    Can't remember password for new ipad air. have never synced it with another computer never had the chance to use icloud. How do i get in?       Tried to sync with itunes but iTunes can't sync without a password.  I cannot see summary on the side bar.  How do I restore so I can restart my  iPAD Air since it has relatively no history. I have not had the chance to use it yet.  Finished set up to as far as the start menu.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. 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 canceling 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.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Ive just bought an iphone 5s from a friend,i reset it and its asking for a code for itunes gift card...do i have to have this?

    ive just bought a iphone 5s from a friend..i reset it and while setting it back up in my name it ask for a code for itunes gift card..is this necessary? is there not a promo code..

    If you mean that you are creating a new iTunes account then the gift card field is optional, it doesn't have to be filled in, you can enter your credit card details instead as your payment method - and no, there isn't a 'promo code'.
    Or there are instructions on this page for creating a new account (e.g. on a computer's iTunes) without giving payment details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Or do you mean something else ?

  • How to remove save, cancel option when end user runs the workbook in Portal

    Hi,
    how to remove save, cancel option when end user runs the workbook and make some small changes like using page items or increasing rows and columns
    I already made 2 changes
    1) I removed the option in Oracle Enterprise Manager under discoverer viewer of saving
    2) I also removed the option of Allow saving changes made in Viewer when adding workbook to portal
    But still the end user gets options of saving when made small changes to workbook like increasing rows and columns
    Is their any place, I need to make changes?
    Thanks in Advance

    Don't use JSP to serve a binary file. It almost implies the use of awful scriptlets and the invocation of both the response writer and the response outputstream which would only lead to IllegalStateException headaches in the server logs.
    Use a Servlet instead. Specify the file name as request parameter and let the servlet read the file and write it to the outputstream of the response.

  • How do I save "Sent" messages when sending from the ipad

    How do I save "Sent" messages when sending from the ipad2?

    By default sent items should be saved in your Sent folder. For IMAP type accounts you should be able to change that by selecting the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then selecting 'Account' on the popup for it and then 'Advanced' at the bottom of the next popup
