Is there anyway to reset ipad passcode without having to restore the factory settings?

My little brother has locked himself out of his ipad. Although I am aware we can restore the factory settings he would very much like to save his photos.
The ipad has never been synced or backed up.
Is there anyway to do this?

  • Is there anyway I can enable dictation without having to press any keys?

    Being disabled I am unable to use my hands and would like to know is there anyway I can enable dictation without having to press any keys. In Maverick this was possible as you was able to start and stop dictation by speech without having to use the keyboard. Being able to start and stop dictation by speech command this will help everyone who is in the same position as me and cannot physically move. It would be great if Apple can add this in the future. Please reply somebody. Thanks

    I don't know of a way to do that, but there is a third-party product called "Dragon Dictate" that does have a voice-activation feature. I'm not otherwise familiar with it. I will ask the moderators to move your question to the Accessibility forum where you might get more information. There are also websites dedicated to assistive technology on the Mac, such as this:

  • I lost my iphone 4 last night is there anyway i cant track it without having the app find my iphone

    i lost my iphone 4 last night is there anyway i cant track it without having the app find my iphone

    There is no app needed.
    find my iphone is a built in feature of the iphone.  If you set it up on your iphone before it was lost, then go to icloud.com and try to locate it.
    Otherwise, you cannot track it.

  • My iPod classic will dload to 26.5 gigs and then stop syncing.  There are 122 gigs free.  Same results after restoring the factory setting and trying a manual download.  Any ideas?

    First time user on this forum, so I appreciate any help from anyone.  I load up some 80-90 gigs of video to download and it takes in maybe 200 mb and says 'IPod Sync is Complete"  I've restored the factory settings, tried doing it manually and nothing works.  It will add to my iPhone, so I'm guessing the problem is with the device.

    Sorry, Bilbo...I have the latest version (2.0.4) and have over 140 g. free space.  Even movies that were on there early but have been deleted cannot be re-added to the iPod.  I have followed the instructions in that link, both automatic and manual and nothing seems to do the trick.  It initially acknowledges that there are some scores and scores of movies to download, showing on the spacebar that it anticipates some 90 gigs need to be synced.  But then it says 'sync completed', lays down the shovel and calls it a day.
    Any ideas outside the given solutions?

  • Ipad mini needs to be restored to factory settings after ios7 what will i lose

    young daughter updated ipad mini with ios7.3. ipad now showing only itunes logo and image of connection to computer.  connected to computer and itunes saying that ipad is in recovery mode and must be reset to factory settings and i will lose all data.  It also says that ipad software is up to date. Not sure what to do, any suggestions?

    If it is showing that message, there is no other option other then to restore it in iTunes.  That process will wipe everything off it and return it to as it was out of the box.
    If you have backups in iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from those once it is working normally again.  Anything other than audiobooks purchased from the iTunes or App stores can be re-downloaded if needed.

  • Need to restore a session without having to restore the profile folder in explorer

    So, honestly I found this is the only way to register, which I think is stupid, but I'm absolutely infuriated right now because I had 360+ tabs open all in groups and stuff, and I opened some site, it threw a pop-up full screen up in my face, even though I have ad-blocker with popup addon, and when I tried to close the stupid pop-up, it instead closed the window containing all my tabs, then proceeded to try & close the ad & shut down firefox, thus saving that as my session. I am beside myself. I know that I can easily get back my session, but only from the last restore point on my system. Is there ANY other way I can do this? If I use this method, I will not only have lost a TON of hours worth of open tabs & work, but I'll lose a bunch of important information. I think the oldest restore point is from last night & I did a LOT of stuff in between then & now. Anyways, I mostly wanted to register to let another user know about this method at least, because he wasn't helped at ALL during his ask for support on the issue. He was told there was simply nothing he could do. That's not true. If you go into your appdata folder & restore the mozilla folders in both local & roaming (not sure which one it is, I do both to be safe) to the last point it has that you're sure will contain your tabs/profile data & voila. It's worked for me before. However, this time I really need a better method, and it's not displaying any windows to restore except the god damn pop-up that just destroyed my day. I truly wish the people who invented pop-up ads would die in a fire.

    You can possibly use this to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.

  • IPad will not update or restore to factory settings.

    My iPad Air is stuck in recovery mode. I was using my iPad to watch Netflix when all of a sudden the screen display had lines going through it and then the device shut off. I plugged it in to charge, since it was almost dead and left it for a few hours. When I came back and tried to turn it on, it would not turn on. After a few attempts it did. and seemed to be working fine for about 5 minutes, until I tried to close a few apps, and same thing happened, lines through the display and then turned off. I tried to plug my iPad in to my computer to update it, but it must have malfunctioned while updating because then it went into recovery mode. I tried to restore the iPad to factory settings and I keep getting an error saying it can not update or restore.
    I then brought my iPad in to the Apple store for some technical support. The "technician" was less than helpful and only did what I had done at home: plug into computer and try to update & restore using itunes. Needless to say it did not work. He then told me it must be a hard drive problem and since I was 2 months out of warranty that I could get a replacement iPad for $299 +tax. I asked for the manager and of course "he was busy" and said this was my only option. I asked him how thsi could've happened and he told me he had no way of knowing and didn't know what caused these things to happen.
    I have been an Apple user for 10+ years and have enjoyed every product I have ever bought there. I am extremely disappointed that by me using my iPad normally, never dropping it, never spilling water on it and then their product failing that I have to pay almost $300 to get a replacement. It seems that this problem could not have been avoided, since they don't know what causes these things and that this was Apples fault for selling faulty products. I would have never bought the iPad to begin with had I known I would need to purchase a replacement only 13 months later.
    I am wondering if anyone has gone through something similar and if there are any other options for me.

    Did you put the iPad into Recovery Mode? Follow the steps in this Apple support document:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    It could be an internal hardware failure though, as the Apple technician explained. While not common these things do happen. If that's the case you options are to replace the iPad with an identical model using the Out of Warranty replacement process and paying the $299 fee or purchase a new replacement iPad.

  • IPad stuck after doing a restore to Factory settings.

    I bought an iPad from someone and they didnt restore it to factory settings. So I went to general settings on the iPad. I selected erase memory and rest settings. It has been running for about 20 hours. Is this normal and if not ,what do I do? Thanks

    No, a restore to factory setting takes but a few minutes. So something is wrong. I would force quit the iTunes app and disconnect the iPad from the computer.
    Then run Apple Software Update on your PC and make sure that you are using the most up-to-date version of the iTunes app. If Software Update shows new versions of both iTunes and QuickTime, do not install them together. Windows users report issues with this, especially with XP. Install QuickTime first. Restart your PC. Then install iTunes second and restart your PC.
    While doing the above, try to fully reset the iPad. Press the Power button and start the iPad. Then press & hold the Home and Power buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo appear.
    With iTunes up-to-date, connect the iPad to the PC and try a factory restore again.
    Let us know what happens. BTW, is this iPad 1 still under warranty?

  • Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

    my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

    - To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

  • Is there any way to email photos without having to use the themes?  I just want to send them from my email the way you used to be able to without all this "new and improved" nonsense.

    In the old iPhoto, if I wanted to email pictures, I would select the ones I wanted, have them sent as "smaller" to make them easier to process, and iPhoto would open my mail and I could type the names and I wanted and off they'd go.  And, I'd have a copy saved in my "sent" folder.
    Now, you have to deal with these ridiculous themes and in order to get a copy of your sent, you have to blind cc yourself.  This is definitely not an improvement in my mind.
    So I ask, is there any way around this or am I stuck?  I really like iPhoto, but this is enough to send my back to Picasa.

    Never mind gang.  I started seaching through some other support questions, and actually stumbled across the solution to my problem.
    Thanks to "John".
