Trouble downloading apps to my iTunes and new iPad -

Hi
I just got my iPad, (yayay!)
but...
for some of the apps I keep getting this message
"iTunes couldn't download your purchase - you don't have write access to your iTunes media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store>check available downloads." I can't find an iTunes media folder where it says it should be and I have no idea where to look and what to do, any suggestions???
Very grateful

ae6400t, your problem is actually unrelated to the problem the original poster was experiencing.
In your case, simply use your iPad to download and update any apps you wish to purchase. Some apps are quite large, though, so you should be sure you are on a wifi network when downloading apps if at all possible.
You mention you don't have a Mac -- does that mean you only have a PC, or no computer of any kind besides the iPad? If the former, you can of course sync it to your PC using iTunes for Windows. It's not advisable to run an iPad without ever syncing it, since that would mean you have no backups of your device, nor any way to receive iOS updates.

Question on itunes and new Ipad mini

I have a ton of music on my pc and I was wondering if theres a way to upload it to my new Ipad mini?? Anyone?

Yes. You will need to install iTunesa on your computer, and the add your musci to iTunes.
When that is done, you'll need to sync iTunes with your iPad mini to transfer all the music to it.

Unable to download newest version of ITunes and sync IPad

I have an old computer that we have used to sync our devices. After the IOS update I tried to sync my IPad2 to the computer however it wants me to update ITunes. This comuter has fallen into disrepair and will not allow me to download the newest version of ITunes. We are going to start using a new computer however there is data on the old computer that is not on the device and we need to sync it before disposing of this computer and moving our data to another computer.
Any ideas on what I can do?

I am pretty sure that you can still but Leopard - maybe even search the online Apple Store.
If it were feasible and affordable, the ideal situation would be to upgrade your Mac - buy a new one with Snoe Leopard on it. That's easier said than done with you having just bought an iPad. But Leopard will be as high as you can go on the Power PC and soon Lion will be here.
I recently (3 months ago) upgraded my Leopard MacBook to Snow Leopard in anticipation of Lion. I love Macs and Apple products, but at some point, as with other tech devices, you have to upgrade to keep up with the technology.
Good luck!

HT3702 can i download free content from itunes and app store without any billing information?

I am a iPhone 3gs user firmware version 3.1.3 . the question is can i download free content from itunes and the app store without billing info ? please help !

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

A friend of mine downloaded an app from the internet onto my iPod Touch 4 so I could play pokemon on my iPod, I deleted the app but now iTunes and the App Store won't open, they say that the certificate for this server is invalid. What should I do?

Why does my iPod 4th generation say the certificate for this server is invalid when trying to access iTunes? I've never had an issue until this recently.

She must have signed into her own Apple ID on your iPad in order to sync her content from iTunes so try this and see if it works.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. See if your ID is showing in there and if it isn't - tap on her ID, sign out and then sign in with yours.
You should not be syncing to to different iTunes libraries. The iPad can only sync with one iTunes library without erasing the the content on it if you decide to sync to another iTunes library.
