IO6 upgrade wiped out my Ipad

I upgraded my Ipad 2 to the iO6 operating system. It has totally wiped by Ipad. All I get is the Itunes logo and a picture of the cable. I am an educator and use this daily. HELP!

You need to restore your iPad now. Connect the device to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading and then click on the Summary tab on the right side of the iTunes Window. Click on Restore and follow the prompts. If you backup the iPad (if you are an educator, you should be backing up), you can restore from a backup at the end of the restore process.
If iTunes is not recognizing your iPad, you will need recovery mode.

After it restores, restore from backup:

HT5568 The last upgrade wiped out all my apps. Will the IOS6.0.1 do the same?

The last iPod upgrade wiped out all my apps. Will the IOS6.0.1 do the same?

If you update via iTunes and synced media like apps and music are not in your iTunes library they will be lost.
You can always redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

New update wiped out my Ipad 2

I just connected my Ipad 2 to my Macbook for the first time in a while, and it said there was a new Ipad update, so I agreed to install.
It appears to have wiped out everything on my Ipad, and won't recognize Itunes on the Macbook for restoring things.
Anyone know what happened and how to get my Ipad back?
Thanks

If all of the content is in your iTunes library on the Mac - you should be able to sync and put all of that content back onto the device. First you have to solve the recognition problem.
Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.
iOS Device not Recognized in Mac OS X
If you are running Snow Leopard 10.6 ....
Device not recognized after a restart
If either site gives you a "We're Sorry" error message - just reload the web page. The sites do work.

IOS 5 upgrade wiped out my Pocketbook data. Can it be recovered?

What happened to my data? Do I have to start from scratch? It also wiped out my levels on Angry Birds and other games, and cleared my books.

If theyare not already on your computer's iTunes, then if you download them onto it you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

ITunes erased my library to force me to subscribe to Cloud, and Cloud wiped out my iPad twice. Anyone w/same prob?

iTunes took back my entire library to force me to subscribe to Cloud, but now it will not re-download all of my purchases, and the Cloud also seems to want to wipe my iPad (has done it twice). 2 hours on the phone with Apple no help. Anyone w/same prob?

I guess I should have been more clear. One morning (5 days ago now) we realized that our complete itunes library was gone--all media (music, shows, movies, podcasts) was gone and could not be located on our hard drive. When I went onto itunes under the "help" section there was a comment that you could upgrade your itunes to Cloud and then access all your purchases and either re-download them or play them from the itunes page. So, I upgraded itunes and went about accessing all my purchases(thousands of dollars worth of media--so you can imagine my stress). Meanwhile, my husband was at work with his ipad and realized that everything was gone--all his apps, music, even apps for work that were downloaded at his work. Completely gone. I told him that I had found everything on Cloud and that he could probably just re-download everything when he got home but we both agreed it was weird. When he got home he noted that only about 1/3rd of our purchases were available on the Cloud website--all of my son's shows were still not there and many albums that we had bought over the last year were still missing. My husband called Apple yesterday and spent two hours on the phone with them. He said it was all very mysterious as they would not admit or deny anything and he said that he spoke with several people that were very ambiguous about what had happened and were careful about what they said. They agreed to re-release to us all of the media that we could not access on Cloud, but that they could not provide us with media that had copyright expired. They basically said it was our fault for not backing everything up on a separate system. While we explained that we do have a back up hard drive, we don't back up every time we make a purchase--so we haven't done so for several months. Then, this morning my husband was on his ipad and a message popped up that froze the ipad and it said that he needed to sync into itunes. He did so and then when he went back to unplug to go to work he realized everything was gone again! All his apps, music, everything. He was so upset because he saw no reason why this keeps happening.....Any thoughts??

3.12 Upgrade Wiped Out All Media Content, Left Apps

After being denied too many apps in the App Store b/c they required the new OS, I finally upgraded to 3.12 late last night. It took a while but the upgrade went smoothly. Before disconnecting the Touch from iTunes I verified that all the content (music, videos, etc.) were still there and that the space available was around 1GB.
Turned on the Touch this morning and ALL my music and videos are gone. Apps all still work fine, as does WiFi. Checked in Settings on the Touch and it says I have only 1GB space remaining. So it's as if the music/videos are still there but they are nowhere to be found. I'm on a trip for the holiday and can't resync with my computer; tried hard restart and nada.

I upgraded over the weekend and had the exact same thing happen to me. I lost months worth of data from my Goodnotes app. Very upset and I can't believe that it isn't stored somewhere. I followed all the prompts. Yes I should have been backing up but I had a similar issue with my iphone where I tried to upgrade and lost all my data so I was hesitant upgrading my ipad. I though no way it could happen twice. Boy was I wrong. Please let me know if you find any help on this issue.

HELP! Today's upgrade wiped out patient data! PLEASE HELP!

Please help... installed whatever was "new" today... just went to iCal to check my patients for tomorrow and... it's all gone!
The "new" iCal is arranged differently too... on my "calendars" I now have at least 2 if not 3 of every calendar I've ever created (yet none of them have the lost data). Have tried going back to IMPORT and/or RESTORE data and... it either hangs up or there's nothing to select (it's grayed out and the CHOOSE button never illuminates).
As a practicing psychologist I've now lost ALL my patient information, past and present! PLEASE HELP!
Thanks.
Dr. Peterson

Hope this helps. (and always have a backup file ready for a pull of any archived library files if any data is lost on an upgrade)

SW upgrade wiped out my iTunes library and also now iTunes will not launch

I just completed the recommended Sw upgrade for iTunes and now iTunes will not launch and my iTunes library is TOTALLY EMPTY.
Clearly, I am NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. I have lost a substantial investment of $$ and time in losing my iTunes library - so Apple should be paying me for my loss.
I need help, can you, will you help me? I want my iTunes library back and I'd like to reinstall the previous version of iTunes, because it worked fine.

You don't say which versions so we don't know to which version you wish to revert. Reverting won't get back your library anyway, if it is truly gone.
Have you checked if your library is truly gone? Have you looked in the iTunes folder and the media folder inside of it? The library has two main components, all the media files for the individual tracks and the iTunes Library.itl file which give them the structure you see in iTunes. Sometimes iTunes just loses track of the library file which can be re-linked, and what's really important anyway are the media files.
If the library is truly gone you can restore it from the backups you make of your computer. Backups are a responsibility of any computer owner ever since computers were invented. If you don't have backups then it may be possible to redownload items purchased from the iTunes Store.
I know I have glossed over some of this but it's not worth going into details on how to do all the different things until we know precisely what it is that needs doing.

HT201269 How do I delete everything off iPhone without wiping out my iPad

I'm returning my iPhone today and want to delete my info. But everything I delete on iPhone deletes my iPad also. How do I save my iPad from this process?

Turn off iMessage and facetime. Then Settings>General>Resets>Erase All Content and Settings. (on the phone of course)

IPhone upgrade wiped out all purchased apps...help!!

hi, I just downloaded and installed the new IOS to my iPhone. The download has wiped all of my purchased apps. I've managed to get one or two of them back, but the most expensive one, which I purchased outside of the UK, is nowhere to be found. It's not on my purchased apps section in iTunes, and when I signed in it said something about the account only being valid for the UK. Doesn't that seem a little draconian to be an excuse to delete the apps I purchased in Australia?
Anyone got any advice on how to get it back?
Cheers

did you find a solution to this? same thing happened to me last night. a couple of apps are there. everything else is gone (free and paid)...sickening. I'm not a techie at all...when first plugged in my phone the screens showed all apps but only like a shadow... but only those two apps were "there"...so when it did the "backup" it just grabbed those two. now thats all I have. Does the app store have a history of purchases/downloads? Having trouble with all apple "helps" ...I mistakenly always thought "sinc" meant that it was backing up my phone data to my computer. NOW I have ICloud , but NOW I have pretty much nothing left on the phone to be backed up. Oh yeah, it's still a phone.

Had iPad and just added iPhone. iCloud offered to sync my calendars but it wiped out all my data that was on my iPad! Can I get it back?

Have ipad2 & just added iphone5. iCloud offered to sync my calendars but it took blank iPhone calendar as default and wiped out my iPad calendar with my "life" on it! Can I recover the lost info?

If you backed it up to your computer using iTunes, restoring to the backup should recover it. (Apple's documentation isn't clear about whether or nott an iCloud backup includes your calendar events but it may.)

IMac and iPad sync with cloud no problems, iTouch with OSi4.2.1 is now wiped out, how do I sync contacts and mail?

I am not a happy mac user at the moment. I have a new ipad OSi 5.0 works fine with my two Lion systems. I have an iPod touch with OSi 4.2.1 I was trying to sync my calender, mail and contacts. It did the mail and calender but it wiped out my contacts. I not only want them back, I want them synced with the other systems. I should not have to buy a new touch to get this to work!
I would be happy to upgrade the OSi if it was an option!

You can't actually delete an iCloud account but you can remove it by signing out at System Preferences>iCloud if it is the promary account, or in Mail, Contacts & Calendars if the secondary, and then juste ignore it.
The Blackeberry can only sync with data held under 'On My Mac'. iCloud can only sync with data under 'iCloud'.
When you set up iCloud your calendars and contacts were moved to the iCloud server. If you want to use Blackberry you will have to move them back to 'On My Mac' and not sync with iCloud: it's one or the other.
To move calendars, follow the second set of numbered instructions here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
To move contacts, File>Export as vCard when you have selected all your contacts, then delete the contacts under iCloud, make 'On My Mac' the default and reimport the vCard.

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??
