Syncing old ipad to itunes account

My father just gave my son his old ipad and I am trying to sync it to my itunes account. It keeps referring back to my father's account. Help!

Ideally, you would simply restore a backup of your old (broken) computer to your new computer, and pick right up where you left off before your computer broke.
Failing that approach, here are some tips:

  • I lost my contacts and pictures when I synced up with my itunes account and it synced to my old apple id how do i get them back?

    I had contacts and pictures on my new iphone 4 from my old android. I went to sync my music and itunes account and it asked if I wanted to restore. I thought that it meant the music so i said yes. I lost all of my contacts and pictures and it set everything up from the old iphone/apple id that i used to have onto my phone. How do I get the pictures and contacts back?

    It also asked if I wanted to update my software and it did that too

  • My iPad won't backup. It's been synced to two different iTunes accounts. I'm trying to update to newest iOS.

    I'm trying to update my iPad to newest iOS  when I try to back it up it just sits there.   Even overnight it does progress.  The iPad has been synced to two different iTunes accounts and I have a new PC. THAT I'm using to sync it on.

    I would recommend you use a program called senuti that allows you to copy your songs over to a new computer from an iPod. Unfortunatlly you have to pay for the full version but it allows you to have 1000 free song capacity of copying over and a movie counts as the capacity of 1 song.

  • Two ipads one itunes account

    Old story, heard many times before I'm sure...two ipads, one itunes account. How do I set it up so one ipad is not always syncing the other's data etc?

    You select the exact content that you want to sync to each device. You can use one iTunes account with 6 iPads. You just have to set your sync preferences the way that you want them to be set for each device.
    Using apps as the example....
    Sync with iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You do the same thing in every tab in iTunes. Select the content that you want to sync to that particular iPad and iTunes will remember the configuration the next time that you sync.

  • Syncing new IPad to iTunes...dramas!

    Hello! So I've a pretty basic understanding so bear with me...
    My iTunes account was synced to my old laptop, which is now completely broken beyond repair. I have a new iPad mini but so far I can't find any way to sync it to my iTunes account without connecting it to the original laptop, which is obviously not an option. Help!!!
    Thanks, Danni

    Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old.  When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
    Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade.  Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).  However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
    Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit.  That's the dirference.

  • Want to sync iphone to my itunes account that I use with my ipod

    I have recently purchased an iphone 4S and when i switched it on for the first time it came up with a set-up screen.  One of the options was to set it up as a new iphone (new apple ID and password) or to restore from an itunes back-up.  I would like to sync it to my itunes account that I use with my ipod but my laptop is being repaired.  Which option should I choose? - Can I set it up as new iphone (ie new apple ID) and then sync it to my itunes account later or do I need to wait and connect it to my laptop?  It wont let me do anything with the phone until I have finished the set-up..
    Thanks!

    Do not set it up with a new Apple ID. You can set up as a new phone but with your old Apple ID. Purchases are specific to an Apple ID.

  • Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?

    Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.  However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
    If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • HT3819 i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing.  Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library?  It seems to be taking up space

    i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing.  Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library?  It seems to be taking up space and I'd like to free it up.

    I don't think I have made myself clear... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5 so everything was set up to sync with no problems at all. I transferred everything across to my new device by iCloud and everything appears as it was on my old device including on the face of it my music library. However, I cannot play all of the songs in fact the majority! When at home I can access the entire library via home sharing but that is no use away from the house. I never had this problem with iPhone 4 and although I am automatically syncing the device to iTunes it is not working. If I try to play songs via the device it skips until it finds a song that cAn be played and if I try and play the device via the laptop/iTunes an ! Type signal appears and I cannot play the song!
    Any ideas re solutions would be appreciated???

  • I have two ipods that cannot sync to my macbook because i had to replace the hard drive in the mac.  the ipods say they are synced to another itunes library and can't be synced with my new itunes account.  help!

    i have two ipods that are synced to my previous itunes account that was on my macbook before the hard drive crashed.  i can't sync with the new itunes on the new hard drive - help!

    Why did you start a new account?
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer to your new hard drive.
    Ipod will sync to one itunes library at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the ipod.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
