You will have to force the iPad into recovery mode and data will be lost unless you have a backup.

  • What are the options if one iPad was stolen last week and Apple created a bug which the burglar can turn off "Find My Phone"?

    Last week, my gf was stolen and lost her iPad. I thought that everything was lost because "Find My Phone" didn't manage to track the iPad location so the police could do something.
    Today, I ended up reading this article (http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/03/ios-7-bug-allows-anyone-to-disable-find-my-iphone- and-bypass-activation-lock-without-a-password/) which tells me that the iOS 7.1 presents a bug where someone can deactivate the "Find My Phone" function without the password.
    What are the options here so I can rehave the stolen iPad, which Apple helped the burglar to keep it or even sell it?
    Appreciate your cooperation

    Apple didn't "help the burgler" do anything. Did she have a passcode on the device? If so, the thief would not have been able to access any of the functions needed to disable Find My Phone. Also, if the device doesn't show up in iCloud's Find My Phone, it may be that it is simply turned off, or not connected to a network.

    Unfortunately you do not have any options, the iPad one cannot be used for mirroring.

  • After downloading IOS 6 all my stored pictures were wiped off. But the pictures are still there at Facebook and google photo accounts. How do I transfer the photos back to my iPad?

    After downloading IOS 6 all my stored pictures were wiped off.  I later noticed that the pictures are still there on photo stream on my Facebook and google accounts. How do I transfer these pictures back to my iPad from any of these accounts?

    I once had a sync problem that turned out to be that a specific photo was corrupted and impeded the process from continuing. Try to see if it gets stuck at a specific photo, then delete just that one.

  • How do you install Thunderbird on a new Apple iPad 2?  When attempting to download, I get a message that Safari cannot open the file.

    Can anyone provide instructions regarding downloading Thunderbird on an Apple iPad 2?   I attempted to download on the iPad through Google and when the download attempted to start it gave a message that Safari could not download this file.

    You can only install apps from the iTunes App Store.   That's why Safari won't download it.   Even if it did download it, you couldn't install it as iOS wouldn't recognize it as an iOS app (which Thunderbird isn't).

  • IPAD Mini Freezing up in installation mode as it is installing Update iOS 8.1.3 . I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini .  How do I resolve this problem?

    iPAD Mini purchased for Xmas 2013 is freezing as it tries to complete the installation of the iOS update 8.1.3.  The screen his frozen on the installation mode and I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini.  How do I turn off the iPAD Mini and resolve this problem?

    Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go. Also, it is iOS 8.2 that you are trying to install since that is the current version. I had no problems updating my mini today so hopefully yours will go well too.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • IPad frozen after attempting to restore earlier version

    My iPad is frozen after I tried to restore an earlier version - 20 Dec 2012 - via my laptop. I have used the on/off and centre control together to try and re-boot, but the apple returns and no further action occurs. Connecting it to iTunes via the laptop does not work as it appears the laptop does not read that the iPad is connected. Any suggestions?

    Are you using iTunes to restore it? Were you getting error messages? If so, what were they?

  • ITunes won't recognize iPhone 5 after I attempted to download iOS 7

    I tried to download iOS 7 and I got an error message and iTunes said the update failed. Since that moment, my phone has shown the iTunes logo with the cable, prompting me to plug my phone into my computer and sync it with iTunes. Conveniently enough however, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone when I plug it in, but it will recognize my iPod touch when I plug that in to the computer. I have restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes numerous times and yet nothing has worked. So essentially I have no ability to restore my phone and no ability access it in any way shape or form.....any help?!

    What version of iTunes are you running?

  • My daughters ipod generation 4 has frozen whilst attempting to download some apps the screen is showing the white apple sign it wont turn on or off ?

    my daughters ipod generation 4  has frozen whilst attempting to download some apps , its showing the white apple sign and cannot be switched on or off ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    I'm getting a Download Error warning after attempting to download and install CC. No error code – just a button prompt to Reload Applications which takes me straight back to the Download Error. All my previously installed CC apps work fine but I need to upgrde to be compatible with colleagues. Thanks

    I'm having exactly the same problem......I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.10.1. We have BT fibre optic business broadband. Everything has been running just fine until about 2 weeks ago when the apps in my CC panel just disappeared. I have made no changes to our systems and I am the only person to administer it all.....
