How do I restore my ios

Hi Everyone,
I have a mini ipad without cellular, The wifi icon has refused to come on for some time now. I needed to restore the software so attempted to do that but since i needed to turn off "find my ipad" but it requires internet which is not possible without cellular. What are the available options
Thanks
Kokorioko

You do not need to turn Off, Find My iPhone since you know your own Apple ID and password.
The only thing that happens is that when you restore with iTunes on a computer, you will be asked for your Apple Id and password when setting it up again. But since you know those, you can enter them when asked and procee normally.

How do I restore an iOS 7 backup to my iPad?

I installed iOS 8 on my iPad 3 the day after it was released. After using it for a couple of weeks, I'm unhappy with it to the point of wanting to switch back to iOS 7.
The manual restore option only seems to allow me to restore from the most recent backup. How do I restore from the backup I performed manually right before I installed iOS 8?

Restoring from a backup restores your data. It does not change the version of iOS that is running on your iPad. Apple does not support downgrading the iOS so once you update you cannot go back to an earlier version. Doesn't matter what you do your ipad will run iOS 8.
Iif you are having problems with iOS 8 I suggest that you start a new question that has a title that provides the problem. Then in the body of the question describe the problem, provide all details about what you might have tried to correct the problem, what happened when you made the attempts and what, if any, error messages you received.

Loaded iOS5 and hate it. How can I restore previous iOS?

I don't like iOS5 at all. Any idea how I can restore my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.3?

You cannot.

How do i restore an ios 6 backup on ios 8 device

My good old iphone 4S running ios6 have stopped working. I have served my for long and worked flawlessly but now its gone.
Lucky for me, I did an itunes backup yesterday. At the same time I tried to upgrade to IOS 7.1, but itunes didn't let me go to ios 7.1 - only ios 8 was available.
As iphone 4s by many is judged "slower" or unstable, I did not want to do this upgrade. Anyway - this morning it stopped working.
So what I want to do, is buy a new iphone 6 and restore my backup from iphone 4s (ios6) on the new phone.
Any experience with this procedure or am I loosing all my data since I don't have a backup done with ios7
Cheers

How do I restore the IOS 6 version of GarageBand on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen?

Does anyone else have this problem?
I was trying to clear some memory space on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen 8GB. I uninstalled GarageBand to get rid of the pesky Document & Data files. Then I was going to reinstall it. But when I did, the Itunes App Store downloaded the current IOS7 version. My device was not updated to IOS7, and the lastest app will not install on it.
Is there a way to get the IOS6 version of GarageBand to upload to my Ipod Touch 4th Gen at this point? I feel kind of robbed. I bought the app with the view that it would be good for the life of the device, not be invalidated when the next big IOS upgrade came around. I have had this problem with a few other apps, but this app I use a lot.
Thanks for any help.

no I don't because my computer has been reinstalled fully since any of the old backups were done and even so, apps are stored in the itunes folders and not the backup files of the device. I have tried to contact apple/itunes and they don't want to know because I won't upgrade to a newer ipod touch that supports ios 7. I like my ipod touch 4th gen even though the wifi is damaged beyond repair. This is the way things are and big companies like apple expect people to upgrade to keep up with the latest version but the reality is that people don't because of the cost of the new devices.
I'll just have to deal with the fact that I cannot use it to read while on the bus/train any more. Ipod touch 4g is now just a music player/basic camera.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do I restore info from iCloud onto my new device?

You would have to update your device first, before you can restore your iPad from your backup. Resolution: set it up as anew device, then update your device to the latest version "Settings > General > Updates", then reset your device again "Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings" and then after the iPad restarts again, choose to restore your device from your backup.

HT4859 I have just restored and updated my ipad 2 with the new iOS 6 software resulting in me losing all apps and items i had saved wen i had the version 5 software. How do i restore my files from icloud if its possible

How do i restore my files back onto my ipad 2 from icloud. I lost all things while updating to iOS 6 software. I can see that all the items are there on my icloud but i cant see the restoring option

Hi Taunda
When you went through the iOS 6 set up - did you see the option to restore?
When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.
Note: You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device. You may also be prompted to enter the password for for any iTunes, iBookstore and App Store accounts for which iCloud Backup is attempting to restore content.
A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.

When i try to restore my Back up using Itunes this is the message i get - "Unable to restore backup as the software is old - Please setup as a new device and then try to restore your backup" - Please advise. If i do so are there any chances of loosing my data. At this point in time i would be happy if i could just retreive my contacts list. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

Am I able to set up as a new iPhone and then update the new phone to IOS 8.1.3 and then restore from my old iPhone 5 back up at that stage?

Setup your new phone, then update to iOS 8.1.3. Once done: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings". At the setup screen you'll now be able to select your old phone's backup.

I purchased three autobooks from itunes last weekend and after updating my ios to 7 they no longer appear. I looked at my purchse history and they are not showing in my purchase history. I do have the receipts for the charge. How do I restore these?

"I did make a full back up of my phone prior to updating the iOS"
Itunes content is not incliuded in the backup that itunes performs.
Audiobooks are not part of icloud and cannot be redownloaded.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.

Well, I for one really hate when they change this stuff. They get us used to doing it one way for years and then they change it. Why? Really, seriously, truly......WHY?
In fact, I originally noticed it had changed and then when I'd hit it, I thought it required me to touch both so I ended up with an apostrophe but then also a letter "l". I just left commas everywhere I went for a while cuz it ticked me off so bad I just rebelled.
In ios5 it was actually faster because it's the same move and time involved, but without the extra "slide". So, in essence, Apple went backwards.
Nice, eh?
