Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

So what is your iPad doing, specifically? Are you having a problem when you try to sync it or back it up on iTunes? I think we need more information here before we can help...
Thanks,

Need help with locating iPad with find my iPad app.. it was turned on this morning but won't show me the location.. why is this??

Need help to find location of iPad using find my iPad app.. Sound was activated this morning but it won't give me the location.. How can I find it??

Hello there Kylie,
It sounds like your iPad is not showing in Find my iPad when you check it. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4006
Device does not appear in Find My iPhone
This can occur if:
The date on your device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) is incorrect. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your device is not up-to-date. It needs to be running iOS 5 or later.
Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
You have multiple iCloud accounts entered on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Only one account can have Find My iPhone turned on at a given time. Log in to Find My iPhone with your other iCloud accounts until your device is listed.
There's a scheduled maintenance or another issue affecting Find My iPhone. Check the System Status site to see if this is the case.
Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, enable and then disable Airplane mode. If you continue to have issues, turn the device off and back on.
Find My Mac can only locate your Mac if it is connected to the Internet via a known Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is connected to the Internet only by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate your Mac.
Device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offlineThis can occur if:
Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out. Note that the remaining battery for the device, if it's connected to the Internet, displays in the upper-right corner of the information pane of the selected device. You can still play a sound on, send a message to, issue a lock request, or initiate an erase of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The command will be received after the device is turned on and regains its Internet connection.
Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider. If you contacted your service provider to report your device lost or stolen before locating your phone, and they deactivated your SIM card or account, this would be expected. If this is the case, you may no longer be able to locate, display a message on, or erase your iPhone. For more information, read about what to do if your device is lost or stolen.
Your iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. You will still be able to request an erase, send a message to display and lock your device, or request that a sound be played. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Need help with mirroring iPad Air in classroom

Not sure in the right community, so excuse me and redirect if needed.
I recently got an iPad Air and the lightning VGA adapter to connect my iPad to the projection system in my classroom. It will project the iPad screen on my computer monitor, but will not project onto the large screen through my projector. I was able to do this with my iPad 2 and the 30 pin VGA adapter, which would mirror onto both the computer screen and the big screen using my VGA splitter box. I use my iPad all the time to show students info from apps. Any ideas?
Thanks! Jen Nicholson, K-5 science lab teacher

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

READ THIS! I NEED HELP WITH MY IPAD! SAVE ME!

In the mail app, I have tried to insert my mail account from from orange.sn. I am living overseas in West Africa. I have a POP(3) account that works fine with Windows Mail, but after inserting everything properly in the Mail account setting on my iPad, it still will not work. I have done everything Apple's help guides, user booklets and everything else said to do, but it simply won't work. Is Orange compatiple with the iPad? What could be the problem? Please help, its my only email account and it getting really frustrating.
Here is the message that pops up: "Cannot Get Mail. The Mail server "mail.orange.sn" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."

i googled orange senegal email setup and got the following. while it is written for a smartphone, any email set up instructions, such and the server names would probably be the same.
email - Orange Setup
email setup. With a compatible phone* you can send and receive email directly ... However if you have been an Orange customer for less than 12 months GPRS ...

Need help with prepay iPad

I'm currently trying to put service on my iPad. And it's getting quite frustrating... I'm told that it's put on the 'don't pay table' (or whatever they call the table that renders a device useless to them) and I can't get anyone to talk to me about it. Tried customer service and they referred me to fraud department, fraud department pretty much told me to forget it because it's a pre pay account, so he then transferred me to customer service and they told me I need to talk to the fraud dept!! The last customer service lady told me to contact somebody thru the contact us tab on Verizon's website, I was hoping to find an email address but couldn't come up with one, so here I am... Hoping to get some sort of help...
The only reason I can come up with for being on this 'table' is due to the fact my credit card info was stolen last summer and the $20 or $30 VZW charge initially got flagged with being fraudulent. Which was later corrected by me once I realized it was legitimate.
Thanks for any replies even though from what I'm hearing its impossible to get off this 'list'

I am not familiar with that "Table" term. I can see a stop via using that credit or bank card but not the device its self.
Did you try another credit/debit card? That may take care of the issue.
I am not sure of the pay as you go tablet plans, I understand you need to just use a bank card. Then you pay as you go.
If the card is rejected, yes there can be no service. But another payment device should work.
Verizon cannot legally stop your device from functioning. It is not their property.
I would even with the expense get an attorney and sue them for a huge amount of money. This will get you better results than a run around.
Never heard of such a program that disables you from using your own tablet. Simply crazy.
Good Luck

Need help with mi ipad ID iCloud. Please!!!!

My email provider close. Change my email in the apple ID, update the password. However my ipad mini does not work iCloud account. Update the ID, iMessage, FaceTime correctly but NOT to iCloud. No restores because I enter the old password and ID but does not work or give coon new nor old. The ipad does not sync because all the space I remain locked in Other. Please help. In Colombia the technical support is not online or by phone or chat.

Hi germanbl,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you were still signed into the iCloud on your iPad mini after editing the Apple ID to new email address, it will be necessary to temporarily edit the Apple ID back to your old email address in order to sign out. Please use the directions in the attached article for more information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Have a great day,
Joe

Need help with new iPad

Hey,
Okay basically I purchased an WiFi + 3G 16GB iPad from Orange.
Now my first question is how much data is commonly used up?
I have 1GB anytime and plus another 1GB for using between midnight and 10am.
iPad will mainly be used for checking e-mail and browsing business websites.
I'll be using WiFi while at home which is most of the time and while out I'll be using 3G. Is that enough data?
Also I need to know some good business apps, there is no specific section in the app store for iPad so I was not sure where to look. So please suggest some! I have already decided to purchase all three iWork apps (Numbers,Pages,Keynote)
Furthermore I've purchased apps such as doodle jump and angry birds on my iPhone 4 and iPod Touch. I was wondering if I would be able to download the iPad version onto my iPad for free considering I have already purchased the app. If that is the case then could you please explain how to do so. Can I jsut log in to my account go to the app store and then navigate to the app and download it?
Also anyone know any good book apps?
Anyone know any good business podcasts?
Any motivnatial podcats?
Lastly I'll be using this in bussiness seminars to take notes etc. So I have purchased the apple wireless keyboard to take notes. But I would also like to be able to write notes down, I purchased a stylus and I want to find an app in which I can take down notes with the stylus also prefarbly if it could recognise the writing and turn it into text and also into a word doc
Thanks in advance!!!!!

It depends on the app. Many are universal, but some have different ipad versions, and require seperate payment. You'll have to check each individual app.

I use WritePad and love it. It has a good recognition software, and converts into text documents. You can email notes from there as well. No automatic word doc conversion. You can also use it to send notes to two other apps you might find useful: Dropbox (a file syncing app) and Evernote (a cloud notebook app).
Thanks in advance!!!!!

Need Help with Connecting IPad to WiFI E2500 Router

Have set up Router OK. Created Flashdrive EZ
How do I connect my IPAD now to WiFi since there is no USB port on my Ipad??

Although Im not particularly familiar about the significance of Flashdrive EZ to your inquiry, the way to connect your Ipad to your wifi network can be accomplished without using a USB cable. Tap settings and turn on your WIFI. Select your E2500s SSID from the list. If you had set up a security password, type it when required.
