Lost Ipad today and erased on find my Iphone then later i found it before it was able to erase via wifi how can I reverse the request for erasing to keep all my current content the same

     Today I lost my IPad and was FREAKING OUT !!!!!   When a couple of store attendants told me to use the ICLOUD find my Iphone option in order to erase all the content just in case it fell into wrong hands.    Within an hour via survelance video we located the ipad prior to being able to connect to internet and erase everything.
    Now I am keeping the power off keeping it untouched or unerased,   QUESTION TO COMMUNITY????    Is there a way for me to successfully avoid the erase process  that is due to occurr once I power up and hit the WIFI????   Appreciate any input up front,    BRfromGR

You cannot prevent it from being erased now. But surely you backup with iCloud or iTunes and/or sync with iTunes so when you get the iPad up and running again, just restore from your iCloud backup, or your iTunes backup and then sync with iTunes again and you will be OK.
If you don't backup or sync .... Well then you should probably think about doing so in the future. Out of the mouth of a Apple ......
If you erase then find your iOS device, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see iCloud storage and backup overview, or your device’s user guide in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.

    You would need to purchase a seat for each user.

  • HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
    An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer.  This is what you see when you open iTunes.
    So, do you mean account or library?  You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved.  You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • HT3887 under the on  blue tooth ...how can i reverse ..ignore this device setting.....during the set up ofa Jam speaker i  pushed ignore this device......now the ipod touch will not discover the speaker    thanks Greg

    when I was setting up a JAM speaker , under the blue tooth slide bar , I pushed ignore this device.  Now the speaker is not discoverable....How can I reverse this action to set the speaker

    Hello skywalker eyedoc,
    If you chose to "forget" a device in the bluetooth settings, you'll simply need to put that device back into pairing mode (or "discovery" mode) for the iPod touch to find it once more. You may need to refer to the bluetooth speaker's documentation or manufacturer for information on how to do so.

  • Steve jobs have you seen Logitech Revue google tv for only 99 bucks ya'll are supposed to be the cutting edge from the iphone 1 to now the 4 i have owned them all i currently own the ipad 1 and two and i love your products but i must say  catch up

    Here it is in question form
    How can logitec and google sell something so affordable That is not so futuristic ? From the first to the fourth the Iphone has been my companion
    In many so ways . Currently I own the Ipad 1 and 2   Let me tell you now the ipad 2 camera *****  compare it to the iphone 4
    Steve Jobs thank you for your vision but my question still stands . 99 bucks even if it is crap i.ll roll the dice your turn

    If it does the job for you and you are happy with it then that's all that matters. I assume you are unaware that you are one of a very small minority as google Tv actually had negative sales last quarter, yes that's right more people returned them for their money back than were sold.
    Did you have a question.

  • Lost Ipad (Wi-fi only) with Find My Iphone enabled.

    I've set the Ipad to "lost mode" including a passcode and a "call me" message on the homescreen. It is currently listed as "offline." Assuming whoever found it tries to get online (and thus allow me to track it) won't the passcode prevent them from doing so? In other words, how can I track it if they are never able to unlock it and sign into a wi-fi network. Also, will my effort to remotely install a passcode even work if they never attempt to get online? How will my remote efforts even work since it's not 4G?
    In the interest of clarity (and at the risk of over-explaining): should I remove the attempt at a remote passcode in hopes that whoever has it will attempt to get online and thus allow me to track it? (Stupidly, I did not have a passcode set to unlock the Ipad before I lost it).
    Thanks.

  • I keep getting an Error -23 on Ipad when I was trying to upgrade?  Now I can not get it to restore or even open, all it shows it the Itunes Icon.  What do I need to do to fix this, please?

    I keep getting an Error -23 on my Ipad?  Now when I try to restore it, I get the same error?  What do I need to do to fix this issue.

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • How can we get a url for a "Meet Now" conference call from within the Windows Store App?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to get the url for the current meeting / new "Meet Now" call from within the Windows Store app?
    You have the option of inviting your current Lync contacts, but I don't see a way of giving a URL to clients that would launch Lync on their device, or take them to the web app.
    I can see how to get the link using the Outlook plugin, for pre-scheduled meetings. Is this link always the same and the one that should be used for an impromptu "Meet Now" meeting? It would still be good to know how to get this URL from within
    the store app so I can tell clients where to get it.
    Some people may be on Windows RT devices and not have access to the plugin in Outlook, and want to start a meeting at short notice and then invite others via email or pasting a link to them elsewhere.
    Any help appreciated.
    If I have answered your question, please mark it as the correct answer. If I have provided helpful information, please mark it as so.

    Hi,
    Agree with Holger, I check on my Lync Windows Store app and can't find the meeting URL as well.

  • How can I delete more than one Email (but not ALL) at once in the new Mail program?

    In OS X 10.7 it was possible to just right click an email and then scroll down or up to delete i.e. 10 Emails at once. But in OS X 10.8 this doesn't work anymore. I have to delete one mail after the other which is exhausting after a while and with a lot of emails! But I don't want to delete all of them (would be too easy with CTRL-A and then Return) just a few. Any ideas? I didn't find it out yet and I want it the easy Mac-Way and not the complicated Windows-way
    Thanks for any inout on that!!

    You can now double-click and drag down the list of emails to select multiple, consecutive messages to delete.
    For non-consecutive messages, command-click on the ones you want to delete.

  • What can I do simply  to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new  iTunes on my new Mac?

    Friends,
    I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
    Now,  I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
    When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
    But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized  iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
    What can I do just like that, simply  to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new  iTunes on my new Mac?
    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
    As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
    Very Important ....
    1. Authorize the computer.
    2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
    3. Transfer purchases
    The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
    The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

    One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

  • ICal error "400" the request for account fail!!

    iCal on my Macbook keeps on popping up with the following:
    The server responded with an error.
    The request for account “myemail (at) yahoo.com” failed.
    The server responded with
    “400”
    to operation CalDAVCalendarSplitDualTypeCalendarQueueableOperation.
    I don't even have a calendar account with my yahoo account, since I use my gmail and iCloud calendar. I went into system preferences and made certain the "calendars" option was unchecked for my yahoo account in the Internet Accounts page. Nonetheless, iCal pops up with the same error message multiple times within the hour. I'm not sure why iCal is even requesting for my yahoo calendar, since I have never used it in iCal since day one. Any ideas?

    Just out of curiosity, did you install FileZilla recently? The install comes with malware called Speedial. You may have noticed that your default search engine in all browsers is set to Yahoo, and furthermore impossible to override via the normal course of action.
    Removing Yahoo from local apps is easier than resetting them. All I had to do was delete the (added without my consent) Yahoo account from System Preferences, and the iCal Yahoo calendar disappeared momentarily.
