When i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my game from the beginning

when i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my games from the beginning or will they sync over to where i left off?

Game settings are part of the backup. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPad for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPad for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

I'm trying to sync my iPad with my new pro and i get message saying 5 computers authorised ?? what to do

i'm trying to sync my iPad with my new pro and i get message saying 5 computers authorised ?? what to do

1. De-authorize one of your five computers and then authorize your new Pro.
Or, if you don't have five computers and got rid of them before you de-authorized them...
In iTunes, click your iTunes user ID in the upper right corner of the iTunes Store. Select Account and then press the "De-Authorize All" button. All of your computers will be de-authorized. Then it is just a matter of re-authorizing the computers that you want to use with iTunes.

My macbook pro hard drive went bad and i bought a new one and installed it. Now i have the old corrupted hard drive in my hand and i am looking to recover my files from it, any suggestions please? too bad i never backed them up.

After you have installed the OSX on the new HDD in your MBP, install the old HDD in an enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB. Then try to drag and drop your data to the new HDD.
If this proves unsuccessful, you may look for data recovery software on the Internet. There will be free trails to see if it will work or not. If the trial suggests that it will work, then you will have to purchase the software.
The last resort is a professional data recovery service that will offer NO guarantees and charge a lot of money.
As you now can appreciate, backups eliminate such predicaments.

HT1386 I have sync an ipad with a new computer and the photos have been transfered into files with no extensions. I can view them on the ipad but canot view and delete from the computer.

I have synced a new computer with the ipad and the photos have been transferred as a file with no exstention. I cannot view them on the computer but can on the ipad.

Well I forget the exact keys, but believe pressing and holding down CTRL before clicking Restore will allow you to browse and find the backup file (may be wrong).
In the end, as far as the iPhone thinks, it is a new computer so it will erase and resync stuff and as long as you loaded everything back into iTunes all should sync back. Main issue is other stuff like the data within the apps, notes, etc that are part of the backup which is why you would want to try to restore from the backup. If you don't mind losing data in apps (eg: do you care you have to relog into some apps and start over, don't care about game scores, etc) then you don't have to worry about the backup. If you have important data in some of those apps then you will need to restore from the backup.

When i sync my ipad, iphoto cannot be found and pictures will not load on to the ipad.

How can I get the iPad2 to find the pictures in iPhoto on my MAC so they can be loaded on to the iPAD?

So - just to be clear. The photos are in iPhoto; iTunes lets you select the albums/events to sync, but the sync just doesn't happen?
If so, one possible solution is to clear any pics you've created or saved on the iPad. It's been seen before that on odd occasions saving pics from a website or whatever on the iPad/iPhone screws up the iTunes sync.
f you need to keep the pics, email them to yourself as attachments then delete them from the iPad.

Can I sync my ipad with my wifes itunes and download her apps in addition to mine?

I would like to add applications from my itunes and my wifes itunes account to my ipad 2. Is that possible?

Contrary to the 2 above comments, iTunes content acquired from the iTunes Store can be shared with 5 other authorized computers. You may only sync an iOS device to one iTunes account, but you can share the content acquired by one iTunes Store account with other iOS devices.
The first thing that you and your wife need to do is to open iTunes and go to Preferences/Devices and check the box for Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Now you have control of your iOS device when it is connected to the other's account.
If you want the apps from your wife's iPad, connect the iPad to the computer and iTunes app to which you sync your iPad. Control click or right click her iPad's name in the iTunes devices list in the left column and choose Transfer Purchases. All purchased iTunes content on her iPad will by transfered to your iTunes account. After the transfer is complete, detatch her iPad and go to Authrize This Computer in the iTunes Store menu. Enter her Apple ID and password for her iTunes Store account and Authorize. Now all of her content is available to you and any iOS device which you sync to your iTunes account. You can do the same in reverse with your iPad for her.
The one thing to remember is that these are still her apps or your apps. So these apps can only be updated with the account that acquired them. If you open iTunes and see that there are apps with updates, to update your apps log into your iTunes Store account. To update her apps, log into her iTunes Store account. If you see apps to update but after logging into your iTunes Store account you are told there are no updates for you, then you know that the apps that have updates are hers.

I have the new iPad. Will I be able to download games from the Web? I want to change web browser to IE can this be done?

I have the new iPad with Safara, I perfer IE will I be able to download it?
Will I be able to download games at playgames rr .com?

You can download other browsers that can identify as I.E. - such as Atomic and iCab Mobile - they have to be the full paid versions of ether browser though not the free lite versions. If you identify as IE. it will be much like using the desktop version - but .... you still cannot download any applications from the web. Only App Store, iTunes and iBookstore content can be installed and used on the iPad.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

When will Aperture have support for RAF files from the new Fuji XPro-1?

How long does it normally take to get the RAW file format updated? Fuji say they sent the file details to Apple many weeks ago. This is a camera being given fantastic reviews in all professional magazines worldwide - but I'm stuck with an Aperture folder full of "unsupported image format" files.
Really annoying as I use the full suite of Nik plug-ins so I can't do anything with these files until Aperture is updated.

Per an interview with a spokeswoman from Fuji, they have indeed provided Apple (and Adobe as well) all the needed technical information in order to support the RAW files (i.e. algorithmic information created by Fuji for the non-standar filter array, etc etc). Please don't spread any more misinformation about it, it's already been flamed to death on all the online camera forums. You can still choose to 'blame' whomever you wish about why it's still not supported by Apple, but you can no longer reasonably assert that Fuji hasn't done their part by providing them what they need. Nondisclosure agreements were signed as well.
Having said that, I find it ridiculous at this point that it's not supported, for several reasons, some being the seemingly similar Fuji users who also use Aperture as well as the opportunity here for Apple to take some market from Adobe (who as of yet are not producing very great output files for Fuji X-trans). Apple was/has been at a disadvantage to Adobe for a long while now, and being an outsider, I presumed Apple would want to take advantage of this (and any similar) opportunity to grab some share from Adobe. I was well wrong, and it seems that other lesser-known-used companies are now doing just that.
Well good on them. I for one will be looking at any/all (new)comers and will certainly be going with the best of those. Sorry Apple, you lost another one. There was a real competition, for me, btwn Aperture and LR4 up till this point. You'd have to pull a rabbit out of your hat to keep my Aperture biz.

HELP WITH APPLE ID!! LOST PREVIOUS ACCOUNT TO NEW ONE, AND CANNOT UPDATE APPS!! WAS ALSO CHARGED £2 TO VERIFY CARD!! iPOD TOUCH NOT LINKED TO NEW ACCOUNT

I started my first Apple ID a few years back, at which point Google hadn't changed their email addresses from '@googlemail.com' to 'gmail.com'. So when this option became available, I decided to change my email to '[email protected]', instead of the older and more tedious to write '@googlemail.com'. There were no problems, everything worked as expected.
I've recently changed my password everywhere, and one of the places was my Apple ID. I was taken to the site: "https://appleid.apple.com" where I found the 'Manage my account' link. I successfully changed my password.
The 'Apple ID and Primary Email Address' caught my eye. It had always frustrated me that my Apple ID was the "old" email address from Google... and previous attempts to change this proved unsuccessful. It always stated that the (newer) '[email protected]' was already in use, which I put down to it being the same Google account. But this time it seemed to work. I received an email saying "Welcome to the iTunes Store", and since then I've had non-stop problems.
At first I though that the only problem was going to be that I couldn't download/update apps on my iPod touch, or download anything on the iPod's 'iTunes' store. I've managed to link my new account with the iPod so that I can download new apps on it, but every time I go to update an app, it automatically assumes that the Apple ID is my old account: '[email protected]'. I thought that this would be fine, just a minor inconvenience, that I could go to my computer, update the apps there, then sync the iPod and everything would be dandy.
I looked around and found myself at the IFORGOT site of Apple's. I've tried having an email sent to the 'older' Apple ID '[email protected]', but no email has come through, and I also tried the other option of answering security questions... the first thing it asks is your date of birth, and as far as I know, I only have one of those. However, it told me my DOB was incorrect. My old account no longer seems to exist!!
I tried updating the apps on my computer for the first time today, went to the 'Apps' tab on the left of iTunes and clicked the link saying '131 Updates Available'. This took me to the iTunes store as always, but when it had finished loading, it read: "No updates are currently available. To check for updates for another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID."
Because all of the apps I downloaded were on my old Apple account, none of them exist as far as my new account is concerned. My old account no longer exists, so I have no option to sign in to that and update them. My collection of apps is far too large for me to even consider just downloading them all again! As well as apps not existing, my iPod touch is not linked to my new Account. I understand I could restore my it so that it would then be linked to it, but actually, I don't want to have to arrange the homescreen again, and re-connect to all the WiFi connections I've already made. Those are all saved in the backup that is updated when it is synchronised.
Someone please help!! I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to get hold of Apple!!
Thanks for reading.

That is way too much to read.
Why did you start a new account?
You apps and other purchases will always be tied to the accoutn from which they were purchased. You will have to update them using the user id and password on the accoutn from which they were purchased.
The charge was very likley a authorization hold and will be removed.

You can click "Support " at the top of this page, hen click the link under "Contact Us' if you need to contact itunes support.

Help, need to know how to sync all iPad programs to new email and Apple ID!

Since getting my iPad, I've had to switch the Apple ID twice and now I have a new Gmail account (old email was also Gmail). How do I sync all my apps, programs and calendars over to the new accounts? Right now I can't update old apps because the Apple ID is no longer valid and I can't get my calendar to show my new email, only the old one.

Apps are always tied to the ID with which you bought them. You cannot transfer purchased content to a new Apple ID. Are you sure that the old ID is no longer valid? Try using the old ID and password to update your apps.

How to send my bookmarks from my old iPad into a new one and on my computer?

I have just recently got a new iPad 3. I got my bookmarks on my iPad 2, but I don't want to lose them. How do I send them onto my iPad 3 (and on my computer), please?
Thank you.

You manually created all bookmarks with Safari on your iPad 2? No bookmarks available with a browser on your computer that is supported for syncing with an iOS device?
The first time you connect a new iOS device to iTunes that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device. Safari bookmarks are included with the backup for the device.
