Erasing ipad 2 with non-working digitizer.
The digitizer is kaput on my iPad 2, as well as a few other problems, and I'd like to sell the unit for parts, but, how do I completely erase personal information if I can't see the desktop? When I plug the iPad into my MacBook I can see some of the content on the laptop screen but nothing that I can use erase everything.
Not sure what you mean by you can see some of the content, but all that you need to see when the devict is connected to iTunes is the Restore button. If you can click on that, you can restore to factory settings to erase it.
If not, then using Find my iPhone should work. Log into iCloud.com your Mac, and erase it that way as suggested above.

How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?
How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?
What devices?
The iPad can only pair with earphones, speakers and keyboards.
It cannot directly pair with other phones or computers for file transfer or other operations.
Most Bluetooth devices will have a user guide to connect them to other devices. follow that to start the process.
From the iPad side, its just a matter of going inot Settings->BlueTooth turning it on, and searching for the device to pair. -
US iPad 2 with 3G working properly in HK
I am plan to purchase a iPad 2 with 3G service in USA, but I am not sure that can I use 3G service in Hong Kong properly or any password defaulted.
You should buy the US AT&T iPad.
By removing the AT&T micro-SIM card and popping in a new micro-SIM card for the iPad you can use your iPad anywhere in the world provided the new carrier actually supports the iPad on its network. -
Frozen iPod touch with non-working lock button.
My daughter's iPod has frozen on a web page. The lock button doesn't work so she uses the assistive touch but even that won't work and can't do a hard reset...help,

Installs blootware on PC too
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is IPAD 2 with 3G working in Middle East?
if i buy one IPAD2 with 3G from online apple store, they ask me AT&T or Verizon. which one can i select? becuase i need it to work on the 3G on Saudi Arabia or Jordan. which one will work? or the IPAD will be locked and i can't do anything? please i need answer becuase i want to buy it immediatly from apple store. Thanks.
You want the AT&T model since that one use GSM and SIM chips. GSM will work in almost all places with the appropriate SIM from your carrier. The Verizon one uses CDMA which does not use a SIM chip and is little uses outside the USA.

I've been subsribed to bug #723487 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723487) for a year and a half, and I identified a problem in the way mozilla's site delivers the linux version of firefox almost a year and a half ago, but for reasons unknown to me, no one bothered to address this problem.
Other, properly built web sites that deliver binary software packages for linux, can successfully recognise if the user downloading firefox is using a 32bit or 64bit Linux distribution, and offer the appropriate version. Try www.libreoffice.org if you think that my claims are false.
But this somehow doesn't work with mozillas website, the website recognizes that the user's operating system is Linux, but doesn't try to figure out if it's a 32bit or 64bit linux, so the users end up with 32bit builds of firefox by default, which then don't work on their 64bit sytems.
The problem is even more intensified due to the rather stupid naming convention used by mozilla - both the 32 and the 64 bit versions are simply named identicaly - for instance firefox-29.0b6.tar.bz2 for the 29 beta 6 version. Other sane software producers (libreoffice, nvidia, qt-project) names their binary packages with different names (eg. the "x86" string is used for the 32bit version, "x64" for the 64bit version) so that the users don't end up trying to use (unsucsesfully; getting a cryptic error message) the wrong version. But in mozilla's case we end up with a lot of confused users filing bug reports, like the bug I mentioned above.
So to rephrase my question - is someone willing to do something about this (the QA Mentor who commented in bug #723487 has so far proven to be completely useless)?The 64-bit Linux builds have been listed on the http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ page since Firefox 27.0 or 26.0 I believe.

I have an hp pavilion laptop with non working usb ports
I just called HP to order a replacement OS cd so I can restore this computer -- I've tried everything else to no avail! I was just told by the hp technician that an HP laptop that is not yet 5 years old that I paid nearly $800 for is GARBAGE! He actually indicated I should throw it away!!
I have no words to sufficiently express my disappointment. I will never buy another HP product.The DV6000 series was very prone to motherboard failures of all kinds, it might be time for an upgrade.

My FaceTime doesn't work... I would call a person, they would accept, and then I would be stuck in a never ending "connecting".. And this problem has been according with not just my ipad, but with other people's iDevices that I know.
-My wifi connection is running strong
-All the devices run the same version of iOSTry this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.
I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.
