How can i turn off the rotten restrictions, its so easy to turn on but impossible to turn the stupid thing off

i have been trying for days to turn restrictions off, but there is no easy way to do it, i dont have the password as i bought it from someone and they say they dont know it, it is stopping me from doing many things.
I am so frustrated with this I PAD it is not user friendly at all, sorry i bought it now, i found a message to tell me how to do a reset, which tells me to go to the summary button, but cannot find it anywhere, go to help and its no **** help at all, 144 pages of no help in the manual its totally confusing and make for computer geeks not the new users.
Is there someone out there that is smarter than the fools who set up IPADS in the first place. that can help me reset this dang thing b4 i throw it up the wall

I don't think that you will necessarily need recovery mode as long as it is only the restrictions Passcode that you need to reset.
First of all, you should be upset with the person that you sold you an iPad that had a restrictions Passcode that they could not remember. They put you in a bit of a bind. You have to erase the device and start over now, which is what the person that sold you the device should have done before they sold it to you.
Connect the iPad to any computer running iTunes - ideally your own if you have content that you want to sync. Launch iTunes. Click on the iPad name on the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on the Restore button. This will restore the iPad to factory settings and erase the restrictions Passcode.
If you are running iTunes 11 - go to View>Show sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen so that you can see the iPad under the devices heading.
You absolutely must do this on a computer running iTunes or you will never be able to unlock the restrictions.
This explains how to restore, although I gave you the instructions above.

  • How can you set up your iphone 4s to show 2 seperate email address but that are on the same domain

    I have 2 email address linked to me on Outlook. one is a personal one for me and one is a group email address but both on the same domain.
    I have my own inbox set up on my iphone and i have tried to set up the group email address on my iphone, but because the credentials are the same, it is only bringing through my emails and not the one for the seperate email address - is there a way round this?
    Many thanks

    What do you mean "the credentials are the same"? The part of the email address before the @ should be different. If not then you do not have two different email addresses.
    Just go into the mail settings and choose add account. Enter the info for the second account. It won't matter that your incoming and outgoing smtp server are the same. If it did how could millions of people all use Yahoo or Google?
    If what you really have is one email account with a rule set to send specific emails to another folder, someone else will have to help you.

  • How can I see my messages again? Messages in my Inbox are there but invisible...the Inbox appears empty (but isn't)

    All Inbox emails can't be seen but can be opened by a right click and 'Open Message in New Tab'.
    The Inbox appears blank but if clicked on then the shaded bar of an e-mail appears so they are all there. I've several Inboxes (this is my main and most important) and they seem unaffected.
    Moving an e-mail elsewhere takes its invisibility with it! Other folder contents show up.
    The Repair Folder in Properties seems to have no effect.

    And attached is a screen grab showing selected e-mails in the Inbox...the white space below are e-mails too!

  • How can I scroll around an image if its zoomed out?

    Hey guys, quick one for you.
    I have no problem using the hand tool/spacebar to scroll around an image when zoomed into it, but as soon as I can see the whole thing I can't scroll around anymore and its just locked to the center
    I am a After Effects user so I find this a bit annoying that I can't do this, so I figure there MUST be a setting somewhere I could change to enable it.
    Thanks!

    Sorry but "How can I scroll around an image if its zoomed out?" has got to be one of the stupidest question I've heard on this forum in some time. Brandon really needs to think before posting.
    I've noticed your usual vitriol toward people having simple questions has ramped up about 200% since the advent of Jive, Buko. Maybe you need to disengage, or neck some holy fermented blue agave juice and take a nap?
    I see the question as perfectly cromulent, and I use the suggestion I've given quite often. Apparently, a good reason why anyone would want to do that has escaped you, and it's made you even crankier than usual. So you react by giving the gift of vile condescension instead of just ShuttingTFU and letting someone else handle it. (Next time you blast Ramon for the same thing, take a look at your own behavior). And apparently, it's not enough for you to just accept that the way someone else wants to work is different than your workdflow, or is something that never even occurred to you. Maybe some folks just want an answer to their question, and secretly wish you'd shove your bad attitude up your [asterisk-substituted name for your lower-dorsal body opening]. Of course, some folks are just too polite, or they're new visitors here and won't say that to you because they don't know the legacy players and behaviors here. But I'm not either of those things, and I will. Because if you can dish it out, surely you can take it, right? RIGHT!?!?
    Now...why do I think the question is worth answering? Sometimes I want to be able to have an entire smallish image visible at 100% magnification in order to view it as it will appear in its final destination. AND I want to do some work on it while keeping all my currently-open Palettes visible; maybe I want to move my image out of the way of a big dialogue box I've called up. (I'm only working on one monitor...sorry if that makes your hardened jaw drop down to your chest).
    In Single-Window made mode I'd have to grab and move the whole window, but I can't do that if I have a big dialogue window open. In full screen mode I can scroll around and see all parts of that image at 100% without having to Tab my palettes to their hidden state, or shove my open dialogue nearly off-screen.
    Think past your own nose, Dude! And LightenTFUp!

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
    The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image.  You have a few choices about how to change it:
    One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference.  This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image.  This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
    Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on).  This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
    Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8.  This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width.  Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

  • I have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk?

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

  • Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
    Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

    How can I activate an old version of Photoshop that I've loaded on my new tablet? The web activation doesn't work, and when I call the number, it says it's not being used anymore. Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated. HELP?  I really need to continue using this product for my home business.It works fine not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 more days if I don't get it activated, and none of the activation methods they list seem to work.

  • How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09.  I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

    How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09.  I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

    how do i change the format to the right one?
    Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

  • Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

    iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone.
