I accidentally stored my backup information on my aunties iPad 2 so her information is gone. How do I restore it back?
Connect to her computer again and see if you can find her latest backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
If it is still listed, restore it again and use this backup again after the new setup.
If you already synced after you used your backup on her device, the info is gone, iTunes replaces each backup with the new one, unless you use a backup to restore from. This backup will be marked with a time stamp and will not be removed from the list until you delete it.

I have erased my Ipad remotely thinking it was stolen. It has now been returned, but I don't want to switch it on and erase all information. Can I reverse the erase? If not, how do I restore the info?
You can't reverse the erase.
Restore from your iTune or iCloud backup. -

I lost all of my information updating to iOS 6 on my IPhone 4. How do I get it back?
As Lawrence Finch suggests you can recover more recent information if you have a more recent iCloud backup.
To avoid this problem in the future you should check the iTunes settings when your phone is connected. Make sure iTunes is not set to sync automatically when your iPhone is connected. Another step to take is to give your new iPhone a unique name that is different from your old iPhone. Finally, the best way to charge an iPhone is to use the charger that came with the iPhone and plug that into a good wall outlet. -
i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please
Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes. -
how can I restore a back up of an old iphone to a new iphone (after I accidentally started a "new" iphone name?
Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
I am not sure what you mean by:
It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you. -
HI guys

I accidentally reset my iPod and now there is only two apps, how do I restore everything back?

Restore from backup if y have one
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
HT1414 How do I restore my back up?
My phone was backed up under someone elses itunes account and now my phone wont restore. Am I able to restore the back up?
See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
Also,
To help avoid overwriting that backup when you connect the iPod to the computer turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...". -
After I did a backup from iTunes I noticed 3 of my contacts were gone and then tried to restore from a old backup, worked once and now it won't again. Why is iTunes restore not working correctly?
I thought all my contacts were saved in iTunes, never had this problem before. Besides manually restoring them myself, is there any other way to retrive them?iCloud

So I had my macbook fixed and when I restored from my time machine there were two options and I accidentally clicked the wrong one which restored it to my settings from a year ago. I know I have the backup from a few days ago on my external hard drive but when I go into time machine and click restore it says there is not enough free space available. I think that is because it is trying to restore the new backup on top of the old settings. Is there a way to erase my computer and restore the new backup? I know you can do that with the CD but I don't have it and I'd prefer not to have to go back all the way to the apple store to get them to do it there. Any help would be appreciated!

If they are not in a backup then your only hope is to get them from your PhotoStream. See:

My New Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old IPhone 3gs on Itunes. How do i get it to restore back to the 4g?
There is no 4g.
If you don't want to restore it with your old iPhone information, then just restore as a NEW phone, not from the backup. Don't quite understand what there's not to get. :-| -
When I first plugged my new iphone into itunes and tried restoring from my old device it said I couldn't becauas my old device's software was too old. I then updates my old device. I plugged in my new phone and accidently chose to treat it as 'new' as apposed to restore up from old device. I do I now restore all my apps and what not from my old phone?
Aa long as your Backup file is still the Backup from your earlier iPhone you will have no problem in Restoring your iPhone from that earlier Backup. There are many reasons that owners would choose to Restore to Factory Settings (as New) and then go back and Restore their Backup content. If you connect your iPhone to iTunes use the iTunes pulldown menus at the top left of the iTunes Screen looking for your Device and then the available Backup Files will show and you can select the one that relates to the date of the Backup you want.
You will NOT need to Erase any content to do this.
On my iTunes on my Mac it is under File>Devices>Backup -
I wanted to upgrade the iOS of my iPad to version 5. I reset the iPad knowing that I did not need the files or pictures I had in the gadget were already copied. As I proceded I forgot to attach it to the laptop but when I did, It opened the menu where I saw the devices but then again it only tried to access the iTunes store which is not available until now.
I decided to restore it instead, but the menu at the device column does not show any option for restore or update. the unit remains with an icon of the USB connect. To make it worse, I fear I deleted the backup file.
Help! How can I make it work again?Try Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

‘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.
