Ok looks like, I need to replace this.


I just tried restoring it and its not restoring my apps and settings, etc.

Now im getting more furious.


I would be fine for a week, with my old data and settings, until I take it to the Apple store.

But this is ridiculous.



Before clicking on RESTORE, I clicked on BACKUP and the iPad backup is saved.



Then I restored it.

Now when it starts after the restore, its only showing pictures backup restored and no other apps or games or settings, etc.

**** IT!



Why is this ?


Why is it not restoring it completely from that new backup ?


Im always selecting that backup to restore from, but then also, its getting stuck .


How can I restore it the right way ?

I would agree that your best bet is goin to the Apple store. As far as you earlier post in concerned. Do you have the Sim card Active or no? This situation reminds me of my iphone. Everytime I turned it on I had a screen blocking me from using it telling me that it could find a network which was because I had turned off the phone and was using only in wifi. I switched it to airplane mode and everything worked fine. AS far as not restoring properly. Ther is is always a chance that the ipad has a defect that goes with the whole retail experiance. But as long as you bought it less then a year ago it is fully covered and under the automatic 1 year warrenty. I would say try not get so upset it is frustrating dealing with something that you don't know how to fix but Apple is really good with their warrenties and I'm sure they will help you out. Don't get to mad and damage the ipad or you could void the warrent, be patiant. I know how irrittitating it can be when you shell out that kind of doe and the darn thing craps out on you. I've had that happen with other things but like I said Apple is good with thier warrenties.

This was the fix .... Thanks to Kosolpon for the solution.


Try to...

1. Open "Settings" -> "Brightness & Wallpaper"

2. Turn off "Auto-Brightness"

3. Bring "Brightness Slider" to lowest position (left)

4. Turn "Airplane Mode" to "On" then chang to "Off" for solve the "No Sim" promblem.

5. Change the "Brightness Slider" and "Auto-Brightness" to origanal setting.
