I mean that I can't sync my ipad to my computer without erasing the existing data on my ipad.
Yes, that is correct, you can't, at least not without backing it up first. You will find some useful information here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/syncing/

  • TS1538 I have just installed Windows 8.1 and now my ipad and iphone are not recognised in iTunes, can anyone help?

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first post so if I've made any mistakes please forgive me. I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Professional however, now my iPad and iPhone are not recognised in iTunes. I have checked Device Manager and the iPad is listed, I also asked it to update the driver but it informed me that I have the most up to date version. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Skydiver119,
    Many thanks for your prompt reply however, I found this post and it worked perfectly. I hope it helps other users.
    Plug your Ipad USB cable into USB port.
    Go to your Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, then click Device Manager.
    Click on Portable Devices, and you should see Apple Ipad shown (or whatever apple device your using).
    Right-click the Apple Device your using, and choose Update Driver Software..
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.

  • When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

    When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

  • My Ipad 3rd Gen isn't being recognized by my computer...

    My Ipad 3rd Gen isn't being recognized by my computer / (doesn't show up in itunes)...
    I have tried to use it with the following:
    Windows 8 64
    Windows 7 64
    Windows 7 32
    Mac OS (newest)
    All tried with Itunes 10.7.
    I bought it about 3 weeks ago and activated it through WiFi.
    It has never been recognized on any computer I have tired it with.
    I also tried to connect in DFU mode(didnt work)
    Do I have a defective Ipad?

    make sure you have itunes installed on that computer. itunes comes with the essential ios drivers which are needed in order for your computer to recognize your iphone.

  • My iPad mini charger isn't working

    My iPad mini charger isn't working. I don't know what happened. it goes off and on sometimes. I use it constantly and now it just seems to not work. What should I do?

    Hi Only if I need help,
    Is your iPad Mini still within the 1 year Warranty period, and is the charger the one that came with it? If so, then you can go to any Apple Store and have the Charger replaced. It is also under the warranty.
    Cheers,

    "iMessage allows users to send texts, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi or 3G to other iOS 5 users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5."
    This is what it is and what it does. You both have to have iOS 5 installed on your supported device. If that's not what your setup is, then that's your answer.

  • IPad isn't recognised by computer and no longer charges

    I can't update to ios5 as my ipad2 isn't recognised by the computer when I plug it in to USB port.  I've tried to charge the iPad but the iPad states "not charging". It only trickle charges now.  Tried re-installing iTunes, using different USB ports and connectors as well as carols different plug sockets.  Very grateful for any suggestions as I'm baffled! Thanks

    You could try testing with another program like Image Capture found in the Applications folder.
    If that program also does not show the camera then try a different USB port on the computer.
    If you have a memory card reader you could try that as well.
    If the issue still persists then checking your camera's settings in keeping with TD's advice would be a good idea. It may be in the wrong mode.

  • Just updated DPS successfully but now my iPad Content Viewer isn't automatically updating.

    Hi Guys,
    just did the update successfully and evrything seeems to be working fine within InDesign.
    I have just added a new article to the folio I am working on but my iPad Content Viewer isn't checking for update automatically anymore, so I can view my new article.
    Any ideas why this happening?
    It was working yesterday when I was using it.
    Is there a way to force the ipad Content Viewer to check for updates?
    Please help asap, as I have a college deadline on Monday and need to check everything is working okay.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bob,
    I am new to DPS and this is my first time of creating folios, hence the deadline on Monday.
    Please ignore my second post, as I had forgot to sign in again after reinstalling on my iPad.
    Fingers crossed it does seem to be working again after the reinstall and I actually set all of the Version compatbilities to 24.
    I'll keep you posted if there are any more problems.
    Thank you for your reply.

  • IPad 1 isn't recognise as an external hard-drive.

    I have a bunch of folders on my iPad 1 that I want to add to my computer and back up. When I go to my 'Computer' file it isn't recognising my iPad as an extra/external hard-drive. The problem I'm having is that it IS being recognised in my iTunes and the camera software always reads.
    - I have tried different computers and USB ports
    - I have tried different USB cables
    - I have tried restarting both my computer and iPad
    - I have tried configuring
    - Apple Mobile Device Support is installed correctly
    - I've have no third party conflicts
    Yet still nothing.
    The operating system I'm using is iOS 5.1.1 as it will not let me update to the new versions anymore.
    Please help any ideas welcome esp if they don't include buying a new devise.

    You cannot mount the iPad like an external drive. It's not meant to work that way - at least out of the box anyway. There are some third party apps that let you do what you want to do.
    This is app will do that and it works in iOS 5.
    File Manager - Folder Plus on the App Store on iTunes
    However, depending on what is in these folders, you can use apps like DropBox, Or use iCloud, you can email files and you can use iOS file sharing to move files back and forth from iPad to computer

  • HT4245 I cannot get Facetime or IMessage set up on my IPad.  It isn't recognizing my password and Apple ID.  I have tried changing the password a few times and it still won't accept it.  Any ideas?

    I cannot get Facetime or IMessage to work on my IPad.  It isn't recognizing my Apple ID or password.  I have tried to change my password a couple times and it still keeps kicking me out of it.  What am I doing wrong?  My id and password work for everything else!
    Can anyone help?

    Settings\iCloud - Account is your Apple ID appearing here and is the place for your password full of stars.  The password needs to be the password for the email account - not your Apple password.
    Once you have checked this go to Icloud main page and ensure mail is on.
    Go to home screen and tap on Mail App - check that you can access your mail and your .me.com email account.
    The check settings\General\Restrictions and ensure facetime is On  if restrictions is enabled - alternatively turn restrictions off if you wish.
    Both services you require run through the cloud and need an active .me.com account to set up initially.  the default account can be changed from your @me.com later if you prefer.
    Also note that once iMessage is active - go to settings\iMessage and ensure your Apple id main email is listed in the Receive at Field.

    When I read my messages on my iPad it isn't recognised by mail on my iPhone and vice-versa, why not?

    Your messages may be synced with your email server, but whether you have read it or not is device-dependent.  That information is not synced.

  • I purchased Keynote for my iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad?

    I purchased Keynote for iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad too?

    I think that only files are synced, and not applications.
    On your iPad, go into app store and download keynote. 
    It is possible that you have to buy it again though, once for the desktop, once for ios devices. 
    please let me know if this helped. and if it's incorrect, so i can change it if so.
    Thanks,
    Finally iMac!
