How did I get IOS8 on my iPad when I never downloaded it (I do not have auto download)

Hi..all of a sudden I had IOS8 download only iPad mini and I never authorized it…I have manual downloads checked in my setting so how could this happen..

If you don't want iOS 8 at this time, do NOT press the install button under Settings/General/Software Update. Instead, go to Settings/Usage, wait for the list to partially populate, then tap "Show all Apps" and wait for the list to FULLY populate. Scroll though the list and find the iOS 8 update and delete it from there or else it will rob you of at least 3 GB of your storage space. At least this time around, apparently Apple is giving the user the option to delete the update. I have not verified this on my end, however other users have reported the ability to delete the download (as long as you have NOT installed it) However, they are still auto-pushing the update to devices *without the user's consent nor permission*. I feel for those who are on limited data and get this update pushed to them...Apple however doesn't seem to care.

You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

Why did I get a 2011 model ipad when I just purchased it from apple?

If you ordered an "iPad 2" (as shown in your profile), that model was created in 2011. The current model is called "iPad with Retina Display" (or "iPad 4" colloquially).

How do I get my bookmarks to list when I hit the bookmarks tab. I have to go to unsorted bookmarks to find them

In the old firefox, when I hit the bookmarks tab they were listed on the side bar. Now when I hit the bookmarks tab I have to go to the unsorted bookmarks and pick my bookmark from there. How do I get them to ist in the side bar like before?

In the Firefox 4.0 betas there are two different Bookmarks '''buttons''' (not "tabs"), The one that automatically appears when the Menu Bar is hidden and the orange Firefox button, is for the Bookmarks Menu Bar drop-down. The Bookmarks button that is in the Customize Palette is for opening and closing the Bookmarks Sidebar. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

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.

HT5457 How do I update my 1st generation IPAD to IOS 5.1 and I do not have a software update feature on it.

I have a 1st generation IPAD and it is currently running IOS 4.3. I would like to update it to IOS 5.1 but am having difficulty doing it. I have followed the update software instructions in ITUNES but my IPAD will not display the update software feature under General in Setttings. What do I need to do?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How do I get html5 on my iPad?

How do I get html5 on my iPad? Trying to download it doesn't work. Every time I try, a message box pops up and says "safari cannot download this file".

You don't need to download html5. It is not a plug in.
From Wikipedia....
HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web,
If the web site that you want to view is using html5, then then content will be viewable for you. You cannot convert Flash content to html5 on the iPad if that is what you want to do. html5 content has to be "built into" the website for you to view the content.
What exactly are you trying to do?

I was taking pictures on my iPad and all of a sudden these single white horizonital and vertical lines appeared on my photo off center connected to a little white box. How did they get there and how do I get rid of them.
Thanks,

Sounds like you have the Grid turned on. Tap Options and turn off Grid.
The grid is used to assist in composing a photo using "the rule of thirds". Rather than centering your subject line the subject up on a line or intersection of the line for a more pleasing photo. Landscape photos can also look better by aligning the horizon with one of the horizontal lines

Thanks - I tried to with my new Apple ID - as I had to update the software, although it warned me I'd lose content on my iPad. But I did the update, it took 30 minutes, but then did not work, as my iPad still has the older version of the software. What went wrong there?
