Updated my ipad to the iOS 6.1.3, only apps, music and videos were restored?! HELP!!

I don't know if this is a stupid or noob problem, but I did the update and everything, then after it restored from my back up, i opened to see my ipad in factory settings?! I finished the setup and all, and then i saw all my apps not in the folders that they were meant to be in, no app data, no camera roll photoes, no background images and passcodes. So my ipad was pretty much restored and backed up onky with apps, music and videos. Nothing else!! In previous update+backup restores, the ipad just goes back to how it was before being updated, with everything in place like how it was originally. Later I also tried restoring again, form an earlier backup, but that did not work either. Someone please tell me what happened!!

Is this how the restore goes?

Ever since updating my iPad with the iOS 8 and 8.0.2 it has been much slower in every way. Any suggestions besides restoring to last iOS?

Hi Arianelleangel,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If you are having issues trying to update your Aunt's iPad, the troubleshooting steps below may help:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
Update does not complete
If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
I hope this information helps ....

HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update

Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update.please help

If you have an iPad 1G you cannot run iOS 7. If you are currently using iOS 4.x.x then you cannot upgrade OTA. Instead do this:
Give this a try:
Download Apple – iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.

Check the Restrictions settings and see if "installing apps" has been inadvertently turned on.

I got my New iPad in the mail yesterday. I imported my photos and videos to make a short movie. The photos had lost all their original quality. Is there any way to import photos without losing quality?

If you mean "optimizing for iPad," no.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

Have you tried resetting your ipad?

No data will be lost.

I updated my ipad with the IOS 6 but now the itunes in my computer (itunes 10.6.1) doesn´t recognizes it and I can´t upgrade to the last itunes because my computer has OS 10.5.8. Any ideas? Is there a way to download the itunes 10.6.3?

Please Help! Since I upgrade the ipad with the IOS6 I haven´t been able to sync the ipad with the computer. When I connect the two objects a popup itunes text box appears saying that in order to recognize the ipad I need itunes 10.6.3 or later. But I can´t find that version to download, I just find the latest version of itunes, 10.7, and for that one my computer doesn´t meets the operating system requirements.

If your iMac is an Intel CPU model, you can upgrade the OS to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Then use software update to update 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10,6.8.
Then you can run the latest iTunes to sync your iPad running iOS 6
You can purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Ask for retail software sales and purchase a copy of 10.6 for $19.99 plus shipping.

I tried to update my iPad 2 to ios 5. It starts out fine and once its done, it tells me the network connection timed out and that I should try again, even thought I have internet. How do I update my iPad without it doing that?

I need help updating my iPad to ios 5, without it telling me that the network connection timed out.

You can download the correct iOS upgrade manually to your computer and then apply it to your iPad using the iTunes app on your computer. After you have downloaded the correct upgrade press the Option/Alt key and click on the Check for Update button in the iTunes app. Browse to the file on your computer, select it and iTunes will do the rest to install it.

HT1386 When I update my IPad to the IOS 5 system will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITunes store?

I have an IPad 2. I want to update it to an IOS 5. Will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITune store?

What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - so make sure you backup first. If something goes awry when you update, with regard to apps, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
Transfer purchases.

Tried updating my iPad mini to iOS 8, it went into recovery mode and when I try to update then restore it on iTunes it says the download will last 300 HOURS and then it says something like "Connection failed"?

I tried uppdating my ipad then it went into recovery mode. I thought "oh no problem, my phone has done this before". So, I hooked it up to iTunes and started to restore/update it, but when the update began, it said it would take 24 hours to download. Already abnormal. Then, the number kept rising higher and higher until it got to 300 HOURS. Then, once it reaches a certain 300, it says "connection failed. please check to see that you have a working connection or try again later" or something like that. So, my iPad is now stuck in recovery mode and I can't exactly talk to people now. What do I do?

Hello aZaa4401
Sorry to hear about your issue. I would start your troubleshooting with the article below to check to settings of your computer to make sure your connection is good to the iTunes Store.

I am unable to remove imported photos from the iPad. The red delete button does not come up and synching did not help. Any ideas

I am unable to delete photos that have been imported from a camera. The red delete button does not appear and synching with the photos ticked and then unticked does not work either. I have also tried attaching the iPad to the PC and looking for the photos using windows file management. However the only photos that I can find are those taken by the iPad itself. I am confused about why something that should be simple is not.

If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.
