Data can be recovered if (and only if) you backed up your iPad before its demise.

Dead iPad Mini 1 - Recovering data My iPad Mini 1 (well I'm pretty sure its a 1) has given up on me. It refuses to charge, I've accepted it, its a good 5 years old, Apple products are not known for their longevity. I've just got a new iPhone, restored my iCloud data only to find 20 photos, and a few notes are backed-up, out of around 1,000 pictures and other videos and files. Obviously I don't want to lose all the pictures, so is there anyway I can recover the data from my iPad, without switching it on, and without iCloud? A friend told me there was a way using iTunes, but I can't remember exactly what he said. Cheers (:

How do I know if my iPad has been completely erased ? I will be trading in my old iPad as soon as the trade-in kit arrives. So I erased the old iPad to the best of my ability. This chat is simply to find out if there’s a way to verify that my old iPad is completely empty of all my files? thx
