I have had to restore my iPad 4 3 times today so far.  Why?

Three times today I have had to restore my ipad.  I can't figure out why. 

We cannot figure it out either ... without a whole lot more information from you.
What else has happened recently that might possibly have caused this?

  • HT1414 I have had to restore my ipad to factory settings and then tried to restore the data from the backup on itunes, but none of my apps have restored - please can anyone help as my daughter is going to go mad if I can't get her games back to where they

    I have had to restore my ipad to factory settings, having made a backup on my pc first. When Ihave tried to restore from my pc I have no apps!! Please can anyone help me get them back with all their data. I don't have wifi at home and I have never been able to sync my pc with my ipad, although it works with my iphone! I copied all of the apps before I restored using itunes, but no idea where they are copied to. Any help would be hugely appreciated to get my daughters games back. Thank you in advance )

    Hi Skydiver119
    Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
    Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
    I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
    Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible?

  • I have had to restore my ipad how long does it take its only two weeks old

    i have had to restore my ipad 2 how long does it take and its only two weeks old

    Depends on what method you chose to restore, wifi or itunes. Speed of internet and of computer. Whether you're restoring to factory settings or from a backup. There are many factors involved.
    Without knowing any other info, I would plan on anywhere from 30min. to 2hrs

  • I have had to restore my iPad and have just restored my back up...I'm going through the final stages of my appleid signin and when I put my password in it says "couldn't sign it..the certificate for this server is invalid. Wot can I do?

    I'm on holiday in USA.  I lucky have my computer to back up with, however I'm in a hotel using their server and the iPad message is saying I may be using a server pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put my info at risk.
    When I click ok...it won't allow me to go to the next stage. I can't go onto the web on iPad to confirm hotel server as I can't pass the setup on my iPad. Ay thoughts anyone please. I can't wait till I return to UK I need my iPad here.
    Thanks
    Grace

    I have had to restore my pc to a place back in time when it worked correctly. This meant that iTunes was deleted. I have now downloaded the latest version of iTunes but I cant sync my iPad with it. I get the message that this iPad is synced with another iTunes Library and cant sync to this one.  Thankfully all my music library is on iPad. I would be grateful for some help on this issue

    Its solved I just restored it to that point

  • I had  to restore my iPad mini. Now when I go to the App Store and tap the cloud to reload some of my apps, it times out and they won't load. Any suggestions?

    i had to restore my iPad mini and when I go to the App Store to reload some of my apps it times out and doesnt reload them. Any suggestions?

    Close the App Store app and reset your iPad.
    Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    In order to reset your iPad, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen after which time you can release the buttons and let the iPad start up.
    IF that didn't help, try turning WiFi off on your iPad in the Settings, restart the iPad, then turn Wifi on again.

  • I have had to reset my iPad to factory settings and lost iTunes

    Question: how can I retrieve my iTunes, mad configure across all 3 pieces of kit.
    I have had to reset my iPad 2 to factory settings, and in so doing lost iTunes and photos.
    This has been a very long term issue with my Icloud account. It's never worked on my mac notebook, iPad nor recently purchased iPhone 4.
    This issue has been compounded by bad advice from Apple Helpine who is insisted I recreate an Apple ID using a gmail account.
    A meeting at a Genius Bar discredited this advice and promised to send me an email explaining how to get, retrieve my mac e address, that email did not arrive.
    In desperation I have had to reset my iPad, reset my ID and at least iCloud is now working for the first time.
    However I suspect the iTunes is now attached to the gmail account, which I do not wish to receive.

    Typos mad = and
    Receive = retrieve

  • I have had to restore me PC to factory settings  and now itunes says I am connected to another PC not the case . How do I get my music back

    I have been having problems connecting to the internet, so I tried restoring to an earlier date with no luck, so I have had to restore my PC back to factory setting. When I log on to my iTunes library it says I am already connect to another PC. I have lost all my music and photos. I have them on my ipad but I don't want to sync it with my new account as this will take all my information of my iPad. Anyone know how to get my origianl iTunes back.   

    I did back up my computer and then put everything back on ( or so I thought) but it did not work properly ( I don't know why) maybe I hit the wrong button, but know on my back up for iTunes it is the one  I have  on my computer now without all my music and photos. Guess I'll just have to start again, I did manage to work out how to get any purchases I got from iTunes. So it's just all my own music bit of a bummer really but still you live and learn, so I'm told.
    Thanks for the help thought much appreciated.

  • HT5312 I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset when I did not reset them.  Started early June 2013 and in a month i have had to reset it three times. Apple support was not helpful.  Any suggestions?

    I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset.  I did not reset it.  Since early June 2013 to now i have had to reset it 3 times.  It is not an easy one to remember either. Initally I thought it was some pfishing expedition but no purchases have been confirmed by my visa.  My kids use my Apple Id to download APs and I am informed when this happens.  Nothing strange happening on the financial site at all. Just frustrating as we have to keep updating the ID to use messenger, I cloud etc on all of the devices.  I called Apple Support and the girl initally said she knew nothing about this but then spoke to someone else and they are aware of this ongoing problem and are working on it.  Any suggestions? Are others having the same problems?

    If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
    Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:
