HT1766 I reset my ipad then tried to restore it with my icloud backup. it asked for my apple id and password. I knew my password but could not remember the apple id. so I asked the dialogue to retreive it but it asked me to reset my password. now i can't

i had problems with it being very slow even thought I deleted all my music and pics and even a lot of apps so I figured I'd reset it and restore from the backup I have on iTunes. but after aksing for my apple id and then being forced to change my password, it also asked me to associate an email with the account.after all that when I try to restore it says it has a problem. I can't remember the exact message I get.
I set it up as a new ipad thinking I'd try and use iTunes to retrieve it. but it doesn't look like I can do it that way either.haven't synced with a my laptop in a while.

    I bought an iPhone 4 from a youngster who had put his own Apple ID on it but could not remember the password. I backed it up yesterday and restored to my new iPhone and it copied the Apple ID across too. Now I have 2 phones with it on. Anything I do?

    that must be really annoying !!
    so this is what you call
    FIND MY IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
    when you start using iCloud on any iOS device and enable find my iPhone, this prevents  a new user from using it, and also prevents anyone from using the phone
    as it is locked to previous owners account ,this is also the case if when a phone is lost or stolen.
    the only way around this is to have the previous owner reset their apple id by going to  @ applied.apple.com
    if they are unable to do this, then the only other way around this is to have the previous owner get  a copy of their original receipt and call apple support who can then lift this lock if they get a copy of the receipt
    unfortunately there is no quick fix -> the below link explains what you should do before you sell or give away an iPhone

    No.  purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them.  Delete them and buy your own copies.

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • I deleted some videos from my iPad mini. Can I restore them with my icloud backup

    Please help. I deleted some videos I need. If i reset my iPad mini will I be able to restore with my icloud backup.

    If they were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.  The backup will, of course, overwrite any newer data on your iPad so if you want to keep it you'll need to save it before restoring the backup.

    I bought a bluetooth earpiece for my ipad but my ipad could not detect the earpiece. Can somebody explain why that is so? I used the piece on my friend's tablet and it could detect the earpiece meaning that it is working. Why my ipad could'n? I want to use it to listen to music or video. I could use the normal wire type earpiece but it is very cumbersome.

  • My ID account has been locked ,  i could not remember the questions , poease contact me back aspa

    My account is locked , i have no idea what the security questions are ...
    Please , i also have my gift card and now , it must be trash do to the fact that its locked.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT201363 What should I do if I could not remember the answers of all the security questions precisely?

    I was trying to purchse some apps from my new devices, but I can't remember the answers of the security questions and I don't have a rescue email address. I am wondering If there is anything I could do to solve this problem?

    Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.

  • HT1212 a friend gave me her iphone but could not remember her passcode and the phone is disable.  What can i do to reset the phone

    A friend gave me her old iphone 4 but could not remember the passcode and the phone is disabled.  How can I reset the passcode?

    In HT1212,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • "Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    I'm trying to save a file and an error keeps popping up saying ""Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)". I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. I have no other windows open. I checked the RAM allocated to Photoshop, in the Preferences > Performance tab, and I have tried it at 60% (980 MB) and 90% (1483 MB), still with no luck. I tried Purging the undo, clipboard and history with no help either.
    I read a couple of other posts that were similar to this and people suggested " resetting the preferences as described in the FAQ." but is there any way to do this without closing Photoshop?
    I can't loose this file, so any help woudl be appreciated.

    I'm sorry to hear it locked up on you, and with only a GIF saved (which is probably useless).  Perhaps I should have suggested Select All / Copy first.
    As far as what went wrong...  It might be helpful to know some of the specifics:
    What operating system are you running?
    Do you see any errors in the Windows error logs corresponding in time to this problem, and if so, what are the specifics?
    Do you have Photoshop updated to 12.0.3?
    What video card do you have, and do you have updated video drivers?
    Is OpenGL enabled in Edit - Preferences - Performance?
    What kinds of operations did you do since you started the session of Photoshop that ultimately went bad?
    What other applications were you running?
    What kind of computer is it (specifically, can you install more RAM)?
    It might not be possible to pinpoint just what went wrong, but perhaps we could make some general suggestions that might help.

  • Trouble creating a pdf converting Word doc ..."Could not find the application that created the file"

    Hello,
    I am working with Acrobat Pro 8 and am trying to create a pdf by converting a word doc. When I try that, I keep getting an error message, " Could not find the application that created this file...please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer." I can always convert a word into pdf first and then insert it into the pdf project that I am working on, however I have multiple files and I really would like to bypass that long step.
    I found another thread in this forum which talks about a simillar issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429585).I tried the solution suggested there by Bill@vt regarding the print menu. I am not really sure if t have distiller installed, so I tried opening it in acrobat, but it failed. During the process, I got the follwing message "Check the Status column for a list of files that could not be printed".I do not have any clue how to check for AcroTray running in the background.
    I would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    If Distiller failed to open, it sounds like you need to do a repair of your Acrobat installation. Have not heard that one before!

  • I had to restore my ipad but do not remember the original used name or password and now cannot start up the ipad. pl help

    could not restart my ipad after restoring it as I could not remember the original user name or password I had associated it with then.

    Try to reset your password at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) as described in this document:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    What if I forget my Apple ID password?
    If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
    If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.
