My backed up files on ipad

Hi,when u sync an ipad it creates a back up file.I synched my ipad last night and it created a back up mostly the files were Safari history so how can i view that on my computer? It was only safari history because i have not yet downloaded any apps and that on the back up there were only 43 files. Would those 43 files be web history? If you view a website and only cleared it on the browser not on the settings,when you synch the device would those website history still be backed up? What about photos can you still get them back when it is deleted,from you phone after restoring without backed up? I need all of my questions answered thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community Owen.
You can use yor back up to restore to a replacement device.
Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • Why can't I back up files from my iPad wirelessly to a wireless hard drive?

    Is There no way to back up files other then through a wire connected to your computer?

    You can backup your iPad to iCloud wirelessly. With certain wireless hard drives there are Apps to handle them.

  • Backing up files from the iPad

    I'm buying an iPad Retina tomorrow.
    I will be traveling with it shortly, and will be storing images from my camera to the iPad via a Lightning USB connector.
    Does this connector work the other way too?  I.E. can I attach an external USB key to the connector and copy files from the iPad to the key?
    btw, I do understand that I can backup using iCloud, and I will do that when I can, but uploading a day's worth of RAW files over a slow wifi isn't going to work.

    No, you're correct about wifi in Italia. It's almost always slow as heck but depends where you are. Traveled there twice since 2011, and lugged a 13" Black Macbook and external drive to back up photos in raw. Worked great but heavy. Some folks recommend the Seagate wireless external 1tb hard drive to back up files, but can't seem to verify it will handle RAW files in DNG or whichever format used.
    Others prefer the Nexus 7 Android tablet since it can connect to a portable hard drive via it's USB port and allow backup of files directly (as the iPad should be enabled to do). Not sure what Apple was thinking by depriving photographers of a critically important step in their work flow.
    I ordered a new Haswell/Intel Asus Chromebook which has built in SD card slot and USB 2 and 3 ports. You can plug in a hard drive and use the chrome book as a conduit by which you transfer camera files from the sd to the hard drive.  This, in a chrome book under $300-, and under 3 lbs. A great alternative to a way more expensive Macbook air.

    These are supposed to ship very soon but maybe not in time for your trip. I am only using it on such trips for email, web browsing, documents in google docs, and photo backup to external drives.

  • I received a replacement iPad. On my original iPad I had dozens of books and PDF's. I completely backed up my original iPad. The categories of my iBook files transferred but NOT the actual PDF and Books. Please help.

    Are the PDFs and ibooks on your computer's iTunes ? If so then you should be able to re-sync them, if not then you can re-download ibooks for free as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . The backup doesn't contain the contents of the ibooks app, so for them to be restored to the device they needed to be in your iTunes library.

  • Where can I find the iPad back up files on my PC?

    Where can I find the iPad back up files on my PC?

    Try "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup".
    If Moible Applications is inside iTunes instead of your media folder then you should consider using File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>".

  • How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

    I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1,  and installed Icloud.  This is where the problems all began.
    Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar  events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all.  Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
    If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere?  I just wanna go home !  Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

    Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
    Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
    As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one. 

  • How do I move GarageBand files from iPad 2 to New iPad?

    My laptop is a PC, not a Mac.
    At the Apple store I was told it was no problem. I merely back up my iPad 2 and then restore my New iPad (3) from that backup. So far it isn't working and I've tried several times.
    Weirdly, when I first set up my New iPad (3) iTunes set it up as the default "Steve's iPad" which is what I called my iPad 2 on iTunes, and  my GarageBand files appeared on my new IPad (3). So I know it's possible.
    HOWEVER, I hadn't backed up or synched my iPad 2 in a while, so my newer GarageBand files weren't on it.  So I backed up/synched my iPad 2 and then restored my New iPad to original settings, and clicked on "restore from Steve's iPad"  No luck. No GarageBand files. I tried this several times,with no luck.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Here is how you can export a .band folder to your iPhone, it should work for iPad as well.
    This was my steps
    1. Download iExplorer and install it. Connect your iPhone
    2. Find the folder "com.apple.mobilegarageband" in iExplorers browser
    3. Drag and drop your folder .band to the folder "Documents". (!! Your'e not done yet!)
    4. In GarageBand on your iPhone press the plus-button as you would start a new song. Choose "Copy from iTunes". Choose your imported song.
    5. Start rockin'

  • Undo deleted photo, how to recover a deleted file in iPad mini

  • How to find backed up files on iCloud?

    Apple is giving me a replacement iPad, so the guy at the Genius Bar told me to back all my files up so that I can get my exchange product without losing information. A ton of really important documents are on some Apps I purchased, on my iPad. I set up an iCloud account today, and I downloaded iCloud onto my PC, and I've pressed "backup" on my iPad (I turned everything "on", so I'm guessing this means all my apps/data will be backed up onto my computer). I'm still really confused though, so I have a few questions:
    a) Where is all of this data being saved onto my computer?
    b) Do I have access to, say, the Notes I've backed up off my iPad on my PC?
    c) I went to iCloud.com, but I see none of my actual files on my account. Is this normal?
    d) How to I move all my backed up files onto my new iPad?
    Thanks!

    A. The data is not being saved on your computer. It is being saved in iCloud - assuming that you did setup everything properly on the iPad and did create an iCloud backup.
    B. Yes. Log into iCloud.com using a web browser on your computer and you can access your notes.
    C. Yes it is normal. You cannot see the files themselves in iCloud.com unless you are using the Apple iWorks apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. All other data is backed up in the cloud but individual files are not visible.
    D. Restore from the iCloud backup that you created with the old iPad.

  • How to recover deleted back-up file(s) from iTunes?

    I'm needing to figure out a way to recover back-up files that iTunes removed during the recent install to the update 11.0.1.
    I went to back up my phone manually. (Which I've been doing for years) I've never used or enabled auto-sync. Before I start a back-up I re-name my phone in a format like this "iPhone0913" This is to eliminate any confusion. That iTunes might try to interpet as, a duplication of another back-up file. By it having the same name (Which I know it won't but I do it anyway) Before the installation of the new update. I had 8 back-up files all dated and in order with the name designation that I've proivded. For example: 1. iPhone0105 2, iPhone1106 etc. as the numeric designation is for the month and year. So Oct. 2005 was my oldest back up file.
    Once the installation/update took place, I plugged my phone in and clicked on back-up to this computer. All was moving along as it should, since this was only a back-up. Not a back-up and restore!! At any rate, I went through iTunes to verify that the back-up was there. (As I always do) And low and behold.. GONE!!
    The only back up that was showing, was the back-up of "iPhone0913"  I did'nt go into panic mode at that point. Thinking that maybe iTunes moved or maybe archive the back-ups. I was trying to remain optimistic, but I knew there was'nt much that could be down. But maybe, I'm missing something.. I was able to locate 4 of 8 back up files. Only because I had backed them up from another drive.
    I don't have Windows System Restore, enabled, So I was'nt able to recover that way. I'm still beside myself that this even took place.
    At this point, I'm looking for any recommendations, sympathy.
    Thanks in Advance for your help and support!

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I backed up my broken ipad, returned it to Apple got it replaced and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up.  how do I get previous copy of my back up??

    i backed up my broken ipad to my computer yesterday, returned it to Apple & got it replaced today and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up from yesterday.  Can anyone advise how do I get previous copy of my back up??

    Look at this knowledge base article on iOS backups to iTunes, note where the backups are kept for your type of computer, Windows or Mac, go to that Library location and see if there are any other files with the same name as the current backup but with a different extension and date/time stamp.  If so you can edit the extension of the current backup and then change the extension of the previous backup so it looks like what was on the current and the do a restore.  iTunes will think the older backup is now new and use it to restore.
    If there are no such files then you over-wrote the backup and it is gone.
