How to get files off a dead iPad 1

Mine is an iPad 1, and I got it a couple of years ago. The previous owner rarely used it, and it looked like new.
One night I put it on to charge, and it had 23% battery remaining. The next morning, it was completely unresponsive.
I have tried the hard reset method (holding power/home buttons at same time for 1 minute) as well as DFU recovery mode, and neither creates a response. The screen stays blank with no signs of power.
Plugging it into the computer with iTunes running does nothing. iTunes does not recognize the iPad. I have an iPhone also, and iTunes does recognize it, and the charger for the iPad works with the iPhone just fine. So this is just the iPad, not my cords.
I have pages and pages of notes on the iPad and did not use Cloud to back them up because our Wifi is so slow.
How can I get them back?

If it's truly dead then there is no way to get the data. If it's just a battery problem, then you may be able to just get a battery replaced and find your data are still there. But I would see if you can determine just what the problem is before going further. Your local Apple retailer should be able to help by providing a diagnosis.

    i just got my dads old sony viao and it does not have a built in wireless card so my dad gave me his old one it does not auto install so i can not get internet service and have no flash drive so i downloaded a download manager to my ipod and downloaded the driver but cant get the files to my computer any ideas
    ps do not own itunes

    Itunes is required for using an ipod.
    You cannot update, restore, sync,etc without it.
    Ipod touch is NOT  a storage device.  You will need wi-fi to use any apps that provide storage.

  • Getting files off a dead iphone 6

    My iphone 6 got wet and will not turn on. I understand I need a new phone and I am ok with that.
    The big problem is the gentleman at the apple store said my icloud backups were incomplete and therefore useless. The syncs I have done with my computer did not create a backup either. If this phone was a laptop or desktop, I would just pull the hard drive, connect a cable to it and copy it to another drive. What options do I have with my iphone?

    Since iCloud backup is incomplete and your local iTunes backup is not there, you don't have anymore options.

  • I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

    I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

    Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
    First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
    If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
    Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
    No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

  • How can I get iTunes off of my iPad so that I can authorize my laptop

    I can only use 5 devices for iTunes. How do I get iTunes off of my iPad to authorize my laptop

    Only computer's iTunes are authorised, you don't authorise your account on an iPad. If you've reached the 5 computer limit then you will need to de authorise one of your computers (individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them), or log into your account and 'deathorise all' and then re authorise the computers that you still have : Authorize your Mac or PC using iTunes

  • How to get mackeeper off my mac?

    How to get mackeeper off my mac?

    A
    "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    First, back up all data.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock or the Launchpad to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.
    B
    If you see popup ads for MacKeeper on websites where you haven't seen them before, see below.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • How to get data off old LC III drive

    I have our first LC III computer that I gave to our in-laws...now they want data off of it and I don't know how to get it off easily.  The HD is a SCSI interface I think...can I use a SCSI to usb cable?  This machine was pre-ethernet, so no communication interface other than the printer port and a port for and old style modem. 

    Hi,
    It is not so easy to gain direct access to data on an old SCSI hard drive via a modern computer.
    An alternative could be to use 1.44 MB floppy disks for transfers. Another semi-old (pre-1998) Mac with Ethernet could then read these floppies and forward the data files over a network. A newer Mac would require a USB floppy drive.
    A Windows PC, with a floppy drive and a utility such as TransMac for the handling of Mac disks, could also be used.
    Yet another solution could be a serial null-modem transfer. See the following discussion for details:

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

  • How to get back bookmarks missing in ipad 3

    How to get back disappeared bookmarks in ipad 3 air

    View ("Alt+V") > Toolbars > (check) Bookmarks
    also make sure you are not in full screen mode, toggled on/off with "F11".
    If none of those were the problem check to see if you have bookmarks than can be restored from the bookmarks library ("Ctrl+Shift+B") > Import and Backup > Restore > (you should have a choice of at least 5 backups). Not having that choice of five would probably mean that you created a new profile when you updated your Firefox.

  • Getting Files off of ATV

    Hi All,
    Is there a way to get files off of ATV that have been synced from iPhoto? Here's my problem. I have a LaCie drive that I use to save all of my media files on and that drive syncs my photo's to my ATV. I can no longer mount my LaCie drive; which is another issue, but I want to be able to take my photos from my ATV and back them up on another drive so I don't loss them if my LaCie drive is fried. I can view the photos on my ATV, so the files themselves are there, but I can't figure out how to access the ATV as a volume drive and copy the files somewhere else.
    Can someone help me out?
    Thanks in advance.
    John

    You can't officially do it.
    AppleTV is not additional storage or a backup solution.
    It only holds non-retrievable copies.
    Your only solutions are to hack/mod AppleTV to open up some functionality - which is beyond most user, or to dismatle and remove the internal drive and then use an adpter to connect it to your computer and manually hunt for the files.
    You can certainly get at the files if you're prepared to take AppleTV apart.

  • Getting files off of idisk

    Help!!Hard drive crashed and now I have a new one and I can't figure out how to get stuff off of .mac onto iweb on my new hard drive, which of course is blank. I assume that is possible. How do I transfer all my pages onto my hard drive?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unfortunately you can't get the published web site back into iWeb. It's a one way street. Unless you have a backup copy of the domain.sites2 file that you used to create the site you'll have to start over and rebuild from scratch. This site will give some tips on doing so: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html
