Miss Marple could have solved this easily and told you the butler was the culprit .  Glad you found the complex solution yourself and thanks for sharing the plot with the rest of us.

Hi

I did use migration, and the iPAD does appear on iTunes.

However I have sorted this problem now but thanks you trying to help

For the benefit of those who may also have a similar problem in the future, it was a bug (intentional or not ) with the password possibly a 'function' of AoL >:O   When I was asked to authorise the new computer it gave me an id to use to authorise it which was my main e-address which I never use for these passwords.  Consequently I changed it to the e-address I used for iTunes and gave my iTunes password (which seemed logical enough but not to Apple)

I have now tried again and used the e-address offered but as I have never used it it did not have a password associated with it so I lied "Forgotten Password" and went through the change password system to give it one.  Then I tried to sync again and again it suggested that the new Apple was not authorised so I used the offered e-address and the password I had just made up and all is well.

This is a bit strange I can understand why the program does not accept a wrong id/password and does not say it is not accepting them - a sort of safety device. However, why should it then carry on the pretence by suggesting the computer has been authorised (even up grading the number of computer listed as authorised) and then sneakily not actually authorising it?

Anyway, the panic is all over now and i can have a happy Xmas with synced devices 8-)

Did you use Migration to move your iTunes library to the new machine, or have you been trying to use the iPad to get it there?

Have you used iTunes to play any music or videos, purchased from the Store, on your new computer? If not, do so, then try syncing your iPad.

Hi All,

Help!

I am having problems syncing my iPAD after getting a new Apple Computer (Oh the woes of Xmas :-\)

I can sync without problems on the old computer, but get into difficulties with the new one.

I bought some new apps (Oh the joys of Xmas :-)) but ran into trouble when I tried to sync the iPAD and the new Apple. iTunes complained that the new computer was not authorised to receive apps from the iPAD - so I authorised it OK.  Authorising it again confirms that it is authorised.

However, syncing again  brings up the same error message and a threat to delete some apps from the iPAD unless I authorise the computer.  If I try that it just goes round the course again and produced the same error message.

In fact it does not delete any apps from the iPAD, but it does not upload the new apps either.  It hangs with this problem at step 3 of 5 demanding authorisation

The work around is to fire up the iPAD and reload the new apps.  The paid for apps are recognised and reloaded free of charge.  However, I would like to be able to sync with the new computer.

Any ideas any one (and a happy Xmas)

T@m
