How can I erase data on iPad when I have a dead screen?

I have a 32g 3g original version iPad. The screen is dead but I when I hook up to iTunes I can still see my data and sync etc. so the insides are working fine. I want to permanetly errase all the my personal data and settings. How can I do that when I can't see the ipad screen. A simple reset from iTunes will not do that will it?

You can restore it "as new device". Plug it into iTunes, press and hold the on/off and the home button at the same time until iTunes pops up saying it has detected a device in recovery mode. The restore it as a new device - that will wipe everything off it and return it to essentially the way it was once activated right out of the box.

HT4623 how can I get into my Ipad when I have forgotten my passcode

Someone in the family has changed the passcode to my Ipad - It could have been me - but no one remembers doing it. We are now locked out of the Ipad. How can I get back in!

Connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

How can i import data to ipad from pc ?

how can i ımport data to ipad from pc ?

It would help if you said what sort of data you want to transfer - documents, spreadsheets, powerpoint, etc .
In order to transfer files to the iPad you will first need one or more apps on the iPad that supports those file types - without an app the files cannot be saved (apart from as email attachments), as unlike 'normal' computers the iPad doesn't have a file system and files/documents have to be stored/associated with an app. Once you've got an app then, depending on what it is, transfer might be done via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email attachments, Dropbox etc.
If you want to transfer/support Word and Excel documents then Documents To Go is one option (http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8) and how to transfer to/from it is described on this pagehttp://support.dataviz.com/support.srch?docid=14497&pid=198 (the 'premium' version of the app also supports editing Powerpoint files instead of just viewing them)

How can i get into my ipad when i forgot my password?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

How can I erase (or remove) the hard drive from a dead Time Capsule?

How can I erase (or remove) the hard drive from a dead Time Capsule?

I found this having had the same problem...
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=553818
Having removed the hard drive I'm finding I can't reformat it. I manage to mount the HD but Disk Utility crashes when trying to format (HD attached to Mac via Newer Tech. SATA cables to USB) and causes what I think is a kernal panic on my Mac which hard crashes. I see 3 partitions when attempting to mount one of which is AFP. Anyone got any ideas about how to do this? I've dug around but the only progress I've made is to note others have had to work around ACL's when replacing the logic board of the TC. Not sure if this even relates to the problem. However the tool for doing this seems to have been removed from SL. (Forum references to this procedure all relate to 10.5).

How can i do with labview program,when i have 20 different values,and 1 want to add it with constant value.and how to get the results?

how can i do with labview program,when i have 20 different values,and 1 want to add it with constant value.and how to get the results?

Why do the 20 values have to be different? The same code should work even if some are equal.
What do you mean by "get the result"? The result is available at the output terminal and all you need is a wire to get it where you need it. That could be an indicator, another operation, or even a hardware device.
What is the data type of the 20 values? An array? A cluster? A bunch of scalars? A waveform? Dynamic data?

How can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

how can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

Put it in recovery mode to restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screenand iOS: Recovery mode
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

How can I erase data on TC from older MBP?

I had a 1st. Gen. MBP and all it's data was backed up on my 1TB TC.
I Recently bought the new 15" MBP and restored all data I had on older version by using my TC.
My problem came when I turned on the TM on my new MBP...
It made a full Backup, duplicating all data I had on my older version. and lowering the free space I had on my TC. instead of just keep going with my new MBP.
How can I erase old data from my previous MBP on my TC?

Welcome to the discussions!
Open your Hard Drive and look under SHARED for the TC icon
Click the icon and then double click the Time Capsule folder
You should now see several xxxxx.sparsebundle files
Each sparsebundle file displays the name of the computer and its MAC address
Click the sparsebundle file that you want to delete
Click the gear shaped icon just above and select Move to Trash
Be very careful as the file will be deleted quickly and cannot be recovered.

If you're selling your iPad or passing it on to someone else, the first thing you'll want to do is make sure they won't have access to any of your personal data. Wipe iPad data before selling: contacts, messages, photos, videos, apps, account info, passwords and other personal data stored on iPad.

‘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 canceling 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.

How can we show data in rows when it is in Columns........

I have strucked with a simple but a complex problem.
I have a Report with data in vertical rows..need of the hour is how can we show that data into column structure.
here is the table sample which i have in Database..
Location      chrg_type    Effective_date
xxxxxxx        xxxx          xx-xx
thhis is the structure in effective date we have several months in it in a single column i want show the effective date or effective month in various columns instead of a single column.
my required table is....
                            Effective_date     Effective_date
Location      chrg_type     xx-xx              xx-xx
xxxxxxx        xxxx          xx-xx
any tough heads?????

Hi Sunil,
Your 1st problem is that you are going to need one more field to accomplish you goal. What type of data do want under your new date columns?
Anyway, once you have that you need to move on to how to move the data out into columns based on date.
Try something like this.
0_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',CurrentDate) AND
DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',CurrentDate)
THEN {tbl.DataField}
1_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',DATEADD('m', -1, CurrentDate)) AND
DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',DATEADD('m', -1, CurrentDate))
THEN {tbl.DataField}
2_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',DATEADD('m', -2, CurrentDate)) AND
DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',DATEADD('m', -2, CurrentDate))
THEN {tbl.DataField}
... Repeat this process until you have all of the columns you need, following this format.
Hope this works for you,
Jason
