I just bought a new iPad and can't get the text messaging to work. When I try to address the message a red exclamation point appears and says the person is not registered. How do I register them? They are already in my contacts list & they all are active in my iPhone text messaging.

Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

How to find files when my purchased and downloaded songs have red exclamation point and say file cannpot be found?

I recently replaced my PC and when I attempted to reinstall Itunes and sync to my Ipod Classic, many purchased songs and downloaded songs now have a red exclamation point to their left and a windo appears saying that the file cannot be found. How do I locate these files? Thanks!

Normally by default iTunes library files are in "My Document/My music/iTunes/Itunes Music" for earlier iTunes version. but the newer iTunes put it in a new folder "iTunes Media" instead of "iTunes Music" You can also search a music file name that you downlloaded and see where that folder is.
If you have transfered the old PC iTunes library files to your new PC, you still need to tell the new iTunes, where they are located. If your old PC iTunes is earlier than iTunes 9, then you got to move it from ../iTunes Music to ../iTunes Media folder. and point iTunes to where all your files are.

Iphone 5 stollen got a new one but can't get the icloud backup

My Iphone was stollen and I put on lost mode on "find my Iphone". Now I have a new one and I'm trying to get the backup from icloud, but I always get a message that my Apple ID is locked. I've already reset my password twice and deleted the previous equipment from the app (Find my Iphone), but I still can't get the backup.
what should I do?? Tks

For you to get the pictures off the old device, you would need to have connected the device to the computer in the past, so you could select it to trust the devices. Without a working screen on the device you will not be able to do that. Because of that, you would not be able to even use your computer to navigate the file system to get the photos. Since you never created a backup in iTunes, did you do one in iCloud? If not, then the pictures cannot be recovered. Why would you not backup your phone, or import photos to the computer like you would with a digital camera?

‘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.

Hey LamFY,
Thanks for the question. The short answer is Yes. Once you change your Apple ID primary email address, the previous email address will be freed up for use with another account:

Be sure to follow all of the steps in this resource, most importantly the first step of signing out of all Apple features and services.

Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod? My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
Family member's Game Center on my iPad!

Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email.
