Can I backup one iPad to another temporarily and then restore them both at a later time?

My older son is autistic and is non-verbal. He uses his iPad to communicate with people around him. I need to put his iPad into the shop to get the screen repaired. I have made backups of both, my iPad and his. Can I restore my iPad using his backup to make mine look like his, so he can borrow mine while his is in the shop, and then when his is repaired, restore mine to my backup? Both iPads are iPad 2, and both have the latest IOS. Both are also 64 GB.
Thank you for the help.

If you have a computer, yes you can do that. You can't back them up to each other though.
Using a computer (presuming you set it up with one, if you didn't then it gets trickier), back up yours. then go into the settings, reset, erase all content and settings, which puts it back to being straight out of the box. Hook his up, do a full back up. Unplug it. Plug yours back in and set yours up, and when you have the choice to set up as new or restore from backup, choose that and his data will clone onto yours.
Take his in, when you get it back, it should be wiped, restore it from the backup of his and you can then wipe yours and restore yours from the backup
But how are you getting it fixed? If it's going to an apple store and you're getting an out of warranty replacement, you won't need to do that because you'll take it in, pay the fee, walk out with the replacement and you can then restore that one from the backup, so you'd have no need to juggle the data.....unless you're mailing it in and it'll take a few days, etc.

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup on my same account. They're both listed on my list of backups, but it won't let me choose to backup to the one I want on my other iPad which I no longer have. But I specifically want the pictures

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup I have on my same iCloud account. The old one is totally gone. Both backups are listed on my iCloud account. So is there any way I can backup the one I have now to the other one. I really just want the pictures that are in the old backup. I have tried resetting and erasing all settings and data on the one I still have, but when I go to restore by iCloud; it only gives me the choice of restoring the same iPad. Then in iCloud>storage>backup, I'm still not able to choose which backup to backup to. I've even tried deleting the backup to the iPad I still have, then resetting all setting and data on the iPad, hoping that in resetting up the iPad it would give me the option to backup to my old iPad. But it doesn't. It still has memory of the backup of my newer iPad.
I JUST WANT THE PICTURES!!!
Thank you!!!

You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

Yes. However, the backup file does not necessarily contain everything on your device (music, some purchases, some photos) so you want to make sure all items are backed up and transferred for safekeeping first.

Ipad displays "ipad is disabled connect to itunes", I have tried putting the ipad into recovery mode and then restoring but that does not work. I have also tried doing a hard reset of the ipad and that does not work either. Any ideas?

My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Removing fx temporarily and then reinstating them again?

I have a sequence full of neat video and a few color corrections on the timeline and know I can use the "remove Fx" option which is great so I can go back and and tweak since it is a stutter fest on playback with neat and other things applied. So is there a way to remove the fx temporarily and then reinstate them after my adjustments? There are way too many neat videos applied to a half hour of footage so individually dissabling would be a long long day.
Thank you ahead.

Jim S, this is my list of feature requests for CS7, and where we discussed a track-based FX switch:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4392211#4392211
Ae has layer FX switches, and they're very useful.
And grandpooba2, you can see I also would like solo switches on audio tracks.
Solo video tracks would be nice, too, especially when color correcting layered tracks; the scopes reflect the composite, so the only way currently to know you're scoping the intended layer is to turn off all the other tracks.
And here's the link for feature requests. Please add your voice to the chorus:

If you mean email them as a group you need to get a group messaging app first. If you mean email the database you need to take a screen shot and email the photo.

How can I email my iPhone backup from one computer to another? And then how do I restore my iPhone to this backup once it's on the new computer?

I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook, but then I lost that iPhone. When I plugged in a different iPhone to his computer, it did ask me if I wanted to restore it as my old phone, so I must have backed up at least some of the data to his iTunes. I saw that you can locate the folder where my iPhone was backed up, so can he just email me the folder (he lives in a different country)? And then if I get this folder, how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook
Why would you do that, and not on your own computer? See the hassle it caused you?
can he just email me the folder
Backup files are too big to email. Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

Can I download the Creative Cloud programs on another computer and then instal them on my laptop?

Hi everyone,
I would prefer to download the CC Programs at work, save them to a USB then install them on my Laptop. Can this be done?
Thanks

MissJayne please see the following blog post regarding the Creative Cloud packager - http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2013/04/whats-the-creative-cloud-packager.html. This would allow you to create installation packages which could be run from your USB drive.

TS4006 We'll I've been wondering what If I lose the current iPad I have and the guy stoled it Can I find my iPad through another device and repot the criminal?

Well I just got my iPad mini a week a go and I don't want to lose the iPad and I added find iPhone and I really don't know a lot about it

You can't.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

You can download ML on all Macs that are linked to the same iTunes account.

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things

Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things?

Yes. Copy your apps and other iTunes purchases/downloads to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer), then backup up the first iPad and restore that backup onto the second iPad.
Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
Things that aren't included in a backup include the contents of the Music and Videos apps (but they should be on your computer's iTunes) and photos that were synced from a computer. Also you will need to enter your passwords (email, wifi, website) on the second iPad - they won't be restored onto a different device, only back onto the device that the backup came from.
