iPad 2021 - Restore

Welcome

I'm Filumy, it's an iPad from 2021, and today I will show you how to restore your device

from a backup. So to get started, let me just kind of unplug it and give you a more adequate scenario

So most likely, the chances are you probably never plugged in your device to your computer

because nowadays there's not really much incentive to do so, but to restore it or to back it

up you will need to do so. Although, maybe to restore it, I'm not exactly sure

You could be able to back up through the device itself, so anyway

So you can use either Windows or Mac, it doesn't really matter which one you pick

And you will need a cable for that, as you can see I have one right over here. And if you're using Windows, you will need to download iTunes, and if you're using Mac

you don't actually need to do anything extra. So I plugged it in

Now on Windows side, once you launch iTunes, it will show up right over here

You can simply click on it and this will give you all the information. Now if you're using a Mac, you will need to open your Finder, so that is basically like

the Explorer on Windows. And from there you will see your iPad somewhere in the list of different directories, as you

can see, kind of like this one right over here. Now once you click on it, you will see right here basically exactly what I see in iTunes

And from here, all you really need to do is select Restore Backup

And this will give you this drop-down menu of different restores that you have available

so simply choose the one that you want. For me, I'm going to find the newest one, assuming I can

Let me quickly check what is it today. So we have September 30th

Hmm, that's interesting. I don't really see the backup that I literally created not too long ago, unless it's just

not really showing up the date on it, which is kind of annoying because I have no clue

which one it is in this case. So let's see

I'm just going to select whichever one, it doesn't really matter. So from here, I'm going to select Restore, Use New Backup, More Recent Backup

Oh, actually, there we go, it gives me a more recent one, so Use Newer Backup

That's what I'm going to select. And as you can see, it is now in progress, so just give it a minute or so

I'm not exactly sure how long it's going to take to restore it. I guess that will probably depend on how much data you're restoring to it

So if you had like basically a device full of apps, then it might take you a while, but

for me, hopefully it's not going to be that long. So let's give it a second, now it is rebooting

Well, as you can see, the process is now finished and you can set up your device however you like
