new iPad the new one asks for a password. I cannot use my current iPad password, nor my ITunes password and it keeps resetting.

Hmm, is Whitson's iPad the current name of the device, or an earlier iPad? Does that image you've shown occupy the entire iTunes window or is the usual column of library sources and playlists shown down the left-hand side. If the list is there then the iPad should appear as a device that you can right/option/cmd-click on. Failing that with all your purchases having come from the store you should be able to set up as new device and then reacquire all your store content but that would lose any data and settings. I suppose that after restoring as new, then backing up to the machine, you could then try restoring the backup from the cloud, and then if needed go through the original process as I suggested.
You might find that if you opt to set up as new nothing actually changes until you choose some content to sync, which may give you the opportunity to use the process I've previously outlined. Sorry I can't be clearer but I know that method has worked for a few people who have had to switch computers after a crash. I'm not personally familiar with the process under your precise circumstances.
The "cut the cord" feature which allowed you to set up the device without connecting to a computer is all well and good but if you have to go through this sort of effort when the time comes that you want to hook up your device to a library on your computer it becomes a complete nightmare.

HT4972 new iPad with old iOS

I recently got a new iPad because my first one died. I was given an iPad with iOS4, but my previous iPad had iOS5. Now I am unable to sync my new iPad because it has as an earlier iOS version. Does anyone know how to update to iOS5 without first syncing?

With iOS 4 you can only update when connected to a computer's iTunes (with iOS 5+ installed you can then update directly on the iPad) - connect the iPad to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button

Syncing new iphone with old account without reciving old data

I got a new iPhone. my old one crashed and was replaced. I'm using my old apple id. I want to sync my new iPhone to iTunes but I don't want to sync all the data already stored on iTunes from the previous iPhone. so actually, I want to sync my iPhone like it's it first syncing to iTunes. I want iTunes to receive contacts, apps etc from the iPhone and not the other way around. problem is that the apple id I'm using was already synced with the previous iPhone. could that be done?
thank you

Sync new iPad with Mac bu Mac not recognizing

i plugged my new, first time used iPad into my mac and the mac is not recognizing the iPad. I then plugged the iPad into my PC and the PC did recognize and take me to the registration page in iTunes. I am wanting to sync with the Mac. Any ideas how to get the Mac to recognize?
Mac OS X
Version 10.4.11

Yes it is however, you can only use it for the following:
iPad 1st Gen
No Uses
iPad 2
No Uses
The New iPad
Use your iPad as a wireless hotspot. 3G/4G Versions only.
I hope this helped. I see you are meaning iPad 2, my iPad 1 sometimes uses my iMac as a hotspot (I think- The simbol is shown), even though my iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as my iMac.

Syncing used ipad with old user's account

I just had a friend give me their old ipad when they bought a new ipad2. I'm having trouble using iTunes because it still sees his account info when trying to sync or move files to the ipad under my account. How do I get rid of the friend's account info so I can get iTunes to accept my info and sync?

What you are entitled to is the MBP and the original OS that the MBP came with which is Lion and the associated applications.
In order to install Lion, you will have to boot your MBP with the OPTION COMMAND R keys held down. That will connect you to the Apple servers and they will check your MBP. A 4 option menu will appear. Select the Lion installation option and install Lion.
Now your MBP will be registered in your name and you may open your own Apple account. If you want Mt. Lion, then you will have to purchase it from the Apple online store.
Ciao.

Syncing new phone with old backup

i had an iphone 3g, which i lost two days ago. luckily its insured, and i am eligible for an upgrade as i'm out of contract, so i will soon have a nice shiny iphone 4g.
my phone company (O2) say i will be able to have my old phone number, but obviously i'll be using a new microsim, as the sim from my old phone was lost with it.
my question is, when i plug my new iphone 4g into my mac, will i have to start from scratch, or can i use the backup of my old 3g to set it up?
thanks in advance
paul

I had some random issues syncing my new iPhone 4 with my 3G back-up. It wasn't the most recent back-up since when I backed it up right before I plugged in the 4, it hung up and didn't save anything (I always had issues syncing the 3G to my MacBook- no clue why). Didn't save my application or their configurations. Plus there are a lot of new upgrades on the 4 that weren't available on the 3G (especially since I didn't upgrade to the newest software). I basically went through and re-setup everything and it was much better than the back-up, although I did have to re-download some apps. Not a big deal. The 4 syncs and updates seamlessly and apparently now so does the 3G (gave it to my dad who restored it and uses it now, on a PC though).
Good Luck!

Syncing new computer with old music files with Iphone.

Hello all, recently I got a new computer and transfered all my old music files over and updated my itunes on my new pc. I also de-authorized my old pc and authorized my new pc. However, when I plug in my Iphone into my new computer it doesn't seem to be syncing at all. I've also added a new album to my music files on my new pc and since my iphone isn't syncing, the songs haven't shown up on my phone. I was wondering does anyone have a solution to this? or what I need to do to have my new pc syncing with my iphone?
Thanks.

Help syncing new iPad with Outlook 2007 on my PC and Blackberry Tour 9630

I have searched for answers and am stumped and frustrated...
I bought an iPad (am trying to become I-friendly) and thought it would be convenient to be able to sync my “stuff” (Contacts, Calendar and notes) to the iPad so we’ll have access to it while traveling. I use a Blackberry Tour 9630 and a PC with Outlook 2007. I have synced them effortlessly for years using Desktop manager. I make changes to my ‘stuff’ on both phone and PC and when I sync - the most current ‘stuff’ gets placed on both. Voila! Not anymore.
When I set up my iPad to work with iCloud things got screwy. A LOT of my contacts just disappeared - mainly the ones I use frequently. Now my Outlook 2007 calendar has three calendars on the screen:
Calendar in iCloud - pink
Calendar Merge Conflicts in iCloud - green in a tab behind the pink calendar
Calendar - blue
I use a cox email account and my blackberry gives me the choice when deleting an email whether to delete on the device or on the server. I use that feature a lot when we are traveling for a few weeks. It is nice to come home with no redundant emails on my PC.
1-How do I combine all the calendars so I have the same thing on each device, Hoping to stay updated on each when I make changes
2-Can the iPad email give me the option to delete from the server when viewing an email on a cox.net account?
I am not an expert but fairly tech savvy and usually can get these things done. I need help! I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions - Thanks in advance

Make sure all content is transferred and device is backed up before you update.

Synced new phone with old phone settings. Can I undo?

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to a 4. I used the 4 for three months before I synced it to my iTunes. (I just used iCloud for contacts...etc). When I plugged in my new phone it synced to the settings from my 3gs. How do I get all of my photos, messages and contacts back? Can I "undo" the restore if I it was never backed up to my computer in the first place?
Can taking it to the Apple store help?

Oh too bad. Wish you good luck tomorrow then. Hope you retrieve them. If not, at least you learned something from it.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
