iPad Forum Nug (New Guy)

I've had my iPad2 for a year and just this week updated the IOS for the first time and realized that I needed this forum. I updated from 4.3 something to 6.0 and lost all of my apps and had to find and reload them. That was fun! But I am still missing some things that didn't restore, like YouTube. So I joined the forum and will be relying on you all for answers to my deepest questions. BTW, I am a 60 something female AF retiree and describe myself as a Writer, Shaman, Wanderer, Crone, and Snappy Dresser.
