HT201302 The only piece of technology my father-in-law has is an iPad, how does he backup his photos and contacts?
The first and only piece of technology my father-in-law has ever owned is an iPad; how can he backup his photos and contacts in the event something happens to his iPad and needs to be replaced? He does not own a computer, just the iPad. Is any of this content in iCloud or iTunes or can be backed up there? Maybe an external device?
He should use iCloud. If he sets up an iCloud account, he will get 5GB of free storage which purchased content from the App Store and iTunes does not count against. His contacts and photos will count against the 5GB of storage but if he needs more space, it can be purchased at any time.
Many users have gone PC free and totally rely on iCloud now. It is very easy to setup on the iPad. Just tap on iCloud in the settings and follow the prompts. Read all of thses for more information.

I stripped the old iPad (the one I gave my wife), so now she only has the contacts and photos "suitable" for her. When Iwoke up this morning my iphone and my new iPad had only the photos and contacts that I left her on her old iPad!! That really *****! I've lost all of my contacts and quite a few photos. Is there a way to restore the old settings here?
Are sharing an account with your wife?

How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac? I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works! I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one. I tried his security questions to no avail.
ThanksSince that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

I accidently closed the window with all my frequently used app tabs, now the only window that opens was an extra one I had opened. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab? edit
DetailsThen the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

I am wondering if there is a way to view pics from a SD card or is the only way to transfer them then view? I have an iPad gen 3
You can only view the thumbnail sized pics. You have to import to view full size.

I am currently using iPhone 5 and changing to iphone 6 in sometime. I have taken backup of my photos, videos, contacts, notes and whatsapp. The only thing that remains is my iMessage. Can someone tell me how to backup and restore my iMessages?
iMessages are backed up in the normal backup of your phone so it will be restored when you restore the backup.

Am I the only one who gets exited out of everything on my iPhone?! I will open up Instagram and not even 2 minutes later it will close down. How do I fix this?! It's so annoying.
I will assume you are using a slower iPhone 4 on iOS 7 if you are experiencing such problems so frequently. You might already be trying this, but my first suggestion would be to double tap the home button and see what you have running. You might not be quitting any of the apps you open. To stop an app from running and slowing down your phone, after double-tapping, slide the preview cards up for apps you don't need to run.

How do I add existing photos and albumns on my iPhone to the photo stream?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest method is to connect your device to iTunes, transfer the photos to your computer and add them to photostream from there. If you only have a few photos to add, you could take a screenshot of each one. -

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer. -

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

dear sir i made a video to my brother in his wedding day from his photo and i use a song i buy it from itunes as a soundtruk , can i use this video in the facebook
No. Tracks you purchase from the iTunes Store are for your personal use only and cannot be posted, either separately or as part of a video or slide show, on any public web site or otherwise distributed to others in any way. You can't even legally give that video to your brother.
