HT201269 Back-up for new iPad

I find that my iCloud back-up (using iOS 6.1.2) is not compatible with the version of iOS (6.0) on my new iPad.  What should I do?
Thanks

You can also back up iOS devices to your Mac/PC through iTunes sync. See here for details.

    It's asking for the passcode you use to lock/unlock your iPad.

    Can't remember password for new ipad air. have never synced it with another computer never had the chance to use icloud. How do i get in?       Tried to sync with itunes but iTunes can't sync without a password.  I cannot see summary on the side bar.  How do I restore so I can restart my  iPAD Air since it has relatively no history. I have not had the chance to use it yet.  Finished set up to as far as the start menu.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘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 canceling 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.

    I've encountered a similar issue after having restored my iPad from a backup saved on a MBA. All PDFs (+100) are gone. The customized headings of the categories are still available but no more PDF. I guess that those PDFs were saved on the MBA during the synchronization of my iPad via iTunes. Is there a way to restore them ?

  • My touch screen for new ipad broke down what can ido ?

    my touch screen for new ipad broke down and i live in Saudi Arabia , what can i do ?

    Does it not work at all ? Have you tried a reset to see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Screen protector for new iPad !!!

    I use Zagg screen protectors

  • I have dented the back of my new iPad and it is causing a little blur on the screen. Can this be fixed?

    I have dented the back of my new iPad and it is causing a little blur on the screen. Can this be fixed?

    Yes, but "fix" entails replacing yours with a refurbished one at a reduced cost. There is no physical fix in the sense of removing the back unless you were to do that yourself.
    Damage caused by you is not covered under the warranty. You can take it to your local Apple retailer to see what can be arranged.

  • Is it possible for new ipad buyer change for Ipad 4?

    i heard that apple had stop produce the new ipad due to the ipad 4 is coming. it's really unfair for new ipad buyer who just buy it this year. is it possible for the new ipad buyer change their ipad with the ipad 4?

    This is just a website scam that's going around right now. It cannot infect you in any way.
    Some people have reported being directed to the App Store to download a particular camera app. If you are, do not download it. It cannot infect you with anything, but you don't want to reward the scammers by downloading their app. If you downloaded the app and paid money for it, contact Apple to dispute the charge.

  • Any Video strategy for new iPad?

    I know the video for iPad shhould be a mp4 file, coding by H.264.
    As the new iPad features a retina display, it requires higher resolution video.
    Is there anyone has any idea about what the best setting when I try to compress the video for new iPad?
    Quanlity vs File size ( resolution, bitrate, and any other thing?)

    Thanks to Bob.
    I also read something like this:
    iPad3 supports a maximum video dimension of 1920×1080 which is likely more resolution than you really need on iPad3.
    It seems that the resolutioin/deimension is not the most important thing.
    How about the bitrate for iPad 3? Anyone has any experiences about it?

  • Trying to decide about a case or getting Ghost Armor on back with Apple screen cover for new ipad.

    I got a new ipad on Friday and now I am trying to decide whether to get a case or get Ghost Armor on the back with a Smart Cover for the front. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am loving my ghost armor. In addition to a plain clear look, you can pick a color for the back of your iPad
