I upgraded to iOS 7, now trying to restore from a back up, and it always bring me back to the factory reset, everytime I try putting the backup. Help?

So, I made a backup of my device (iPad 2). It was on iOS 4.3.2. I updated to iOS 7. Now, I'm at the default opening screen. I have to choose language, country, then connect to WiFi. After that, it asks me if I want to start new or restore from a backup from iCloud or iTunes. I select iTunes (because my backup is on iTunes), it brings me to the "Connect to iTunes" screen. I restore the iPad, and when the loading is all finshed, I come back to the iPad, and it's back to the default screen! Then I tried again and again. 5 times it didn't work. I also tried putting it in recovery mode prior to restoring, it doesn't work either. Help please?

Help Upgrade to Maverick fails - now unable to restore from time machine as well

Hello,
I have an iMac (2008) which was running snow leopard. The App store reminders to upgrade for free to Mavericks got me today and I decided to go with the upgrade. After the down load of the s/w and while rebooting, it prompts for user id and password.
My iMac has always had an user id and a password. But strangely it would not accept the valid password for the user id. I have retried it several times and it will not accept the password. Not knowing how to proceed, I wanted to revert back.
So I pop in the Snow Leopard bootup DVD and when it starts, I connect to my wifi and choose utilities to perform a time machine restore. The backup was done just prior to my upgrade to mavericks. I am able to mount my external network storage and locate the time machine backup and choose the disk to restore to and the process starts and after a few minutes it aborts.
There is a log file that is shown - but the contents are not easily understood.
Now I have and iMac that is not functional. I am looking for some help.
I would be open to installing Mavericks from scratch - but I do not have the bootable USB. I would like to use my network drive and use that to start my computer with Mavericks and then possibly extract the data from my time machine backup. I am hoping that the restore of my data files / pictures / documents etc can be restored from time machine.
Any ideas how I can proceed from here? Thanks in advance.

MichelPM,
Have been offline all along. I resorted to your advice and went with installing Snow Leopard on the external hard drive booting the system on that.
I first tried recovering my Time machine backup - but did not work. So I ended up installing Mavericks on the internal hard drive on my iMac first. Then I was able to connect to my Time machine backup and restored all my data and documents. I chose not to recover the applications. The only useful app that I used was office for mac 2011. I went to microsoft's website to do a fresh install of office for mac 2011 and I am back in business.
Overall a painful way to get an upgrade done. On to my next task - preparing a bootable drive with Mavericks and to back up on Time machine.
Thank you for your suggestions.

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3. Here is what I had to do:
Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times. Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

Upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

So now I went back to the screen that orginally asked me for my Apple ID and passort, and instead of entering my Apple ID i entered the email address associated with it and the new password. It now tells me "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons. To enable your account, reset your passwort at iforgot.apple.com"
I have now changed my password twice and it still doesn't work.
Until I get this resolved my tablet is useless.

What did you upgrade? There is no such thing as iOS X, there is iOS and OS X. iOS is for iphones, ipads, and ipods and OS X is the Mac operating system.

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

I restored my iPhone 5 to IOS 7.1 on computer and tried to restore from icloud back up. It says "restore completed" but Apple logo keeps popping up every 5 seconds. It restored only contacts and sms. I can access the phone but have to stop if logo pops

Hello khanhlinh98,
I would recommend performing the following steps in order to stabilize your iPhone.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup

Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup. How do I ensure I get all my photos etc onto new phone?
Thanks

If you're old phone that was repalced was a higher version of iOS, it wont be able to restore. Update your iPhone to the lastest iOS 7.0.4 and try to restore it then.

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?
