IPad upgrading to iPad2- all messages lost after restore.

I couldn't find this anywhere, but I thought I saw someone talking about it a couple of weeks ago.
I have an iPad and just got my new iPad2.
The 'restore' worked just fine, but all the messages I had on Mail are gone.
Anyway to get them back?
Most are still on my Mail application on my Mac, but it was handy having them there.
(using POP, not IMAP)
sorry for any reposting.

From what I u dear stand there is no way to get them back on the iPad.

All Data Lost after upgrade

Was wondering if someone could help out...
So I get a call late last night from my mom, she's upgraded her boyfriend's phone on her Windows Vista PC using iTunes. Although, it's upgraded, but deleted ALL data from the phone.
The phone doesn't appear in 'My Devices', nor does it appear in the option to 'restore from'... however, there DOES appear to be a file in the backup location (after a LONG time trying to find it on Vista) that appears to have been last modified at the time of data loss - I am presuming this will be the backup file from the boyfriends phone.
So - how can she go about restoring all the data back to the iPhone?
I hope this makes sense, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same problem. Tried to update, but phone got stuck in the "syncing" phase after backing up and updating the OS (it never went past the first of three steps to sync). Restoring the phone to its factory condition gives me a shiny new, fully-functional phone with absolutely nothing in it. No photos, no text messages, no contacts, no calendar. Some of these items can be restored because they live in the .mac cloud, but the photos and text messages cannot.
Before the software updated, iTunes made a backup of the current state of the phone. I've tried everything under the sun to restore the phone to this particular backup, but it doesn't finish the process. This backup lives in the ~/Library/Application Support /MobileSync/Backup/ folder.
Now, your post provides a solution, but I'm afraid I don't understand what it means. Should I move the backup to ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Backups/Structured and try again? Or should I move something from ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Backups/Structured into ~/Library/Application Support /MobileSync/Backup/? As of now, the only thing within that Structured folder is a status.plist file.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

IPad Mail not loading all message from Yahoo mail after installing iOS5

Yesterday I had Mail (on my iPad 1) set up for my wife and I (to retrieve Yahoo mail) while still under iOS 4.3.3 and it worked perfectly! ! !
Last night the iPad installed iOS5. Now on my wife's Mail, it shows 2 emails and asks to "Load More Messages. . ." 19 total, 4 unread". I tap the sentences, it act like it is going to do it but nothing. No change.
I have deleted the the Mail settings, powered OFF the iPad, relaunched it and the added the Yahoo mail account information all over again. I have done this 3 times but nothing has changed. Mail still won't retrieve all the Yahoo emails.
Please help!
Thanks,
John

I would try changing the Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: setting to After one day instead. You may think this is weird, because it can only make the problem worse, right? Well, maybe not.
Maybe what is happening is that Mail encounters connection problems from time to time that prevent it from deleting certain messages right after being downloaded, and it doesn't try again after that. By telling Mail to remove the messages after some time, you're telling it to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded and must be removed. Mail will look for messages to be removed from the server each time it connects to it for downloading new messages. If it cannot remove them for some reason, it will try again at the next connection attempt...

All iPad photos saved locally lost after restore

Hi,
My (original v1) iPad started acting up so I decided to do a full restore via iTunes. Before proceeding I backed up / synced to my Macbook Pro. After restore iPad was wiped as expected, I then did a restore from my last iTunes backup. It came up with a "Backup corrupted or wrong version" but then proceeded to restore anyway, so all music, apps etc. were restored successfully.
However all Photos I saved locally on the iPad by holding down / Save Photo or doing Home / Lock button frame grabs have disappeared. I can't seem to find any specific option within iTunes that refer to these pictures. Photostream was disabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Her Apple ID and iCloud ID got out of sync due to an email change.
Was the original problem that her device was signed into an old iCloud ID that had since been updated to a new email address, and as a result you were unable to access (sync) that data in the existing account?

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, laptop had to be restored b4 I backed up iPad or saved iTunes library. How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".
Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
Thanks

This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

ALL messages deleted after IoS 6 Update

I backed up my 4s to my mac, and proceded to Update the software, after that I then restored it with the backup i just did.. I go into my phone and all messages are GONE.. Contacts, pictures still there. Can anyone help with this problem??

I have the same problem - after restoring TWICE, everything is there BUT the messages/iMessages/texts are not there - I am very disappointed as I have 3 years worth of messages there. I suspect that they are still there inside the phone (as it shows that I have 6gb of stuff - I worked out which apps etc accounts for at least 3gb but the other 2gb, I believe it's the Messages itself.
Apple: can you PLEASE advise us?

All messages deleted after reboot(N96)

I was playing music in the background and as occasionally happens the phone reboots when using the music player.
This time I was writing a SMS when the phone rebooted. When it had completed rebooting all messages were gone. Recieved/sent/saved messages. Only thing left were the delivery reports....
anyone else experienced this? and is it possible to get the messages back?
Phone: N96
No update available yet.

All data lost after downgrade

Hi!
I have a 3G and used an online tutorial to downgrade the firmware to 3.1.3, because it was annoyingly slow.
I had done a backup before that I restored, but all my apps were gone, which didn't bother me that much, but all my contacts, text messages and photos are gone as well! Is there ANY way to recover them? I really really really need them.
-Lara

This is one reason why downgrading is not supported by Apple. The only suggestion I can think of is to re-upgrade to 4.1 and then try restoring your backup. Make sure you don't create any new backups of your current state since they might overwrite your existing (good) backup. 4.1 is supposed to fix the slowdown issues reported on the 3G.

Ipad 2 is asking for apple id after restoring

I work for a school and we handed out several ipad 2 ,3 and airs over the years. It has come to my attention that I cannot go into recovery mode and restore an ipad any longer with out it asking for an apple id after restored. The problem is that several if not all are asking for staffs own apple ids. Is their a way to change this or can apple change this for me. Our school has purchased all of these from apple. The other big question is how did their ID become paired up with that ipad?

Hi bgs47,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like iPads that have been restored are prompting for the previous user's Apple ID. This feature is called Activation Lock, and occurs when the user has signed in to the device with their iCloud account and turned on Find my iPhone:
With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen.
With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Sign out of iCloud on your device
Erase and reactivate your device
From:
iCloud: Activation Lock
If the user is not available to enter their information into the device, they can remove it from their iCloud account by following these steps:
Contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed. It should show a gray dot or the word “Offline” next to the device name.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from their account.
After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.
You can find these steps and more information about Activation Lock here:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

IPAD resetting itself and will not activate after restore

Hi
I got an iPAD 3G+WIFI just over a month ago and everything was working fine. all of a sudden it just started resetting itself. I got a message on screen saying I should restore the iPAD and a strange error saying "iPhone cannot call" (or something like that) so I connected to iTunes, backup, and restored. The problem is that after restore the iPAD won't activate and iTunes puts up an error saying "We're sorry, iPAD is damaged. Please take to the closest Apple store". (I tried all sorts of forced restart and restore that I found in various forums but it just won't activate)
Now...the additional problem... I got this as a gift from the US, but I live in Malta (Europe) and the closest Apple store is basically in another country!! The local Apple agent isn't licensed for servicing iPADs yet.
1. Can this be solved via software?
2. Is it possible to ship back via post?
Thanks

I sounds like a hardware problem to me. I suspect you can send it back but first your typically need and RMA number which you get from Apple. Have you asked the locale store of how to send it back? Since it seem that it is within the 90 day free telephone support period you should be able to call Apple in the USA for shipping instruction. Go to the USA Apple site to find contact information.

All data lost after upgrade to 4.2.1

Hi all,
I have a 3G (possibly 3G s?) and I finally got around to upgrading to ios 4.
Synced with itunes beforehand, which I thought would have backed everything up, but all photos, contacts, messages etc have disappeared. It also wiped all my music and apps, however these are still in itunes, so I guess I can get them back relatively easily.
Any advice on how to recover SMS, contacts and photos would be hugely appreciated. This has not been a happy new year...
Cheers

All data lost after upgrading

I lost all data after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4. I was able to recover only the information that syncs with mobileme, everything else was gone, in all apps: bank accounts, passwords, notes, games, settings, etc -everything
I already restored and restarted, even used time machine, nothing seems to work. Any help?

I am trying to update to the newest software, and get a warning that i need to save/transfer new purchases to my library. I know the last time i did this update i went with continue, and as the others in the posting have indicated lost information. It didnt matter to me at that time, but now that I have more info to lose, i dont want to do it, so the other option on it is to do as it asks. But, I am having a hard time doing that. I have done what they have asked by going to file and transferring, but, it doesnt seem to be working. As i continue to get the same warning. I am not going to update this till i get the answer to do it properly this time. But, want to know why it doesnt want to transfer the info that it requires, for me to continue on. I think this is why the others in the thread are losing their info.
