  • Why can't i restore my new ipad-mini from my iphone?

    I have so far spent 2 hours on the phone to Apple support trying to resolve this problem. I have backed up my iphone5 onto itunes and then tried to restore that backup onto my new ipad mini but it doesn't want to know. We tried uninsalling itunes and re-installing it to no avail.
    I can restore a limited backup from icloud but it won't transfer any settings like my e-mail account details.
    Can anyone help please?

  • HT201269 I cannot restore my new ipad mini from itunes

    When trying to set up new iPad mini from iTunes backup, it does not complete and starts back on the Set Up iPad screen.

    Other than the Hotspot feautre, there is no way to connect iPad and iPhone through bluetooth, because there's nothing they can do when connected.
    I am assuming what the person at the Apple Store showed you was the Hotspot feature, in which case you need to Turn on Hotspot,  and then turn on Bluetooth.

  • How can I transfer a game (in progress) app from an iPad 2 to a new iPad mini?

    My daughter has been playing a SIM type game on my wifes iPad 2. She recently got her own iPad mini and would like to tansfer her apps to it. The guy at the apple store explained how to do this through icloud, but she lost her progress in the game.
    Is there any way to save her progress from the iPad 2 to the mini?
    Thanks.

    What you would have to do is Restore the new iPad mini using the backup for the iPad 2 whether it is on iCloud or stored in iTunes. If you created a new Apple ID for your daughter you will have to change the Store and iCloud logins after in the Settings. The mini can then be customized to it's own settings and apps and will create it's own backup.
    Should work, but I have not test this myself but is worth a try.

  • HT204053 cannot sync calendar on my new ipad mini. my mac and macbook use a .me account for iCloud. How can I change this?

    I cannot sync calendar on new ipad mini. My mac desktop and mac book have an old .me icloud account name. Cannot change that so how do I sync?

    If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe.  The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
    This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however.  If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

  • HT4859 I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

    I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

    The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
    To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes.  You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
    If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top.  On the Summary tab, click Check for Update.  You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
    After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from.  Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • I got my new iPad mini and I wrongly downloaded the wrong icloud information onto it and want to know how I change this to the correct icloud

    I wrongly downloaded the wrong icloud account onto my new iPad mini when setting it up and need to know how I can cancel this as it's already loaded on?

    Hi jillandjohn,
    Erase the device and restore it from the correct iCloud backup:
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and click on Erase All Content and Settings (this will erase your phone so you can start from scratch)
    Then follow the instructions in this article to Restore from iCloud backup:

  • HT1414 I am restoring a new iPad, using iCloud, with all my old iPads info, it is taking forever, all day and I'm still only an 8th of the way there.  Is there any way to speed up all the game down loads or is there a way to re-organize my game icons manu

    I am restoring a new iPad, iCloud, with my old iPads info, it has been downloading all day and it's only 2pages in on my game apps out of about 10 pages.  Is there a way to speed this process, or is there a way to move my icons so that the games I want are at the beginning of the line as opposed to at the end because their name is alphabetically last

    There is no way that I know of to speed up the download. Restoring from an iCloud backup will take as long as it takes in order to download all of your iPads contents. You commited to iCloud and now you have to wait until everything finishes downloading.
    This relies on your WiFi connection speed, so unless you can speed that up, you just have to wait.

    Unable to update or restore new iPad Mini 2.  Get error 3014 on two different Macs.  This is a new out of the box iPad Mini 2. Am on a managed network, but have not had this problem previously.

    First thing to do is make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

  • My brand new ipad mini is slow (retina edition)

    My new ipad mini that I just got today from the apple store is slow it has 64-bit A7 processor but it's no faster than an old ipad 2 that I have in my house. What can I do to maybe speed it up or maybe it just hasn't warmed up enough after my 3 hours of being on it.

    Have you tried just restarting the iPad mini? My coworker brought his iPad mini in today and it was slow as well. We did a hard reset and it fixed the issue.

    Once I find the back up file how do I get in onto my phone without the restrictions code going back on too?
    You don't... If you restore the backup, it will restore the restrictions passcode.
    Do you have your contacts, calendar, etc, synced to your computer? I'm not asking if you backed up, I'm asking if you synced... In other words, if you open Outlook, or Windows Address Book (I'm assuming you use a PC) are your contacts there?
    If you have not been syncing your contacts, etc, you may have to restore so that you can set up the sync, get the contact data off the phone, then set it up as a new phone again, do not restore the backup, and set up the sync with your address book.

    If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.
    Can you open web sites with Safari?
