I backed upped my iPad and restored it to iOS 5. When it was successfully installed and restored, my iPad did not have any of my previous apps. So i tried restoring it to iOS 4.3.5 and it is now stuck in recovery mode with iTunes repeating "preparing iPad for restore".
View 2 RepliesI recently was trying to resolve an issue whereby my ipad had over 5 gigs of 'other' type memory being consumed. I went to do a restore, and it was taking forever, and somehow I tried to revive it, but my ipad restored to factory results, I went to resync, and it backed up my now factory default ipad.I was able to sync all my apps and books, etc. But my content was gone (as in the content created within these apps).
Is there anyway to go to a previous backup file, or undelete one and make it active so I can resync to it?
BTW, my 'other memory is now under 100MB, so I solved that one.Did I mention that I am running itunes on windows (it was a gift), my wife uses the mac in the house, and now I am only using my iPad for all of my needs.
I was wondering if I could restore my brand new iPad to a previous backup I have of my iPhone 4. All of the apps are the same, so it should work right?I also want to know if it would be possible for me to do what I said above without having to update my software, cuz my Internet is SLOW and the 500 MB download would take forever!!

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to restore to a previous back up. Not the LAST back up you completed but one prior to that?
View 1 RepliesMy company has 10 iPad 2s running iOS 5. We use a POP3 email server. We had trouble with the native email program on the iPads because it wouldn't fetch from the server, and our server wouldn't push. The Apple geniuses weren't able to help us fix it despite many hours in the store and on the phone. We finally found an email app, IbisMail, that addressed exactly that issue, and we installed it on all the iPads. It worked great.
A week or so ago, there was an update to IbisMail in the App Store. The description said that Apple had taken away their fetch/push capabilities. I told everyone NOT to update to this new version. Most of the iPads have restrictions set so that the users can't do anything with the apps anyway.
We still have the old version running on all the other iPads. Is there a way to copy it from one of those, to hers? Each iPad has its own Apple ID so they sync independently. I don't want to mess up any of the other iPads trying to do this.
I'm not sure how recently she backed up to the iCloud, so if she hasn't done it in a while it's possible that the old version of the app is still there. I've never restored from a backup. Is it possible to restore selectively, so that I could just restore this one app?
As a related issue, she also has an iPhone that is running IbisMail for the same reason, and she updated that one as well. We don't have any other iPhones. I think the IbisMail app is the same app for both devices, but I don't know if it's possible to sync apps from an iPad to an iPhone.
How do you restore your ipad to a previous days settings? My ipad was hooked up to the wrong computer and itunes account.
View 2 RepliesI got a new iPad2 today as a warranty replacement for one with screen issues. The store tech backed everything up to iCloud when the switch was made about 9:30. When I got home and went to restore the new iPad with my old data, it said the most recent backup was at 11:00. Restoring with this backup basically restored to factor settings. My question is is it possible to restore an iPad from iCloud with an old backup? Can I tell it specifically to restore with the 9:30 backup or is that one completely gone and I am out of luck?

I want to restore from my previous backup, but as soon as I connect, it automatically performs a fresh backup. How do I turn this off? This overwrites the last backup I actually wanted...

View 5 RepliesI have just upgraded to IOS 5 and have restored all of my purchased apps from the app store. However when I go onto iTunes it does not show any purchases. Can I restore previously bought purchases from iTunes to my iPad 2?
View 4 RepliesI have been writing an end-of-project report on my iPad for the last month and I have synced my iPad each day. Today, the iPod app wasn't working so after backing/syncing the iPad in iTunes I then did a factory restore. After the restore I selected to use the iPad backup. Afterwards I could see my file listed under Apps/Pages with the correct time but when I saved it to my iMac and opened it in Pages on the Mac. I was destroyed when saw it was a version from nearly a month ago; i.e. I have lost almost all my work.
Here is the obvious question: is there any way I can get to the backup of the document prior to restore, even it was yesterday's version? I have tried using Time Machine without success. Please, I really need some help here.

I have been syncing my iPad to my home PC for many months. I have loaded about 30 apps onto the device, with content, books and documents that I use often.Over the weekend, in order to charge it, I plugged it into my work laptop without thinking.
When I got back to my iPad many of the apps and their data had been deleted.I tried to Restore from a backup, but this only returned it to the state after the applications had been deleted.
It now appears that all my apps had been removed with their datasets. So I have lost all of the documents in GoodReader, Books, and the Office Applications. Even though I ask for it to be backed up at each sync.Once I got back to my home PC, I also tried to restore from a previous backup, but again that did not restore from a backup either.
The removed applications did get returned. But as mentioned, Pages, Keynote, Numbers have lost all of my documents, all of my games have been returned to their original state, and my business applications like iPass have been restored to factory settings.How do I restore my iPad to a backup where all of these things will be fixed?

I may be selling my iPad soon and it is currently Jailbroken on 3.2. I want to keep it on 3.2 so that it can still be Jailbroken but I want to make sure it is totally blanked in terms of my apps, videos, or any personal info such as contacts and web history/passwords.
How would I do this?Or is there even a way to restore to 3.2 or 3.2.1 instead of 3.2.2 (jailbreak fixed)?
I will probably need to do a restore to factory through Itunes right?The question is what will happen to my JAILBROKEN Ipad once I will restore it? Will it be Un-Jailbroken? will it still be Jailbroken?

View 6 RepliesHow do I restore My factory settings
Info:iPad
I have a strip down the right side of the iPad (held vertically) that doesn't respond to touch. I did a factory restore hoping to solve the issue and now it won't connect to wifi, the option is grayed out along with bluetooth. Also, that strip is still unresponsive to touch, so vertically I can't use the o key at all. So why would my wifi work before but not after a restore?
