My ipad 3 reset itself back to the original setting.

My ipad 3 reset itself back to when you take it out of the box.
All setting is gone. What happened?
I have no idea.
I just took it out of my bag and turn it on and the welcome message, Hello appeared and asked to set the country and so on.
Please help!
Before I plug it into my imac, I want to know what caused this.
Also, the other day, the ipad was locked with a timer, and it won't let me access it until the timer ran out.
What the hack is going on?
Anyone?

The welcome screen you describe may just be that an iOS update has been applied. Your data should still be intact. If not you can back up from iCloud or from a local back up you may have performed via iTunes. Just push through the Welcome screen questions to complete the update.

  • Instructions on the Apple site to do this but it didn't work. How do I revert back to the original set up? All files still on local hard disk

    I moved the itunes folder to an external hard drive but it didn't work, so I want to revert back to original set up. All the files are still on the local hard disk. I have tried to reverse the steps I used previously but when I try to play a track it says original file could not be found. If I navigate to the itunes music folder and select a track direct from there it opens itunes and plays so I know the music is still on the computer I just can't figure out how to get it to play direct from itunes.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Please help me put about this mac more info back to the original setting

    my macbook pro, when i click about this mac and when I click on more info it doesnt show the orignal screen about the mac instead it show a big screen with alot of info, please help me fix it to the original way

    If the System Profiler application isn't in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, the More Info button will be dimmed. Look for this application elsewhere on your hard disk; if it isn't on the hard disk, use Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X installation disks and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X.

  • Escape only works if I press shift+esc. How do I change it back to the original setting?

    Pretty much what the subject line says. Out of nowhere, my escape key only functions if I press shift+esc. The physical key itself is not broken, but it seems a setting in the OS was changed somehow and I don't know how to revert back.

  • I had a problem connecting the Internet to my mini Ipad-mini.  So I reset it back to the beginning but it kept some apps and I lost a lot of them. Can I reset the rest of apps that are missing? Thanks!

    I had a problem with my Internet connect and I reset the device. I found later it was because my modem lost code and I had to renter it. The problem is when I reset it back to the beginning, I lost a lot of my apps, is there anyway I can get them back? And is there a way to back things up before I go searching for an answers? Despite what you have written my real email is [email protected] Thanks. Please remember my email address. Thanks

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. Don't post your email address. Apple will remove.
    You can redownload any missing apps -free or paid - without charge.
    A Reset does not cause app deletion. I suspect you did a Restore.

  • I can't open any apps on my iPad. Everything goes back to the main menu. Anybody have a solution to this?

    Has anybody got some advice? I can't open any apps on my iPad. Everything goes back to the main menu immediately.

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Note:
    Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    If i uninstall AMDS, iTunes and all Apple softwares, will all the music i currently have in iTunes delete.., or will it download itself back into the new iTunes?

    Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall does not touch your content. That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a backup in case of disasters.

  • I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner.  I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated.  Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?

    I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner.  I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated.  Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?

    I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items.  I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin.  I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to.  I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else.  However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

  • HT201376 Granddaughter somehow reset my computer back to the original settings, cleared everything..can it be recovered?

    Granddaughter somehow reset my computer back to the original settings, cleared everything..can it be recovered?

    Is it possible she simply created a new user account?
    Open the hard drive by double clicking its icon on the desktop (assuming you have these turned on to show). Double click the Users folder. Is there more than one account there? Is your original account still there?

  • HT1631 I have reset to default keychain, how do I go back to the original keychain?

    I have reset to default keychain, how do I go back to the original keychain?

    Don't think so, but look in your user Library>Keychains.
    Hit Cmd-Shift-G and enter ~/Library
    Looks like it is possible. See
