    My iPad is not responding. It does not unlock. I have a message: iCloud Backup, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". My Question: plugged in to WHAT? locked, HOW? and how to connect to Wi-Fi when my iPad does not respond to anything I do with it? PLEASE HELP.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
    The iPad makes a backup into iCloud automatically when it's connected to the network and it is been charged

  • HT4623 I don't know what has happened but the update didn't work and now it asks me to restore the iPad. I don't know whether I should as i'm too scared it will delete everything i had on my iPad. What should i do if i did backup my iPad before the update

    So i have a serious problem regarding the iOS update on my iPad 4 and i don't know whether i should restore it because i'm scared it will loose all the data.

    You are saying that you DID backup your iPad so there should be no worries at all. After you restore the iOS, you can restore from the backup - and sync with iTunes, if you are using iTunes - and you should be fine. If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the screen, you are in recovery mode.
    Read this for more information.

    If you didn't backup your iPad, there is nothing that you can do about it now. You will lose everything when you restore. You can add you purchased content back to the device using the purchased tabs in all of the iStores or you can sync your content back to the iPad if you use iTunes.
    No matter what, you have to restore if you want to be able to use your iPad again.

  • HT1766 If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure.  I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
    Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

  • How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup on my same account.  They're both listed on my list of backups, but it won't let me choose to backup to the one I want on my other iPad which I no longer have.  But I specifically want the pictures

    How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup I have on my same iCloud account.  The old one is totally gone.  Both backups are listed on my iCloud account. So is there any way I can backup the one I have now to the other one.  I really just want the pictures that are in the old backup.  I have tried resetting and erasing all settings and data on the one I still have, but when I go to restore by iCloud;  it only gives me the choice of restoring the same iPad.  Then in iCloud>storage>backup, I'm still not able to choose which backup to backup to.  I've even tried deleting the backup to the iPad I still have, then resetting all setting and data on the iPad, hoping that in resetting up the iPad it would give me the option to backup to my old iPad.  But it doesn't.  It still has memory of the backup of my newer iPad.
    I JUST WANT THE PICTURES!!!
    Thank you!!!
    iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 6.1.3, iCloud Backup

    You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

  • If I delete a backup icon for an old iPhone on my iPad will it delete all the photos saved from that phone in my iCloud??

    It won't affect any photos in photo stream but any photos within the back up itself will go.

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • I upgraded to iOS8.1.3, and now when I attempt to backup my iPad to iTunes for Windows, it keeps popping up an error message

    H. I upgraded to iOS8.1.3, and now when I attempt to backup my iPad to iTunes for Windows, it keeps popping up an error message "not enough space on the computer". There is over 130Gb of space! I have updated iTunes, but no change. Is it an issue in the iOS update? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Would appreciate your guidance...
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    When you upgraded, itunes should have put a copy of the itunes library database in a folder named *Previous iTunes Libraries* . If you upgraded itunes today it will show as
    iTunes Library 2010-02-28.itl
    Use these directions to get it back
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
    Since I am not sure of your setup, look for the "Previous" folder on both your C: and F: drives.

  • Can I backup my Ipad directly to Time Capsule

    Is there a way to backup an Ipad without connecting directly to a Mac or PC?

    can I backup my iPad directly to Time Capsule?
    In a word, no.
    The iPad backs up to iTunes on your Mac or PC. Then, the Mac backs up in turn using Time Machine to the Time Capsule.
    Your other option is to backup the iPad using iCloud.

  • How do I assign a disk drive to backup my iPad

    I am trying to update to iOS 8.1.1, using iTunes on my PC.  However, there is insufficient space in my C: drive to backup the iPad Mini.  I have other hard drives that have space and want to use one of the other drives for iTunes to perform the backup.

    KenW3668, please NOTE:
    iCloud will backup:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail
    iCloud Backups exclude the following:
    Music, movies, and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
    Podcasts and audio books
    Photos that were originally synced from your computer
    These threads are full of people who were not aware of those last items that are NOT backed up to iCloud. Be forewarned and make sure those specific items are backed up to alternate devices.

  • Can I backup my iPad with Time Capsule

    I have recently set up my new TC and need to know if it can be configured to automatically backup my iPad. I rarely use anything other than my iPad.

    No. An iPad cannot backup to a TC. iTunes backs up the iPad. Time Machine will backup your iTunes folder and all other relevant folders to the TC.
