How to retrieve videos from a restore backup on ipad

Hi,
I need to retrieve videos that I had restore on my ipad to my computer. After I had restore them on my computer, the videos was gone out on the ipad that I restore. So is there away I can retrieve these on my computer I did this through itunes. If the ipad was restore it should be somewhere on my hard drive computer so How can i retrieve them from the bsckup on my computer. I didn't sign up for the icloud i just did a restore on my computer with itunes. I already had an account with itunes for my ipad to sync and restore, the other ipad that I want videos to put back was not synce before so I restore it on my itunes ipad account but i do need these videos back on there ipad. I have to return this ipad back to someone. So need help! I know the videos is restore somewhere. It cant be lost. If its restore and backup it just can't be lost.
Thanks
Help me ASAP!

If you are saying that you hadn't backed up that iPad to your computer's iTunes then you won't have a backup of it with which to try and restore back to the iPad.
If you did backup the iPad then what app were the videos in ? If they were in the Videos app then they won't be included in a backup anyway, so restoring won't copy them back. If the iPad was never synced to your computer then presumably you won't have those videos in the Movies or TV Shows sections of your iTunes library which you could then sync back to the iPad (?).
If they were taken with the iPad and were in the Photos app then if you took a backup of that iPad then they should be in that backup - in which case restoring to that backup to the iPad should put them back on the iPad.

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
Thanks
Tony

Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup. Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later. It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account. If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings. You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad. Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again). They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

I have a LaCie external hard disk. I do not know how to retrieve photos from iphoto that have disappeared. I do not know how to use Time Machine

I have a LaCie external hard drive. I also have Time Machine. I somehow have "lost" almost all my 5,000+ photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I would appreciate someone giving me directions on how to retrieve the photos from the external hard drive or Time Machine.
The last thing that I did that is different from my normal routine was to trash duplicate music tunes from iTunes. I cannot figure out how that would have caused my photos to disappear.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I remember being cautioned to never do anything with the iPhoto Library. Should I have clicked on the iPhoto Library and then Restore?
I do not know "how" items are being placed in the LaCie external drive, just that it shows a backup running about every hour. I have taken a snapshot of the Time Machine Preferences I would you to see. Maybe that would answer this question.
In March 2011 I had to have hard drive on my iMac replaced. I had been using a Seagate external drive for backups. However I was not using Time Machine. When the Apple guru was helping me restore all my files etc on the new hard drive he was not familiar with Seagate and recommended I purchase this LaCie and use Time Machine. I never had any problem retrieving items from the Seagate backup. It was very straightforward. As I mentioned previously, I just don't have a clue with the LaCie and Time Machine.
I hope this is not TMI.

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream). If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore. But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

How to retrieve contacts from a previous back up?

How can you retrieve contacts from a previous backup?

Actually, this is correct.
I didn't write they were not included in the backup, just why they are part of the backup.
-> iTunes: About iOS backups
"iTunes will back up the following information
Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss."

How to retrieve info from a MacOs Standard floppy?

How can I retrieve information from a MacOs Standard formatted floppy disk on Snow Lion?
I have this collection of old floppy disks that were formatted as MacOs Standard format back in the days. They do hold some files which I'd like to backup on a backup drive.
But, Snow Lion does not read MacOs Standard formatted disks apparently.
So, does anyone know how to retrieve information from MacOs Standard formatted floppy disks?
Thank you!

This what I see in ML with my old SmartDisk VST (model# FDUSB-M) floppy drive:
Interesting observations:
1. I was able to add and remove files to the disk.
2. I was not able to erase the disk with Disk Utility. It returned an error.
3. Disk Utility did not offer the HFS+ format option, only FAT32 and ExFAT.
4. I could only find 1 floppy in my house so it could be partially defective.

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

How to delete video from iTunes library

Hello, I've only had my ipod for a few weeks now. I've finaly figured out how to rip dvds/encode them, etc. During this trial and error period I was putting all kinds of junk in my itunes library.
My question is how to remove videos from my itunes library.
..one more question.
I've been using a dvd ripper and video converter made by Xilisoft. After I import the movie from my pc to itunes video library and ipod, I've noticed that the audio doesn't match up with the video. Its like watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie. Has anybody used Xilisoft software and had the same problems? If so, what did you do to recify the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
self-built Windows XP Pro

OK, I finally figured it out. I still don't have the clear option available. I had to double click on video, highlight, then press delete.
I'm curious why I don't have a clear option like I do in library.
Oh well, at least I can delete old files from my itunes now.
Thanks for the quick responses.

Drag it into the open iTunes application window. You may need to use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 first.

How to transfer video from macbook to ipad2

How to transfer video from macbook to ipad2

Haryati-
I found your question while researching another one on the same topic. I found it hard to believe that iPad videos could not be transfered to a computer!
I made a short video on my iPad 2. It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES. The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected". I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
Then I tried it with Aperture. The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black. However an Exported Version played correctly.

How to import videos from iPhone 4 to PC?

I'm trying to get a video that I recorded and edited with my iPhone 4 and iMovie, on my PC so I can share it with others. It won't email because the file size is too big (but the video is only 1:20...) and I uploaded it to YouTube but they removed the audio because it's copyright infringment. I've going through My Computer and a few other things and all the photos get imported but when I try and play an imported video it won't load and just freezes. Any tips?

How do I import videos from MacBook Pro to an iPad mini?

If you normally sync with iTunes, import those videos into iTunes and then use iTunes to sync them onto your device.
Another option, depending on file size, you can use something like dropbox, upload the videos into dropbox, then download them into your iPad.
