Upgrading to new iPad, don't have apple password from apps purchases

I'm trying to upgrade my son's iPad to a newer iPad.
We don't have his mother's apple password, who's now in France,
and has lost that password. She is no help. 
The old iPad was originally loaded with apps from her account.
My iMac is now authorized to back-up his old iPad, but we can't get his
apps purchased from her account.
How do we back-up those app purchases, already on the old iPad, to my iMac,
so we can then load them onto the new iPad?
Can we do it through the iCloud with out her apple password?

You can't without redownloading them from an accessible Apple ID, which may require repurchasing paid applications.

  • Ave been using an ipad for si have been uongs, and app purchases, using my wifes apple id. now i have a new apple lap top, i am wondering why would i get my own id as opposed to keeping "ours"

    i have been using an ipad for songs, apps, etc, i now am migrating to a mac book, my question is, i have been using my wifes apple id for all of our purchases, sharing, etc.  now that i have a laptop, i am wondering, why should i get my own user id or why would i not just continue on using our common id?
    she worries about us taking up too much space in the cloud, which i am not using yet but will learn

    i dont know why you would make a separate account either if you have been getting on fine before, unless you need to talk to your wife with iMessage or something
    if you do run out of cloud storage it's probably cheaper to just upgrade it than make your own apple id and have to buy everything again

  • I can no longer use my ipad to show Netflix on my TV since upgrading to ios7. I don't have Apple TV or airplay icon showing. What can I do to correct this problem?

    This issue is with Netflix upgrade. I spoke to Netflix and here is the solution. Remove Netflix app from Ipad and reload the app version 5.0.1. This updated version will correct the problem.

  • TS2446 So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

    After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version".  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry,
    Yes, the error message is exactly like that  ("Database error: failured to persist version")
    No photos will import at all.  I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2. 
    About the difference?  iPhoto and Photos .  Are there two softwares?
    I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro,  iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto.  It's call iPhoto library.  At one point I turned off streaming. 
    Thanks again Larry HN.

  • I have a new Ipad and was trying to sync from Itune what is on my Iphone. It keeps saying "Ipad can't be used Apple Moble device service isn't started".  ????  help  It also said that on my Iphone just now when I was trying to connect to Itunes.

    Right click 'computer' in your PC/laptop (whichever).  Click 'Manage', then 'Services and Applications', then 'Services', you should see 'Apple Mobile Device' running or stopped.  If you couldn't find 'Apple Mobile Device', it means you haven't download iTunes into your PC/laptop (whichever).

  • I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won't launch apps. When asked say "launch Facebook" Siri responds with "it doesn't look like you have an app named Facebook" and I get the same results when trying to launch any

    I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

  • HT201335 I can't find the AirPlay menu through control centre on iPad mini.  I don't have Apple TV. Means I can't stream some content (Netflix is useless now)

    I can't find the AirPlay menu through control centre on iPad mini.  I don't have Apple TV. Means I can't stream some content (Netflix is uselessnow)Everything worked Ok but today an error message said I couln't stream video to TV. Fix suggested is turn off mirroring in AirPlay when there is NO MENU for Airplay in iPad mini or iPhone. All support advice keeps on about Apple Tv. I'm NOT USING Apple TV

  • I upgraded my new Ipad to OS 5.1.1, and all apps have started crashing. As soon as I open an app it crashes right away. Tried syncing, restarting, hasnt made a difference. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    I upgraded my new Ipad to OS 5.1.1, and all apps have started crashing. As soon as I open an app it crashes right away. Tried syncing, restarting, hasnt made a difference.

    You mention that you have tried restarting, but did you try a reset?
    Simultaneously hold down the Home and the On buttons until the iPad shuts downs. Ignore the Off slider should it appear. This will take ten seconds give or take. After the sut down is complete, press the Onn button to restart. NOTE: this is different from simply shutting down the iPad.

  • How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

    How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

    You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

    I  wonder if another provider would really be much different?  Read some of the other carrier forums - seems to be the same story everywhere.
    I'm not disagreeing with you - I've found that I am usually more informed about Verizon policies and procedures than some of the reps in our local store.

    My wife has gave me her old ipad what would be the best way to set up her new ipad and to have my own ID?

    Backup the old iPad first, either to itunes or iCloud.
    Once that is done, setup the new iPad from the backup. Choose the Restore from Backup option when setting up the new iPad.
    iOS: How to back up /  Restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    When that is done, wipe the old iPad clean and set up as new.
    Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings
    You can create a new Apple Id when you set up the iPad again.

  • Can i change my iPad 3 for new iPad retina in the apple store?

    Can i change my iPad 3 to new iPad retina in the apple store by paying few money？

    I have a similar issue...my uncle asked what I wanted as a present and I said a new ipad came out with support for Australian 4G networks and to get that...it's the 'new' ipad. Of course he went into the store and asked for the latest 'new' ipad on 28/10 and they sold him an ipad3 which retailed for the same price as an ipad4.
    So when I got it I was advised by the telco that my version was not compatible. I called applecare to ask them if I could swap it being 1 week out from purchase and of course they said go back to the store it was purchased from. No surprises the store doesn't want anything to do with it, they just want to get rid of their old stock.
    Now I am stuck with an ipad which I did not want (I specifically did not want the ipad3 because it did not support our local networks' 4G) and Apple have washed their hands of it.
    This is terrible policy...at first I was upset Apple or the reseller won't exchange it but really I don't blame the reseller now...my grief is in the stupid Apple naming policy..."oh it's the new ipad with retina display now" .... hang on a second the ipad3 was also the 'new' ipad with retina display (maybe not by name) and was never referred to as the ipad 3rd gen...now they're saying oh it's now the ipad3 you want the ipad with retina display...guess what your stupid naming convention means half the noobs out there don't know what they're buying.
    The identical naming convention has caused my uncle to purchase an obsolete product for top dollar...I have an iphone 3g, 4, 4s, touch, etc. well I think it's safe to say android is the future. I'm already finding streaming media is made impossible by Apple's DRM and policies...something my $100 andoid tablet can do easy.
