HT4623 How to avoid "restoring" iPAD after attempt to update to latest version of iOS 7?

After I downloaded a new app to my iPad from my MacBook Pro, iTunes message asked me to update to latest version (iOS 7 already installed). Process took longer than expected and message requests to "restore the iPAD." Is there anyway not to do that?

Are you a developer?  If so, post this question in the developer forum.  If not, why are you using a beta version of ios 7?  You need to restore your device as NEW in itunes and update the current software version.

    How can I restore from a previous backup? I installed version 8 and is a disaster.

    Restoring previous backup will NOT revert to the older version of iOS.
    Downgrading iOS is not allowed.
    What are your problems?
    Maybe if you list them here we can help you to fix them.

  • Unable restore iPad after 5.1 update due to "corrupt backup"

    I'm getting a corrupt backup message after updating iPad to 5.1 from iTunes on a Windows 7 HP laptop: “iTunes could not restore the iPad "iPad" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible.” I also have an iPhone 4 which I updated a while earlier without any problems.
    Looking up community recommendations, I deleted older backups, still no dice. How do I restore my iPad? Have tons of stuff so factory restore not acceptable. Can you help?
    Here’s what I did:
    1) ITunes->Edit->Preferences->Devices: deleted older backups
    2) Shut down iTunes
    3) C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup: deleted (actually moved to another location) all backups except most current backup.
    4) Rebooted
    5) Started iTunes
    6) Reconnected iPad
    7) Selected "Continue Restore"..
    Get same error.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hmmmmm... Should I say Yes or No to your question? After resetting the IPad I restored the Backup with the personal data from ICloud and the Apps were re-downloaded from the App-Store and installed. But the gamedata was not deleted because it was backuped in the cloud.

  • HT4623 Cannot re-activate my iPad after the OS7 update, nor can I use iTunes to update it. I only the iPad and a PC, fyi.

    I had my iPad for some time now and it's been activated and works. Then it auto updated to the new iOS7 and requires me to re-activated it, yet I cannot. This is the message that keeps popping up "Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting you iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." I've tried countless times and still I get this message, I own a PC and never had downloaded iTunes before, so I finally downloaded it and tried to run it and I get this message "itunes cannot read because was created by a newer version." I never had iTunes before so I don't understand the message, i was going to look it up myself but I figured to post my questions here first. What can I do to activate my iPad? My wifi works great, it was activated before the update, can't use iTunes and I keep getting the same message on my iPad. I hope someone can help me and explain it in baby steps.

    Hey beetlethug,
    I found the following troubleshooting steps for when you're experiencing activation issues, I'd give them a shot:
    Perform the following steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

    Howdy Toner_13,
    If you are having an issue with being unable to make App Store purchases because of a declined payment method, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    have a nice day

    Hi
    The blunt awnser is you can't - sorry
    But you can- unadviseably as it is illegal - but there is still websites that do it but if you want to get the further iOS' then you will have to purchase a new ipod :)
    Hope I've helped

  • Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? error 1

    Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? I get an unknown error 1 message. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Something happened during the download and froze iTunes. After spending three days searching these forums with the dead iPad, the only thing I got to work was to try downloading iOS 5 using my sons computer. This worked. However I cannot now get my computer's iTunes to sync with my iPad.. It contains the same error message (1602) and has the same problem as before. It is not an antivirus problem. I need some help too

    Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

    Restore from iCloud Backup
    1. Erase all contents and settings (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings)
    2. You'll be asked twice to confirm
    3. You'll see Apple logo and progress bar
    4. You'll see a big iPad logo on screen
    5. Configuration start
    6. Set language
    7. Set country
    8. Enable Location Service
    9. Select network, enter password and join network
    10. You'll be given 3 options (a) Setup as New iPad (b) Restore from iCloud Backup (c) Restore from iTune Backup
    11. Selected Restore from iCloud Backup
