Does upgrading erase video content on iPad?

I recently upgraded iPad iOS and seemed to have lost all my previously downloaded videos. Any ideas for where they are?

They should be in your iTunes, if you made a backup of your iPad before upgrading it then they'll be there.
Upgrading iOS involves erasing everything on your iDevice so making a backup beforehand is recommended.

You can only update to the latest iOS which currently is iOS 5.1.1.
Connect your iPad to your computer and follow the prompts. If iTunes is not the latest version then you will be prompted to update that first. The same will then apply to your iPad. It will automatically do a backup unless you tell it otherwise and y will be prompted to restore from that backp in the latter part of the process.

HT3209 I got a new apple tv 3 how do upgrade my video content to 1080p

I got a new apple tv 3 how do upgrade my video content to 1080p for the orginal purchased version at 720p?
Cheers,
Michael

Yopu can stream it on the AppleTV from the internet under Movies > Purchased (or Purchases? I can never remember which!) which will bypass what's in iTunes provided AppleTV is configured in Settings for iTunes store for 1080p.
If you want a copy in iTunes, then go to Preferences and change download preference to 1080p. Then delete the 720p copy and redownload from the cloud (iTunes home page icon > Purchased link on the right). If you delete the 720p copy and it goes to trash or recycle bin, you can fish it out of there and add to iTunes later if you need a 720p version too (or SD if that gets trashed with the 720p copy).
Note - currently you cannot upgrade SD purchases to HD. Even for an upgarde fee.

Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages

Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages. In other words, after upgrading will I be able to open older Pages documents on the iPad?

I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
I then deleted Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
Hope this works for you.
Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.

Recent video content on iPad/iPhone is reloading during sync.

Recently purchased video content is reloading to my devices even though the same content is already on the device.
Can successfully remove the video, and that stops the reload during subsequent syncs. If the content is put back, the reloading starts again in subsequent syncs.
Not the worst problem, but a big time and data consumer, and very annoying.
I have tried the following without success of stopping this behavior;
1.) Deleted the video in question from my library and downloaded it again from Apple.
2.) Downloaded/Reinstalled iTunes from Apple on my laptop.
3.) Device soft reset.
4.) Device factory reset and restored.
My current system is; OSX 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2.2 running on MacBook Pro, while OS Version 7.1.1 resides on my iPhone 5S and iPad2.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Update to the above concern... not only does my video reload over and over on each subsequent sync after it is already on the device, I am now also seeing 2 apps just purchased do the same.
I figure this must be an iTunes or an Account issue as it is doing the same thing across devices.
Local Apple store had no idea what to suggest to correct this error tonight.

Video content on iPad

When I connect my iPad Air to my PC in iTunes it shows that I have over 4Gb of video on it. I have a film which was d/l, less than 2Gb and any other video I recorded was removed prior to the connection. Am I right in assuming that quite a lot of video is permanently resident in the iPad. The film I d/l I would like to remove to free up space, however, any way I look at it, the option to remove is not apparent, how is this done guys?

The how to remove the film I have now worked out, sorry guys. But still curious about quantity of video showing.

WHEN WILL UK ITUNES UPGRADE THEIR VIDEO CONTENT?

The U.S. has a fantastic library of music videos, television programes which is vastly superior to that of the U.K.!!
Come on Apple! I got the money, and surely you would rather people legally download videos from your store than source the material otherwise!
The U.K. video selection is very bad.
Just an example, I bought the ipod video on the strength of a demonstration at the Apple Expo in London, UK by which I was shown videos of "Kanye West - Gold Digger" and "James Blunt - Beautiful"!! And "Lost" - Where are these videos????!!!!
Sort it out Apple!

This question gets asked a LOT over on the music store discussions
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=797&start=0
I can't believe Apple did a demo in London with USA-only content! That's just false marketing, IMO.
Anyway....none of us other users knows anything about when content is updated. I did see a few Kayne West videos in the UK store, but not Gold Digger.

HT201274 My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet. If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" will iTune force an upgrade to 8? I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.

My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet. If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" on the device will the device be forced to upgrade to 8 ? I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.

To Perform the Erase All Content and Settings directly on the iPad it does not need to be connected to a computer.
In fact yes, is better if its not connected to one, but simply connected to its charger, and have it plugged in. Erase All content and settings, will not update the iOS.
If you restore the iPad using iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected, then it will update to iOS 8. Because the restore will place the newest available iOS version supported by the Phone on it.
Basically disconnect the iPhone, plug it in to its charger, and the charger to the wall, and then on the iPad go to Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings. This will wipe clean the iPhone but will do nothing to the underlying iOS installation.
Once everything is removed, you can plug it into iTunes and sync your content back. Do not attempt to restore from backup while connected to iTunes, as it will update the iOS version in the process. Simply sync and you should have no issues.

HT1414 i have tried to erase all content and reset my ipad due to selling it and upgrading to a newer model, when i switch it on it just shows the itunes logo? is this right?

hi i am selling my ipad and have erased all content and reset it and now when i switch it on it just shows itunes logo is this correct?

start iTunes,
plug in your USB cable
switch off your iPhone
press holding home button(the round button in front of the Phone)
plug it on to the USB cable
keep holding the button
till iTunes says it found a iPhone in recovery mode
then click restore as a NEW iPhone
then sync!?

I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. I had create new apple id, change my password, delete the icloud acc. But still I can not update my apps. I have many of red notifications on iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working?

I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
Proceeding ...
After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
Help ...

Thanks!

Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Does anyone else have pixelating poor video streaming on iPad 2?

Hi I was wondering if anyone else has poor pixelating video streaming on iPad 2? Anytime I try to watch a video with much movement like any type of sports, like baseball and basketball the quality is poor with a lot of pixelating and blurry video. This is on the web browsing or in any of the Internet apps. Does this happen to anyone else? Just got it yesterday and have heard some people say that the quality of the MLB videos is near hd like watching tv. I appreciate anyone's help on this. Please let me know. Thanks.

Yes, I would still say it's a slow down due to either a moderate to high volume of internet traffic on the Time/Warner servers (depending of course on the time of day or day of the week) plus, maybe since this is a sports (baseball) website, it could be a slow down because of amount of internet trafiic to that site and, possibly, more people viewingthe same streaming content as you.
Also, if you have other people sharing the WiFi signal in your house and using the internet (via Wifi) this could, also, be another factor in your data connection speeds and slowdowns.
That's usually the cause for either different levels of streaming pixelization or data buffering issues.
No doubt about it!
Hopefully your streaming experience will be better in the near future.
If you use other video streaming services, (like Netflix, Hulu/Hulu Plus, Amazon, Crackle, etc.) try viewing streaming content from those sites to see if your video streaming quality improves
Good Luck and Have fun with your iPad!

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas?

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas on how to get past this so that I can at least run a restore?

I Don't know that recovery mode would work, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
IF that fails, have you considered erasing the device using Find my iPhone in iCloud.com? I'm not sure what good that would do either of the iPad continues to freeze, but if nothing else is working .....

I want to add my existing iPad Air 2 to a new iMac Retina 5K. Can I do this without erasing the contents of my iPad?

I just bought an iMac with Retina 5K display. I have an existing iPad Air 2. Can I connect the iPad to the iMac without erasing the contents of the iPad? If so how? Thanks for your help.

Hi. Actually you can connect your iPad to the iTunes without erasing the contents which purchased from iTunes Store. I suggest to import your photos taken by iPad to iMac the first time: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support.
Also you can click to stop syncing to avoid losing some contents.

Anson
