Okay so basically, back in April~May my old computer finally had a meltdown and crashed. It had been synced with my first gen iPad 3G/64GB, but there was apparently a bit of a problem when syncing: - The apps purchased on the Pad would not transfer over to the computer - Selecting songs in my iTunes library on the computer and telling it to sync did not work. If I recall correctly, it would try for a second and then stop and tell me the sync failed. To put music onto the Pad I had to drag and drop from the library manually. I was mostly okay with this because it didn't really affect the functionality of the iPad itself -- but now I am on a new computer with a fresh copy of iTunes. And, because iTunes has a history of erasing everything when it detects a device that has been synced to another computer, I am afraid of losing everything on my iPad. I also am in dire need of performing an iOS upgrade as I am still on version 3.2, and if I recall correctly, I think that also erases your stuff? Is there a way to keep it from erasing my entire iPad library without the use of a 3rd party program? I'm afraid even just plugging it in to see might wipe it x: .
try reloading yur computer and your ipad if it stilL wont work use the "restore" button, now i know what your thinking: "that will just erase your songs and apps" but if you purchased them once you can download them again for free
