My friend downloaded iOS 5 to his iPad from my computer and all of my info including email went onto his iPad. How do I get it off his iPad and restore his stuff back on?
I was trying to download iOS 5 onto my friends iPad using my computer and all of my info including emails etc. synced onto his and erased all of his stuff. How can I get my stuff off of his iPad using my computer (he doesn't have one) and restore his apps etc?
If he doesn't have a computer and had no backup for his iPad he may be SOL. The entire time that the iPad has been on the market it was designed to be used in conjunction with a computer and iTunes - where all of the content should have been stored. The update to iOS 5 changes that now, but if your friend did not have a backup on a computer he may be out of luck with regard to app data, documents, settings, some saved photos, notes, calendar entries and more.
He can download all purchased content again as long as he uses the same Apple ID that he used to buy the content originally. You can also see if iTunes created a backup of his iPad contents on your computer from which you can restore his iPad. He will still have to download all apps, books, TV Shows, and music again. If he bought any movies, he will have to buy those again, they are not available as free downloads.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Prefernces>Devices and see if there is a backup of his iPad on your computer and start there.
But for the most part, your friend will have to start all over again - erasing all of your content - downloading all of his content - and then setting his iPad up again from scratch.

You need to restore the device.

If you are concerned about losing your iTunes purchases, you can re download without being charged again.

I need help restoring all of my pictures and infor to my phone. My ex boyfriend info started downloading on my phone and earsed all of my info
Mission accomplished. While waiting for your reply,. I found an article that mentioned a copy/paste of the following code from the old pref.js to the new pref.js:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo.position", 0);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.description", "Outlook Express Address Book");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.dirType", 2);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.filename", "impab-1.mab");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.description", "Outlook Express Address Book");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.dirType", 2);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.filename", "impab.mab");
That identified the impab.mab file, and now all my contacts are showing.
Here is a link to the article: http://nctritech.com/thunderbird_contact_groups.php
Case closed. Thanks everyone for all your help.

all I downloaded was the preview. How do I fix this?
Other people have been having similar problems over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting them from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link. -
HT4623 HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD IOS 7 TO MY PHONE USING A COMPUTER TO MAKE IT FASTER
How can i download ios 7 to my iphone from a computer to save time?
Just for the sake of balance, I'm quite satisfied with iOS 7 and now that I've gotten used to the new look like it better than iOS 6. But definitely look at all the images of the new look and the lists of the changes before you upgrade to make sure you know what you'll be getting, since once you upgrade there's no going back.

Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.
When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

I synched my son's new IPOD touch up to my computer and it downloaded all of my photos app. 4000 of them to his Ipod. When you open one, there is no delete button. How do I get them off of his device? Thanks
re-connect to your computer - If you have a Mac Make him, his own user account then he only has his stuff on it. If not then select the Photos tab when you are in iTunes and have his iPod selected on the left side. At this point you then de-select the photos.
I am guessing that these are your photos and not ones that he wants. You can only delete photos on the iPod that where originaly taken on the iPod. -

How can I download iOS 6 to my iPad 2
I want to download iOS 6 to my iPad 2 and there seems that I cannot find iOS 6 let alone download it. Shouldn't it be in the App store??
No, it's not in the store. If you have iOS 5+ on the iPad then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option on the iPad so you can update directly on it. If you have iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes

I can't download iOS 7 on my iPad 3. I says my software is up to date (6.1.3). Can anyone help me with this?
May just be the update server acting glitchy due all the people slamming it right now. I'd give it 24 hrs, and if it's still doing it, check back in here and we'll see if we can't figure it out.

After downloading iOs 7 to my iPad 2 Skype application mic and video is not working? any advice?
I downloaded iOs 7 to my iPad 2 and updated Skype app. After this,m microphone and video are not working. My called party is not able hear me nor see me. Any guidance from the Community?
g.k.fromindAfter updating IOS many people have the same problem that the mic no longer works and Apple say it is a hardware problem. Rubbish! Plug in an apple earphone and then try it. (Apple earphones have 4 sections on the jack plug, must be this type.) Mic works fine so obviously it is a problem in the new IOS and this is a way around it!
Hope this helps other people,

How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad?
I want to download IOS 7 for my IPad. I would like to do this through my computer so I do not have to remove my apps. However, when I go into updates in my iTunes, the only selection I get is IOS 8. I do not want to use IOS 8 until it is fixed. So the question is... How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad through my computer?
You can't.
There is no longer iOS 7 available and no longer anyway to obtain or download it.
The current iOS version is iOS 8.0.2.
I would NOT advise updating your iPad at this time.
iOS 8, IMO, is still plenty buggy and NOT ready for older iPad 2 and 3 devices, as yet.
DO NOT UPDATE!
I would suggest waiting it out until, at least iOS 8.1 is, eventually, released. -
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?
Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

Having trouble downloading iOS 7 to my iPad 2!!!!!!! Need help!!!! Tried many times and gives me error message!!
If you are using OTA (over-the-air) update on the device itself (Settings>General>Software Update and only available under iOS 5.x or above), try updating it through iTunes instead by connecting the device to your syncing PC.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
Be sure and click on the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes".
