How do I restore data from my stolen I pad? How do I restore it to my new I pad?
My I pad was stolen. I bought a new one recently and I want to restore my data from iCloud. How do Ido it?

Were you making backups to icloud? If you had backups turned on, then when you activate your new device, you should be given the choice to perform a restore from an icloud backup.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

HOWEVER... you may run into a snag, namely when the newly restored data is downloaded, an automatic icloud sync may occur that will wipe out any Apple data (contacts, calendars, etc) that was restored. If you have such an issue, read the following that describes restoring contacts. The info will also pertain to other Apple data.
