Original iPad: Replace with Mini?
My wife has one of the original iPads. I'm thinking about getting her a new iPad Mini. She has a fair number of apps she got from the App Store. How difficult will it be for her to re-install those apps on the mini? Is there a simple way to do it, or will it have to be one by one?
Also, is the difference in performance and display going to be that much improved? (Yes, I know the screen is smaller!)
Thanks, Jim
Hmmmm..... did you say bbbbbackup? I would be willing to bet big dinero that she has NEVER backed it up! Probably didn't know that was possible. I didn't either, but then again, it's her device and I seldom mess with it. However, I do thank you immensly for the answer. I'll probably get her the iPad mini and have her get with the backup process. Both of our iMac's and my MacBook Air are using Time Machine - not sure why backing up the iPad never crossed our minds! :-)
Regards, Jim

Is my original iPad compatible with iHome iDM12 wireless speakers? I am having trouble pairing. iPad sees device but does not connect.
It should be it the iHome supports the bluetooth profiles that the iPod supports. See:
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
Try resetting the iHome if it was previusly paired to another device.

I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?
Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

You can't restore to old iPad because it does not support IOS 6.1.3 -

Hi,
PLEASE HELP!! Last night my boyfriend asked me to sync his phone as he had purchased a new app and it was required to connect to iTunes to finish installing, so we did this, it took forever!! It also prompted us to upgrade to iOS5, which we did, the sync finished and he unplugged his phone and all of the contacts and apps from my iPhone have moved onto his phone and his apps have disappeared? Is there anyway at all to rectify this at all? I know that w had to restore the phone after upgrading to iOS5 but I am sure that I hit restore from partners phone and not from mine.iPhones can only be sync'd to ONE computer.
And as it was not running iOS5, it had to have been sync to a computer before he could use it.
So unless it was always backup up to your computer, it is all gone.
You can redownload apps you bought.
Sign into his account on the iphone, and go to appstore.
Go to Updates page,
you can click on purchased and see what you already bought, and can redownload.
In future you should only sync your iphone to one computer.
In iOS5 you can backup online to icloud.
But sadly the data that was on his phone may be gone now that you updated on your computer.
Out of interest, I have never had an app that needs to sync to a computer before it downloads or runs.
What app was it? -

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

I was trying to help my aunt set up her phone to itunes on my computer but when it asked me whether I wanted to set it as new device or use the backup from previous iphone data, I clicked restore from backup. I didn't realize that clicking that option would delete all of her information on the phone and relace it with mine. Her contacts, phones, notes, and all of her information are gone and replaced with mine just like my phone. Is there any way I can restore her phone because she really needs all those information orignally stored on her phone? She just got her phone not long ago and didn't backed up any of her information on her phone.
If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

HT4081 I have the original iPad (1) which is ios 3.2. Can I update it to at least ios 4.2?
I have the original iPad (1) with ios 3.2 Can I update it to at least 4.2?
You can update to the current version (5.1.1) as that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple (some people have said that iOS 5 slows down the first gen iPad).
You will need the latest version of iTunes on your computer - you can check if you are up-to-date via, on a PC, 'Help > Check For Updates', and on a Mac 'iTunes > Check For Updates'
When you have that installed, connect the iPad to it and copy any purchases off it via File > Transfer Purchases and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

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. -
How does the original iPad mini perform on iOS 8?
I have been thinking about getting a new iPad from the iPad 2. I know the original iPad mini and the iPad 2 have similar specs, but the real upgrade I get from it is the wireless technology and the ability to use Handoff. Overall, how does the original iPad mini handle iOS 8? Should I go with that iPad or get the iPad mini 2? I wouldn't get the iPad mini 3 because I don't think Touch ID is necessary for what I want to do on an iPad.
Overall, I am wondering how iOS 8 performs on the original iPad mini so it can help me choose between the original or the iPad mini 2. Thanks in advance for your input!Get the mini 2 when the prices come down. The mini 2 is baically a smaller iPad Air. The improvements over the mini are well worth the money.
