I dropped my iPad, did so much damage and I searched for a way to recover my files! Thank God I found a software that truly works! Downloaded the trial version and did the scan and surprise! My files were there ready to be recovered. Thank you, thank you!
I'm not sure if it's because of water damaged since my iPad won't work anymore after I ran through the rain. Haven't really had the time to get it repaired so I came across here while searching alternative solution. I have some files I really need to recover from that iPad. I'm certain I did a backup on iTunes. I will try your software and hopefully it works. Well, I'm pretty positive that it will! Thanks!
How stupid of me to leave my iPad when a kid's playing around and spilled his milk on my iPad! Frustrating! I downloaded the trial version of Dr.Fone. It looks so easy to use and is such a big help. Thanks! I'm now ready to download full version for full recovery.
Just download the free trial version to have a try first before recovery.
I saw this and I said is that even possible!? As I read on, I have a smile in my face because I can now finally recover my files in my iPad! I spilled soda on my iPad due to my carelessness. Poor me. I'm not that tech savvy so I'm not sure what to do. It was my son who backed up my files to iTunes. I'll ask him to visit this page which I'm going to bookmark now and install the needed software to do it. Thanks a lot!
