iPad locked up

WPA

I would have to go somewhere to be able to do the first part and seriously HOPE the second part is not what I have to do as I would lose too many things.

I just wish I had been advise, way back in the beginning, about the BACKUP capability to my computer but that now is not even an option since it has never been backed up.

Tks anyway

Just came across something that I do not have any idea of how it works. when I click the "Reset" button to take the iPad to manufacturers default condition, it tells me that there are item that are not in the library. I have been working through everything I can think of but unable to determine exactly what it is talking about though I did find a couple of items (eBooks) that indicate they are not in the library. The next thing would even if I could find them all, HOW do it get them into the library?

Right now, that is the only thing holding me back from doing the "reset to" operation after I finally figured out that this is only for the DATA and has nothing to do with the operating system. Reason for this confusion is the backup capability (Time Machine) inherent on my iMac that I THOUGHT was the model for all backup capabilities but evidently that is not true anymore.

I had already figured that out but since I had never KNOWN about it I have no idea of how to invoke it to "save" a file/game/ebook INTO the library.

That being aside, Finally bit the bullet and did a total reset (Restore iPad) which took a while even with 1000mb WiFi capability. However, found out that the Restore data required me to update all the apps I had downloaded to my iPad PLUS add my eBooks in separately just because I had "saved" them from iPad to Library rather than saved them to the Library at download which I did not even know about.

Everything back to "normal" as can be on both my devices. i.e. iMac internal HD "restored" from external device and iPac up and running again.

Tks to all who helped on both devices.
