How can I reset a locked ipad that doesn't react anymore?

Hey guys!
i have a problem:
Yesterday all of a sudden my iPad didn't work properly anymore. At first it was flashing ins stripes with different colours. I tried to fix it by shutting the iPad down, but since it was flashing to much it was not possible to click on "shut down". Therefore i just locked it.
After a while I wanted to try again, but as i pressed the home button, the screen got a little lighter, but it didn't turn completely on. (The screen was almost black and you couldn't see any buttons or anything else). And now it even stays completely black and doesn't react to anything anymore.
I wanted to reset the iPad to get to know if it's a hardware or a software problem, but it is locked with a code and since it's not reacting anymore i can't enter it.
By now I've also never synchronised my iPad with my computer.
What can I do? Does anyone have an advice for me?
How can I reset my iPad without entering the Code in the iPad itself?
Thank you for your help everybody!

Hopefully you should be able to reset your iPad, therefore try this: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
The Apple logo ought to appear after about 10 seconds.
If you don't see the Apple logo, then this could be bad news.
Normally, the following instructions will resolve a forgotten passcode:

But if you can't see anything on the screen, then it's bad news again.
If you have never synced your iPad with iTunes nor with iCloud, then you won't have a backup of your iPad either. Yes, more bad news, because the data on your iPad is most likely lost.
Try to get at least some life back into your iPad in order to save the data of your device via a backup.
Good luck!

How can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it into the computer or restoring it or resetting any data?

I went I to my phone and I tried to unlock my passcode but it did not let me in, how can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it onto the computer on iTunes, or restoring it or deleting any data ?

You don't. The only way to remove the passcode if forgotten is to restore the device. If you have a backup, you can restore to that last backup, but anything done since that last backup would be lost.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

And I am very confused by your query. Your iTunes account is the same on all devices - unless of course you have multiple accounts to begin with.
If you do have another Apple ID that you use for the iPad purchases, you can sign out of the account that is on the iPad in Settings>Store.
Perhaps a few more details from you could clear up the confusion???

How can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

how can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

A gap between letters started to show in my indesgn files. tried to undo with tracking, the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?

a gap between letters started to show in my indesign files. tried to undo with tracking, then with the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?
for example: say i write a paragraph. then, in a weird some sort of way an involuntary gap suddenly appears between different letters of random words(i did not recognize any pattern to the gap appearing) throughout the entire paragraph. once i've double clicked on that paragraph, and made a minor change, lets say tapped a 'space' key, and then clicked ctrl+z to undo, it has aligned(or fixed) the entire paragraph and made it look ok again. i've tried numerous ways to undo the entire thing, but cannot find the reason. i've been working for a few years and there's no reason why this thing all of a sudden should happen right now.
if anyone has stumbled on something like that and can advise, i would welcome it.

if you look closely you'll see that almost every line has a single letter apart. in hebrew there is no usually a singe letter structured words.

My granddaughter likes to play games and I only download the free ones for her because she only uses them briefly. How can I secure my device so that doesn't happen?

Depending upon what version of iOS that you have it on, you might have a Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password setting which you can set to 'Immediately' - there should also be an 'In-App Purchases' setting on the Restrictions screen which you can set to 'off' so as to prevent in-app purchases bein made.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How can i reset/restore my ipad from another computer thatis not the original one i used

I forgot my password on my ipad. I originally synced with myy iphone. I can't resync because I do not have a plug to connect the two.
How can I do this on another computer?

iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - Learn what to do if you have forgotten or can't remember your passcode, or if your device displays a message saying it is disabled.
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

Connect it to a computer running the latest version of iTunes. It will tell you which model iPad you have.

How can I replicate a source table that doesn't have any primary keys?

We have transactional replication setup in our workplace.
In the source database, there are some tables that do not have any primary key.
1) How can I get these tables to replicate in the current scenario?
2) Is it possible to introduce foreign elements in a replicated instance of the database?
Example, additional records in a table that don't exist in the source or additional tables in the database?

1) You need to add a primary key to this table. There must be a criteria that the app uses to identify which row it wants to up date or delete. If not you might be able to add an identity column to the table and then add a primary key to it. If this is not
possible you might want to use snapshot replication or CDC to do change tracking and then something like SSIS or service broker to move the change to the destination server.
2) yes, but be careful. They should not modify the schema or the data of tables which are being replicated.

Can't Completely Uninstall an App That Doesn't Exist Anymore

Alright, so I've got a very run-of-the-mill, mid-2011 Macbook Air (1.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, running Yosemite) and everything really does run just fine. The only issue I've been having is completely eliminating traces of a particular app that actually doesn't exist anymore.
Some time ago, I downloaded a little To-Do List sort of thing called Intuition+. It was made to be a checklist, and also a planner that would integrate with Calendar. Not very long after I got the app, the company deleted it entirely. I did as much as I knew how to get rid of anything associated with it on my laptop, but it still shows up as a calendar option in Calendar.
Now, I know it's probably harmless, but it drives me nuts that I can't get rid of the **** thing 100%. It was called Intuition+. Any advice?
Apologies if I'm leaving out any info that might be helpful-- I've never posted here before, so let me know what I can do to help you help me 8)

So this is an app that you've downloaded from the iTunes store, not from the Mac App Store ? If it is then it should be in the Apps part of your iTunes library - if you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then option-command-S should enable the left-hand sidebar, and on that sidebar there should be an Apps section e.g.
But apps from the iTunes store can only be installed/used on iOS devices i.e. an iPhone, iPod Touch and/or an iPad (they will appear in your iTunes library for syncing and backup purposes) - you can't use iTunes apps on a Mac.
