Ipad air setup via icloud restore - can't finish

Hi all
I've got new Ipad Air and yesterday I started restore from icloud. Source was Ipad mini backup. After 3 hours more or less all apps were there, I had some mixup in newsstand but nothing serious. Everything seems to be working, yet in the settings it still says 'restoring' and won't let me install ios 7.0.6 update.
Is there any way to tell what is still not restored?
thanks
Chris

The restore may have finished and a restart might fix everything, so I would start off simply by restarting or resetting your iPad and see what happens. If the restore didn't finish, you might have to start all over again by erasing the device and restoring the backup again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start

Welcome to the Apple Community Xena1940.
When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.

I stream Internet radio from my iPad air to Bluetooth speaker. Can anyone suggest the best EQ app to use to enhance the sound. Thanks

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. Thoughts?

Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
Empty Camera Roll.
Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.

I have on my MacBook both iPhoto and Aperture and want to purchase iPhoto for iPad. If I do so, will I be able to see all my MacBook iPhoto progress (places, faces, events, etc) on the iPad app ? Via icloud or some other feature tht work like PhotoStream?

just some notes in addition to Ralphs answer: Your iPad is very useful to browse and show off your photos, i.e. the Retina iPad. You can sync to the iPad via iTunes or using the Photo Stream or a shared Photo Stream. But if you can browse and store all your photos on the iPad, will depend on the available storage on your iPad. Using iTunes you can sync events, albums, faces stacks, places stacks to your iPad. Not many metadata tags will transfer however.
See the iPhoto help on what iPhoto can actually do:

Okay, this is interesting, because I was under the impression that FOR IOS DEVICES, contacts are NOT included in a backup, since they are already on icloud (in the contact database). And since you erased the contacts, then they are gone for good. One recommendation I've read about is, assuming you have a computer like a Mac also connected to the same icloud account, you can get the contacts back from a backup of the computer, like Time Machine. However, I don't know where you'd look for that file or files (even though the contacts are stored centrally on icloud, I'm guessing they are also stored locally in a cache file).
I think another suggestion made here (IIRC) is to turn off syncing of contacts (on the device), then do a restore. Since there's no sync, icloud's empty contact database will not overwrite the local contacts on the deviced. Again, I may not be remembering correctly. Some of these older posts about this same problem were some time ago.
I'd welcome anyone who really knows the details on this to add to the discussion here. This is an issue faced by many posters.

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud, but they are not sharing the information between devices ie if I purchase an app on one it does not transfer to the other although the backup is successful via iCloud.

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.

Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices. Go to
Settings>Store. Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
Settings>iCloud. Turn on the features you want to sync between devices.

I lost my Ipad Air without using icloud before. I can't locate.

I lost my Ipad Air i don't have icloud account before. i would like to know what i can do?

If you didn't have Settings > iCloud > Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://www.icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone app on another iOS device.
You've reported it to the police in case anyone finds it and hands it in ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and you should also contact your carrier.

Can i download music from my laptop to ipad air without using icloud

my laptop uses windows xp, and not windows 7 or 8 which, apparently i? thanks

You can use it on XP, as long as you have service pack 3+ on it - from http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/specs/ :
PC: Windows 8; Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
You also need iTunes 11.1+ installed on your computer.
To sync music, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select which of your iTunes music library to sync to it.

Pictures don't upload onto my macbook air from ipad and iphone via icloud

The pictures I take on Iphone and Ipad often just don't transfer to my macbook air via Icloud. Some do, some don't, its very
inconsistent - some just never upload.
Any ideas? I think that all the settings on all machines are correct..! :-)
thanks,
Russell

Hi Russell,
I'm assuming you have iCloud activated on your Mac. Try signing out & then logging back in on your Mac. Are you using Photostream within iPhoto or Aperture...or both?

Can I transfer photos from a pc to an SD card and then move the photos to iPad Air 2 via lightning reader

I would like to transfer photos from a PC to an iPad Air 2. I would like to avoid iTunes if possible. I have been told that if I put my photos on an SD card i can use a "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader" to read the photos on my iPad and then copy them to the iPad. When I try this the iPad 2 brings up my photo app but does not show any of the photos on the SD card. Am I doing something wrong or is this not a working solution to the transfer of photos?

You have to trick the iPad into thinking those photos are off a camera
Make a folder named DCIM on the SD card.
Put your photos into that folder.
All photos must have a file name of 8 characters....DSC_2345.jpg for example
You're basically mimicking the file structure a digital camera uses.

Over the Air Deployment with iCloud Restore

Most of my devices are unsupervised, I plan on taking the summer to Restore all the devices and then using a MDM to redepoloy them to the users in the fall using iCloud Restore.
My pilot case has hit a snag, If I create and icloud backup then restore the device with iTunes. I can initiate the OTA enrollment but it will not install any configuration profiles if I use the icloud restore. If I use new ipad or if I restore to a different devcie it works fine.
How to I get this to work so my students can use the restore feature and still get their original device back?
thanks

I'd be careful with access to find my iPhone
if users use their personal account with find my iPhone and iOS 7
You wont be able to restore without the users iTunes account login and password
Presuming your mdm solution has some sort of web based user portal.You might have to get the students to re enrol the device themselves if the device has been wiped, and a iCloud restore has been performed.
That should re install the certs and whatever profiles you have setup, you'd also have to have some sort of firewalled
provisioning wifi the students could access from the ipad to allow them to access the MDM for device re enrolment

IPAD AIR - Lost and Stolen. Can the thief use my locked device?

MY iPad Air was lost/stolen while crossing the border between Hong Kong and Lowu (Shenzhen).
The device is locked. Under the support/my devices it shows that my iPad is registered with Apple and I do have the serial number for the device handy.
I tried to use "FIND MY IPHONE" and the device does not show up. It is possible I did not activate that function although this is unlikely.
Can the thief use my device by erasing all the data? Can Apple trace the device and if so, who do I report it to at Apple ?
Please help.

Thanks for your reply.
I also read somewhere that in the event I use the remote function via iCloud to delete the contents of the iPad, the thief could then use it. I have no intention of doing this.
I have just secured myself for now and changed all my passwords including the Apple user ID one.
I guess my best bet would be to report and register the number to the local authorities in case it gets returned / shows up by some good samaritan ?

My ipad air won't complete restore from cloud. Any ideas?

Just purchased iPad Air and restored from iCloud. It appears stuck now for a couple days and it won't let me update the iOS until it finish's. Any ideas on what it is? I have very few photos so I do not know what the problem is. I have sync'd with itunes for my videos so I don't see that being an issue.

You restored what from iCloud? The backup of a previous iPad?
Are you using wifi?
Reboot the iPad, turn off wifi and use iTunes to update and restore.
