How do I change my iPAD 2 to US, from UK?  I want US content and apps.  Although I live in the US, I set it up when I was in the UK on a trip, and now only access UK stuff.  Help?

I recently won an iPAD 2 on a trip to Europe, and registered it while staying at my sister's house in the UK.  Now I'm home in the US, I can't seem to access content / applications that are intended for the US market.   How do I reset the iPAD so that I get US content, rather than UK?  Would a total reset back to factory settings do the trick?  Would I then have an opportunity to set up the iPAD from scratch, registering it in the US?  Thanks.

What you want to do is go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Then go down to Country/Region and you can change the region in there.
However, you must have a valid credit card registered to an address in the U.S.
You may also need to go to the App Store and change the country/region in there as well. When you tap on the featured tab in the App Store - swipe down to the bottom and tap on your ID in the left corners and follow the procedure above.
I am curious - were you using a credit card register in the UK?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How do I change my iPad apple ID from my wife that I am currently using to mine that I just created

    I kindly need an answer for the question above

    If you want to erase the iPad and start all over again - go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That will completely erase the iPad and Yoy can configure the device from scratch.
    If you want to switch ID's on the iPad go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap the ID and sign out, sign in with the other ID.

  • I downloaded movies onto my iPad to watch when I was abroad, I synchronised with my laptop and now they are not on my iPad how can I get them back?

    I downloaded movies onto my iPad to watch when I was abroad, I synchronised with my laptop and now they are not on my iPad how can I get them back?

    If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app.  Look there and see if they are still there.
    If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows.  If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
    If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
    To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again.  Make sure you transfer purchases first.   Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

    Hi RyanQuilty,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first step on your new computer is to install the latest version of iTunes:

    Before connecting your iPad to the new computer, I would suggest backing it up to iCloud, and changing your sync settings to "manual" on the new computer:

    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch inSettings > iCloud > Backup & Storage,
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • LR 5.5 upgrade. I only get the the 32 bit set up and an error when the 64 bit set up should be created. It says not enough disk space and no access to write. The disk space is ok and the 32 bit file was indeed created.

    Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.

  • How do I change my iPad mini's SIM PIN when I cannot remember what the original PIN was?

    I went to enter a new PIN so I could lock my iPad's SIM card and was asked to enter a number. At some point, I must have entered a number already, because I got a message that I had entered the wrong one.  I can't seem to choose the "change PIN" option, probably because I can't recall the original one. How to I change the SIM PIN? What happens if I use up all my chances at entering the PIN and don't hit on the correct one?

    Thank you for the reply.
    I have one chance left to enter a number and then I will be locked out of
    4G service.  So, I have not tried 1111. What will that number do?
    When I log into MyVerizon, it does not offer "view all" as an option under
    My Device. Instead, under My Device it only offers the following:

    There is no place I can find that provides with a PIN or PUK. I have tried
    clicking on all the options listed above.

  • I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

    To clarify Settings > General > International > Language is set to English?

  • How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    If your wife's cell number was listed on the iPad, you must have set up the iPad using her iCloud account (Apple ID) instead of your own. iCloud automatically populates the phone number to other devices with the same iCloud account, but you should be able to deactivate it.
    That number that is assigned to your iPad is just an internal routing and billing number for your carrier. My carrier (AT&T) makes a clear statement in the legal documents that this number is not for phone calls or (SMS or MMS) messages, just for data delivery. For whatever reason, Apple does not allow it to be used in the iMessages system.

  • Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.
