This is aggravating... restoring backup to iPad mini from iPad 3 doesn't restore apps

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4484316?start=0&tstart=0
I followed this, 3 times, and each time, the folders restore, the data in things like email and contacts restore, but none of my apps restore.
It's an iPad mini cellular version, if that matters. I plug in my iPad 3, right click on the device and select Back up. When it's done, I reset my mini, erasing everything, then restore from backup. Apps don't back up.
Help?

  • For the second time this week the sound on my iPad 2 doesn't work. Who has the solution for this problemen?

    For the second time this week i don't get any sound from my iPad 2. Who has the solution for this problem?

    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • HT201068 I want to ignore this update.  How do I remove it from my active list on the App Store app?

    Can I remove this update from the active list on the computer?  I don't want it active as I may by mistake install this unwanted update

    You can only hide some updates (i believe only OS X updates).  You can do so by right clicking or control clicking in the blank area around the description or title of the update in the App Store list and choosing hide update.  If you'd like to restore them, choose the Store option from the menu bar and then "show all software updates"
    you can alternatively use the Terminal to "ignore" updates and reset "ignored updates".  For more information on that open Terminal and type:

  • Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Restoring new mini from icloud backup: how do you suppress multiple itunes accounts

    I am setting up my wife's mini.  We backed up her iPad gen 3 to iCloud.  When setting up mini from icloud it askes for passwords for iTunes accounts belonging to son and daughter. They used their accounts to load apps fr me on my iPad.  I do not have their passwords.  How do I suppress the accounts on iPad so it does not try to retstore the apps they bought for me.  Thanks.

    Your title and the text in the post say two different things.
    Your title says you are restoring from an iCloud backup.
    Your post says you are doing an "iCloud installation".  Admittedly, I don't know exactly what that means.
    Please describe the exact symptom(s) you are observing, and whether whatever activity that is under way is providing evidence of proceeding.

  • Can I backup one iPad to another temporarily and then restore them both at a later time?

    My older son is autistic and is non-verbal.  He uses his iPad to communicate with people around him.  I need to put his iPad into the shop to get the screen repaired.  I have made backups of both, my iPad and his.  Can I restore my iPad using his backup to make mine look like his, so he can borrow mine while his is in the shop, and then when his is repaired, restore mine to my backup?  Both iPads are iPad 2, and both have the latest IOS.  Both are also 64 GB.
    Thank you for the help.

    If you have a computer, yes you can do that. You can't back them up to each other though.
    Using a computer (presuming you set it up with one, if you didn't then it gets trickier), back up yours. then go into the settings, reset, erase all content and settings, which puts it back to being straight out of the box. Hook his up, do a full back up. Unplug it. Plug yours back in and set yours up, and when you have the choice to set up as new or restore from backup, choose that and his data will clone onto yours.
    Take his in, when you get it back, it should be wiped, restore it from the backup of his and you can then wipe yours and restore yours from the backup
    But how are you getting it fixed? If it's going to an apple store and you're getting an out of warranty replacement, you won't need to do that because you'll take it in, pay the fee, walk out with the replacement and you can then restore that one from the backup, so you'd have no need to juggle the data.....unless you're mailing it in and it'll take a few days, etc.

  • How to retrieve videos from a restore backup on ipad

    Hi,
    I need to retrieve videos that I had restore on my ipad to my computer. After I had restore them on my computer, the videos was gone out on the ipad that I restore. So is there away I can retrieve these on my computer I did this through itunes. If the ipad was restore it should be somewhere on my hard drive computer so How can i retrieve them from the bsckup on my computer. I didn't sign up for the icloud i just did a restore on my computer with itunes. I already had an account with itunes for my ipad to sync and restore, the other ipad that I want videos to put back was not synce before so I restore it on my itunes ipad account but i do need these videos back on there ipad. I have to return this ipad back to someone. So need help! I know the videos is restore somewhere. It cant be lost. If its restore and backup it just can't be lost.
    Thanks
    Help me ASAP!

    If you are saying that you hadn't backed up that iPad to your computer's iTunes then you won't have a backup of it with which to try and restore back to the iPad.
    If you did backup the iPad then what app were the videos in ? If they were in the Videos app then they won't be included in a backup anyway, so restoring won't copy them back. If the iPad was never synced to your computer then presumably you won't have those videos in the Movies or TV Shows sections of your iTunes library which you could then sync back to the iPad (?).
    If they were taken with the iPad and were in the Photos app then if you took a backup of that iPad then they should be in that backup - in which case restoring to that backup to the iPad should put them back on the iPad.

  • Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

    Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so.  Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards.  I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me.  that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer.  I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

    Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?

    Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?

  • HT4623 I don't know what has happened but the update didn't work and now it asks me to restore the iPad. I don't know whether I should as i'm too scared it will delete everything i had on my iPad. What should i do if i did backup my iPad before the update

    So i have a serious problem regarding the iOS update on my iPad 4 and i don't know whether i should restore it because i'm scared it will loose all the data.

    You are saying that you DID backup your iPad so there should be no worries at all. After you restore the iOS, you can restore from the backup - and sync with iTunes, if you are using iTunes - and you should be fine. If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the screen, you are in recovery mode.
    Read this for more information.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple
    If you didn't backup your iPad, there is nothing that you can do about it now. You will lose everything when you restore. You can add you purchased content back to the device using the purchased tabs in all of the iStores or you can sync your content back to the iPad if you use iTunes.
    No matter what, you have to restore if you want to be able to use your iPad again.

  • Impossible to do backup of iPad mini

    Hello,
    I have a problem: from today I can't backup my iPad mini.
    I've tried and it appears this messagge
    The message tell me that the backup is damaged or not compatible.
    Somebody can help me?
    Thanks

    I don't know about possible, but it doesn't seem practical.
    Wouldn't your database backups already be backing up packages and procedures? Assuming the source code is checked into some sort of version control system, that would also seem like an appropriate backup.
    Beyond that, you can certainly use your favorite job scheduler to generate an export of the database structure (i.e. excluding data) on whatever schedule you choose.

    Did you have iCloud photo stream turned on for photos?  If you did, then you can view your photos at iCloud.com.  If you can verify that they are all there, you can do the factory reset.  Once you turn on iCloud again after the reset, the photos won't be on the phone but they will still be in the photo stream which you can view on the device.  You should be able to copy the photos down to the computer from iCloud.  On an Apple Mac computer, iPhoto can view photo stream and you can download photos there too.
    Personally, with syncing issues with iTunes, I prefer to use an app called PhotoSync (which is an app in the App Store, Mac App Store, and available from the developer's website for Windows PC's.  This App (once turned on for both devices) lets you send photos back and forth within wifi.

  • Recently backing up my ipad onto my macbook, which is the backup server for all of my gadgets.  This includes all my photos and tons of music.  The macbook said it could not backup the ipad because there was insufficient disc space to do so. What now?

    I have a macbook operating OSX10.6.7.  Recently backing up my ipad which had lots of photos from a recent vacation.  I use this laptop as the backup server for all of my gadgets so it has thousands of photos and tons of music.  It just told me that it couldn't back up the ipad bc there wasn't enough disc space.  I was afraid that this would happen eventually.  What next?  Newer laptop with more space?  I'm not sure what files I could sacrifice to free up more space as most of these are important.

    What size hard drive do you have in your MacBook? The cheapest options are, a larger internal hard drive, or an external drive. Or you could get a cheap desktop PC and network to it for storage. I've got one that lives in the hall with 3 Terabytes (That's 3000gb) of storage.
