Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas.  It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode.  I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen.  I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

  • We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

    I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
    Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
    Thank you!

    Here's an update:
    Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

I am getting so angry woth apple things, the make it sound better than it is and over pice it, i paid over a grand for my imac and it dont even come with a cd SLOT. Please can some one help!

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • IPhone 3G won't connect to wifi, it's been connected before but now it won't work, the iTouch connects with no problem, it's just the phone. I've tried resetting it, updating it, and everything and still no luck.

    I have a iPhone 3G that is running 3.1 and about 2 days ago, it was fine, connecting to wifi and everything. But now, it won't even find any networks? I've tried going to public places (I.E. McDonald's) and other places that have free wifi, and it can't detect the wifi, Why won't my phone find my home wifi now? I've tried resetting the network settings, I've reset the entire phone, i've done about everything all the other posts talked about. Anyone else got an idea?

    I have, yes. I've been shutting it down by holding the sleep/wake key and the home button, aswell. Then I go in and reset network settings and I just get back to it not finding any wifi around. It has the little searching sign, but it just keeps going with nothing showing up.

  • Trying to activate a new 5c but won't connect to wifi

    I am in the beginning stages of activing a new 5c. However when I try to connect to wifi or the cellular network it doesn't connect. I also cannot get into the settings for the phone because it has not been activated yet. I also cannot install itunes on my work computer to activate it that way. Any help?

  • My iphone 4s won't connect to wifi but other people's do

    I have a new iphone 4S and it won't connect to the wi fi at our home.  Other people in my family have iphones or nexus and they all will connect.
    I enter the password and the wireless symbol appears for a second but then it says unable to connect.
    I have no trouble connecting to other wifis in other locations.
    Thanks in advance, it is getting very frustrating.!!!

    Just had this same problem I went to the apple store today and they told me my wifi card was out and then gave me a new phone but I backed it up and it's not working again so they said one of my apps might have a virus that is interfering with my wifi so it's back to apple again tomorrow They said they will give me another new phone but I will have to set it up as new and will probably lose everything except the contacts that I have backed up so if I were you I would back up your pics and everything else in iCloud

  • Re: Iphone 6 won't connect to wifi .. Says incorrect password which is not true. Ideas???

    FIXED!!!! I have been struggling with this for MONTHS!!! Nothing has worked.. Reset Network Settings - NO, Reboot Router - NO, Update to latest IOS - NO, Reboot iPhone - NO, Forget This Network - NO, Stand on one foot - NO. Here is the fix you have been waiting for: Log into your wifi router and disable WMM Power Save. I have been able to recreate the problem again and again. Turn WMM Power Save on and same old iPhone wifi problems. Disable it and viola'. it's been a long road but it's good to finally be at the end of it.

    This also seems to have fixed my issue - at least temporarily.
    More info
    ASUS RT-AC66R running with both 5 and 2.4 antennas on - WEP2 password with lots of characters.
    My phones (5s and 6) both worked fine until 8.1.1 update, then failed completely to connect to most networks for a couple of weeks.  After 8.3 update, they would connect to most networks, but still had issues with my home network, even after a reboot and wiping all network settings.
    disabling WMM (which rebooted router, as well) on 5ghz fixed the issue for BOTH 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands (which doesn't make any sense)
    on the ASUS, located in wireless > professional > Enable WMM APSD
    Good luck

  • IPhone 5 won't connect to wifi since update to iOS7-says incorrect password. It seems to have forgotten the password to two wifi locations I use daily. When I enter the passwords manually, I get message "Incorrect password for ......(network name)"

    I reviewed another post on the support community that initally appeared to cover this topic. That question was replied to, and the person was referred to apple support pages that detail how to get one's iphone to link with wifi (turn off device, reboot router, go to iphone settings->wifi->click "i" next to your problem network and select "forget this network").... How do I select "forget this network"- it's not even an option (maybe it would be IF I could get the iPhone to connect to the network, but then I wouldn't need this question answered...)
    I have multiple other computers (Macbook Air, iMac 2011, and PCs), as well as new iPad (also recently updated to iOS7) and my wife's iPhone 4S (running iOS6), all of which have no problem connecting to our networks (and no access passwords have been changed). Only my iPhone 5 seems to be left out in the cold. The iPhone 5 "finds" the networks, but will not accept correct access passwords as "correct", therefore cannot actually connect to password-secured wi-fi networks (at least the two I use daily- therefore I assume this problem would follow me elsewhere I might attempt to access a PW-protected network such as WPA/WPA2, etc).
    Any ideas where to turn next, or is anyone else having similar problems? Thank you-

    Hi, Troy5. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection.  The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • My ipod touch isnt connect to wifi even though it used too. this just randomly happened out of no where.

    my ipod is being mean and not connecting to my wifi. this just happened one day out of the blue. its so very irritating!

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Yu will have to reenter network passwords.

  • I reset my ipod touch and now it says to conect to iTunes and im on my computer and the ipod is pluged up but its still not working HELP please!!!

    HELP MEEE!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have a invalid iTunes code and have tried every possible combination and it is still not working help

    Please help!!

    You need to turn the phone off and leave it in dry rice for 3-5 days. Then, plug it in and charge it for about 15 minutes and then try to turn it on. If it doesn't work at that point, it will be time to get a new phone.

  • Iphone won't connect to wifi due to incorrect password,even though it is correct! Help?

    So my Iphone 4s has been having problems with the no service error now and again so I decided to reset the network settings to try and fix it. Now since this reset,my iphone refuses to connect to wifi even though the password I'm entering is 100% correct!  I keep getting the 'Incorrect password error'.
    I've resetted the router and reset the wifi network, rebooted my phone,performed a hard reset but there is still no fix
    I have many other devices connected to my wifi without any problems. 3 computers, an ipad, android tablet and other iphone.
    My phone is jailbroken on 6.1.2 so I don't want to have to restore my phone.
    My phone will connect to wifi with wifiFoFum but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it disconnects so its rather annoying!
    I hope you can help

    Well are you absolutely certain you know your password.  This is a risky troubleshooting step because it could kind of make the situation worse, you should try to forget the network on your computer and really make sure you can enter your password again on another device.
    It might just be a capital letter or something that is tripping you up. 
    If you are having an actually wifi hardware issue it doesn't pop up with an error about an incorrect password.  Theres other errrors for that.  Incorrect password errors only pop up because there is an issue with the password

  • What is the font Apple uses for the time and date on the lock screen in iOS 7?

    I can't find the answer on Google. What is the font Apple uses for the time and date on the lock screen in iOS 7?

    This font. It's weird, it looks different when viewing the screenshot on my iMac, than it does on my iPod touch. Probably because of the retina screen of the iPod.
