My daughter updated my iPad. Somewhere from 7.03 to 7.04

I guess she updated it from 7.03 to 7.04 not really sure. now it's telling us to set up the ipad. this is an ipad we've had for years.
it say hello...please slide to set up. I try to slide it and then it goes to another language.
i also get the screen that has the password. It doesn't read my password it just repeats the numbers.
how do I get the ipad to the settings we had two days ago??

Sounds like the iPad has been restored rather than updated. In other words, put back to factory default. Assuming your iPad has been backed up and synced regularly using iTunes all you need do is restore from your iTunes backup. Use the USB cable to connect to your computer. Launch iTunes and restore.

    If you are on 4.3.5 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes. What happens when you try, do you get any errors, have you got the latest iTunes on your computer ?

  • After updating my iPad 3 from iOS 7.0.6 to 7.1 I can't do anything.  It constantly reboots while trying to restore backup.  Epic Fail!

    My attempts to update my ipad 3 to IOS 7.1 via iTunes on my Mac Pro has essentially bricked it.  I carefully made a backup before doing the update but its of little use.  The iPad installs the firmware update and reboots and asks about the backup to restore and begins the sync.  But, it reboots about 20 times while trying to restore the beast. 
    It is a 64 gb ipad and was pretty full so retrying to restore from backup is taking 6 hours each time.  Maddening!
    I've spent months setting it up.  The thought of restoring as NEW is so depressing.
    The initial attempt I did over night was just unusable this morning.  I couldn't get past the Apple Logo.  I finally gave up and put it into recovery mode and redid it a second time.  It must have rebooted 20 times while copying all the apps and media back.  It made it but was then useless again after being disconnected from the Mac.
    I then tried once again and aborted it after it was rebooting again constantly during the restore from backup. 
    It seems to be OK thru the firmware install but it can't seem to use my backup.  I'm going to try and restore as NEW just to see if it will work at all.  At that point maybe I'll try and manually restore the backup so I don't lose all that organization.
    Anyone got any better ideas?  I'm refusing to thing about "upgrading" my iphone 5 until I see how this comes out....
    goose

    Slone,
    I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity.  After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new.  I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad!  This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
    I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used.  Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
    Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
    I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup.  I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
    Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware.  I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like.  Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
    Good luck!

  • Unable to update my Ipad 2 from version 7.1

    I have not been able to update from IOS 7.1, I originally tried to do it using WIFI, (also have Ipad mini this did it no problem).  Last week I received IOS 8.1 for loading (bearing in mind that I have tried unsuccessfully to load everything in between).  So I decided to try to do it via ITunes, after checking that I have the most recent ITunes loaded, I proceeded to follow the instructions.
    When I connected the ipad to my PC, It prompted me to upload the newer version, so I just clicked on this.  and the bar at the top of the screen said that it would take 8 hours (even though we have a reasonably fast broadband system).  So I left it going, Needless to say it did not work.
    I have tried all of the following on both my desktop which runs on windows 8.1, and also my laptop which runs on windows vista
    I have read various responses within the community area and have tried the following
    1. Removed  ITunes and reinstalled
    2. Found the old backup file (in users/appdata/roaming/applecomputer/mobilesync/backup)on the computer and removed this from this area (both pc's state that this Ipad has not been backed up onto this computer, if that's the case, why is the backup file in place?
    3.  Gone into store and made sure that the PC is authorised and re-entered this info.
    4.  Transferred purchased apps to my iTunes library
    5.  Shut down and rebooted both Ipad and PC
    6.  Removed screen saver on computers and ipads, so that it does not cause the process to stall
    We have no problem in carrying out a backup to icloud
    Rather than try to run the full upload again I have just been trying to carry out a backup to PC, but despite doing each of the above at a different time, I have still not been able to succeed.
    The only thing that I have not yet done, and I am seriously considering is to reset my ipad.  But even if I do, surely it will still try to do a backup to the computer, prior to it loading IOS 8.1

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

  • HT4972 I'm trying to update my iPad 2 from 4.3.5 to the 5 but I keep getting error message ineligible for upgrade. Please help want to update.

    Trying to update iPad 2 from 4.3.5 to 5.1.1, however I'm getting a message that states ineligible for update

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    You can download apps again for free from the app store via the purchased tab at the bottom of the screen in the app store app. You must use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with.
    Are the apps still in iTunes on your computer? If they are - sync them back onto the iPad.

    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT4559 Will I lose my apps when I update my iPad software from 4.3.2 to ios5?

    I cannot join the cloud until I update my software but there is a warning about losing apps, etc, for versions less than 4.3.3 when updating to ios5.  Anyone know more about this?

    You backup to iTunes. You have to use your computer in order to update so I assume that you are using iTunes.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

  • I can't update my iPad 1 from a downloaded iOS 5 download

    I own an iPad 1 running on OS 4.3. I have been trying to update directly fromiTunes without luck because the downloadlink breaks up during the update as aresult of internet instability. I thereafter downloaded the file " iPad1,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw" using Download Accelerator Manager DAP 9.7 on Windows 7. An attempt at using this file on MacBook gives error "You are not qualified for this update". Meanwhile I checked the update status of my Mackboo, it says there are no available update for my Mac. My iTunes is also the newest version.
    How do I use the downloaded file to update my iPad and also the one for iPhone 4.

    Are you sure that you have downloaded the correct file to upgrade your model of iPad 1? How are you trying to use the file? Why are you intermixing Windows and Mac OS X? Which playform do you actually use to manage your iPad?

    When ever I try to update my iPad iTunes tells me that my iPad is not eleigible for the requested build. I have deleted the iOS firmware file and re downloaded it using the version of iTunes that was released yesterday but still no dice. How can I go about updating my device?

    Make sure that you have backed up the iPad and then reset it to factory settings. It should do this with the most recent version of the iOS. Afterward resync.

  • I updated my ipad 2 from 4.3.3 to 5.1.1 and unable to do so. now, the ipad is not responding and indicates no capacity, software and serial number. As such, unable to restore device. Any advice/assistance will be appreciated.

    I updated my ipad 2 OS4.3.3 to 5.1.1 recently. Unfortunately, was not able to restore the device. I seem to have lost the ipad's info like: Name, Capacity, Serial Number and Software Version in the process. Despite repeated attempts, the device displays error messages to account for not being able to update and restore the same. Any advice/assistance will be much appreciated.

    Try DFU mode (Google is your friend, here is a link to one way:
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034)
    If that does not restore your iPad, contact Apple or your local
    Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    Your iPad wasn't jailbroken previous to the upgrade, was it?
    Jailbreaking can cause instability and other problems with
    upgrades.
