HT1212 I changed the passcode on my ipad and cannot remember what I changed it to... None of these articles are helping.
I changed the passcode on my ipad and cannot remember what I changed it to.... I've looked online for answers and tried everything. Help.
What happens when you use the instructions on the HT1212 page that you posted from ? If you being prompted to enter the passcode when you connect the iPad to your computer(s) then you will need reset your iPad back to factory defaults, as described in the second half of the page, and you can then restore/resync your content back to it

Hi-i changed the passcode on my 4G and now I cannot remember it - I must have it for work - can you help me reset it or at least take the passcode off?
If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

On your iPad, go to settings, general, about and click on name then change it.

On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.Hi,
For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited. To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
bit (locally administered) in the second nibble. Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
In other words
MAC address: “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal. The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is Y: “kmnp”, where “p” is the least significant bit;
p=0 --> unicast;
p=1 --> multicast;
n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
n=1 --> locally administered;
So, actually MAC can be changed to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
“Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

You may have to do this several times.

‘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.

I have a macbook pro, bought new in Sept 2011.
Yesterday, I changed the date (forwarded it to 2020 - for a silly reason) and then changed it back. Now my iMessage on the macbook shows up that all contacts are offline and when I can't log in.
I've trawled through a number of the already-existing threads on this and tried a few things - in Terminal, or in Systems Prefs but can't get it to work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Pádraig.Log out or restart the computer and try again. Make sure the date is now correct.

When I sync my iPad it doesn't change the photos on my iPad and I would like for it to do so.
I would like to delete all photos from my ipad. Is there a way?
Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

I would love a job where I can help make the blueprints of how I devices will be made. I want a job where I can more so help plan the creating of every new device rather than building the already planned devices.
There is no simple job description or position that would fit. The jobs of design are generally split among many people and roles. You might try viewing the existing jobs; that might give you some clues as to avenues of education and job experience to pursue. Viewing the Design jobs might give you at least a start:

When executing a drag and drop from i-photo to a document, occasional, random, images will refuse drop onto the document. The work around is to drag the offending image to the desk top, and from there to the document.
Question: What is causing these random "rebel" images to misbehave ?It is better to use export or to use the media browser form the target program
See this user tip for details on accessing your photos

I do not remember the passcode to my iPad.
I do not remember the passcode to my iPad and it was set up on someone else's iTunes. It will not restore without the passcode on my iTunes on my computer. Can I fix this at a retail location?
If you can't remember the passcode, then you can unlock it on another computer though the content will be wiped and I think that you need to put it into DFU mode first e.g. post https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385719#15385719 in thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385641#15385641
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
