How do I restore my new Ipad? I forgot the passcode.

How do I restore my new Ipad? I forgot the passcode. I tried to connect it to Itunes, but I had never synced it before. So it says it can not access the Ipad because it is locked by a passcode that I need to unlock it to access it? Uggghh!!

This link should provide the help you need. You are going to have to restore your iPad as a New Device since you never backed it up. You'll then have to download your apps again (you won't be charged as long as you use the same Apple ID you downloaded them from to begin with. You'll have to rebuild your contacts, everything. From now on, make sure you are regularly backing up your device.

HT5661 will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

I have an iPad Model MD371LL/A that i'm selling. I will buy a new one as sonn it releases the new model.
Will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

Yes.
The only 'catch' you may encounter. Let's say your old one is running iOS 7.1.1, and your new one is running iOS 7.0.6, you will first need to update your new one to be running 7.1.1, then y ou can restore it from the backup of your old one and make it a near clone of the old one.
Chances are you won't encounter this, but there have been instances where folks get a broken ipad replaced and try to restore the new one from the backup of the old one and since the replacement is running an older iOS than the replaced one it doesn't work. In that case you set up the replacement long enough to update the iOS then restore it.
But, likely what will happen for you is what happened for me when I bought a new iPod Touch. I did a full backup of my old one then wiped it. Brought the new one home and during hte set up process I had a choice 'set up as new or restore from the backup of the old one'. I chose restore and my new one was a near clone of the old one. I still needed to set up wifi and enter a few passwords to websites, but the data and contents crossed over.
If you are selling your old one you may want to read this about wiping your device to make it usable by the buyer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will return it to its new out of the box condition. Go through the setup screens again and you will be given the option to restore from a previous iTunes or iCloud backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109).

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

HT4436 aid it was 2/4. How do I restore my new iphone to the backup of 2/14?

I purchased a new iphone 5s and backed up my old iphone to the icloud 2/14. When I started the new phone it restored to a backup from 2/4--how do I restore my new iphone to the backup from the icloud today 2/14?

Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to confirm that the backup of your old phone is listed. If so, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

I am trying to restore a new iPad from iCloud but it is saying there 'are no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.0) on this ipad' my previous back ups had been iOS 6.1.2

Please help

I think that imobl hit the nail on the head.
The OP is trying to restore an iOS 6.1.2 backup on his new iPad that is only running 6.0. You can't restore from a newer iOS backup to an older iOS. The OP has to update the new iPad to iOS 6.1.2 and then it will work.

Erase all content then restore new iPad from iCloud backup?

I'm selling my iPad 3 today and want to get the new iPad 5 as soon as it releases. Before I sell my iPad 3 I'm going to backup the device and then erase all content and settings from the device. Will this also delete my iPad backup from my iCloud account? I plan on restoring my iPad 5 from my iPad 3 iCloud backup. Will this work? Thanks for any help!

How do you restore a 'new phone' from your previous phone iCloud?

I got a new iPhone 5 today after smashing the screen on my old one. I needed to use it straight away and wasn't connected to a wifi so i wasn't able to restore using iCloud, I set it up as a 'new phone'. How do I restore it now from my previous phone backup?
Thanks

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

I have a new iphone 5 and I am trying to restore my old iphone storage from my Iphone 4 I backed it up yesterday. I only will restore from itunes on a previous year old computer backup. Help please...

To restore from an iCloud backup you have to first erase the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

How do I restore my iTunes library from a backup?

Like an idiot I deleted my Itunes library after backing it up to an external HD. After doing this I deleted my original iTunes library and lo and behold I had no music. I thought I would be able to play them from the external HD but this wasn't the case. I did restart iTunes with the option key pressed and I was asked where I want to take my music from, but when I selected the copy I had made I got a window pop up
http://img.skitch.com/20091004-r8me3yehp85rmtrdj2qhff8udb.jpg
I since copied the folder back from my external HD (but not using Time Machine as I use another HD for that), but how can I restore all my playlists I had before, is this possible?

All your playlist info is in the iTunes Music Library.xml file. If you deleted that, you are out of luck. If you can find the iTunes Music Library.xml file in your backup, see if this document can help you: How to re-create your iTunes library, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451

HT4946 How can I restore just the contacts from a backup?

I had to restore my computer to factory settings as it would not download any new apps from iTunes. I now want to restore my contacts. I do not want to restore settings, etc. as these may have been the source of the problem.
I don't want to sync all my windows contacts, just the ones I had on the phone. I can't find a way of doing this Can you help?

You have to restore the entire backup. You can restore the backup, then back up your contacts using an app like My Contacts Backup. Then restore it as new again and use this backup to re-import the contacts to your phone.

Help getting data from iTunes onto my New iPad from iPhone backup

Hi for 2 days now I have been trying to sync my New iPad2 with my iPhone 3GS, I have followed lots of threads & advice which has been helpful but its not quite happening for me!
I set up iCloud and iTunes as advised, my iPhone & iPad share the same Apple ID. I backed up my iPhone to iTunes successfully, and restored the iPad via iTunes using the iPhone backup, it went thru the motions OK so I assume completed but I can't see any change.
Under "Purchases" in my iTunes account it has two tabs one for the iPhone and the other iPad listing all my Apps so clearly it recognises my Apps but the Apps only feature on my iPhone I can't get them onto my iPad. I even deleted some apps and reloaded them since the sync & backups but it still doesn't work. Strangely under my "Account" in iTunes it says only 1 Device is recognosed by iTunes and thats my New iPad, yet it still shows a Tab under Purchases for my iPhone so I don't understand why this is not listed as a recognised Device under the Accounts tab.
My contacts, calendars etc are in sync between the two devices wihtout any trouble at all.
I did think it was because some of the apps were downloaded before the sync / backup but some threads lead me to beleive you can sync the content no matter when it was purchased. Under the "Purchases" tab for my iPad I can view my "Apps" which has a "Download all" option so Ibeing at a loss what to do next I proceeded to Download All and it was clearly doing this for some time but still nothing on my iPad.
I was advised to turn iCloud off whilst I do the backup and restore on iTunes, and then turn it back on after. I have turned my iPad off/on after these updates but still the apps do not transfer across.
I feel like I am so close now but for some reason something is still not working! Please Help - thankyou.
(Just to add both devices are using the latest software update & iTunes working with Vista Windows on PC.)

Connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes sidebar, in Music tab,
select
     Sync Music,
     Selected Playlists, artists, albums....
     Select the music you want on iPhone.
     Click Sync button (bottom right)
Here's the iPhone user manual

Setting up a new iPad from a backup a real pain

With the technologies available one would think that when buying / upgrading to a new iPad it would be easy.
Don't fool yourseld it's a HUGE pain, what makes it worse is when the OS is different.
Why would there be a STOP option during a restore if it does nothing when you press it????
All I want to do is install the new OS then be able to select the beckup I want to restore, not what Apple thinks I want to restore.
Come on Apple you can do better than this. even MS offers this option.

In my opinion after upgrading the OS you should be presented with an option which backup you want to restore,
Then make the suggestion here.

Restoring a new mac from a backup can i only install some programs and files? Dont think there is enough memorie on the mac air

I might be buying a new macbook air to go traveling with.. i have a macbook pro already and want to restore from the backup onto the new macbook Air but am not sure if there is enough memorie on the air... Can i restore from the back up and only put on certain files and programs.. I only really want my photoshop and dont have the serial code anymore..

When using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant you can only choose all or none of the Applications. You have a little more flexibility about the files in your account(s).
What I did when I had to migrate from my MBP to the MBA was to use SuperDuper! to create a clone backup of my MBP. Then I deleted the programs and files (mostly music and video) I didn't intend to put on the MBA. Then when the MBA arrived I used Setup Assistant to migrate everything.
