I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

Hello anacc,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

My friend borrowed my old iPhone 4. I wanted to erase all the data but I dont have a password and my friend doesnt know his password. How can I erase the data without using a password?

My friend borrowed my iPhone. I want to sell the iPhone, but first I have to erase all the data that belong too my friend. I don't know his password and he doesn't know either. Is it possible to erase the data without using a password?
thanks!

You need the password if it is iCloud locked you won't be able to activate the phone for use.
As long as he remembers his email, you can reset the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password
or Forgot Apple ID
https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
If it is a lock screen password, you can do a restore.
Hold down power and home for 10 seconds and release power but keep holding down home. iTunes will say your phone is in recovery mode so you can restore it.

I used my id to download an app on my sister's ipad. Now my email account is visible on her ipad too. How can I reset her ipad without deleting my id, apps and docs?

I used my Apple id to download an app on my Sister's new ipad. Now my email account is visible on her ipad too. If I reset her ipad, will that delete my id, apps and docs on my ipad?

I figured out the solution to the problem. First I de-authorized her ipad in my itunes account and in Settings : Mails-Contacts -Calendars, I deleted Yahoo as her default mail account. It was that simple afterall and I didn't need to reset anything.

How do i unlock my ipad without using the passcode

is it possible to unlock you ipad without a password

No.
If you have forgotten the iPad passcode and you cannot unlock the device, you have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.
They should have done this.

Help open my iPad

Sorry, I've never used these support communities:( thanks for taking the time to help. My daughter has locked herself out of her iPad mini, can't remember her password. She's not near our home computer. Can she restore the iPad with just the iPad or does it need to be connected to a computer & go through iTunes? Thanks

How do you reset an ipad mini without knowing the password?

I have just recently changed my password, but know i have forgot the new one. How do you reset the ipad without knowing the password?

If you mean the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
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.

Please help me in this, How can i add my outlook email to my ipad without useing the Exchange Service?

I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account.

Select your iPad under devices in the iTunes source list to make the various tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes available in the main iTunes window.

How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer.

How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer??? Looking to download some videos people created using Dr. Jean music. My kid used Dr. Jean in preschool and wanted to keep singing them at home.
Looking for a friend that doesn't use a computer. I myself have downloaded some kids educational stuff and added to itunes and then put on ipod/ipad using firefox.
Is there an easy way, so they don't go to the photo roll??
thanks in advance.

There are some Apps you can use, but be careful they will only download these videos inside the App, so you won't ba able to play them in your video app or share them.
Most popular is the app called "Video Download" but there are a lot of alternatives for free and even with more quality which you can pay for.
