How do I get my iPad data back?

I decided that I want to sell my iPad 1st generation, version 5.1.1 and buy a new iPad. How do I get my iPad data into the new iPad? Step by step please. Thank you.

Connect the old iPad to your computer.
Launch iTunes
Right click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and select - Transfer purchases - let that process complete.
Right click on the iPad again and select - Backup - let that complete.
Sync the iPad with iTunes.
Eject the iPad and quit iTunes.
Connect the new iPad
Launch iTunes
If you are not prompted to do so when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right click on the iPad name like you have done before - and select - Restore from Backup
Select the backup of the old iPad and let the process complete.
Sync the iPad with iTunes.
Eject the iPad.
On the old iPad...
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings and that will totally erase the iPad.
Sell the iPad.
Send the proceeds from the sale of the old iPad to me! I typed a lot of stuff here.

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.

Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

Before you did the resotore Via itunes you should of made a Back-up of your Data. But to be honest, i don't think that you would be able to get that stuff back.. Sorry mate

I used to have a web page in mobile me and now is closed. How can I get my webpage data back?

Your web pages on MobileMe have been deleted. If you were using iWeb you wouldn't have been able to open them anyway.
As long as you have the iWeb 'Domain' file in your user Library, or whatever the program you are using stores the information in, on your Mac you can publish to another hosting service - there are plenty to choose from. More information here:

I forgot the backup encryption password in iTunes how can I get my backup data back?

I forgot the backup encryption password in iTunes how can I get my backup data back?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

After upgrading my iPhone, I lost all my contacts..... and they were replaced with my wife's contacts even though she upgraded after I did. I did a time machine backup before I started the upgrade process, how do I get that saved data back to my phone?

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

How can I get all my data back after erasing my iPad from find my iPhone?

What happened is that I have 2 iPads . So I deleted the two from "find my iPhone" so one already got deleted but the other one is still awaiting to get delete. What I want to know is that the one that is not deleted yet is using the same ID as the other one... So I have the one that got deleted and I had to put my ID again and all those stuffs and I wanted to get all my photos back but I couldn'. So the other one has the same ID but already did the backup therefore it's supossed to get all its inforMarion back with the ID but the other one has that ID so how can I get my data back and the one that already got deleted?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to know how to restore one iPad from the backup of another iPad. Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the restore process which will prompt you to choose the backup that you would like to restore from.

How Do I Get My Game Data Back?

So, I have two sons and a daughter. One son is the oldest, (doesn't use the ipad often) Then the daughter is the middle (uses the ipad ALOT and knows everything about it ) and I have a child son, young. He plays games on the ipad. One day my daughter deleted some games, because the space was quite full. Today, my youngest son wanted to download Temple Run 2 again. When my daughter deleted it, she kept the data on the Game Centre. Now, we have downloaded it again, but we have not got our old data back? How do I? I know you can, because my daughter deleted The Sims Freeplay and downloaded it again and now she has her old data back. So does anyone know? Thank you if you can help!
By the way, this is an ipad mini, iOS 7 .

Restore the device from the most recent backup (prior to restoring as new) to put everything back the way it was.

How do I get my application data back after OS upgrade?

First I tried to update to iOS 5.1.1 by downloading the .ipsw file from Apple and shift-clicking the Update button. I got Unknown Error 3014, which apparently is a known error and is to do with contacting the Apple server. So I tried again, and this time the iPad got stuck in the "Connected to iTunes" screen, and I searched online and found that the only real way out of this is to do a Factory Restore to iOS 6. Oh well, I would have to put up with the new Maps app but that isn't too bad.
So I did that, then I selected to restore"Phil's iPad" onto it, but my machine ran out of disk space. I cleared up some space, and got it to restore again, but I think that what happened in between was that it automatically backed up and synced the new half-restored state to my PC. So when I came to restore it, it only restored half of it. Since I had iTunes set up to sync every time I connect, the system that keeps the most recent three backups had deleted all the backups that were of any use and all I ended up with are three backup states that are all missing my application data. All my game progress is now gone, all my photos and home videos, all contacts, notes, all gone and I think gone for ever.
Any idea whether it's possible to get all my stuff back?

All apps and media should be in iTunes on your computer, if you've failed to transfer purchases from the device to iTunes it is possible to download past purchases.
Downloading past purchases from iTunes
Contacts and calendars are in whatever application on the computer or cloud service you have configured them to sync with.
Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be copied off to the computer regularly.
Frankly, it is not very smart to rely on a device that can be so easily lost, stolen, or damaged as sole storage of your imporant data, I'd dare say it is boarding on completely moronic.

Got locked out of iPhone 4 my only option was to upgrade so I got iphone 5s but when I restore from backup that's recent from iCloud I don't get my game data and app data how do I get all my data back for games and apps?

I still have old phone is there a way to bypass 4 digit code my kid created it and locked me out but it's disabled says connect to iTunes but no access to computer just wifi. I have all my data still on it there's gotta be a way to over ride it or something far situations like this cause someone said iCloud don't save everything like app info just basic app info PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP OUT???
I'd like my phone to have all data it had when I backed up to iCloud bought extra space and everything and still didn't get all my data from other phone and I made sure everything was checked on to be backed up

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this?

There's no way to get your data back unless you made a backup somewhere from which you can restore.
