Having problems restoring backup to the ipad

Hello !!!
I have just updated iOS 7 on my ipad, I have done the backup but am now trying to set up the iPad again .... I select Restore from iTunes Backup and the IPad stays frozen in the black background saying Connect to iTunes but nothing happens !!!

I just manually copied everything across in the end, so no worries.
Apple very graciously just replaced an early 08 MBP with a new unibody one, so I can live with doing it manually.
Fantastic. And worth the extra time
Enjoy.

How did you backup?
iCloud? iTunes?

I'm having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email. Has anyone else experienced this...if so I hope there is a fix

Hello there erika274,
It sounds like no matter what contact you put into the 'To' field, a different name appears, but the email makes it to the intended recipient. I would recommend a few things here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
Please Help!
Ipad 2- iOS5

You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.

Can I backup my ipad3 in recovery mode before restoring it? the iPad is disabled

Hi,
My toddler unsuccessfully tried many times to unlock our iPad3. We now have the message "iPad is disabled...connect to iTunes". From what I've read so far regarding accessing/unlocking the iPad, I will have to put the iPad into recovery mode and then restore it. This procedure will erase everything on the iPad. Is there a way to create a backup of the iPad while in recovery mode to save our data before restoring the device? We haven't synced the iPad in a long time, so there are many important photos and videos that we don't want to lose.
Please help.
Thanks!
Mike

Really? uh oh. Is there any method or software that can remove the content of my iPad before doing the restore?
I really don't want to lose the photos and videos on the iPad.
Thanks

Is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

Here's the problems I'm having with iPad 2 and iOS 5.1:
Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
But weird things happened after syncing.
(1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
(2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
Anyone know what's going on here?
I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
Unsure what's going on ...

Having problems with mail on my iPad 3rd gen

Hi.
I seem to be having problems with mail on my iPad. Every few days I go to open mail and go open an email and I go to try and delete it or send a reply or compose a new mail and thus I tap the icon but mail will not do anything.
I can open emails but not send or delete them.
Sometimes it works when I just close mail and reopen it but sometimes I have to restart my iPad multiple times. Doesn't matter which email account.
Any help would be appreciated

Restoring Backup to new IPAD did not transfer content of Clash of Clans App

My son's ipad had a screen issue so upon contacting Apple support they kindly booked me into the local store for a consultation, fortunately the device was under warranty, whilst on the phone I asked specifically about backing up content for 2 specific games that my son has spent alot of time on, Clash of Clans and Minecraft. The advisor took me through the process of backing up the device to the itunes store. I repeated the same process on the morning of the appointment and then went into store as expected the device had to be replaced. We restored the backup to the IPAD whilst in store, unfortunately the Clash of Clans content does not seem to have restored, but the minecraft one has. I asked the Apple engineer why this was and he just said it must have something to do with the App. Is their any way I can restore the game to where he was?, frustratingly in the game under the clan you can see his base? Help I have a very distraught son.

The backup will only work for the same device, not for a new (and better) device.
Contacts are at http://contacts.live.com where you sign in with your Microsoft account. Once you set up the same Microsoft account as you used on your 800 contacts and calendar will sync right back and you will also get access to documents stored on SkyDrive for that account. If you had any other AES compatible account set up previously and had contacts synced there they should also come tight back to the 925 once you set up the account.
Text messages will be lost however, WP7.x has no backup facilities like WP8.x has.

Problem with Pages on the iPad 2.

Hi all,
I have been having a strange problem with Pages on the iPad that I hope someone can find a solution for.
As a writer, I find that Pages on the iPad is a very good solution to my problem of needing something small and light to transport around, whilst still allowing me to do some serious writing. I use the Apple 3 battery bluetooth keyboard, and this gives me a superb working solution.
I started using the iPad 2 to do my second book and for the first 40,000 words everything was fine. But as I started going back and forth with the cursor keys, editing passages in the book, I noticed that the cursor position did not match up with the I beam cursor on screen. As it transitioned between pages it would loose it's corresponding position and the entry point for new text could be up to six characters in either direction.
Now this is not a problem if you enter a new page, as there is nothing beyond it, but in the majority of cases it is a major problem when going back over your work and editing it. I have to manually reset the start position of every new page so as to garantee the typing will go where I want it to.
Now I thought at first this was something to do with Bluetooth keyboard, but after using the onscreen keyboard and the find and replace function, I have noticed that it loses it's position in the document in a similar way. I have included a screen shot of it finding a problem I was searching for. In this case it is ", and" to be replaced with "and," or "and". Clearly in the image you can see that it is not happy and is not selecting the right things, if I replace it will replace exactly what is selected.
Has anyone else seen this problem. It seems to happen with large or small documents and I think that this is a fundamental problem with Pages on the iPad. Seeing as I can't get Apple to acknowledge this I brought it here for everyone else to check out. If we get enough voices on this, then we can make change happen.

That's right Br Abdullah, I'm finding the same problem with my itune Arabic library that I synced to iBooks version 1.5! As you say the pages are not arranged correctly.
The other problem that I'm finding is that the highlights & notes that i have made on the books on a previous version of ibooks, when synced with ibooks version 1.5, they are scattered everywhere, and sometimes in areas where there are no texts.
I left a message on the report a bug section of iBooks on the app store, and I contacted them on their feedback of apple product issues. I don't know what else we can do. It seems that no one is listening to us. I'm Dissapointed that I upgraded my iBooks version to 1.5; I was really looking forward to reading on my new iPhone 4S (on iBooks)!
What else can we do to get our concerns heared? Somebody? Anybody?

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

My Ipad has a black background now and everything is color faded after the latest software update? I restored and reset the Ipad. How can this be fixed?

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
