What is the easiest way to sync two ipads?

I just received a newer ipad.  how do I migrate the apps and data from old model?

Sync (and make sure to let it fully back up) the old one. Connect the new one to iTunes (I recommend a cable rather than wireless sync - first one will take a while if you have lots of songs, movies, etc) and instead of "set up as new device" select "restore from backup" and use the back-up from your original iPad.

  • What is the easiest way to sync multiple ipads to one computer

    Is it possible to (easily) sync multiple (10) Ipads to one computer?  My hope is to have all ten sales reps in the field, with the same info on their ipads.

    I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

  • Gave grandkids Ipads for Christmas.  I need to sync each to my Mac with their own Itune accounts.  I do have them on my computer with their own login.  What is the best way to sync their Ipads?

    I need to sync each of my grandkids IPads to my Mac with their own Itune accounts.  Each grandkid does have a login on my computer that I control.  On their IPads they each set up a ITune account.  What is the best way to sync their Ipads?  Is there something I need to make sure is turned on in their accounts on my computer?

    Hi Jodel,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your grandkids each have a user account on your Mac, you can use the steps in this article to set up syncing with each user account and iPad:

  • What's the easiest way to sync my new 2G nano to my 1G nano library?

    Ok, this shouldn't be too tough. I want to give away my Nano to a friend and simply connect my new 8GB Nano to my current iTunes library setup. What's the easiset way to do this?

    Connect your new Nano and follow the on screen instructions, it will find your existing iTunes and update. Depending on the size of your library you can have it update the whole lot, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences:
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists or "Sync Music - All songs and Playlists" in iTunes 7. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only or "Sync Music - Selected playlists" in iTunes 7. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists or "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes 7. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • What is the best way to sync two computers

    I have my work computer and my home computer and I would like my photos and work I do on one show up on the other and vice versa. What is the best way to accomplish this?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Lightroom wasn't designed to do this.
    The workaround that works the best from Lightroom's point of view is to put your catalog file and all photos on an external HD and move this external HD back and forth. Of course, the drawback is that you have to carry the external HD with you.
    Some people have experimented with putting the catalog file in the cloud, and photos on a shared network drive, so both computers can access everything. This has certain disadvantages, particularly if you use the catalog on one computer before it has synchronized from the other computer; and you can search these forums for details.

  • What is the easiest way to sync Google Cal and Contacts with an iMac?

    iTunes will sync Google Contacts, but not calendar. Weird. Why? What's the best fix?

    There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
    1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
    Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
    Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks.  The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
    If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.

  • What is the easiest way to sync and back up 2 iPhones with different accounts on one computer?

    My parents have gotten a new Windows 8 computer and want to use it to back up and sync their phones for updates. They don't share an iTunes account but they do share the credit card used to make purchases. They also so not want to set up "his and her" accounts on the computer. Also they are getting new phones next week. Should I just make an account for them to share and delete their old accounts, or will signing in and out of iTunes based on who is using it keep their information seperate...or is there a much simpler way to do it that I am totally missing?

    I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

  • What is the easiest way to upgrade 100  Ipads to IOS5.

    Got 100 brand new Ipads, want to upgrade them all to IOS 5.  Right now I'm having to register every one, naming them all like they should be, and then manually upgrading each one.  Please tell me there is an easier way.  I see Lion Server lets you manage them, but I'm not sure if that would include upgrading.  Probably in the next 6 months, we're going to be responsible for another 100-200, so I'd like to have something in place.  I've used the Iphone Config Utility to setup the wireless and make a few changes, but nothing really big.  Would a MDM be able to upgrade them?  Is Lion Server an actual MDM?
    Thanks for any help.

    This says that you can update IOS.  Gonna play with it later.

  • What is the best way to sync a second Ipod (7th generation nano) to itunes

    What is the easiest way to sync a second Ipod (7th gerneration nano)?  I want all my songs on both ipods.

    iTunes treats each iPod separately, so you can set up each iPod's syncing as desired, without regard to the other one.  You can connect them both at the same time, and set them up differently or identically.
    Here is a convenient way to set up automatic syncing, and in your case, keep both iPods in sync with each other.
    I want all my songs on both ipods.
    First, if your entire iTunes music library ("all of my songs") fits on the iPod, it will be easy.  Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.  Set it to Sync Music.  Below that, chose to sync Entire music library.  Apply the change.  Your entire music library syncs to your iPod.  Repeat for other iPod.  Any changes you make to your iTunes music library going forward syncs automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).
    Otherwise, if your music library does not fit (or you want to be more selective), you need to set up the Music tab, but choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  This is where you can keep it simple... 
    Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Songs."  Add ALL of the songs you want on your iPod to that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, find and select ONLY that new playlist under Playlists.  Apply the change.  The songs on that playlist sync to your iPod.  Repeat for other iPod.  Going forward, when you want to update songs on your iPods, just update that playlist (add and remove songs).  Changes you make to that playlist sync automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).

  • What is the easiest way to transfer music from my ex's itunes library to mine? We both have Macbooks and we do have home sharing.

    Over the years my ex's and I bought tons of music off itunes, but always bought it on her Macbook. Now that we aren't together I want to copy all of the music from her itunes library and import it into mine. Is this possible, and what is the easiest way?
    Many Thanks

    the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    that would ensure everything (including playcounts, ratings, original "date added", which home sharing doesn't copy over) will be transferred. it would also ensure that any mobile devices (iPhone, etc.) will simply keep on syncing without problems.
    you can also use an external HD (or your LAN) but make sure to copy the entire iTunes folder.

  • I want to use 1 itunes account but with 3 different iphones 2 for the kids and one for me, what is the easiest way to do that?

    I want to use 1 itunes account but sync 3 different iphones, 2 for the kids and 1 for me.  So I would like to have different programs, songs, apps etc for each phone.  What is the easiest way to do that

    Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

  • What is the Easiest way to create a playlist?

    What is the easiest way to create a playlist without going through all 1500 in my iTunes?  I know some artists I want all their songs.......others I don't.

    I have WMP on my computer and know you can quite easily make playlists within it.
    Then if you connect your player to the computer and drag and drop the playlist into the sync
    screen you should then be able to transfer it to the player.
    Not tried this way as I always use Zen Media Explorer for making playlists.
    Gi've it a try-you have nothing to lose.
    Best of Luck

  • What is the best way to sync media onto the iPhone using iTunes?

    I know of two ways- one is be simply dragging items onto the iphone folder. The other is by clicking the iphone folder and selecting which playlists,artists, ect I want to sync.
    Is there any difference between the two?

    I have the same question: what is the best way to sync documents between mac devices?
    But I want to be clear:  normally when we use the word "synchronize" or "sync" we are referring to an automatic update to the latest version of the document, whatever the document.
    Just to be clear:  to "transfer" documents is not really the same as to "synchronize".  I will add to the question here with my thoughts. Please excuse me if the om only wants to transfer documents.
    We have tried, over many months, to use SugarSync.  It worked great when I only put in about 10 files to be synced.  It took the latest version and updated it on the other computers that were connected.  But when we tried to sync the whole disk ... we just could NOT get it to work right. Meaning it would scan absolutely ALL of the files on the computer looking for the ones that were modified rather than just taking the lastest ones modified and syncing those.  Their tech department was not much help: I followed all of the steps they told me to do but we just could not get it to work right.  What a disapointment (and a loss of money).
    I would love to find a software that automatically detects what the last modified files were and it will update ONLY that on the other devices (no matter what kind of files they are).
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

  • HT1329 I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer.  I don't see any of my playlists on the new computer.  What is the easiest way to transfer my playlists without having to recreate each one?

    I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer, so the new one has a totally different user interface.  I signed on to my account and saw my music but I have no playlists on the new computer.  What's the easiest way to replicate or restore my playlists as I had them in the old computer and in my iPod?

    OK, thanks for the response.  I'm copying it onto a memory stick to transfer it to the new computer.  Still have two questions:
    1. Since there is already an iTunes folder on the new computer, created when iTunes was downloaded, where exactly do I copy the old folder onto the computer so that iTunes can find it?  In the old interface, there used to be a field where one could designate the path to find music and I don't see that in the new interface.
    Assuming the above takes care of putting my playlists onto the new computer...
    2.  How do I add music that is currently stored in a back up file but was not on my old computer's drive?  I'm worried that I would have to add these one by one somehow, and there are a lot of songs.
    Thanks again.
