Retrieve backed up bookmarks on Ipad

Hi!
So recently I backed up my ipad on the PC. Then restored original settings and the back up as well. I don't set my ipad to sync because I prefer to manually manage most of the stuff -- and use the back up function instead.
However, while I can retrieve most of the apps and podcasts, my ipad bookmarks are missing! Have done a lot of research on the net and most of them say that the ipad safari bookmarks should be automatically backed up when I back up the ipad in itunes. Has not happened for me though.
Am not worried about the contacts and calendars coz I just set those to sync with gmail. But can't do that with the ipad safari bookmarks.
Help, anyone know how I can get my bookmarks back?

That is the wrong profile folder and only stores the cache files.
You need the profile folder part in AppData\Roaming to get the main profile folder files.

  • How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks on my ipad ?

    How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks from my ipad ?

    See if this gets them back.
    Quit Safari completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus  sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
    I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

  • How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

    I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1,  and installed Icloud.  This is where the problems all began.
    Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar  events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all.  Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
    If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere?  I just wanna go home !  Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

    Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
    Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
    As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one. 

  • How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
    To make sure do this:
    1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
    2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
    3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
    4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
    5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
    6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
    7. ENJOY your new iPad
    ----------OR-----------
    1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
    2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
    3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
    4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
    ****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
    ****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
    ****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
    LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
    AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!!

  • HT201272 I had Pages and many documents associated with it on my generation 1 ipad. I just got an ipad Air. I downloaded Pages to my new ipad but all my documents are gone. How do I go about getting them back. My old ipad was backed up to my computer.

    I am trying to locate my old documents from my generation 1 ipad. I downloaded Pages to my ipad Air but my documents are gone. I did back up my old ipad to my computer but I didn't restore my back up to the new ipad. I wanted to start fresh. How do I go about getting just my Pages documents from that backup and by the way, how do I access that back up?

    You will need to restore the backup - just downloading the app from the store won't give you its contents from a preivous device, you will need to restore the whole backup onto your new iPad (which will replace its current contents) to get the app's content.

  • I went on a trip and when I came back almost all my ipad apps were gone(I suspect my dad). When I went to go look at my account it was as the same as the ipad, it had none of my other games on there. How do I get my account back to how it was

    I kind of ran into the same issue when I checked my purchased apps on my iPad in the iTunes store.  A bunch were not there.  I then looked at iTunes on my computer and again, a bunch were missing.  I realized I had not synched in quite a while.  Once I synched everything was ok.  As the poster above said, iTunes knows you have already purchased them so you can redownload for free.  However, be aware that when you do red own load you will be asked to pay again, just say ok and the next popup will say that you have already purchased the app.
    Lesson I learned - synch more often.  Boy, I can't wait for IOS5......

  • How do I FTP files from a security camera to iCloud so they can be retrieved back to my MacBook Pro whenever I connect when travelling?

    How do I FTP files from a security camera to iCloud so they can be retrieved back to my MacBook Pro whenever I connect when travelling?
    Russ

    Do you want to watch the live feed of your secutiry cameras or recorded footage?
    In either case, I don't think iCloud is your solution.
    For the first one, check with your security camera software, they usually have this option of broadcasting, so you'll know how to access it.
    For the later, you should use something like Dropbox (www.dropbox.com), since iCloud file sharing is, up to this date, app restricted.
    Hope it helps.

  • I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I backed up my broken ipad, returned it to Apple got it replaced and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up.  how do I get previous copy of my back up??

    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 can I retrieve deleted videos from my iPad 2?

    How can I retrieve deleted videos from my iPad 2?

    Did you backup your device after you took the video but before you deleted it?  If so, restore your device with that backup.  If not, then there's no way to retrieve that video.

  • My 12" powerbook logics card crashed. I have a 17". How do i retrieve my internet bookmarks from the 12" by putting it into Target mode on the 12" and looking into the hard drive on the 12"?

    My 12" powerbook logics card crashed. I have a 17". How do I retrieve my internet bookmarks from the 12" by putting it into Target mode on the 12" and looking into the hard drive on the 12"? Where on the 12" hard drive do I go to search for them?

    If the 12's logic board is trashed, I don't think you can get into FireWire Target Disk Mode. The computer has to start to get to FWTDM. Will it starte and run at all?
    If it won;t start, you will have to go inside and extract the hard drive. Then get this gadget:
    Newer Technology Universal Drive Adapter USB 3.0/2.0 - connects any 2.5", 3.5" or 5.25" drive
    It allows you to connect a bare drive to another computer that has USB. It will act just like an external disk drive. Assuming the 12's drive is not damaged due to the LB failure, you can retrieve files quickly.
