I bought an ipad mini and was recovering from my Ipad 2 from icloud

However, my new mini has been stuck on "This iPad is currently being restored and will automatically back up when it is done. 
What is going on with it?  How do I back it up so I can delete my old iPad 2 information to sell it?

Hello MryTweety,
Congratulations on your new iPad mini!  It sounds like you are getting the message, "This iPad is currently being restored and will automatically back up when it is done."  This message indicates that a restore of a backup is taking place and a new backup cannot be made till the restore is complete:
"This iPhone is currently being restored and will automatically back up when it is done."
This message is displayed to indicate that backups cannot occur while a background restore is still occurring. You should allow the restore to complete and then try backing up later.
You can find more information about iCloud alert messages at the following article:

  • Hello. I just bought an iPod mini and I it says I need a pas code to initiate. The first time I turn it on it worked now it is asking for pass code and I didnt put one on it. What can I do?

    I bought an iPod mini and I was able to work on it one night. Now it says I need a 4 digits pass code to initiate and is blocked. What can I do?

    You will need to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

  • Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
    When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
    I hope this helps you my friend!

  • I just bought an I phone and was playing Scrabble when an advertisement popped up and I tried to go back to the game and now I can't use any of my apps because whenever I touch one they shake and have an X on them.  What did I do?I just bought an I phone

    Relax. Nothing is wrong.
    You accidentally tapped-and-held a little too long and you entered what many people call "jiggly mode" - i.e. app reorganization and deletion mode. When in this mode, you can move apps around on your various home screens, create and organize app folders, and delete apps (by tapping the X).
    Exit this mode by tapping your Home Button one time.

    There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
    Why do you ask the same question again?  The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

    Can you provide a link to the offer?  Was it for the iTunes Store, the Mac App Store, or an Apple Store (retail)?
    You were charged for what?  You made purchases in advance of having a voucher?

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • I cannot load more photos onto my iPad as I'm being told there is not enough storage. I have bought an extra 20 GB storage plan from iCloud so how can I now load more photos onto my iPad. Surely there is enough space!  Do I need to delete previous photos?

    I cannot load more photos onto my iPad even though I have bought an extra 20 GB storage plan from iCloud. As I am on holidays and taking loads of photos I thought  a good plan was to load them onto my iPad and then regularly back them up to iCloud. If I do this, do I then delete those photos from the iPad that I have backed up to iCloud and if I delete them from the iPad are they gone forever or can I somehow get them back from iCloud? I'm only new at all of this so I hope someone can assist me. I'd hate to lose all of my photos(I know they are still on my memory stick) but I would like to have them safe and secure and able to retrieved whenever I wish.

    You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
    Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
    Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
    If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
    Tap iCloud.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    In the Backups section, tap your device.
    In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
    To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

  • Black Screen On ZBook 15 G2 - The Shared SPI Flash was recovered from Embedded Controler Flash

    Hi
    I have just bought a HP Zbook 15 G2 (1day old),  PN K3C12PA a off the shelf unit (CPU 4910MQ, GPU 2100K, Z Turbo Drive SSD, QHD+ screen, RAM 32GB)
    This unit comes with the 256 GB HP Z Turbo Drive (PCIe SSD) I used the supplied disk to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8.1,
    now the unit will randomly black screen, I can hear the fan and unit seems to still be on, the only way to recover is to turn of the power via the main powder button.
    Fault 1
    Upon reboot white screen appears with "The Shared SPI Flash was recovered from Embedded controller Flash" with the title "Embedded Controller Recovery"
    I'm not able to repeat the fault just seems to be random.
    Fault 2
    The mouse pointer hangs and will take 30-Sec to unhang, task manager show little or no use / load.
    twice the unit as frozen and required a on / off / on rests as no keyboard or track pad input would work.
    I'm not able to repeat the fault just seems to be random.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Antony

    Hello HP-ZBook-User,
    I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your laptop. Since you have upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 there maybe an issue with your graphics driver as you have experienced hang ups. You can try to update all drivers using the HPSA utility. This will scan your notebook and will detect any drivers that maybe out of date or did not successfully install.

    I bought an iphone 5C and my music from my dell laptop doesn't let me sync my music into my phone. When i first bought it I accidentally pressed don't show again on itunes. How do I download itunes 11.1 or later now?  I have been trying for atleast a month, but I can't find any solutions. I had payed a lot of money on those songs and albums, and now I can't even sync it on to my phone. I know it was stupid of me to press that button, but I need help on trying to get it to sync.  -Mohima

    You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
    Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

    Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

    That message it means that you will not be able to create another iCloud account on your device as the maximum number have already been created.  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create your new account using on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.
