Are ipad 4 locked

You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

    An apple representative told me its ok to buy a Ipad mini wifi cellular because they are NOT locked devices, I can just take the at&t chip out and put in another carrier. and it will work

    I thought apple change the name from Wifi + 3G to Wifi + Cellular because it has features to work just like a cell. e.g. recive calls and text etc.
    My question is can it really do that? or is their an app I can down load to received calls with the cellular data number and also send out calls? or sms messages?

  • How do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (perhaps a webapp)

    how do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (just one web app, or video- instructions, or just safari). What I really want is that my customers to only use one app that has all my services. It is an interactive app so I would not like them to go surfing elsewhere while they are in my store.
    Is it possible to do this on the iPad ?

    Try this:
    LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

  • All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again.

    First Issue:   All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again?  If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them? 
    Second Issue:   When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP)  All my photos loaded onto my iPad2.  I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!!  How do I get them off?  Next time I synced, they loaded again!  Now I have so many duplicates!  How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

    If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

    ‘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.

  • I have problem with my iphone 5 when I talk my ear allways tuch the screen and get it on no sound, the screen are not lock, is that possible

    I have problem with my Iphone 5, when I talk my ear allways tuch the screen and get it on no sound, the screen are not lock, is ti possible to lock the screen when incomming an outgoing call going on

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • Please help! iPad locked while using it with Apple TV

    If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it!
    For some reason, my mom's iPad (first generation) is having an issue with the password. My mom uses her iPad daily, so she certainly didn't forget her 4 digit password, and yet, we can't unlock the iPad. We've tried so many times that we are currently locked out for an hour.
    I have no idea if the following is the reason that the password no longer works, but I might as well descibe what I was doing that may have caused it to stop working.
    I bought a new soundsystem for my mom's television. We also have an Apple TV hooked up to the TV. I was testing out the sound system by trying to Netflix from Apple TV through the new sound system. In what I imagine to be a totally unrelated problem, the sound system wasn't working with the Apple TV unless the sound system is connected directly to Apple TV (via optical cable).
    Anyways, in the midst of trying to figure all of this out, I was using my mom's iPad to control the Apple TV (as opposed to using the remote control that comes with the Apple TV). I was having no issues using the gestures on the iPad to control the Apple TV. Then, after so many minutes of the iPad being idle, I re-awakened the iPad to see that I needed to input the 4 digit password. I asked my mom for her password, tried several times, and it didn't work. Then I had my mom try herself, and the 4 digit pw didn't work. We had to wait several minutes before trying again. We're now at the point where we're having to wait 60 minutes to try an input the 4 digit pw again.
    I'm wondering if there was something happening with the Apple TV that caused the iPad to mess up somehow? Any ideas?!?
    I'm very confused right now. I would hate to have to restore my mom's iPad and have her lose the hundreds of pictures that she saved on there.
    I connected my mom's iPad to my Mac (she doesn't have her own computer) to see if that would work, but my Mac is saying that my mom's iPad is locked.
    I can't remember the last time we synced my mom's iPad to any computer. It's possible that the last time it was synced was with my old Mac Mini that I haven't used since December. Would connecting it to my old Mac Mini yield potentially helpful results??

    I suggest that in addition to waiting out the 60 minute period, try resetting the iPad.  (Do both.)
    Reset it by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • Is the iPad locked or unlocked?

    Sigh...
    For the last three weeks after countless of calls to Apple USA/Canada, AT&T and Rogers...I have been getting different answers everytime! Out of 40% of Apple representatives claimed that the iPad is LOCKED. While duh, it says so on Apple.com that it is UNLOCKED! When Steve Jobs announced the iPad in the keynote he mentioned "The Magical Revolutionary iPad is UNLOCKED!"
    AT&T has been very unhelpful and every one of them claim that the device is LOCKED.
    Who am I to believe???

    US market iPads are effectively locked to AT&T because there is no other cellular provider with a compatible service, however, the iPad itself is not locked. Prior to the launch in other countries, US iPads have been used successfully with service providers elsewhere.

  • Ipad locked with someone else icloud

    ipad locked with someone else icloud

    Apple implemented an anti-theft feature called Activation Lock earlier this year.  It is described here:

    The former owner's Apple ID and password are required to use the iPad.  Without that, the iPad will be locked forever.

  • Why does Ipad lock after failing your RESTRICTION code

    Why Does the ipad lock after failing your RESTRICTIONS passcode I mean what could possibly changing restrictions have to do with people doing stuff bad on you ipad why make it lock you from your ipad tell me why apple WHY

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    As far as I know Apple haven't said. What's your definition of 'bad stuff' ? Being able to disable restrictions can potentially unhide the App Store and/or iTunes store apps, and allow in-app purchases to be made - therefore allowing purchases to be made on your account.

  • HT4623 ipad locked

    Hello,
    my iPad locked and I don't know the password. How can I restore it back.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:

    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • HT4061 my ipad locked up and now it won't turn on

    My Ipad locked up on me and now it won't even turn on

    I've heard a lot of different theories on how to revive water-damaged iPods. You should search the forums--you will most likely get hundreds of similar posts. Methods I can think of off of the top of my head are:
    1. Put in a warm bowl of rice in a warm spot
    2. Put on a sunny windowsill for several hours
    3. (probably don't try unless you're totally desperate) put in a warm oven on a towel with the door open for a very short time
    These are only a few options... if you use the search option you will find many, many more.
