Indeed. It doesn't happen by accident, and it's their fault they did not transfer or backup the old iTunes data (it sounds like). -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. |

It WAS migrated by someone much more capable than I, but I did something wrong on the backup attempt. The point is someone (you or your "more capable" helper) caused your data to be erased from the iPad by answering "yes" to the question "This will delete all data from your iPad. Are you sure?" It's not something that just happens on its own. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR |

It WAS migrated by someone much more capable than I, but I did something wrong on the backup attempt. You should be able to restore your iOS device from the automatic backups, using iTunes. Please note, your iPad must be physically plugged into the computer, from which you are attempting to perform the restore. In iTunes on your computer, using the full size window, select you iOS device, displayed the the top of the window. It's going to be a small icon, just to the right of the icons for music, videos, etc. In the Summary, there's an option to restore your iOS device, where you want to click Restore Backup. If your backups exist in your iCloud account, your documents, music and photos will not be restored, as only basic things like system files and preferences are being backed up remotely. If you've been backing up your iOS device to your computer, everything should be restored, including your documents, music, photos, apps and the like. See https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/12.1/index.html?localePath=en.lproj#/itns3280 If worse comes to worse, you may be able to restore you iPad, using iTunes on your old Mac, then performing whatever updates need to be made so that it will cooperate with OS X 10.10.x. If, on the other hand, you haven't backed up your device, you're going to have to start from scratch. While I hadn't noticed earlier, iOS 8.3 update is available. It includes security updates. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 Please note, not one of your self inflicted issues has anything to do with running OS X 10.10.x.
