Restoring ipad2 with backup from friend's iOS7 backup

Will this work or does my ipad2 still have ios8 imbedded In it? My plan is to restore my iPad with my friend's latest back up. She did not update to ios8 because I warned her not to.

There is no way to get the iOS from her device to transfer to your device. It's not possible. Discussion of jailbreaking is not allowed on these forums and if anybody were to advise you how to hack your device, they would be booted as soon as they were reported. I would never recommend hacking the device because of the potential for malware, viruses and other problems.
Have you heard of Google?

My I Touch is frozen. I have rebooted it, restored it to factory settings and restored it with backup. Sometimes it works for a week or 2, sometimes not.

How to restore ipad2 ios 7 from backup

I have an ipad2 which I backed up on my computer. I copied all files from Itunes folder and ipad2 folder. Also did a backup using itunes. I have the iPad2,2 7.2 Restore.ipsw somewhere in my computer. Is there a way to restore my ios 7 (getting rid of the miserably non-functional ios8) from my backup? If so, how can I find it in my computer? what is the step by step restore procedure? Do I need to turn off wifi in order to get the ipsw to take? Or do I need to restore to factory settings, and then "update" to 7.2? How would I do that? Please help! I've spent the last ten days trying to figure this out and am about to turn my once beloved ipad 2 into a man-made reef (deep, deep in the ocean!).

Sorry, Apple does not support the downgrading of the iOS.
Even if you managed to find it on your computer, when your try to validate the install with iTunes it won't work because Apple only signs the current iOS.
I know iOS8 can take come getting used to, if you'd like to start another thread with our issues perhaps people here can suggest things that will help.

Can I restore events with titles from time machine?

I need to restore 2 events back into iphoto. I am using time machine as my backup. When I restore the event it imports the photos from that event back into iphoto but puts them into an "untitled event".
Is there a way to restore events including the title of the event or do I have to go by memory on what all the events were titled?
It would seem that there would be a way to do this. My concern is if I ever have to restore a large number of events from time machine it would be nearly impossible to remember what each event is titled.
Thank you in advance

No, you can't do it that way. There is another way but is rather involved and time consuming and will require the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. Here's how:
1 - restore the entire library with the events you want and keep the current one.
2 - rename the restored library to iPhoto Library Restored.
3 - rename the original library back to just iPhoto Library.
4 - open your current library and then close.
5 - open iPLM and get both libraries loaded in the left hand pane.
6 - copy the event from the restored library to the operation library like this.
That will keep your keywords, titles and comments and Event title intact.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Restore List with Backup

Here is my scenario.
We have a List in Site Collection A, where we have attachment in list items. Earlier we had taken backup of this list and restored in another site collection B. And then we deleted items from the list A where the status was completed and completion date
matches MM-DD-YYY.
Now I am again taking back up of list from Site Collection A and want to follow the same process. But I am stuck if we can store that in same list of Site Collection B (with overwriting the data in B) or will have to create new list.
Also is there a way to move list items with attachment to another list in different site collection. I am looking for OOB functionality, please note designer is disable on our environment.
Thanks,
Kundan Verma

there are couple of things to do you can use the Central admin and take the backup of list then use powershell to restore it.
here is the blog which will go through all the options(OOTB).
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2009/10/21/sharepoint-2010-granular-backup-restore-part-1.aspx
the big thing will be the metadata(i.e modified by etc) will be lost as per my experience.
if you have option to use 3rd party tool then use the sharegate trial version and do it.

Restoring Library with Backup

Hi,
I'm afraid this is an old and recurrent theme, but having had a good read of lots of older posts I just can't get this fixed.
I did an Erase and Install and am now running 10.4.6. I used Backup to save all my home folders including about 8GB of photos in iPhoto. I have restored them to their proper location but can't get iPhoto 6.02 to see them even after trying the option open trick to choose a library.
Here's a screen shot of my library - http://homepage.mac.com/sstringer/.Pictures/Other/iphotolib.jpg
Anything look unusual about it?
When choosing the library should I be selecting the whole 'iPhoto Library'?
Thanks

Steff:
Andrew is right, your photos will be in the Originals and Modified folder. Those year folders are carryover from the iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 6 process and should be void of image files. Move them to the desktop and check them before deleting. Occasionally users have found image files, not thumbnails, in there that didn't get converted for some reason. You can manually salvage them.
If you want to save your keywords you can do so by following Tutorial #1 before you import the contents of the Originals and Modified folders into your new library.

Restore Contacts with Backup Assistant

How do I restore my contacts that I previous backed up?

Hello SpiralPath,
Were you able to retrieve those contacts? Click this link Backup Assistant (sign in) to check if contacts are available. You may sync directly from the site, by simply clicking sync on the right hand side (above contacts).
You may also try to sync by adding your G-mail account to the your device then go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Ensure Sync is on for G-mail account. You may also select Auto-sync.

Siri not integrating well with Find my Friends in IOS7

Since I upgraded to IOS7, Siri seems to be having more problems. In the past, I could say "Where's Chuck Jones, or Find Chuck, and Siri would jump right to it. Now when I ask the question in IOS7, she will respond either with "Here is the address for Chuck Jones" and then show "Content not Available" (I do have his contact info in my phone), or just say "I don't have an address for Chuck Jones" and display the same not available message.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem in iOS 6. Siri used to work well with FMF, but now just says it doesn't have an address for any of the contacts I ask it about. Also, notifications like "tell me when x arrives at home" don't work anymore.

TS3682 When i plug my ipad into pc it restores it with info from my ipod? What am i doin wrong?

Not sure what to do

It seems to be a very common comment that an iPad is recognized as a camera by either a pc or a Mac. Happens to me all the time. I ignore the box that comes up and I dismiss it. Then I start iTunes and the iPad will sync normally.
Not sure on the PC but on a Mac the program Image Capture handles what happens when a camera is attached to the computer. There is probably a similar program for the pc. On a Mac start Image Capture and then go to it's preferences. There will be a choice for what application should open or what should happen when a camera is connected to the computer. For Image Capture select Nothing. Then save the preference and quit the program. The next time you connect your iPad nothing should startup.
When you do connect a camera you will have to manually start up Image Capture or whatever other software you use to transfer photos from the camera to your computer.

Had to restore iPad2 from itunes after IOS8 update with no option to restore from icloud backup.

since i lost everything on my ipad due to the IOS8 update, i thought i'd try to do a manual restore from my icloud backup, but the only backup listed is one from the day i did the update/restore. i'm pretty sure it's not going to help me recover everything that i lost since it's only 1.8gb. i know my ipad backed up to the cloud every couple of weeks when i charged it, so shouldn't there be other backup dates available? also, when i go to settings>icloud>manage storage>ipad, the backup options list every app i had on my ipad before the update/restore, but those apps are no longer on my ipad, so i'm not sure why they're listed in the backup options. apparently i can't even contact apple to help with this issue without paying $20, and i live 2 hours away from the closest apple store. any thoughts?

My philosophy is if you lost everything already anyway, you have nothing to lose by restoring the iCloud backup at this point. Besides, your apps will download from iCloud, if you were truly backing up with iCloud and not using iTunes. Apps are not part of the backup, app data is.
I would give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you are no worse off than you are now. But - your apps should still all download from the cloud even if the data is gone.

Updated ipad2 with new os half through the restore it tells me to enter a backup file password.. I never set one??

Have you encrypted the backups files from your iPad? If so, that is likely the password needed.

Trouble with restoring an iPhoto library from a time machine backup.

I'm having trouble restoring my iPhoto library from a time machine backup.
I have created a new library in my pictures file.
When I try to restore the library the restore process is trying to copy it to an external drive that no longer exists - it failed and I had to have it recovered and all the recovery (including backups) data is now on a different external hard drive.
iPhoto had been using that old external drive location to start. iPhoto is now pointed to the newly created iPhoto library in my pictures file on my MacBook Air.
Is there a way to have the restoration process point to that new iPhoto library that is now empty and not to the old external drive?

You might try this with the restored library:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed. After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work. I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder. Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore. Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.
