So that you can undo a jailbreak on your iPad – Computer Total

I have an acquaintance bought an iPad. In itself, it all works fine, but it’s jailbroken. What exactly does that mean and can I make it undone?

When you ask an “expert” what is the main difference between iOS (Apple) and Android (Google), then he / she will probably tell you that Android users are much freer to make choices than iOS. That is absolutely true, and it ensures that iOS is such a stable operating system. It is impossible that you make a mess of the interface (because you have to stick to certain rules). If you like iOS, but still want to have a bit more freedom, you can jailbreak an iPad. Lees also: 15 cozy iPad games for Christmas

iOS offers less freedom than Android, but is therefore becoming cleaner and more stable.

Why / not jailbreak?

Jailbreaking is an apt description of what the process. Namely: frees the device restrictions (prison) that Apple imposed. It means that you have more options directly. This allowed people who had jailbroken their iPad, much earlier multitasking and copy and paste text than people who were neatly to Apple’s rules. Not infrequently spiekt Apple into the possibilities that have jailbroken devices, and it offers its own later (stable) version of to. Who has a jailbroken iPad, will also get access to an alternative app store, one in which applications are not subject to Apple’s approval regime.

In short, liberty, freedom and more freedom. Ideal? Certainly not. The great strength of the iPad is that the tablet is always stable. There really is an app crashes sometimes, but you can not mess up the settings. You can not pollute your iPad and you need not be afraid of malware-like apps. Those assurances have you no longer like your jailbroken iPad. It really is not that your iPad into an unstable and dangerous tablet, jailbreak has certainly advantages. But if you want to continue to benefit from easy to retrofit, not want to hassle with unstable apps and you want do not worry about malicious apps, then jailbreak an unwise idea

Jailbreaking has advantages, but also makes your iPad or less stable.

Backup

That jailbreak you can undo. Handy for your second iPad which is jailbroken, and also useful for people who have jailbroken itself but which do not like the result. Reversing the process is fortunately not very complicated. But before you do that, it’s wise to have a reservekopie make your iPad. That goes in exactly the same way as with an iPad that is not jailbroken, so using Settings / iCloud / Backup . It is then good to know that a backup only the data secures your iPad, and so takes no information about the jailbreak. Obviously need to make a backup if you’ve purchased the iPad and just want unjailbreaken directly because you are probably no data on it

Back up your data if you already have on your iPad.

Unjailbreaken

To unjailbreaken your iPad, you have to set this first iPad in recovery mode. You do this by connecting the tablet with the Lightning cable to your PC, and then simultaneously press and hold the On / Off button and the Home button. Once it goes off, you let the on / off button, but hold down the Home button. White screen with black floral will appear and then you see a picture of an iTunes logo with a Lightning cable. This means that your iPhone is in recovery mode. Open iTunes and click on iPad restore . The latest version of iOS will be downloaded, and when it is put on your iPhone, iPad you will no longer be jailbroken.

Once in recovery mode, iTunes can easily recover your iPad so that the jailbreak is undone.
