Does restoring the ipad again and again effect its hard drive?
iPad, iOS 6.1.3
The iPad has flash-memory not a hard-drive, and no, it won't be affected.
Is there a reason why you want to keep restoring it e.g. are you having problems that somebody on here might be able to help with ?
No, there's no such reason. I was asking because i restored it thrice within 3 days because of ios 7. But now I downgraded it back to ios 6.1.3 from ios 7. Now works as fine as ever. No more restoring after that.
Just can you assure it didnt effect my flash memory?
Thanks for your help!
It won't affect the flash memory.
