I have two iPads and I shared some apps from my itune log in A to my itunes log in B and so if the app was synced from iPad A then if I have an update it asks for password from iPad A instead of my actual password. Is there anyway to change this to just use my password for iPad B..?

Note … there is almost 1GB less available space on a NEW iPad compared to an iPad2 … so easier to fill up … and if you are close to the limit then it seels the Apps are the last thing to load … and so won’t if you do not have enough space …. I NEED 128GB!

Hi, I have sent my ipad for servicing and I expected them to change a new one for me, but they didn’t. I have deleted some important things in Calendar, and Mail. I did a backup before I sent it in, so I should have everything in the backup. The problem is when they returned the iPad to me, I wanted to do a ‘Restore from Backup’, and when I connected the iPad, it did an auto backup again even though I kept clicking cancel. (Damn) So now when I click restore from backup, it only allows me to restore from the latest backup which was the wrong one. I have located the file in my PC, but I just can’t seem to find it in iTunes! Help please!

You can use the iPhone Backup Extractor third party app to recover your apps data from your backup, then import it to your new iPad. It should be easy!

The apps did not come directly from the backup for me, but it did keep all of my folders in tact and it did create images of the apps that were all pending, downloading, or installing. It did take longer over the network, but all of my apps did eventually show up.

I keep them uniquely named for a variety of reasons. One is for network identification, another is for find my iPad, and there is also the need to distinguish the name of the backup file. If you do happen to name them all the same, I don’t think it will hurt anything.

Migrating apps and settings from an older iPad to the New iPad was easy using the steps above (either iCloud or tethered ti iTunes). One aspect of the process I have not seen addressed is the naming convention for the devices. Is there any best practices in terms of whether I should re-name the New iPad or the old iPad? When doing the ‘restore from backup’ the device name is copied to the new device. Thus – two iPads in the house with the same name. Suggestions?

I have about 400 hundred apps classified in folders and I did the iTunes backup and restore but they don’t transfer the apps. Is weird because in iPad 1 I remember i did it to iPad 2 and now it doesn’t do it to the new iPad
