I'm trying to sync my IPad to new PC

Hi, I'm trying to sync my IPad 2 to my new PC. I have downloaded ITunes, but when I try to sync Music & Photos, I get a message saying that as the IPad has been synced to another PC, I will lose all music on my IPad if I continue. Can anyone advise what I should do?

iPad 2, iOS 8.1.3

Have you copied your iTunes library over from your old computer, or backup of your library, into your new computer's iTunes library ? If not then you can use an external drive to copy your library over : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support

Or if both computers are connected to the same wifi network and home sharing is enabled on iTunes on both, then you should be able to use that to copy your library over

Or add your library from your backup of your library via File > Add To Library


For the syncing to the new computer, see if this user-tip helps : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

It was written specifically for iPhones but it applies to iPads as well. Some of the steps on that page are slightly different now (it was written for a previous version of iTunes) :

- 5, File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

- 6, Reset Warnings is done via the bottom of the device's Summary tab in iTunes

- 7, File > Devices > Back Up (or Back Up Now on the device's Summary tab)

- 8, File > Devices > Restore From Backup (or Restore Backup on the device's Summary tab)
