Help with resetting ipad?

My mum has just turned her ipad on after it being switched off for 2 weeks, it has got an iCloud back up message on the screen which won't go away. I have read how to rest the ipad but will it delete all photos and videos?

A reset should help: Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart.
No content will be affected by this procedure.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

So what is your iPad doing, specifically? Are you having a problem when you try to sync it or back it up on iTunes? I think we need more information here before we can help...
Thanks,

Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

Help with my iPad one.

My iPad one keeps crashing. It never crashed before ios5. Now it even crashes when using Apple apps like Safari. I have done e latest upgrade.

Start with easy steps. Restart your iPad and if that doesn't help - maybe resetting it will help.
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.
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.
You can also try quitting apps and restarting the iPad.
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.
Clearing Safari may help with crashes in that app as well.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. 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.

Almost Christmas - I need Elves!!! Help with my Ipad gift

Happy Holidays all!!!
I bought my boyfriend an IPAD for Christmas and saw somewhere an Audiobook for Texas Hold Em Poker. He wants to learn to play the game better but it needs to be an audiobook. I actually bought him the IPAD primarily for this reason but now can't find the audiobook and I'm running out of time.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Tari

Happy holiday to you too.
http://www.amazon.com/Texas-HoldEm-Poker-Beginners-Package/dp/B000MTAZGI
Just so you know you can buy audiobooks from any site that sells them and just add them to the iPad via iTunes.
Also with an iPad he could just play Texas Hold'em and learn to do it that way so it would seem like you should add a bunch of Poker games too.
As just to make sure you know, you can only sync items with 1 iTunes account so even if you did buy the audiobook on iTunes using your account he wouldn't be able to listen to it using his acoount.
Any questions feel free to ask

Help with connecting iPad 2 to Motif xs keyboard using GarageBand.?

I have an iPad 2. I recently bought the iPad camera connection kit from amazon because I heard you can connect your iPad to a music keyboard with GarageBand. I have a Yamaha motif xs 8. When I connect my keyboard with a midi USB to the iPad.. Nothing happens. Can anybody help with this, and am I missing something in order to make this work???

It worked for me no problem but I'm using an ES Rack and the dude on the video I think was using an ES. It maybe the XS is wired differently. Your best option is still getting a piece like IK Multimedia's iRig Midi. It connects from the iPad dock to actual midi cables and is way more flexible if your using multiple devices.

Calm down. First, try plugging your iPad into a charger. If that dosen't work, try:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
First:
Verify you have installed the latest version of iTunes.
Verify that you are connecting iPad to your computer using a USB 2.0 port.
Make sure your iPad software is up to date: With your iPad connected to your computer, click “Check for
Update” in the Summary section of iTunes.
Charge your battery: Using the 10W USB power adapter that came with iPad, charge iPad for at least 20 minutes before further troubleshooting. If necessary, refer to "Charging the Battery" in the iPad User Guide.
THEN (if that didn't work):
Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Does your iPad not connect to iTunes?
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Need help with mirroring iPad Air in classroom

Not sure in the right community, so excuse me and redirect if needed.
I recently got an iPad Air and the lightning VGA adapter to connect my iPad to the projection system in my classroom. It will project the iPad screen on my computer monitor, but will not project onto the large screen through my projector. I was able to do this with my iPad 2 and the 30 pin VGA adapter, which would mirror onto both the computer screen and the big screen using my VGA splitter box. I use my iPad all the time to show students info from apps. Any ideas?
Thanks! Jen Nicholson, K-5 science lab teacher

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

In the mail app, I have tried to insert my mail account from from orange.sn. I am living overseas in West Africa. I have a POP(3) account that works fine with Windows Mail, but after inserting everything properly in the Mail account setting on my iPad, it still will not work. I have done everything Apple's help guides, user booklets and everything else said to do, but it simply won't work. Is Orange compatiple with the iPad? What could be the problem? Please help, its my only email account and it getting really frustrating.
Here is the message that pops up: "Cannot Get Mail. The Mail server "mail.orange.sn" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."

i googled orange senegal email setup and got the following. while it is written for a smartphone, any email set up instructions, such and the server names would probably be the same.
email - Orange Setup
email setup. With a compatible phone* you can send and receive email directly ... However if you have been an Orange customer for less than 12 months GPRS ...

Hello mattl1982
They are correct, if you have Activation lock with Find My iPad turned on then the people troubleshooting your iPad would not be able to get anywhere because your Apple ID password would need to be entered in to get to a home screen. Check out the articles below for more information about Activation Lock. As far as the original issue, what is going on with that?

Trouble with resetting iPad 2 to factory setting without a passcode

Hello,
My mother passed away and I'm trying to reset her iPad2 to factory settings without a passcode so I can give it to my grandmother to use.
I've got iTunes open and the iPad is in recovery mode. However, when I click "Restore iPad", it prompts me to open a file on my laptop. Not sure what it's looking for...
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

The following instructions from iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled may help:
Also, be aware that if Activation Lock is enabled, recovery mode will not disable that. iCloud: Activation Lock
Use recovery mode
Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
Disconnect all cables from your device.
Turn off your device.
Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
Click OK, then restore the device.
