SYNCH wiped out ipad content

Synched new mini ipad with home computer, loaded it with books, music, etc.
Now I tried synch with a laptop (yes, installed itunes on laptop) and it WIPED out everything from the Ipad and I can't find any trace of it on the laptop.
I'm on a 3 month trip. How can I restore ipad's content?
Thank you.

By default, ipad can only be synced with one itunes library at a time. If you try to sync your ipad to another computer you will recieve the following message:
the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"
In the absence of having access to your home computer, your options are to either download the content again or if you have an icloud backup, restore the ipad from that. Or wait till you get home.
If you have icloud set up, you can restore your ipad via an available backup in icloud. Go settings/genreral/reset/erase all content and settings, and restore from backup. You'll need a good wifi connection for this.

Synch wiped out all my outlook 2007 contacts

I had to have a hard reset done on my phone. When I did the first synch between my phone & my computer all my contacts were wiped out of my outlook except for 39. Those were the only ones that went to the phone also.
What happened & how do I fix this? HELP!!!!! I have a back-up of my contacts, but I am nervous that something is wrong with the synch settings.

Have IPhone 4S with 1000 photos that I need to download FROM IPHONE PHOTO LIBRARY to a SanDisk since I nuked my photos on PC. Icloud sysc and sync to PC didi not work and wiped out IPAD Photos.

Question on how to download photos from IPhone 4S to backup SanDisk - nuked files on 1) camera SansDisk and camera download to PC which IPhone and IPad was synced to. When I synced IPad to PC it wiped out all photos so down to just one backup on IPhone.

This helped to know it is one-way and that is why my IPad got nuked. Is there any software you are aware of that can download or transfer photo albums, not camera rolls or those taken by iphone, toa disc? there are apps on itunes that I tr5ied but only worked on camera rolls or phtos take with iphone. I have over 1,000 photos and do not want to make 1,000 emails of redueced size photos that loses original jpg date and data.

IPod has "frozen" and wiped out; iPod software "null" on iMac

I connected our older iPod to my Mac the other night. While it is usually synced with iTunes my wife's "side" of the computer, I tried to load my iTunes library onto the iPod. It seemed to be working, but then froze. Although the message on the iPod was "Do not disconnect," I disconnected it. That seemed to have wiped out the contents on the iPod, as well as the iPod software on the Mac. Now when I hook up the iPod to the Mac, the image on the iPod is a disk with a circling magnifying glass. And, I also noticed on the Mac console that all of my prior iPod software updates now have a (null) designation after the task. I assume that means that the programs have been deleted.
How can I get up and running again? Thanks.

Anyone else have this issue? Any luck resolving it? It just happened to mine today. I went to turn it on and all I get is "Wheel Test."
I can't get a menu. I can't even turn it off. Toggle does nothing. I tried to reset, but the computer doesn't recognize that it is even connected. I don't know if it is taking a charge or not.
I've never had a problem or unhappy face on the mini before. Any suggestions?

New update wiped out my Ipad 2

I just connected my Ipad 2 to my Macbook for the first time in a while, and it said there was a new Ipad update, so I agreed to install.
It appears to have wiped out everything on my Ipad, and won't recognize Itunes on the Macbook for restoring things.
Anyone know what happened and how to get my Ipad back?
Thanks

If all of the content is in your iTunes library on the Mac - you should be able to sync and put all of that content back onto the device. First you have to solve the recognition problem.
Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.

If you are running Snow Leopard 10.6 ....

I want to take remote access from an iTunes library off of my iPad ...when I hit edit from the remote app it pulls that library up ..if I delete it I just want to make sure that I'm not remotely wiping out the library, just access to it from my iPad ?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

IMac and iPad sync with cloud no problems, iTouch with OSi4.2.1 is now wiped out, how do I sync contacts and mail?

I am not a happy mac user at the moment. I have a new ipad OSi 5.0 works fine with my two Lion systems. I have an iPod touch with OSi 4.2.1 I was trying to sync my calender, mail and contacts. It did the mail and calender but it wiped out my contacts. I not only want them back, I want them synced with the other systems. I should not have to buy a new touch to get this to work!
I would be happy to upgrade the OSi if it was an option!

You can't actually delete an iCloud account but you can remove it by signing out at System Preferences>iCloud if it is the promary account, or in Mail, Contacts & Calendars if the secondary, and then juste ignore it.
The Blackeberry can only sync with data held under 'On My Mac'. iCloud can only sync with data under 'iCloud'.
When you set up iCloud your calendars and contacts were moved to the iCloud server. If you want to use Blackberry you will have to move them back to 'On My Mac' and not sync with iCloud: it's one or the other.
To move calendars, follow the second set of numbered instructions here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
To move contacts, File>Export as vCard when you have selected all your contacts, then delete the contacts under iCloud, make 'On My Mac' the default and reimport the vCard.

While doing the backup via iTune, my contacts in iPhone AND iPad have been completely wiped out. They are still all available on my Address Book on my Mac. Any idea what happened and how to resolve this ?

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

IPad wiped out after trying to install OS6

I just tried to install OS6 on my iPad 2 from the latest iTunes version. I went away and came back to find that the update has failed, and my iPad's firmware seems to have been completely wiped out. It is stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen, and my itunes will not see it !! I have no idea how to restore it. Has anyone come across this problem ?

Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
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

How do I remove a movie from my IPad? It is not listed in my library so I can't synch it out.

How do I remove a mover from my IPad. It does not show in my library so I can't synch it out.

You can delete from ipad and just leave movie un-ticked in iTunes, if it is one you have downloaded from iStore then I believe that you can't delete but you can hide, then it's available to download again, but I only use movies from my PC.

I updated my software on my ipad, and it wiped out all my calendar entries. Is there a way to retrieve them? My planner is my life and I am feeling totally lost!!!!!

Please Help!! When I updated my Ipad2 it wiped out all of my calendar entries. Is there a way to retrieve them? I have looked in Icloud and itunes and am not finding the calendar there, as it comes on the ipad and is not an app.

Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup.

All the data on my Ipad3 is wiped out. is it possible to delete all the data from my ipad if somebody knows icloud-ID and password

All the data on my Ipad3 is wiped out. is it possible to delete all the data from my ipad if somebody knows icloud-ID and password

It sounds like a remote erase was sent via 'Find My Mac', to check please go to www.icloud.com and login. Is there any data there?
If it was a remote erase only someone who had the ID and password could have done it. And in that case the data is gone, it is not recoverable I'm afraid.
