HT4623 cannot activate ipad after backup on my computer

I did a backup on my laptop and now I cannot access my IPAD mini as it is asking for me to activate it with my apple ID and password. This I have done but still cannot access it.Can anyone help?

Hi,
Thanks, I tried this but it didn't work. It turned out I had to follow the instructions for
If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed
and update the driver this way from portable devices since there was nothing in the USB list.
Everything is back to normal.
Cheers,

TS3274 Cannot unlock iPad

"Slide to unlock" Does not work.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Try rebooting the iPad by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

Possibly by mistake, you posted your iPad question in the support forum for the Apple wireless routers.....the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule.....the products shown below:

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or quit the settings app and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds. i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Cannot delete old iPad iCloud backup "because it is in use"

I previously owned an iPad 3 which I sold a few weeks ago. After buying an iPad Air, I restored it from the iPad 3 backup in iTunes, and now I want to delete the iCloud backup of the old iPad 3. However, when trying to delete the iCloud backup I get the popup:
"This backup cannot be deleted because it is in use."
I've tried to delete the iPad 3 iCloud backup both from my iPad Air and on my iPhone 5 devices, but the same popup appear. Worth mention is that after buying the iPad Air, I first tried to set it up from the iPad 3 iCloud backup, but all items wasn't fully restored, so decided to restore the new iPad Air from the iPad 3 backup in iTunes.
Is the anyone who has experience the issue of not being able to delete an old iCloud backup? How can I try to solve it? I've tried to restart my devices and I've also deleted both my iPhone 5 iCloud backup and my new iPad Air backup, but it's still not possible to delete the old iPad 3 backup.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. I found this in the Apple Support page
You'll be notified if a backup is in use.
If you try to delete a backup but get an alert that the backup is in use, wait 48 hours before trying again. A backup is considered in use if it was recently created by another iOS device or is being restored by another iOS device. If you can't delete the backup after 48 hours, contact Apple Support.
Find the full article here: iCloud: Deleting an iCloud backup
Hope this helps.

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file>devices>transfer purchases. It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

HT4061 I cannot switch my IPAD on and it will not power up - i had this problem before and cannot remember how we fixed it?
