My iPad is restored, however it's been taking its time to fully restore.

I recently erased all content on my iPad 2 and restored to backup from iCloud. However, most of my apps,music and photos have not been restored. My apps have been "waiting" for a long time (about 10 hours now) and I've only recovered little of my backed up content. Any suggestions on how to make the process a bit faster? Should I just erase my content and try again?

The amount of time depends on the speed of your internet. If your friend have a fast internet use it.

Hi, I have an Iphone 3g that is "Not" jailbroken, nor do I want it to be jailbroken. However, I had been having problems with it shuting down and not starting again. So, I tried to update and restore only to get an "error" 1015.
It is now stuck on "connect to itunes"
Any help would be great as this is a factory unlocked phone

Apple in no way blocks devices.
Carriers can blacklist devices from their network. If that is what has occurred, only the carrier can remove the blacklist. This should have nothing to do with your ability to activate the device and use it as an iPod.

TS3297 Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help pleas

Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?

So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.

HT201077 My ipad was restored but I had saved my pictures on my other device but hasn't been backed up for 5 months how can I view those pictures on my restored ipad

My iPhone 3GS has all my pix stored in.nut I haven't backed it up in 5 months because I'm scared to lose my pix.my ipad was restored so lost the pix on my ipad.hw transfer my pix to my iPhone into my ipad?

If you only have iCloud's basic, free 5 GBs of storage, if you had more than this on your iPad, chances are high that your backups to iCloud weren't a complete iPad backup, anyhow. And since this has been full for 23 weeks means that you may end up only retrieving a fraction of your current data that you had on your iPad, if what you had on your iCloud backup contained anything that may still have been on your iPad.
This is just one of the reasons I do not like Cloud storage services.
The best and most reliable backup of your iPad is to use a computer with Apple iTunes installed on it and connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes syc and backup all of your iPad's data.
I an afraid without a clear, comprehensive backup, whatever is saved to your iCloud account is all you are going to be able to retrieve.
If you have purchased anything from IOS App Store and/or iTunes on your iPad, all of iTunes and iOS App Store purchases will have to be redownload and reinstalled.
You won't get charged, again, for the purchases you had already made.
Sorry.

IPad 2 Restore Error (-1) with iOS 5.1.1

Hello there everyone
My iPad last night seemed to get itself into a restart loop so I plugged it into iTunes to do a restore. The restore goes ahead and it verifies, extracts and does all the usual steps up until it says "Restoring iPad Firmware". Here it seems to get stuck for a few minutes until it throws an error: "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (-1)." I have tried pretty much everything in terms of resolving a restore issue such as switching USB ports, restarting iTunes, restarting the computer, changing USB cables, activating "DFU" mode and so on. Nothing. I have looked after this iPad very well, it was a gift, its been in a case its whole life, I travel around with it in a sleeve and I haven't dropped it or done anything that could of caused an issue.
It is still under warranty, this is a replacement unit I got when my first iPad kept throwing up an error 9. I will obviously take it in if there is an issue, however, I can only get to the nearest Apple store in a few weeks.
Much appreciated to anyone taking the time to read this and possibly help me find a solution.
Cheers
Chris

No, I have never jailbroken it, I did read something mentioning that being related to the issue, however, because I have never jailbroken it, it probably isn't related to me.

Ipad wont restore itself.

I forgot my passcode to my iPad (sadly). So I have to restore it however I have been stuck in the restore mode for about 2 days now. I took down my firewall and norton security. I just tried to "restore" again the SAME EXACT ERROR came up again. So now im frustrated and tired. What do I do next. I am currently downloading King Peungin solution to see if it works.

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
If that doesn't work then you could try downloading the update via a browser and then in iTunes pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file :
ipad1
iPad 2 wifi-only
iPad 2 GSM/sim
iPad 2 CDMA
I am tired and I would really appreciate if someone could help me out. Thank You.
I have already tried the hold home button and start button crap. everytime it begins to restore it goes so far then gets stuck and pops up on the computer saying it has resotred leave ipad in computer for a few seconds. but all the ipad does is pop up connect to itunes.

Read his post again. He said that he used a USB port directly on the computer, do not use a hub to connect the iPad to iTunes.
" but i read on another post to not use a usb hub but plug directly into back of computer. did this and it is now working"

If you have followed the standard Apple troubleshooting processes (see user guide )
probably a trip to the local Apple Store Genius bar is called for before warranty runs out
Assuming the iPad has been released in your Country if not you may have to take it to a
neighbouring Country where it is available

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Ipad not restoring after IOS8 update

I attempted to update to ios 8 on my ipad air.
However my ipad was too full, so i deleted some apps/data and reattempted.
When I did the screen gave a message to connect to itunes. When I did it downloaded the software but I then had to restore the ipad.
When I attempted to restore, the ipad will not recognise my apple ID - Incorrect Apple ID "n*******@*********.uk" cannot beused to unlock this ipad.
However I know this is the ID/ password for this Ipad as I have a couple of ipod touchs on the same account that I use for school in tandem with the ipad.
When i try a different account or incorrect password I get a different message "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" so it appears I am using the right ID, but the ipad cannot use it.
Regards
Nicola

When I try to turn on my homesharing on apple TV it says that either my apple id doesn't exist or the password is wrong. However, I've been using the id for almost half a year and I even changed my password and it still wouldn't work. How do I fix this?

I don't want to lose all my pics, songs etc
Whats my next move as I CANNOT use the ipas at the moment!!!!!!!!

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

You can turn that feature off in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Contacts>Show in App Switcher>Recents>Off.

My iPad is restored, however it's been taking its time to fully restore.
