Removing icloud backup and restoring backup to ipad

My dad has an ipad air. He has been using icloud backup. For some reason he has decided that he doesn't want to use the icloud backup, but of course he doesn't know how to get out of it or how to just use a backup from his computer. He has asked me to help him, lucky me, I have to ask everyone for help.
I believe he can manually back-up to his computer from his ipad using itunes. First of all, does that in fact back up everything from his ipad?
If I understand correctly, if he deletes the icloud backup, then everything that icloud has backed up is also deleted from his ipad? Is that correct?
If so how should he proceed: Should he first make sure he has a correct backup of his ipad through itunes to his computer, assuming that this backup automatically backs up everything. Then, does he delete everything that icloud has backed up on his ipad under "managing storage". If he turns off Photos and Documents and Data under the icloud account then a message comes up saying that all documents and data stored in icloud will be deleted from this ipad. So, he wants to be sure that if he restores through itunes that everything gets put back on his ipad.
This is confusing to me. I just want to be sure that he doesn't end up losing anything in the process.
Any easy procedures to help me do this for him without causing headaches or loss of data would be appreciated. I have tried searching on help topics and ipad and itunes help, but it gets rather overwhelming. I know I can just turn off icloud backups so that it doesn't do that anymore, the problem is that my dad doesn't want the stuff in icloud that is already there to stay there.
Thanks.

Are you sure it's done restoring? Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup and scroll to the very bottom. It will say Restoring iPhone if it isn't finished.

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Preserving folders on iPad during backup and restore

Are there suggestions for preserving my folders during a backup and restore to a new iPad2? I have had experiences previously where my apps would be removed from the folders and I would have to spend lots of time reorganizing.

If you are restoring to factory settings, you will loose the folders. If you are restoring from a backup, then the folders should be what is in the backup. If you change the folders on the iPad after you made a backup, then create a new backup with the current arrangement and discard the previous backup.

I have ipad there is a message on display icloud backup and messsage is this ipad hasn't backed up in 14 weeks.backups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked,and connect to wi-fi .

Do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until it reboots and you see the silver apple. That should make it go away.

Hi Maastricht2014,
Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
Hope that Helps!

Icloud backup and restore

Hello, my iMessage randomly took up 1 GB in my storage and I was searching how to fix it and they said to go on iCloud and turn on iCloud backup and restore your device and I was thinking will it save your process on apps when they re-install?

What do you mean by saving process on apps? Do you mean progress in games? If that is what you mean, then yes, backing up should save game progress.

Problems of change of apple ID, wifi connection and restore backup

Met the following problems with my iphone after change the apple ID from hotmail account to gmail account and restore backup from i4 to i5.
1. Cannot make any purchase / update as it keeps show the OLD (hotmail) apple ID on the iphone.
2. Incomplete data transferred to i5 from i4. (Empty data of some apps)
3. Unable connect wifi and asks for the password and says unable to join the network even I enter correct password. Curious that wifi works perfectly fine on i4 even other devices (laptop, not Mac).
Why this happen ? Any suggestion or someone can tell how to fix the above problems ?

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.
If you are changing to a different iCloud account and need to migrate your data to this new account, when you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Then when you sign into the new account, when prompted choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

How to backup and restore working Mac OS 9 computer ?

I have a working G4 running OS 9.0, and I would like to backup and restore that hard disk to a second G4 computer that is OS 9 bootable.
I have a CD backup taken by Toast v4, of the entire disk, but I do not know how to restore the contents to the second computer. My previous attempt hosed the hard disk inside the second computer.
I'm thinking I can boot up the second computer via cd-rom or external hard disk, but I'm not sure I can copy the contents from the cd-rom correctly. In particular, I'm guessing the boot sector is challenging to restore.
I probably have some old OS 9 cd-roms around here, if I need to go that route.
I've thought about removing the working hard disk, and using dd on a linux machine to make a clone of the drive. I'd prefer not to go that route, as I don't want to touch working hardware.
I've also thought about hooking up a portable USB disk drive to my working OS 9 machine, and doing some sort of cloning. I'm not sure what program I would need to do that, and whether it's part of the OS 9 suite of tools, or a 3rd party tool. I used to own some various disk tools, but it's been so long I'm not sure I can find the cd's.
So if anybody can point to some instructions on the net for me to follow, or have any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks
mark

If the second computer originally shipped supporting a newer OS 9.x
system than the first 9.0, the other computer's OS9 version probably
won't work since it would be too old. In the case of drag and drop,
you can get away with a lot more than what an installer package may
allow, since the installer's software can be avoided with Pacifist. So
another computer's OS9.2.2 basic system could be used as a boot
volume even if it is sparse and not the fully complemented OS 9.2.2
that a full retail build would install from a rich full retail install disc.
Usually the retail path was an OS 9.2.1 retail and the update to 9.2.2;
but machines requiring OS 9.2.2 won't like a 9.2.1. Sometimes, since
a drag and drop is not driven by installer software, you can use older.
But machine specific bits, some critical for graphic card drivers & etc,
would be likely missing unless the software used offered that support.
If you can find one of these, it may work = note, out of stock:
691-3638-A Apple G3/G4 9.2.2 (CD) System Software
{This is a Mac OS 9.2.2 full installation CD, color Grey.}
These do not come in retail packaging.

Have fun, even if it isn't exactly as planned.
Good luck & happy computing!

An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

My Itunes account was hacked and my Apple ID was disabled. I followed the instructions from APPLE to backup and restore from Itunes but that did not work. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

Ideas for Providing User Level Data Backup and Restore

I'm looking for ideas for implementing a user level application data backup and restore in an Apex app.
What would be great is to have a user be provided an export file and a way to import this file. A bit overkill but hopefully never needed.
Another option that is perfectly doable is a report that simply provides a means to create an export of the data. Since I already have an interface I can use an export to interface an export.
Any thoughts?
Hopefully I'm missing something already there for an end user to use.

jlincoln wrote:
"Do you mean "export" and "import" colloquially, or in the specific sense of the exp/imp/datapump utilities?"': I mean as in imp/exp Oracle utilities. Generally speaking, it would be neat to be able to export and import via an Apex an application. In this hosted environment I don't have that access but would this be a bad idea if you don't care about the existing data in the schema in which the data resides?I can envisage a mechanism using <tt>exp/imp</tt>, but since it requires <tt>dbms_scheduler</tt> external jobs and access to the file system it's highly unlikely to be possible in a hosted environment. (Unless you're doing the hosting?)
Backup: Necessary for piece of mind and flexibility. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group.
Restore: Like I said. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group. This is a very small data set. A restore would simply remove existing data and replace it with the new data.My opinion is that time would be better spent working on the user rather than a redundant backup and restore feature. Involve them in a disaster recovery exercise with whoever is hosting the environment to prove that their data is safe. Normally the inclusion of data in regular, effective database backups is sold as a major feature of APEX solutions.
"What about security/privacy when this data ends up in uncontrolled environments?": I don't understand the point of this question. The data should not end up in uncontrolled environments. Just like the data in the database or its backups.Again, having data in a central, shared location protected by multiple levels of application, database, and OS security is usually seen as a plus for APEX over VB/Access. Exporting the data in toto to a PC/laptop that can be stolen or lost, and where it can be copied to USB drives/phones/email loses this protection.
User Level: Because the end user must have access to the backup and restore mechanisms of the application.
Application Data: The application data. Less than 10MB. Very small. It can be exported in a flat file downloaded by the end user. This file can then be used to upload and import via an existing application interface. For example.
"I'm struggling to parse this for meaning.": When I say I have an existing interface I am referring to a program residing in the Apex application that will take data from a flat table structure (i.e. interface table), validate the data, derive data, and load into the target table structure.Other than the report export capability linked to above, there's nothing built-in to APEX that comes close to your requirement. If the data is simple enough that it can be handled in such a report, and you have a process that can read and recreate this export, then you have your backup/restore capability. If the data can't be handled in a simple report, then you'll need a more complex PL/SQL process to generate the file.

I just exchanged a faulty iPhone 4 for a new one, when I got home to restore it, iCloud says "cannot restore backup". Can somebody please help provide much needed advice? Thanks in advance!

Yep, that's the only message that popped out. Nothing else. Yes, it's running on the latest ios and I still can't restore it. I called apple and they told me it's probably something wrong with their servers. Anyway thanks for the advice.

Erasing old backups using Thinadvantage backup and restore software

I want to erase 3 old backups on my external USB disk using the Lenovo backup and restore software (T500 with latest Lenovo toolbox and other software.) Everytime I click on "delete" on the line of the backup it goes into "not responding" and forces me to exit the software using the task manager.   The software seems to be hung up, because when I want to disconnect the disk (safely remove hardware) I get a message that "the disk is in use by some software- shut down the software first". OF course, nothing is running so I have to shut down the computer before disconnecting.   When I start up and reconnect the disk, I have problems disconnecting the disk, even if I haven't used it.
Is the problem with the disk or with the software?   Would formatting the disk clear up the problem?
Thanks in advance,    Ben .
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bent500, welcome to the forum,
could you try deleting the last backup made on it's own first and when it's finished the others. Sounds a little crazy, but this works on most occasions.
