How do i change my ipad software to my old one

I plugged in my ipad mini to my computer, and this little window pops up saying i have to choose and ipad, so i chose on that i thought was mine, (we have many ipads) and it restarted, now everything is gone and i have all the stuff the other ipad had. The pictures are different, no imessages appear anymore, i dont know what happened. Please help me, im stressing too much. How do i change it back?

The only way that you can change it back is by restoring from the backup of your own particular iPad. This will only work if your backup is still available. If you have several iPads, each iPad should have its own name.
Read this carefully and pay attention to the part about using iTunes.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
This is copied from the very last part of the kb article. When you do this, a window should pop up with a drop down option where you can selected from all of the different backups that you have in iTune. Make sure that you select the correct backup....once again ...assuming that the backup that you want is still available.
Restore from a backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up. Or if you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click—or Control-click—the device and choose "Restore from Backup."

    Hi Marg42,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
    My Apple ID
    https://appleid.apple.com
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
    Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
    This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

  • How do I change my iPad mini's SIM PIN when I cannot remember what the original PIN was?

    I went to enter a new PIN so I could lock my iPad's SIM card and was asked to enter a number. At some point, I must have entered a number already, because I got a message that I had entered the wrong one.  I can't seem to choose the "change PIN" option, probably because I can't recall the original one. How to I change the SIM PIN? What happens if I use up all my chances at entering the PIN and don't hit on the correct one?

    Thank you for the reply.
    I have one chance left to enter a number and then I will be locked out of
    4G service.  So, I have not tried 1111. What will that number do?

    There is no place I can find that provides with a PIN or PUK. I have tried

    Hi RyanQuilty,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first step on your new computer is to install the latest version of iTunes:

    Before connecting your iPad to the new computer, I would suggest backing it up to iCloud, and changing your sync settings to "manual" on the new computer:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content

    iCloud
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch inSettings > iCloud > Backup & Storage,
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document?

    I'm not sure if this is the right neighborhood to post this question, but here goes. How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document icon. I've been without MSWord for a long while, so all my word processing docs have been written in TextEdit, the stock mini-word processor that comes with OSX. Now I have MSWord and I no longer need TextEdit. Even more importantly, I'd like Word to automatically open when I click on a doc created in TextEdit. Adding ".doc" at the end doesn't do it. It's still refers to TextEdit to open the document.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    John

    Select a document of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

  • How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    If your wife's cell number was listed on the iPad, you must have set up the iPad using her iCloud account (Apple ID) instead of your own. iCloud automatically populates the phone number to other devices with the same iCloud account, but you should be able to deactivate it.
    That number that is assigned to your iPad is just an internal routing and billing number for your carrier. My carrier (AT&T) makes a clear statement in the legal documents that this number is not for phone calls or (SMS or MMS) messages, just for data delivery. For whatever reason, Apple does not allow it to be used in the iMessages system.

  • How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.

    How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.  Each device has a different name. But every time I plug them into iTunes on my Pc all the apps get screwed up. apps disappear etc.  I have "sync apps" selected without automatic updates. I'm thinking I should have this unselected, but that does make sense to me. Shouldn't I be able to have one iTunes account and manage each device independently.  What settings to do I need to apply to itunes so that every time i plug the devices in they don't get all messed up? thanks in advance
    Also, Iphone 4s is possible to rotate pictures without extra hassle of downloading software??

    You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
