Q: iPad restore

I have recently bought an iPad Air to replace my iPad 3. Trying to restore it, but for some reason it seems to have stopped working. What will happen if I click on "stop restore"? I don't know what else to do to move this iPad along.

iPad, iOS 7.1

    Hi PatriciaTheStripper,

     

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

     

    The length of time needed to restore from a backup can vary depending on the size of the backup. For more information and troubleshooting tips, see this article:

    The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process may need 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.

    If the restore did not complete, you may want to "stop restore" and restart your iPad Air before trying again:

    All the best,
