How do I install iTunes on my ipad2 without a computer?

My macbook died and I now don't have a computer to connect my iPad to. I never noticed that I did not have iTunes on my iPad until recently when I tried to purchase music and could not figure out why my music app is not connecting to the iTunes store.

If it is airprint enabled then use airprint:
iOS: AirPrint 101
Otherwise, you would have to find an app in the app store that provides for printing.

How do I download itunes 10.5 on my ipad2 without a computer?

My laptop died a few weeks ago and I want to upgrade to itunes 10.5 so I can use the icloud.

if your laptop died
then how do you plan to put itunes 10.5 on it?
you physically need the machine to install software on it.
the ipad can not download files off the net, nor can it launch itunes to install it.

Can I use my iPad2 without a computer?

My 82 year old mother in laws laptop died. We just bought her an Ipad 2. Can she move over to teh Ipad 2 or do we need to get her another lpa top?

It is possible to print from the iPad if you use a compatible wireless printer. Data storage is going to be your major issue. Unfortunately the iPad is not capable of using an external hard drive at this time. It is possible to store some things in iCloud, but please remember that is something that is only possible when the Internet is available. Further, if any data (music, pictures, movies, etc) is stored ONLY in one location it is susceptible to loss.
My opinion is that it would be a good idea to get an inexpensive desktop computer as a home base for the iPad - desktop because they tend to be cheaper than laptops - and use it for storing stuff. When she wants portability, use the iPad.
Best of luck.

If you don't have a computer, you can use a friends computer.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, laptop had to be restored b4 I backed up iPad or saved iTunes library. How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".
Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
Thanks

This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

This is going to depend on what wireless router got get. Some want to do all administration functions via a ethernet cable connection for security reasons.
Once the router is configured, you will no longer need a computer.
Try looking for a router that configures through a web browser & allows administration from a wifi connections.
I think the easiest thing will be to have a friend come over & configure with a laptop. I believe that you can configure the router without have a broadband connection. You could configure it at a friends house. Might not want to connect to the friends broadband so not to confuse your friends broadband. ( this is only a worry if the router also includes the broadband model. Just a wireless router without a modem is not worry ).

You'll have to delete sufficient GBs from your HD or transfer GBs to a second HD to free up sufficient space.

Is there any way to start a new ipad2 without needing a computer?

How do i start my new ipad2 without the need for a computer that is connected to itunes?

It depends on whether it's got iOS 5 pre-installed - if it has then you should be able to set it up wirelessly (http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#pcfree), it if has iOS 4 on then you need a computer

Is there a way to transfer garageband songs from my ipad2 to iphone4 without a computer?

I travel a lot and my goal is to record songs in garageband on the ipad 2, upload them to my iphone to use the film apps and make a video based on where i am at the moment. This for me would be an ideal portable , creative studio and i thought it would be easy to do but all indications are that i need a computer to get things transfered via itunes which kind of defeats the purpose of being mobile. Would be great if i could email the track to my mac account, open it on my iphone and then download it to itunes where i can then select for use in app film videos. It will then get uploaded to facebook. Any solutions? If not, please apple make this change so we dont have to be tied down to a computer. Any help is much appreciated!

When you email them to yourself there is then no way to download it straight to itunes. If you have been able to do this without a computer id like to kmow how you did it?

Have Macbook Pro & 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded & installed iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says "iTunes" Data too new to be used with this version of iTunes.

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??

Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?

Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup?

DFU Mode. Is it possible in anyway to enter this mode without a computer?

Hello.
Me and my friend have a big argument about DFU mode.
* He calims that it is possible to enter DFU mode without a computer at all.
* I claim that entering DFU mode without a computer or any other external hardware is impossible at all.
* I also claim that it is possible with a software only, without phisicaly touching the iDevice using iTunes or any other software.
I also explained him that DFU is "Device Firmware Upgrade" and it must get connected with a PC or MAC to get into this mode.
Can someone professionaly explain us the correct answer so that we can finaly solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Asaf Moraz.

Exactly! while i connect it to the computer it just power on the device.
When i press the power again without forcing it through hard reset and without connecting it to the computer it just power up.
That's why i am allmost sure there is no way to enter this mode (DFU) without beeing connected to the computer and tha's what i tried to prove.
Thanks a lot for your time by the way...
