Questions about ipad backup

[Joe_wosika]

I want to backup my entire ipad to my pc; I want to backup all my apps (all the settings for each one), current settings, all the contents, even the way I have my apps organized on the main screen, everything because I need to do a reset because my ios won't update. What I want to do is a full reset to factory settings, then (hopefully) update to the latest ios version, then put all the contents back onto the ipad. Now, is this possible and if so, how should I do it? I am a pc person so my knowledge of iPads and ipad software is limited. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Yep, back-up in iTunes does all that. Make sure you run the option for manual back-up before doing any restore.

This link will show you how it's done: iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
