Tune up an iPad?

My (original version) iPad seems to need a tune up. It crashes frequently, going black and then back to home screen from whatever app it's in. Any ideas on how to freshen it up?

This is what I suggest.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
See if that doesn't help for a while. There are many people that believe that this is totally unnecessary because the iOS should handle any memory issues that may arise and that these steps don't help. You can try it if you like and besides, you have nothing to lose - and then you can be the judge.

How do I move a tune from my iPad to my Windows PC?

For some reason I have a tune on my iPad which is no longer on my PC (not sure how that happened). Is there a way to move a tune from my iPad to the iTunes library on my PC?

Scroll down and see the "Update Your Device Using iTunes" section here:

There is no "update icon" in iOS versions earlier than iOS 5.
The update is very large (over 1.2 gigabytes). You need a good internet connection to download it to your computer. Maybe you'll need to take a trip to a city to get a good enough connection.

HT1491 do i have to purchase tunes twice - first iPad and again on pc?

i purchased some tunes on iTunes using my iPad. i log in to iTunes on my PC (not an apple product) but the same tunes i just purchased do not show up. when i search for them i am being asked to purchase. do i have to buy them AGAIN?!?!?!? thx for your response!

Open itunes, connect ipad, click File>Transfer Purchases
Or redownload them:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
They will only "show up" if you have selected this option. otherwise your music will only be where you put it.

How do I stop iTunes automatically downloading tunes onto my iPad each time I play them from iCloud?

I am a new iPad user (IOS 7.0.2) but have used iTunes for many years on both an iPod and a PC. My iTunes library is in iCloud and I have also been using AirPlay to play music from my PC through my HiFi system with no problems. Now I have the iPad I can play music directly on it, and also use it to initiate playback through my audio system, as before. The problem is that whenever I use my iPad to do this iTunes (Match?) automatically downloads both purchased and pre-owned music onto the iPad, which I do not want to happen. Is there any way of stopping this happening? Also, like others I am finding the process of removing unwanted music from my iPad a real pain.

Following discussions with Apple Support I now understand that iTunes / Match is not a streaming service in the strict sense in the iOS environment, and that in that music is always downloaded to the device when songs are played from iCloud. Furthermore, I now know also how to delete unwanted music stuff downloaded to my iPad: Settings -> General -> Usage -> Music -> Edit -> 'Red blob' on LHS -> Swipe from RHS -> Delete. Problem solved.

HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

Hi Ben,
Unfortunately Firefox Home only receives information and doesn't upload anything. That said, if you still have the Recovery key you can save your data if that's in our servers: [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
Let me know if that helps.

Tunes wirelessly from iPad to stereo without using the PC?

Does AirPort Express allow me to play iTunes music from iPad wirelessly to stereo without using a PC? I have a wireless network already set up.

Dropbox will work, and as long as you can live within a 2GB limit, it is free. You only pay for dropbox (or box, sugarsync or one of the many others) if you need more than the default complementary storage space.

Sync tunes purchased on iPad

When I try and sync my iPad music to iTunes on Windows desktop I get a warning that all music on the iPad will be erased. Since I purchased the music shouldn't I be able to add it to my iTunes Library and play it on my desktop as well?
Can anyone tell me how to get my purchased iTunes from my iPad into my desktop iTunes Library?
Thanks much!
Michael

Purchases are owned by exactly one Apple ID. So I will answer your complicated question by explaining how to set up your computer so it matches the Apple ID on your new iPad. Understand that anything with a different Apple ID does not belong to you, and will not work correctly by simply doing the following.
Open iTunes on your computer. Click on the Store. Then click "Accounts" in the middle right and sign in using your new Apple ID and password.

I have never experienced that or read about it either but before you resort to restoring - and that may be what you have to end up doing - try the basics first.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Sometimes just restarting the iPad can really help. The resolution may end up being more complicated, but try the simple things and then move on.
