IPad disbled with no backup

I put a passcode on my iPad to keep the kids off of it without knowing that Apple designed it to become disabled after so many tries. She tried getting into it while I was at work. My pc crashed a few days before. I have a new install of itunes with no iPad backup. I'm not worried about lost data, I just want to get my iPad working again. I've tried the steps to put my iPad in recovery mode and do the download. It goes through the process, and then comes right back to the disabled message again. How do I get past this?

Try disabling your antivirus software and firewall before you try again. If that doesn't work, you can try DFU Mode. This talks about theniPhone but it works the same way on an iPad.

Can I start my new Ipad Mini with a backup of my Ipod touch 5 gen

I would like to play at the same level with my games purchase in the Appstore with my Ipod touch and have the same on my new Ipad mini retina

You can do that, presuming that the iPod all will play on the iPad. Not all apps are universal and scale up or play.
When I set up my iPad I transferred a lot of apps from my iPod.
The key to having them all at the same level is to set your iPad up from the backup of your iPod.

Ipad stuck with icloud backup window - unable to access account

My iPad is stuck with the icloud backup window showing.
Both the Ignore button and the Settings button are ignored (they blink when I touch them, but nothing happens).
I cannot power off. No other icons on the screen respond.
I plugged it in, but that did not change the symptoms.
The wi-fi is working just fine for all my wireless devices.
I have been hitting ignore to the icloud backup notice for some time now since I changed my Apple Password as I have nothing on the iPad that I wish to back up.
Now it is unusable and I need it this afternoon for my facetime with my daughter in Australia.
Help.
Jim

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignor the off slider if it appear. Then turn the iPad back on using the On button.
Not sure if this will resolve the issue, but shouldn't hurt.

I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but im getting this message "iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. then try again." How?

I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but i am getting this error message " iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. Then try agian." How do I do that?

It sounds like the iPad wasn't erased to me. If the iPad is totally cleared of content, there should be nothing on it and no backup to create.
Without connecting the iPad to your computer - Launch iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Prefences>Devices. Do you see an iPad backup in there? If you do see it, delete it.

I'm trying to update my ipad 2 with ios 5 and the backup is taking forever

I stopped it at 6 hours last night and the green bar was at about 5 mm.
When i do a normal sync the backup took only 5 minutes. I've managed to upgrade my iphone 4 (although that did take 2 hours). I'm using windows 7.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Try and reboot the iPad before you do the update. To do this just hold down the lock button for a few seconds and slide "power off" give it a min and hold the lock button down again to power back on.
After this is done connect to iTunes and try the update again with a backup.
Hope it helps.

Backup iPad Synched with Mac onto New iPad on a PC

Hey all,
I have the below setup
iPad synced with Mac (iPad 2 32gb - iMac Maverics)
This will be my new setup
New iPad Mini synced with PC
My question is this.. I have stuff I want to backup on my old iPad like notes / documents etc that I don't want to lose.. The music & photo's can obviously be transferred via usb to my Mac from my PC.. Can this be done or should I just back up the documents / notes manually and start from scratch?
Many thanks,
J

Hello ottomanempire,
Congratulations on your new iPad mini and computer! It sounds like you would like to transfer content from your current iPad to your new iPad mini, specifically your notes and documents.
I recommend following the steps in the article below to do this. This article outlines using iCloud or iTunes. You can do this using iTunes on either computer:
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

Additionally, if you would like your music and movies to sync to your new iPad mini from your new PC, I recommend using the following article to transfer your media to the new computer:

Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?

Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 (or even an ipad 3 if it ever gets released !) with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?
Thanks

You will be able to restore from the backup of the old iPad and then sync all of the other content but you may need to update a bunch of apps in order for them to work with iOS 5 - but yes - you can use that backup.

I restored my IPad Mini with an earlier backup in error

I restored my IPad Mini with an earlier backup in error, while trying to get my music to sync. Now ICloud has an old email address and asks for a password I have forgotten. My Itunes and Apstore has the correct Apple ID, how do I change the email address on the ICloud?

Restoring old versions of your Backup
Restoring backups of your iPhone takes just a few clicks, but iTunes often only shows your most recent backup as an option to restore from. If you ever want to restore your Older backups then you’ll need the assistance of Time Machine and Time Capsule.
If you’re not already backing up your system, you may want to utilize this incredible thin mini external hard drive. It has enough space to backup significant amounts of data and will work great in backing up your iPhone.
iTunes stores your backup files in a folder at this location: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/MobileSynce/Backup. In this folder will be an additional folder or two. These folders contain all the data on your iPhone settings.
If you want to restore your iPhone to a backup you created 3 months ago, navigate to the location listed above, select the folder and open Time Machine. Navigate back 3 months and then click restore.
After Time Machine has finished restoring your Backup Folder, follow the steps listed above to Restore your iPhone Backup.
While Time Machine is a great feature in OS X Leopard and above, I’ve personally had two external hard drives fail while being used for backups. Luckily, I had previously backed up online my data to keep things safe. Online Backup works great for restoring data, like your iPhone Backups and allows you to have extra piece of mind while keeping your data safe. Best of all, with companies like Mozy, online backup is cheap. I’ve used it to restore data and its quick, easy, and the software on the PC and Mac runs in the background without getting in the way. Check it out, back up your data, and be ready for the next time you need to restore your iPhone backups, even if Time Machine isn’t.

It doesn't matter if your TM backup is on a time Capsule or some other HDD, that's just a cheap ad plug!

Unable to Restore iPad Air With iPad 2 Backup

Hello All,
I just purchased an iPad Air 128Gb Wi-Fi version to replace my iPad 2 64 Gb Wi-Fi version. I tried to restore the iPad Air with the iPad 2 backup through iTunes, but each time it aborts with a message to effect that the iPad 2 backup is either corrupted or not compatible. I tried backing up the iPad 2 again and then restoring iPad Air with the newer backup - but get the same message.
The result of this is that it is trying to sync all my old Apps but without their data - i.e. no previous game saves and the like. It also is not maintaining the folder structure that I previously had on my iPad 2.
Is there some kind of compatibility problem with restoring from an iPad 2 backup? This seems strange since my iPad 2 is only 2 years old. I've seen that other people had similar problems but with different devices. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this problem trying to restore to an iPad Air from an older iPad backup, and how do you get around this problem?
Any help would be tremendously appreciated. I really need to get my old App data and App folder structure from the old iPad backup.
FYI, I made sure that both the iPad 2 and the iPad air are both using iOS 7.0.3 in case that matters.

New problem following up on the previous.
My iPad Air restoration from iPad 2 backup is not proceeding smoothly. Specifically, the Apps are taking forever to download - it's been 48 hours and I have yet to complete the download process. Granted, I had a 64gb ipad 2 but I'm using a cable internet connnection. Also, some of the Apps are being copied without preserving the folder structure from my iPad 2. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why this is happening.
I tried plugging my iPad Air into iTunes thinking it would reload the Apps faster, but this only results in one of the following situations each time I sync:
1) The iPad spends a long time syncing, specifically, it hangs on Step 6 without end. If allowed to go overnight, I will discover it the next morning still on step 6.
2) The iPad finishes syncing (per iTunes), but when I check the iPad, there are still Apps waiting to download.
3) The iPad syncs, but then it says that 20+ apps could not be copied because of insufficient free space. A look at the status bar shows that there is at least 14-20 Gb free on the iPad Air. (***?)
4) The iPad syncs, but the few Apps that do copy show up without the folder structure preserved from my iPad 2.
Now, the reason I didn't want to restore from an iCloud backup is to avoid the eternal restore process. I can't figure out why it's taking so long. I kept my iPad next to my wireless router, so I know it's not a router problem. My internet was working so that's not the problem. Now.... I would be happy to restore from an iTunes backup, but I was unable to do so in the first place - kept getting "file corrupted or incompatible" message, which is what prompted me to post in the first place.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

HT5661 will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

I have an iPad Model MD371LL/A that i'm selling. I will buy a new one as sonn it releases the new model.
Will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

Yes.
The only 'catch' you may encounter. Let's say your old one is running iOS 7.1.1, and your new one is running iOS 7.0.6, you will first need to update your new one to be running 7.1.1, then y ou can restore it from the backup of your old one and make it a near clone of the old one.
Chances are you won't encounter this, but there have been instances where folks get a broken ipad replaced and try to restore the new one from the backup of the old one and since the replacement is running an older iOS than the replaced one it doesn't work. In that case you set up the replacement long enough to update the iOS then restore it.
But, likely what will happen for you is what happened for me when I bought a new iPod Touch. I did a full backup of my old one then wiped it. Brought the new one home and during hte set up process I had a choice 'set up as new or restore from the backup of the old one'. I chose restore and my new one was a near clone of the old one. I still needed to set up wifi and enter a few passwords to websites, but the data and contents crossed over.
If you are selling your old one you may want to read this about wiping your device to make it usable by the buyer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

Apple Configurator not restoring new iPad 2 with backup

I've been using Apple Configurator to restore new, out-of-the-box iPads with a back up image in order to skip the registration process and bind them to Profile Manager. Now that iPads are coming with OS 6, it seems that it's causeing the iPads to fail restore and I have to set the iOS setting to Latest (used to be "No Change").
I've remade back ups, updated to Apple Configurator 1.2.1, and taken out the profiles, but it seems that no matter what I do I can't restore an iPad 2 with just a backup without installing the latest iOS. It takes 4-5 times longer for each iPad and really slows down my deployment.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

What if you get the "iPhone couldn't restore due to corruption"? That might be because of a difference in the iOS or simple because the previous backup process wasn't fully successful. Then I might recommend you to take a look at the iPhone Backup Extractor. Also I would love to see you picking up such a subject, how we can deal with corrupt backups. Cheers!

If you are unable to cancel or power down, try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
