Q: recovering deleted files

I have 2 Ipads and one Iphone.

 

Yesterday I delete numbers files from one of the ipads as I wish to give the ipad to my wife.

 

Brainless as I was, I found out this morning, that the files have been deleted on ALL IOS MASHINES!!!

 

Is there any chance to recover those files?

    The only thing I can think of to try is a restore if you have the device backed up. I'm not entirely sure that iWork documents are part of a back up.

     

    Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

    Backing up the files to the cloud sounds fine. This is what I am doing every night.

     

    Question is how can I retrieve files that have been backed up 2 days ago?

    Not at all sure, I don't use iCloud back up and have never tried restoring from it.

    "Frank", a little bit late reply but hope you can still hear. ^^ 

    The fact is there might be another way to recover your lost iPad files via iTunes on your Mac machine. This iPad Data Recovery is able to extract & restore iTunes backup files for your lost iPad data. Not too many Mac users know that each time you sync data between your iDevice (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and iTunes, all previous records will be backed up by iTunes automatically and saved as (.sqlitedb) files.  Hope this helps take your stress out.  Best regards.
