How to restore iPad without Redownloading iOS6

I have already downloaded via WiFi and trying to restore it via iTunes. It wants to download iOS6 before restoring. I know I can do it via the iPad but can I do it without downloading what I already have?

You need to put the iPad into recovery mode, if you succesfully do that then your computer's iTunes won't prompt you to enter the passcode on the iPad : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

Thanks Eric,
After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
Thanks for helping me out.
Cheers, Rob

How to unlock iPad without itunes

How do you unlock the IPad without having a computer for iTunes. My niece somehow changed her code, & forgot what it is. Can she use my iTunes to recover?

Yes, she can use your iTunes. However, she will lose anything that she
has not backed up to iCloud or her computer (if there is one). In many
countries, media and apps can be redownloaded if purchased via iTunes.
Photos/movies taken with the iPad that were not synced to a computer or
iCloud will be gone (iCloud limit is 30 days and 1000 photos - if I remember correctly).
If her iPad is in recovery due to forgotten password, there is nothing else to
do besides restore.

How to restore ipad in recovery mode

I am trying to restore an iPad Gen 3 on IOS 6 using recovery mode but iTunes cannot find the backup file on my PC while the iPad is in recovery mode.
However, on my PC, iTunes shows that a backup exists when I say that I need to do a restore. The restore can't work due to the passcode being in place and not remembered. The iPad needs to be restored becausee the person forgot their passcode.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

‘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.

After a backup, clicked on upgrade IOS via Itunes. Upgrade failed and now IPAD is locked, showing a graphic of a cable connector, an arrow and an Itunes symbol. Ipad is locked there. How to restore IPAD?

Upgrade my IPAD from 8.1.3 to 8.2 via Itunes (from Windows Computer)
First I backed up the IPAD via Itunes on my Windows laptop.
Then I click upgrade IOS to 8.2 on Itunes.
Later got a upgrade failure pop up window.
Now IPAD is locked with a blank screen showing a cable connector and an arrow pointing to Itunes symbol.
The IPAD does not boot, and the Itunes does not recognize the IPAD.
turning on/off the IPAD does not change the display.
How to restore or reboot the IPAD?

I rebooted the computer and tried once again using a different USP port. This did the trick!. I was able to run the IOS update and it stuck and timed out while the Itunes was indicating that it was verifying the IOS installation (on ipad I could see a grayed working bar). After it timed out the IPAD completed the task, and now it is working again.
Thanks!

I open the mobilesync and I find bund of code file ,but i could not restore back ?
The photo i need it back urgently.
What can i do and can it restore back
Thanks!
Delon.

This article will explain how to restore your iPad. You will want to restore from a backup in order to get your data back. If the photos were in your Camera Roll or Saved Album, those photos will be restored as well. Read this for more information on restoring.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If the photos were synced to the iPad from iTunes, just try syncing again to retrieve them.
Don't fool around with the MobileSync folder on the hard drive. There really is no need to do anything with that folder at this point.

How to restore files without TIme Machine

Help! Anyone know how to restore files on tiger? I lost my WHOLE library of photos! And I don't have back ups. :'(
I was running short of disk space, so I decided to clean up some unnecessary files on my disk. I once imported all my photos from iPhoto to Aperture. Since I usually use iPhoto, I decided to delete all the photos from Aperture library. But the next time when I opened my iPhoto, I found the photos in iPhoto library were also deleted!!! Now there are only thumbnails of all the photos!
Please! Anyone know how to restore the photos on Tiger? I can't afford to lose all my photos. :'(

Try Subrosasoft's FileSalvage.
If that doesn't work try Prosoft Data Rescue II
If that doesn't work, take it to a professional such as http://www.drivesavers.com/
And in the future always keep backing up your data as my FAQ* explains:
