Q: Synched a friend's Ipad with my computer - help!
I synched a friend's Mini-Ipad with MY Itunes in order to add some photo albums onto her Ipad mini. Before the sych I disabled all the other options - contacts, calendars, apps, etc....so that the only thing that would change would be that my pgotos from my Iphoto would be on her Ipad. Gave her back the Ipad.
Then - she went to synch it - and it is asking her for MY Apple password! Now I guess the Ipad mini thinks I am the owner!!???!!
How can I help her to have it recognize her own original computer and stop asling for my password. I realize she will lose all the photos I put on when she is able to synch her Ipad.....they will be overwritten. I will provide her with the photos on a flash stick so she can load them into her own IPhoto and then synch.
What does she have to do??
Thanks....Dorgal.

Do not erase all content and settings. At least don't do that to start.
Your friend should check in Settings>iTunes and App Store. See of your Apple ID is showing in there. If it is, sign out, and the. Have her sign in wither her own ID. She should be able to sync with her own computer again, but you are correct that all of the photos that you put on her iPad will be overwritten.
There are third party WiFi transfer apps that allow you to send photos from one device to another device or computer, or from a computer to an iOS device so you didn't have to sync her iPad with your Mac.
