Resetting my iPad but don't want to lose data

I need to return my work iPad to the company and therefore will be resetting it. How can I ensure I don't lose the data, how can I save it so that I can put this on a new iPad if I decide to get a personal one.
I also have an iPhone and don't want to lose anything from that when I reset my iPad, are they linked? Is there anyway to move this data across to my iPhone?
The data I'm worried about losing is the contacts, iMessages and bookmarks/favourites within Safari.

If, in iCloud settings on the iPad, you have Safari checked, your history and favourites will be synchronsied via iCloud and you'll be able to get them back on a new device synced to the same account. Same for contacts, calendar items and so on.
The page below outlines everyting backed up via iCloud.

So between iCloiud sync and backup, you should be OK

  • HT1430 Need to reset Ipad but don't want to loose data

    Nedd help with the above

    Connect to your computer and back up your iPad before restoring.
    I like to achieve a full backup in the following order:
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Transfer Purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases - Let this process finish
    3. Backup - File>Devices>Back Up - Let this process finish
    Now you have a full backup! If your iPad needs to be completely restored due to a complex technical support issue, then you'll likely want to try to Restore from Backup first and see if the issue is resolved. That will in all likelihood restore the same issue back to the iPad, but it is the most hassle free way of restoring and in some cases it will resolve your issues. If you are still having your issue after restoring from the backup you just created, you will need to restore again and Set Up as a New iPad. This will require you to set everything up as if it were new out of the box. Email, addresses, iCloud settings, etc. You will lose some data. Any saved game data, iMessages, etc.
    Hope this helps. Please reply if you have further questions. By the way, what is the specific issue that you are experiencing which necessitates the "reset"?

  • Presently have Snow  Leopard and want to upgrade to Maverick but don't want to lose data.  How to download safely? don't am worried about losing info.  How to download it without risk to current data.

    Am currently using Snow Leopard and do not have access to I Cloud or latest version of I Photo.  Understand I can download Maverick free but am worried about losing data.  How to download Maverick and safeguard present files?

    Mac OS X upgrades are designed so that none of your existing Applications or User data are intentionally deleted during a System Upgrade.
    That works as long as there are no problems whatsoever.
    Your best protection from data loss is good Backups. Before you upgrade, buy an External Drive at least 2 to 3 times the size of your User Data, and Turn on Time Machine. USB-2 enclosure drives are cheap, and fast enough for backups. If you will use this drive for everyday data, a faster interface would be much better.
    Time Machine works quietly in the background, and does not "take over" your Mac to do the Backups. After the first large backup, it will quietly back up hourly, copying only the things that have changed since the last Backup. Time Machine is not the only Backup solution, or even the best solution out there. But it tends to be the Backup that actually happens, because you don't have to download any software, do extensive setup, or think about whether you should do it now or later.

  • My company wants to purchase Office for iPad,but don't want our reps to be able to back up to Office 365 cloud based system. Can this be disabled?

    Since Office 365 is a Microsoft product and not an Apple product, it doubtful you'll get an answer here. Suggest you post in a M$ Office 365 forum, like this one http://support.microsoft.com/ph/15834/en  Google for others.

    If you are talking about a CDR disk, you may have a problem after restoring your Profile with having a "lock" on the individual files due to using a CDR and Firefox not working properly or an "alert" popping up. Easily solved by being observant after restoring your Profile and unlocking those files.

  • We want to purchase a new iPhone but don't want to lose the text messages on that phone.  Can they be uploaded and then restored onto the new phone

    we plan on buying an iphone 5 but don't want to lose the text messges we have on our iPhone 4s.   is there a way to upload the texts and then download them onto the new phone

    Text messages are included in your iPhone backup.  Before switching over to the new phone, back up the old one, then restore this backup to your new phone.  That will transfer text messages, along with other data and settings, as well as your apps and other purchased media.  More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

    Downloaded apps using my iphone, now I want to sync my phone on my computer, but don't want to lose the apps that I've downloaded on my phone Help!

    Connect the phone to your computer, but do not sync. Make sure iTunes is authorized to the same account that you bought the apps with. Then select "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. Once this finishes the apps will be on your computer, so you can sync safely.

  • HT1414 is there another way to fix my iPad it says to do a restore but don't want to lose all my games and trophies i've done

    i was in the middle of updating my ipad and of course the battery died, the computer doesnt charge up the ipad while plugged in (very stupid) and now it wants to restore i don't want to lose all my trophies in the games that ive played if i do a restore....can anyone help me

    If you backed up the iPad before you tried to update, you can restore the iOS and then restore from the backup. If you don't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do about it now.
    You will have to restore the iPad in order to make it operational again and you will lose all of your data. If you don't sync with iTunes and cannot recover your media again that way, you can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.

  • Don't know passcode to iPod but don't want to lose everything!?

    I just found my iPod and I cannot remember the passcode for the life of me. I tried twice & the second time it disabled for a minute, then a minute later after just one try it disabled for 5 minutes. I was just going to back it up & then restore it like last time this happened but this time it says that I need to unlock the iPod first. Unfortunately that's why I was trying to do that :-) I really really don't want to lose everything but don't know what to do. I just spent the past hour trying to figure it out, but no luck. Please please please help! Thank you so much!!

    You don't have that choice, I'm afraid.

  • Need to UPDATE but don't want to lose rankings, last played, playlists, etc

    I need to download the new version of iTunes for some reason, in order to buy an ipod and even to download certain songs in the itunes store. This is very annoying.
    In the past, when I've updated my itunes to a new version, I've lost the song rankings, playlists, last played info, etc for over 5,000 songs/videos. It was EXTREMELY annoying. I don't want to lose this info again when/if I update my itunes.
    I now have over 10,000 songs on an external hard drive, along with the itunes folder/etc. I am using Windows XP. Can anyone here, anyone at all, tell me how I can update to the new version of iTunes without losing this info?
    I will not update if I can't be guaranteed that this will work. I do NOT want to lose all this info again.
    Thank you! Kevin

    I have an ipod 30gb then i bought a shuffle just because i wanted one. I had to also update my itunes software for that and it kept everything in there perfect. Ive had to update my software many many times actually and nothing ever was deleted.. The only time something was actually deleted was when i didnt update it when it told me to. Id say youd be safe to update it. If you are really worried about it you can back up your music first!!

  • Reinstall WinXP and Palm Desktop - Don't Want to Lose Data ??

    Hi - searched for this in the forum, but didn't find any answers to my particular situation.  Just need to make absolutely certain I don't lose anything.
    Had to perform a format/reinstall of XP in December.  All up-to-date with service packs, etc.
    Now need to reinstall all my Palm stuff.
    I have all the files from my pre-format stored in a massive hard drive backup on a separate drive.
    My Centro is up-to-date as of December right before re-install; I have added some additional contacts/appts in the Centro since then.
    I have added some other data in Outlook 2003.
    Now, after I install the Palm desktop:
    How would I perform my first hot-sync?
    How do I get all my programs etc. back?  They are on the Centro right now - I don't want to lose them.  Some don't need to sync with computer and some do.  I can't afford to lose the data in these programs.  Will syncing with the phone (overwriting the desktop) allow my programs to stay the way they are on the Centro right now?
    Do I need to do something with the backup I made?  Is it even useful?
    Thanks in advance, and let me know if I'm not making sense.
    Melody
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Hello!
    Fresh reinstall of Windows and Palm Desktop?  If so then all you need to do is plug the cable into the phone and hit the black button.  Palm Desktop will prompt create new user, just hit yes and your all set!  The hotsync process auto does a handheld overwrite sync style for this inital process.  If you already created the username in Palm Desktop that is the same as the Centro and have not yet hotsynced, rename that user to whatever and then do that sync.

  • Want to reinstall OS Tiger but don't want to lose all my settings, data

    Please Help
    My computer has been having kernel panics - I was told reinstalling the OS may fix it.
    Is there a way to reinstall OS X without having to completely wipe the drive and reinstall everything (applications, pop email accounts in mail, etc.)? I'm also working on a Final Cut Project and don't want that harmed.
    Can I refresh the OS without altering or erasing data?

    I would make sure to have a complete backup of all your important data. This is always a necessity, but is more of one now since your are experiencing trouble.
    And take a look at the following regarding kernel panics:
