New Ipad User seeks some help

[faxman55]

I just purchased a used Ipad and the previous owner has over 7000 songs and some apps on it already. When I connect it to my current iTunes (had iphone 3gs before) it wants to delete the previous songs and apps and sync with my current songs/apps.

Is it possible to have it that I can keep all the songs/apps on the Ipad and add the songs/apps that I have in my itunes.

Is there also a program that will allow me to backup all the songs I have on my iphone to my itunes? My previous compuet that I had all my songs on crashed and I am now suing a different computer but not able to save my songs from my iphone.

Would appreciate some hlpe so that I do not accidently delete anything.

Thanks,

Those tunes and apps were purchased on the previous owner's iTunes account and you have no entitlement to them. You should delete them and download the music that you want using your own iTunes account.

Who would sell you an iPad without wiping it clean first?

For copying music from your iPhone back onto your PC, you could try I-funbox
http://www.i-funbox.com/

Floola and SharePod are also free alternatives, but I don't think they work with iOS 4, yet.

If your iPhone is jail broken, there are other means of copying the music. You could look for the 'Senuti (Mac)', or 'Windows—Jailbreak + SSH (Update: and Winamp!)' headings in the following article:
