HUGE problems downgrading software
After attempting to downgrading my ipad's software from 8.3 to 8.2, 26 of my apps were deleted and replaced with unnamed folders. The rest were left alone. After attempting to redownload them from the app store, they (strangely) began to download into the exact same slots in the exact same folders as they were before. Then, every app froze at about ⅔ complete, and so I restarted my iPad. Huge mistake. Now my messages and contacts and mail are blank. So I tried to restore my last backup, from 5:18. Now, every app on my iPad that isn't an undeletable app built into the system opens for a second, displays the opening screen, then crashes. I did try to use iFunbox to add some patterns to Golly, which I don't know if that could have caused an issue. iFunbox was the whole reason I wanted to downgrade in the first place. Using iTunes on a macbook running yosemite. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
