Why cant I backup my ipad to my computer

Why cant I backup my ipad to my computer, there is plenty of memeory.

Personally I'd continue to backup to your mac, I see iCloud backup as a means to backup for those that don't have a mac/PC or are otherwise regularly away from it.

    Delete your most recent backup in iTunes (iTunes Preferences>Devices, click on the backup, click Delete Backup), if using a PC click Reset Sync History (also in Devices), then close iTunes, restart your device, connect your device again, open iTunes and try syncing again.

  • Why cant i copy my files from my computer?

    why cant i copy my files from my computer?

    What happens when you try, how are you doing it, and what are the files (music, films, documents ...) ?
    If you are trying to copy documents then you first need an app on the iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy to it - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
    If you are trying to copy music or films then are you using your computer's iTunes ?

  • I am not able to backup my ipad in my computer in order to update my ipad 3

    i am not able to backup my ipad in my computer in order to update my ipad 3

    Let's try the old classic reset, hold down the home button and screen lock button simultaneously until the screen goes black, and the apple logo appears then release.
    If it still does not work or you have tried that, then:
    1. Connect to your computer via USB.
    2. Turn off iCloud backups and select backup to this computer.
    3. Sync and backup.
    4. Go to iCloud and delete your previous backups.
    5. Turn on backup to iCloud in iTunes.
    6. Backup to iCloud on your phone.

  • Why should I backup my iPad to iCloud?

    I guess I just don't get it.  Currently I backup my iPad on my Mac.  There is plently of available space on my my hard drive.  Is backing up to iCloud supposed to be a security feature?  Is it six of one, half a dozen of the other?  Is it just personal preference?

    Personally I'd continue to backup to your mac, I see iCloud backup as a means to backup for those that don't have a mac/PC or are otherwise regularly away from it.

  • HT4623 why cant i update my ipad

    I am not sure which Ipad I have (I suspect the oldest version possible) but it will not allow me to update the software on it. Any ideas?

    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.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    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.

  • HT1296 why cant i move music from ipod to computer

    why cant i move my music from my ipod to my computer through itunes

    iTunes purchases by:

    For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • I can't backup my iPad to my computer so I can't update to iOS 5

    I have an iPad and I still can't update to iOS 5 since it came out. The original computer that my iPad would sync to is gone and I authorized my new computer but i never checked the music box and video box and app box so it doesn't sync but to back my stuff up to update, I need to sync but when I check the box to sync my music or videos exc.. it says all my music will be deleted and replaced with the music from my library but...there is no music or apps or videos or podcast in my library. and I do not want to lose my music and apps there are a ton of them. Any recommendations into fixing this problem?

    Transfer Purchase from the iPad to the computer.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left sidebar of iTunes and select Transfer Purchase. That will put all of the iPad purchased content into the iTunes library.

  • Why cant i charge my ipad 1st generation on my macbook 2006

    My daughter gave me her 1st generation ipad which is in mint condition but she couldnt send me the wall charger.  She also sent me a macbook 2006 which works great except the battery needs replaced.  I have an apple ipod classic and the usb cord but I can get the mac to recognize the ipad but display says not charging.  Is it charging or  do I need a specific ipad charger?  I was able to connect it to my old computer but it would only charge to 40% because i dont have the right amount of power.

    The MacBook more than likely does not supply enough power through the USB post to charge the iPad either. That's a 7 year old computer and that would be my guess. Apple includes that wall charger for a reason, and that's because they recommend charging that way.
    You can purchase the power adapter just about anywhere that sells electronics .... Online at the Apple Store, Amazon, eBay, etc.

  • Why cant i charge my iPad using my PC ?

    Please help

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.
