IPad 2 7.0.4 randomly goes back into first time setup

I have had my iPad 2 for 2 years now and I've been very happy with it, however last week I installed 7.0.4 and it forced my iPad to go into the first time setup (like what you see when you restore) and I lost all my settings, but I thought it was a one time thing the update wanted. Now, I picked it up and it wanted to go over the setup again, and again it deleted all my settings and apps. No one has touched it other than me, and the last time I used it was to listen to some music yesterday. The iPad had 75% battery when I picked it up and at no time did the battery die on it. This is very frustrating and it all started when I updated to 7.0.4.
Has anyone else see this and if so what can I do to stop it?

Back it up and restore it through iTunes.

How to go back to first time setup assistant?

Hi, 1st time mac user. I just missed to migrate my PC data to my MBA during the first time setup. As I wanted to keep my mails and it's setting from my PC to the initial mac user account, is restoring my MBA to it's factory setting the only way?
Please help!

Thanks! The url does offer excellent advice.
In the end, I did a clean install (factory default) and start all over again.
Since then, I've been pretty much disarray as I found out half of my outlook mails didn't get port over.

When I am on Safari, the page randomly goes back to the previous page I was on. This is really frustrating when I am writing something online because it does not save my work. Fix for this?

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

Hi, my iPad 2 keeps dropping out and going back to blank screen, I then have to enter my password again, start downloading or reading and it happens again. I have reset the iPad but it is still the same.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Mighty mouse randomly goes back a page in Safari???

So I have a 2 month old iMac which came with the very sleek and sexy new mighty mouse. As comfortable as it is, I want to throw out a window. It randomly goes back a page on me all the time (even once as I was writing this very topic!!) as if i had right-clicked and chosen back. But I didn't, I swear it! No menu ever shows, and I can never ever repeat it on purpose. Doesn't seem to happen in Firefox for some reason but I don't use it often and again, can't make the issue occur. I have lost so much written text and time to this and am about to go back to the previous magic mouse. I cannot figure out why this keeps happening. Also finding the mouse absurdly sensitive in general no matter how the settings are configured.
Is this happening to anyone else?? Any ideas why?? Thanks.
(sorry if this should be posted elsewhere but there's no section for accessories as far as I could see)

It's been 24 hours since I fixed the disk permissions and reset safari with no repeat incidents (fingers crossed)! Thanks so much! Seems so obvious but I was convinced it was the mouse itself. Thanks again

My iPad 2 goes back into recovery mode after restore is complete. I updated my iTunes to 12 before I attempted to restore.

I Hard reset my IPAD 2. It was showing connect to iTunes. I did and it prompted me to restore and update. It installed the software and said my iPad had been returned to factory settings and would restart but it never does. It just goes back into recovery mode and iTunes prompts me to restore again.

Yes but the apple logo won't appear. It just says connect to iTunes. When I do that it goes through the restore process again. Says it's been restored and my device will restart but it never does. Just goes back to the connect to iTunes screen.

I delete an individual message but the time I received the message is still showing next to the persons name in my inbox instead of going back into the correct date/time order. Anyone know how to fix this?

SOLUTION
Open "terminal" on your mac and type the following:
defaults write com.apple.mail IgnoreSortOrderWhenSelectingAfterDelete 1
(copy and past the whole line)
This will stop that behaviour in mail.
It works on most opperating systems.
mine is.

*Flash animation looping but going back to first frame {want to hold on last frame}

I came across this article on looping animations = http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-loop-three-times
I'm a novice with flash and just trying to plug thru to get some ads up and running for the first time.
Everything worked for me in the article...the one thing I wanted to do but haven't found an answer to is how to stop the animation on the last frame after looping is complete, instead of automatically going back to the first frame??
What's the easiest/most effective way to do this?
The stop script does not work...still goes back to first frame.
For all my flash ads, I've imported an FLV video...so don't know if it's some function for flv's/video's that auto-rewinds to first frame...
Thanks so much, really appreciate any insight on this.
The sooner you can catch a minute to get back the better

Ok...not working for me - prob. b/c I'm missing something again.
What I did was...
1) Renamed the instace of replay button = "replay_btn".
[not sure if that's correct...guessed b/c you reference it in the code]
2) I placed this in the action code on action layer on last keyframe =
var loopNum:Number;
loopNum++;
if(loopNum%3==0){
stop();
your_replay_btn._visible=true;
} else {
your_replay_btn._visible=false;
3) I placed this in action code on the replay layer on last keyframe =
your_replay_btn.onRelease=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
What happens is the replay button still flashes at the end of each loop and the loops just continue...it doesn't stop at 3.
I also get this error =
Can you break down what I'm doing wrong and how to fix...need to get this out asap.
I truly appreciate your help and time so far on this...big thanks kglad!

How can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc?

how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced - and then re-syncing.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

TS3899 When I'm reading my hotmail acct., the app will close randomly, going back to the main apps page. Also my e-mail accounts will disappear at random. I have to go to settings. go to each acct. re-click "done", I'm using a mini os 7.0.4

E-mail whether hotmail or g-mail, will blank out as I click on links within the mail. It goes back to the home screen. more and more often, the mail folders just vanish, and I have to go to settings and re-click "done" on each acct., even though all are filled in properly. started after I upgraded to 7.0.4

You can try to copy the text to the clipboard (Ctrl + A and Ctrl +C) if you need to refresh.

Video goes back to first image

Hello all
I have a prob with a video mpg4 that plays in the first page of my stack, i have added a jpg sequence to play automatically at the end of the video, to stop the video that play inside the page (1024/768)
It plays well
but as soon as i swipe down and navigate into the below page (read other video and scrollable text), then when I come back the first page of my stack the video has go back to its first image (rather than stay with the last image of the seuquence image)
I hope I am clear
I have try everything, even use a whole animation in jpg sequence (which is more heavy than a MPG4) but here again it goes back to the first image as soon as I navigate to the below page
Any idea?
BTW it works well in the desktop viewer

The problem here could be related to the MSO timing issues that are fixed in the Viewer Builder viewers but not in the store iPad viewer. If you can create a custom Adobe Content Viewer, it should work. Or, wait for the store viewer to be approved (any day now).
You might want to look at Keith Gilbert's article about stopping a video on the last image: http://blog.gilbertconsulting.com/2011/09/dps-stop-video-at-last-frame.html
