That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use. See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this. If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha!

Is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?

is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?

You don't even have to do to an erase all content and settings.
Just connect the iPad to iTunes. Once it appears on the left, right click on it and select restore from backup. It's that easy.

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

How can I restore my itunes library onto my new PC. My old PC was hit by a virus and I was unable to export it ??

Quite a while ago my 'old' PC was hit by a virus and I was unable to extract any data from it. When I got a new PC I could not find a way to recover my library from itunes so reluctantly I signed up for a new account. Is there some way that I can contact itunes to see about having my old library restored on my new PC ?? I even had money in the account that was unused !!

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Why would you start a new account? Why no use the same account on the new computer?

HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email. I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music. I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes. itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think. Can someone help with this?

razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer. I've used it for other things and it works.

Getting my itunes library onto my new laptop

I have a very old laptop so have bought a new windows 8 one.
I followed the instructions to back up my library on my old laptop and transfer this to my new laptop via an external hard drive, which I have done. I now don't seem able to add this previous library to the itunes on my new laptop. I cant even open the previous library or see the tracks to add them to my library. Can anyone help?

Hi there lynntoman,
I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the "External drive" section of the article below. From the sound of it, you may be at step 3.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

Mu ipad was stolen today and i want to view icloud backup for today. Can i do this?

My ipad was stolen today. It is not showing up on iCloud. Can i view iCloud backup for today? If so how?

Try resetting the Winsock key. You will have to locate Command Prompt in Windows 8 (in Windows 7 its in Start>All Programs>Accessories), then right-click on it and choose Run as Administrator.** Once in command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Then restart your PC and see if you can sign in now.
** I saw in another post that to run Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows 8 you do the following:
Go to the Start menu
Press the Windows logo key + Z to open the app commands.
Press Enter to select 'All apps'.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the 'Command Prompt' tile.
Press the Application key to bring up the app commands.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to 'Run as administrator' and press Enter. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Providing you had already enabled "find my iPad" in settings > iCloud, you can login to your iCloud account on a computer at iCloud.com , and try to track your iPod from there.
