How can I check my iPad backup has backed up my photographs

Hi
I've had to buy a new laptop and now want to sync my iPad with it.  I've followed some previous instructions on backing up with iTunes.  The next step is to sync it which will wipe the iPad and to restore from backup.  I'm very nervous about doing this - how do I know that the backup backed up my photographs - it didn't seem to take that long.  Foolishly I don't have the photographs stored anywhere else and I don't want to lose them.
thanks

Apart from restoring the backup onto a device there is no other way of confirming what is in it - but it should contain photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc. The backup won't contain photos that weren't originally synced from a computer.
If the photos are still on the iPad then you can copy them off : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
You can also copy off photos that were originally synced from a computer, but you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How Can I Check Time Machine backup has worked?

    Hello all
    I am new to Mac and still feeling my way so please be gentle! I am not even sure if this is the right community to be in. My system runs 10.7.2 (is that lion, leaopard or penguin?)
    Today I used Time Machine for the first time. Successfully formatted my external harddrive and did the first backup. Then uploaded all my photos from my camera using iphoto and did another backup.
    I want to check that the back up was successfull and that my photos are on the external hard drive before I do a second backup on a different hardrive and then delete the pics from my camera. I am not sure how to check this. When I open the external harddrive I can't really understand where the iphoto files would be...
    your advice and patience with a rookie would be much appreciated
    Cheers

  • HT5313 How can I check if my iMac has this update? OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update

    How can I check if my iMac has this update? OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update

    It's not technically challenging, but it isn't clearly necessary. In any case here's how:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can i check if at&t has unlocked my phone

    How can i check if at&t has unlocked my phone?

    You should get an email from them to let you know the unlock request has successfully been processed. From there, you restore the phone as new and should get a message on its screen that says it's been unlocked.
    If you haven't gotten the email, contact AT&T for an update.

    Log in to what? You don't log in to the Mini so I'm assuming you mean some service. Please explain which one.

  • How can I check if an user has access to an url within my web app?

    Hi,
    I have a web application where I allow the users to set their startup page by presenting them a list of startup pages. However, some startup pages can accessed only by certain users, so I want to present the user only those pages the user has access to.
    How can I do this with weblogic?
    One way is to read the web.xml file and determine the roles that have access to the page, then check whether the user has any of those roles.
    Is there a better way eventually using some weblogic api?
    Thanks

    Just for the record, I decided to parse the web.xml file and to simulate whatever the container does.

  • How can i check the unzip file has finished unzip process?

    i am using 7zip to unzip the file. java program can check the unzip file has finished unzip process?
    Edited by: rayray2008 on Feb 12, 2008 7:14 PM

    Downloading and burning Linux or Windows ISO images for example with a single flipped bit can cause system instability nearly impossible to track down, and not otherwise detectable. An MD5 checksum (OR SHA) check will quickly detect any such transmission errors. Not something anyone I know bothers to use unless it's important data. The temporary fix of changing the about:config setting, then expanding to full screen in downloads was working. But now, based on my interpretation of comments made on the authors Sourceforge page, Firefox has made updates that prevent the MD5 Reborned Hasher from working in Firefox at all. If that's true, I would really like to know the reason. With all this talk of NSA spying, I would think more people would be interested in making sure someone isn't tampering with their downloads. I have no idea. But I do believe the wonderful volunteers at Firefox need to figure out a way to make this valuable piece of security software whole again. Thank You.
    PS: For those needing to verify a file, you might want to try the "Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier" kb841290 . It's old, but does large file MD5 from a command prompt.

  • How can I check if a thread has stopped?

    I'm writing a program which is supposed to open a file, sort all the numbers from smallest to largest value, and then write the sorted list back into a new file. It is specified in the task that I have to use multiple threads, and because of that I have a question:
    I want my program to check if all the threads have stopped before the program starts writing to the output file. Doing it with an if-sentence and/or using a boolean would be perfect, I think. Is there any way I can do this?

    u can use Thread.isAlive() to know if the thread is still running.. else u can use Thread.join() that waits until the Thread excutes till completion..when you would know that the thread is completed

  • I think my email was hacked from my iPad how can I check it for viruses

    I think my e mail was hacked from my iPad. How can I check the iPad for viruses?

    Well there are apps for that, but iPads and others are not suseptable to viruses, if they are its very very very small number. So I would suspect that you are fine, but check the app store for an app that would scan for viruses, i use Virusbarrier to scan downloads i get in emails, or links.

  • How can i know the ipad is locked

    i need to know how can i check the ipad is locked to at&t or not? before buy it?

    In the US you will find iPads with an AT&T SIM card because in the US that's the only network supporiting the 3G GSM iPad.  Nonetheless, THE IPAD 2 IS NOT LOCKED TO AT&T.  You can take out the SIM card and use another SIM from another carrier.

  • My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?

    My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?  Her iPad is taking up 3.4MB of my 5MB. I need my space back!

    I suppose ya.  If she deletes my account from her iPad it won't affect my account, right? 
    Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
    Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
    Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

  • How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone

    How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone. I know how to check purchases but I am looking for how to check when an app had been re-downloaded on my device whether it's through my device or Apple ID

    You mention "lack of control" several times.  The control is there - you control the Apple ID and password that owns the app.  No other Apple ID can use the app.  You have not shared your Apple ID or password with anyone, so you and only you own the app.
    Therefore, the number of times the app is downloaded or re-downloaded is completely irrelevant.  You might, for example, decide to purchase a new iPhone or iPad and download the app there.  Or the app developer may issue a new version which you download.  None of this matters regarding your "control" of the app.  All that matters is that you own it and nobody else can use it.

  • I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
    If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
    But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.
