    You can reset the password with the install disk.

  • IPad 1st Gen stopped typing: the keypad won't even appear. Everything else works.

    My daughter's 1st gen iPad suddenly won't type: the keypad won't appear. Sound works, touch works to open apps and play games, just no typing. I've tried restoring it, same problem.

    You don't use a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPad do you? If you do, turn the Bluetooth keyboard off and turn Bluetooth off in the iPad settings as well. If that is not the situation, reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • 1st Gen iPad question? any one?

    I have Microsoft office for my Mac Air, can i sue it also on my 1st Gen iPad?

    If you want to transfer an Excel file from your computer to an iPad  - you can email the file to yourself on the iPad.
    The .xls files will open as email attachments on the iPad and you can save the email (so that you can save the file) until you find an app to your liking that you want to purchase to edit and save these types of files.
    You can read the file types that the iPad supports as email attachments here
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    On the iPad, files are saved in the apps in which they are created. The iPad does not support a conventional OS folder structure like a computer. An Excel file can be saved in the Numbers app available from Apple or in the Documents 2 Go app mentioned in my previous post.

  • I bought a used 1st gen Ipad on Ebay. It is froze on a screen that says plug into Itunes.  I can't get it to do anything?

    I pad froze on Itunes symbol with cord image under.  Will do nothing but turn off. Please help!  I finally brake down and by a used Ipad for this?!!?!

    If you recently bought it, can you return it? If you can, do that as soon as possible! It's possible thte seller new they were selling you a non-working ipad, or one with problems. I'd keep at e-bay until they refund your money.
    You might not get as great a $ deal, but if you buy one in the Apple refurb store on the Apple website (scroll down on left of screen) you can consider one of those. This morning I ordered our third ipad 2 (16 gb for a senior who wants it for limited use.)
    (Given the reported problems with ipad 3 (discontinued after only months) we went with the ipad 2, but could not find any new ones at 32 gb. So we bought two last Summer (at a great price, we went with 64 gbs.)
    Each comes with a new outer front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty. We have never had overheating problems, and the batteries last about ten hours per charge.
    Google questions about the old new discontinued ipad 3.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS3280 onscreen ipad keyboard has stopped appearing when attempting to email a picture

    I often email pictures I have taken with my ipad to friends. Just recently the keyboard stopped appearing. When I select email the picture, the new message screen appears, but the keyboard no longer shows up. The keyboard seems to show up everywhere else as expected, just will not show up when emailing pictures.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • What is the idea of having STRING type when you can't write into that field

    Hello friends
    I am desperately trying to write to a field of a database table with DATA TYPE 'STRING'.
    When I try to write it using a program from < SE38> or a function <SE37>, I get following error message, while activating the program.
    ============================================================
    <DATABASE_TABLE> must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
    strings, references, or structures as components.
    ============================================================
    So, I have been going in circle to find out how to write a string into this field.
    I can't use the CHAR or any such type with a limited field length, since the requirement from my customer is to use a variable length string.
    Has anybody seen this problem before and if you have resolved this issue, I would appreciate if you can please let me know.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Ram

    Hi Harish
    Thanks for your response.
    I can create the table with the data type 'String'. However, the problem is when I try to update the table from a program in SE38 or a Function Module in SE37.
    When I try to activate the PROGRAM or FUCNTION, I GET A MESSAGE THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER.
    Here is the simple program that I have created that I am not able to activate
    ==========================================
    REPORT  ZTEST_STRING1.
    tables: ztest.
    ztest-zid = 2.
    ztest-zstring1 = 'ABC'.
    insert ztest.
    ===========================================
    ztest has two fields
    zid which is NUMC type
    and zstring1 which is STRING type.
    When I try to activate I get an error message as follows:
    'ztest' must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
    strings, references, or structures as components.

    Hi Idahoan52,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service.  This article has instructions for doing this:

    If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying the steps in this article:

  • HT4623 What is the latest up dates for a 1st gen iPad?

  • Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

    Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
    On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
    I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
    The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
    My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
    Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
    Thanks

    Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
    I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
    Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
    1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
    2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
    3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
    Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

  • 1st gen iPad gone Dark

    my daughter has an 1st gen iPad and the screen has recently gone black.  Tried restarting but to no avail.  HELP!!! I don't remember the last iOS but definitely no iOS7.. 

    Hello there, Tinka2Adee.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iOS device not powering on:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Keyboard doesn't appear when trying to type into Numbers cell

    I'm having a strange problem trying to use the latest Numbers app on my iPad 2,.
    I opened a new spreadsheet but the virtual keyboard doesn't appear when I try to enter text in a cell.  I can only get the "Paste" option.  When I hit that, it enters text I'd cut and pasted from a NY Times article into a Facebook post two days ago.  I thought that I'd just paste it then delete that column later but when I move to the next column, the same "Paste" option appears.
    I can title the spreadsheet; I just can't type into the body of the spreadsheet.  The spreadsheet and cells aren't locked.
    I've been using the latest version of Numbers on my desktop with no issues at all.  I have no idea why this is happening.  Any suggestions?  Thanx.

    Hi William,
    Things are working the way the were intended to. A single tap on a cell brings up the Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete/Fill/Comment menu. A double tap brings up the input screen. If the cell is formatted as text you will get the text keyboard right away. If formatted as a date or number then those screens show. You are given the option to change the data type here. If you are in a form you will be ruled by the format and unable to change it there.

  • Can't use Photoshop Touch on 1st Gen iPad?

    App store won't let me download and install it on my 1st gen iPad 'cause it doesn't have a camera.  It doesn't NEED a camera, does it?  I've got tons of photos in iphoto on my ipad and I receive photos in my email and via wifi.  Does anyone know how I can use Photoshop touch on an ipad without having to buy a NEW iPad?

    Are you selecting the albums to sync correctly? ...
    Put Checkmark in "Sync Photos from iPhoto"  ...
    Click button next to "All Photos" or next to "Selected albums .... include ..."
    Select the albums, events and so on that you want to sync - with a checkmark next to each ....

    Was given a 1st Gen IPAD second hand as a gift. Won't turn on and it flashes the apple logo every 10-15 seconds when plugged in. Itunes won't recognize either. Please help

    After being connectred to a charging source overnight
    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.

  • Multi-Touch Gestures disabled on 1st gen iPad in iOS 5?

    Apple, please fix this!!!  This is absurd!  Why on earth would you handicap 1st gen ipad owners?  There is no hardware limitation with the 1st gen, so why remove this from iOS 5 for ipad1?   As a developer who used xCode I enabled the new multi-touch gestures on my iPad and they were a great addition, and now to read that under iOS 5 they are no supported on first gen ipad is simply beyond me.   Outrageously stupid.  I already installed iOS 5 on my iPad.   So I am simply out of luck???? 

    Please fix this Apple! I have been using them for a while and going back to not having them on my iPad 1 is VERY frustrating!
    Productivity levels decrease while using the iPad in the "old school" way clicking the home button all the time to switch through apps. If gestures are to be non existent in iPad 1 I think it would be good to know the technical reasoning behind this. Also, the online documentation should be reviewed and promote this as part of iPad 2 and above, not iPads as described in:
    http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html
    "iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps."
    Thanks and looking forward to a fix
