How do I erase the ipad off itunes and add it again?

I can't get on my ipad.  It keeps telling me to connect to itunes, but I can't connect because it is passcode protected.  I need to erase the device from itunes to add it again, but I don't know how!!  Help!

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • My iPad2 side switch is acting up, it will only allow me to have either sound or rotate. If I unmute the rotate won't work, if I mute the rotate works. How can I get the iPad to unmute and rotate? I have restored, downloaded updates and rebooted.

    You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

    Also, I wanted to know what each subscriptions included as far as my question above is concerned?
    I am trying to edit a scanned page (pdf file) by changing some words and erasing the background from the page that is showing through it since the paper is so thin and want to know which subscription to buy in order to complete these tasks?

    This cannot be done in Reader. I think you will need software like Photoshop. You may be able to get buy with Photoshop Elements, but I haven't used recent versions of that software. Using either software this will not be an automated task.

    I have an 8500a how, once I select the apps I want and add to the printer.  How do i get them to work? And is it always this slow....

    Hey jmknights!
    While I can't speak to how quickly the apps will work, I may be able to help you with how they work. Once you have the apps added to the printer you would select the app you want to print from on the printer's front panel. Once inside the app, select what you want to print and if all goes as it should, the printer should begin printing the requested information within a few seconds.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have updated my iPad to new version 6.0 how do I change the language my iTunes and apps now Spanish , iPad bought in uk , I live in Spain

    I Live in Spain but iPad bought in uk, just carried out version 6.0 update and now iTunes and App Store in Spanish how do I change it back to English ?!

    As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • How do I get the iPad to be like a refrigerator again? Won't go out when case is closed.

    Is it a glitch? If not, where in the preferences can I fix this? Thank you.

    The screen sleeps when the magnet in the cover is close enough to the face of the computer.   The sensor is on the face of the iPad just below the volume buttons.   If the cover is not close enough the magnet may not contact the sensor.   The magnet in some covers may shift and not be in the correct spot anymore.
    My leather cover doesn't close all the way anymore, just a little warped with age and use.   If I swivel the cover so the volume buttons are on the inside the magnet hits the spot easier.  
    I have elastic to hold it closed, that helps also or, Place it upside down. 

  • How do i take the playlist from itunes and put it into my iPhone 4S?

    I made a playlist via itunes and went to sync it with my iPhone 4S with no issue but the playlist didn't change over. Now i could just as easily make a playlist via the iPhone 4S and be done with it but I shouldn't have to and either i put all my music into a playlist and select playlist only then it might work but i'm looking for a suggestion to fix this issue with minimal affects. If the suggestion is to just put it as a playlist via the iPhone so be it. But I feel that's a bandaid on a missing limb. i wish Apple wouldn't make such drastic changes without user input.
    itunes : 11.0.1.12
    iphone: 4S
    IOS:     6.0.1

    Everything works as it always has regarding syncing in version 11 as it did in previous versions.
    Select the content desired to sync and sync.
    If you want to use "drag and drop" enable the option to manually manage content on the device.

  • My computer crashed.  I backed up everything on an external drive.  How do I get the backup of itunes and all my music back on my new computer?

    My computer crashed.  I had everything backed up on an external drive.  I have a new computer.  How do I get itunes back on my new computere from the external drive?

    This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.

  • HT2534 My iPhone has 2 email addresses but I only need one. How do I erase the other email address and simply use my main one. The other account is connected to another device so I do not need both addresses

    Hi,
    My mom and I have Apple devices (she has an iPhone 3G, and I have an iPod touch) .. I noticed that some of her apps require my password to my Apple ID and some of the other apps require her password for her Apple ID. When she first bought the phone, I used my Apple ID to download those apps since she was new to the Apple community. However, whenever she gets new updates, those apps still need my password (even though I've erased my account from her phone). Is there any possible way for her to update all of her apps using only one ID (hers) instead of using mine? It's very troublesome and I don't want to give her my password because she'll only end up losing it.
    If anyone can answer this question, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Sorry for the delayed response, yes i want to use my university account when replying to all emails.  Note i just discovered something, when i forward my university email to my icloud account and than responded from either my imac of my macbook air (i.e. in icloud) it automatically goes to my university account in the "from" space (good news!!!).  That is just what i wanted, .  While that is the good news, the bad news is that my iphone and ipad still treat this email as being from icloud even though it is forwarded (redirected) from my university account.  That is when i respond to an email (or for that matter create a new email in my icloud account) it automatically lists the icloud account as the "from" account and i have to go in and manually modify it.  So i am 50% there to solving my problem (i.e. actually did nothing the systems just worked well) but i still need to figure out a way to make this happen on my ipad and iphone. Any help or suggestions, note the default button in the iphone and ipad for email work differently than the default in the composition menu of the imac or macair.

  • How can I stop the nuisance video ads and add links being generatesd, since getting the latest Firefox update installed, I HATE them getting in the way?

    Little video ads appear at random times on the lower right of my screen. Also, in some sites a few "key words" are being converted into hyperlinks to unwanted advertisers. In some instances, we also see this appearing on the East Arkansas Community "Campus Connect" site, promoting other online educational organizations that are in potential competition with our institution. This is unacceptable.

    hello angrommet, this sounds like a problem caused by adware active on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
