Can I sync more than one iPad with one iTunes account?

I lost my iPad and bought another and when I sync it erased all my apps and movies from my iPad

iPad, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

I am confused by your statement. You said you lost your iPad and bought another. They you said when you synced it erased all you apps and movies from your iPad. If you lost your iPad all the info is gone too. Did the new Ipad have apps and movies on it that were obtained on a different syncing computer?

If you had a backup of your original iPad and bought a new one when you connected your new iPad to the computer used to sync the original iPad iTunes should have given you the option to restore to the new iPad the backup of the original iPad.

If an iPad is synced to one computer and you they sync it to another computer you will get a message that says if you continue the contents of the iPad will be erased and replaced with those of the new syncing computer.

The iPad is meant to be sync'd with one computer/one Apple ID at a time. Y ou can't sync it to multiple comptuers or multiple Apple ID's or you'll get the 'apps and content will be deleted' warning.


For example, I have a netbook and a laptop and a desktop handy, but I can only sync my iPad to one of them. If I try to sync it to either of the others, it will delete content.
