Is there a way to view the history of accounts on an iPad. Afterthe iPad is formatted , is the data still out there or is it gone forever?

I formattted my iPad . I would like to log in to the account I had before the formatting since I had bought many games and apps on it . The problem is that a long time has passed , and I forgot what my account was . So, is there a way to view the history of the accounts on the iPad or the history of downloads . If we connect it to a laptop , is there an app that could solve my problem ?By the way, I hadn't backed up my iPad before the formatting .

You can't see a history of accounts that have been used on a device.

Are you still logged into the account anywhere (e.g. iPod Touch, iPhone) so that you can look it up ? Or do you have any of the account's downloads in your computer's iTunes library so that you can do 'get-info' on them and see the id ? If not have you tried : If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support ?

I only had that account on my iPad . Would "I forgot my Apple ID" help if I forgot both email and password ?

If you can't remember your email account it might be difficult. Could you still be logged into the account anywhere ? Or have any of the account's purchases in your computer's iTunes library ?
