HT1414 How do you even get the iPad to show up in iTunes if it is locked? It keeps saying that it can't open the device without the passcode... I don't understand how I am suppose to get into iTunes to fix it when the problem is that I don't know the pas

Can anyone please help? Thank you!

You need to use recovery mode and this explains how to do it. You will lose everything on the iPad and will have to either sync with iTunes to get all of your content back or download it all again using the purchased tabs in the iStores on the iPad.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

I can't open my Iphone without a passcode which I don't have. How do I get it?

I downloaded 8.1 onto my iphone and now it won't open without my passcode. I don't have a passcode. I got one when I started the download but it was only good for 3 hours. How can I use my phone???

If it's in the Mail app then does tapping the 'file' not give a Done button at the top ?
If that doesn't work then try closing Mail completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How can I select more than one bookmark at a time so that I can then open multiple bookmarks -- without the aggravation of going back to the list and selecting and opening each one.

From my dozens of bookmarks, I often would like to open 5 or 6 of them at once -- perhaps a couple of weather reports, a couple of radio stations, a couple of other websites. But I see no way of doing this without laboriously finding a bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, then returning to the bookmarks, finding the second bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, and on and on. Surely there's a way for me to select multiple unrelated bookmarks and open them at the same time. Thanks much for your help. Don

''Actually there is a picture and better explanation in the corresponding History article''

Look where this picture is embedded in the article topic [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox#Selecting_history_items Selecting history items]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/images/Fx3_history_sidebar_selections2.png
Selecting, viewing, and searching the sidebars and library lists is explained in both articles previously mentioned.
Multiple selection is something built-in to a lot of applications and into all browsers, and yes you guessed correctly the favicon it the thing to the left of the bookmark and that is what is is called in all browsers. And if you look at selection you will find that it matches what you asked for, especially if you were to do a search from the search bar on the bookmark or history sidebar. But there is also no problem opening up a single bookmark or history item into a new tab, with either Ctrl+click or Ctrl+Shift+click in the area to the right of the favicon either.
However I would suggest making a change to your configuration options so the the same keyboard shortcut is used from a link and from your bookmarks. See those keyboard shortcuts in the following along with the footnotes just below the table for them in

My ipod screen is cracked and i can't sync my ipod to itunes because it is locked with a password and i can't enter the password because the heat sensor is messed up on the ipod becasue of the screen and i don't want to restore it and lose everything. What can i do?!

All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How do you Print from an iPad to an epson workforce 633?

How do you print from an iPad to an epson workforce 633?

If your printer is Aiprint capable you only have to go to the share tab, click it and you should see the name of your printer. Most AirPrint printers are very easy to set up. My HP recognized my wireless network when I turned it on and I simply followed the printers prompts to finish the setup. Apple has a list of AirPrint capable printers. Is yours on the list? See list from website
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT435
As a alternate you can buy devices like xPrintServer by Lantronix which are supposed to allow you to use your existing printer. The device is hard wired to your printer but communicates wirelessly with your idevice.
Other options have companies like HP have services that basically allow you to send your material you want to print to HP and they in turn route it to your printer.
Hope one of these will work for you.

How do you change an used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

How do you cange a used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

plug your ipad to your computer, open your itunes, click on the ipad icon, at the first page there is an option to "restore" ipad to its factory settings, click it. Don't remove USB connection, wait until it finishes wiping the data and it should place a new window that asks you to register the ipad.
There you go, your iPad is sync with your itunes account under your name, its best to also use "Find my iPad" just in case it gets lost, you can track it from your computer. Very handy tool and its free!
But if you want the data that is in the iPad, back up it first and sync the content to your library before restoring it to its factory settings
Have a great day and enjoy your iPad

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
However... Once you have Recovered your Device...

How do you send pics from iPad?

How do you send pics from iPad? I've tried to use the photos icon at the bottom, select the pics, and enter the email address. Problem is they never show up in the email. Any thoughts? I've also tried Pages app and a few others with the same result.

I discussed the problem with Melissa at Apple. We tried reset, then we found about 50 attempts to email pics from Photos, stuck in Outbox. Deleted all of them, and we were able to send pic from Photos. Next day the problem was back, and emptying Outbox does not fix. Have not tried renewing account yet, worried about losing Inbox stuff.

How do you transfer photos from iPad to computer?

How do you transfer photos from iPad to computer?

For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from email/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If you want to copy back photos that were originally synced from a computer then you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93061
I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
And by the way I tried this one
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.
