I reset my iPad but the backup in the laptop i used for syncing was deleted. How can I restore the iPad?

I wanted to upgrade the iOS of my iPad to version 5. I reset the iPad knowing that I did not need the files or pictures I had in the gadget were already copied. As I proceded I forgot to attach it to the laptop but when I did, It opened the menu where I saw the devices but then again it only tried to access the iTunes store which is not available until now.
I decided to restore it instead, but the menu at the device column does not show any option for restore or update. the unit remains with an icon of the USB connect. To make it worse, I fear I deleted the backup file.
Help! How can I make it work again?

Try Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

No one have any idea as to what's going on with my issue?
A lot of people do, if you take a look at the More Like This widget on the right side of this page.
Try signing out and back in to iCloud in System Preferences.

Go up to the main Safari menu bar above, and select "View."
Then when that bar comes down, select "Customize Toolbar."
Then select the arrow icon, and just drag it into your toolbar.

I have a iPhone 4s from Verizon and clean esn but using for other carrier. How can I reset phone setting so I can get us contact setting? (My default contact setting is to Netherland.)

My contact setting is default for Netherland and want to resync with *228 but because of I'm not active account holder with Verizon, they can't reset it for me.
I bought it from other people and I checked the ESN , its clean one with no contract.
What's my option now? Can apple unlock it? I want to use it for GSM carrier.

Only Verizon can authorize it to be unlocked. If they won't, you'll have to sell it to someone who can use it.

After I used the migration tool to transfer contents of my previous MacBook Pro I cannot log in to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using old and new passwords but to no effect. I cannot use my Apple ID. How can I re-set my MBook to factory setting pls?

I have been a proud owner of Apple products for many years. However, this problem is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated. I used the migration tool to transfer the contents of my old MacBook Pro to my new shiny MacBook Pro Retina! After migration finished I tried to access my new MacBook Pro retina. However, when asking me to log in it refuses to accept the passwords from either the new MacBook or the old one! I do not have the option of using my Apple ID either.... Please help! Unfortunately, I am past my 90 day Apple Support!!

Restart holding down the CMD+R keys, launch Disk Utility and erase the HD, quit DU, and restore the OS. On first boot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Important contacts in the icloud deleted.how can i restore them ?

i selled my old iphone and didn't logged my icloud account out so the new owner deleted my important phone numbers in the icloud !
can someone help me to restore them ?

Contacts are not saved to icloud from an iphone backup, so a restore from icloud won't help. If someone deleted from icloud, then they are truly gone.
The only other hope is if you had a computer connected to icloud's contacts, then they would still be in one of the computer's backups. If you use a mac, then look in Time Machine. Do something similar if you used a pc. If there is no computer backup, then you are out of luck, unfortunately. Sorry.

Hello Virginia.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

Hey Posada143, You can still try the rice thing, but do not expect much, as roaminggnome has stated. The rice only works if you do it ASAP and leave the iPod off-- do not attempt use, turn on or charge until it is completely dried out. This is probably academic at this point but remember this for the next time: The drying can take 10 days. You put the uncooked rice and iPod in a sealed bag, change the rice every couple of days. This creates a low humidity environment and draws the moisture out of the iPod, but it takes time. Turn your iPod on to earlier, and you run the risk of shorting out, damaging the components inside. Even if done correctly it can spotty. If you do get the iPod to work (and this may require Resetting, Restoring or attempting to place it in DFU recover mode) the first thing you do is make backups, because you never know how long it will continue to work. As for your pictures, if you can't get your iPod to work, you can try data retrieval companies, however; there is no guaranty it will work and it tends to be very expensive. In the future get in the habit of as making backups, because you just don't know. And invest in and use a water tight case. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.
