The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

How do I turn off voice-over service on ipad?

(Please read this all the way through to avoid confusion)
When I watch certain channels On Demand on my ipad, there is a voice-over for the visually impaired .. a narrator that describes every single little thing the characters are doing (which is amusing when it's a sex scene). I cannot find any way to turn this off. It's mostly on USA network. I have looked everywhere and can't find a way to shut it off. It has nothing to do with the closed-captioning, or the audio/secondary audio function. Can anyone help?

See this Apple doc -> iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
VoiceOver
If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
You can configure the device to display options for VoiceOver, Zoom, or White on Black when you triple-click the Home button. This feature is off by default; to enable it, tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
If VoiceOver is on and the screen is black, but you can still use the device by pressing volume up and volume down, you may have screen curtain on. Try triple-tapping using three fingers on the device display to turn off screen curtain. Or connect the device to iTunes (see above).
You can also turn it off from iTunes, that document goes over that too.

How can I turn off auto-correct in my iPad?

Is there a way to turn off auto-correct in my iPad? It makes unwanted changes, and distracts me from my writing. I was able to turn off auto-correct in Safari on my Macs, and that has made things much better.

Good stuff, King Peguin. Now life is good.
Thanks,
Gregory

Turning off screen curtain

Hi all,
I am going to be doing a presentation in the next couple of days, and am going to demonstrate VoiceOver as a part of it. However, since the IOS 6 update, the screen curtain has been on when I use VoiceOver. Is there a way to turn this off temporarily but keep VoiceOver on? I've looked under brightness, but do not see anything that allows me to turn off the screen curtain.

You enabled Voice over by triple clicking the home button.
triple click again, then go into settings and turn off voice over.

How do I turn off screen saver whilst running time machine backup?

My hard drive failed today when my MacBook Pro took a tumble from the sofa.
I have replaced it and am trying to restore from a time machine backup.
I have to use the snow leopard installation disc that came with the machine, once I get into disk utility I can format the new drive and select restore from time machine backup.
This all runs great until the screen saver kicks in, normally around 1% into the restore. This crashes the restore and gives me the grey screen of death, it's done it four times now.
Is there anyway to disable the screensaver? Or will I need to install snow leopard first and then software update and then restore from backup once I can turn off the screen saver in system properties.
I paid a lot of money for the time capsule and having these issues the first time I truly need it is disconcerting.

Hi Mewnor,
Is there anyway to disable the screensaver?
This might help you if your computer is running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.3). I can not help you if your computer is running Snow Leopard.
System Preferences > Desktop and Screensaver > Start After > Never

Ian.

How do I turn off iTunes Match on my iPad Air?

I didn't renew my iTunes Match subscription but I can't seem to turn off Match on my iPad. If I go to sync with iTunes, it says this device has iTunes Match on. If I go into Settings ... Music ... it gives me the option to renew iTunes Match but not to turn it off. It simply doesn't work well with my library, the nature of which is that I have a lot more than 25,000 items that iTunes can't match and I want to manually manage what is and isn't on my iPad. Thanks for any help!!

After disconnecting my iPad and re-booting it AND closing and re-opening iTunes, all is well again. Go figure!! Thanks for your consideration anyway!!

How do I turn off iCloud on my iPhone & iPad without losing data?

I've been a staunch Apple user since my old Apple IIGS. I'm running the latest Snow leopard, and had already made the decision NOT to upgrade to Lion when I found out that Quicken wouldn't work. I don't use MobileMe, and manually synched my "new" iPhone 4 and 1st geiPad thru iTunes. When I upgraded my iPhone to IOS 5, I had problems with my music that I FINALLY was able to straighten out. I then set up an iCloud account, as it promised to be a better way to keep everything on my 3 devices synchronized. When I synched with my computer, my iPhone & iPad both got double events in iCal. I've figured out that the events were loading from the computer AND from the cloud. I've been reading discussion groups that say that once you've set up iCloud, if you turn it off (or delete the account) you'll lose all the data on your computer that you've sent to the cloud (which in my case is Contacts & iCal).
What I really need is good advice on how to reset my devices to "pre iCloud" without losing any data. I hope someone can help me. I usually am somewhat slow in jumping on the "newest technology" bandwagon. Thanks!

I have deleted my iCloud account before (to test something out) and it asked me if I want to keep the information stored on iCloud on my phone. I hope that works for you.

How do I turn off the playlists for my iPad?

For some reason even if my iPad isn't connected iTunes, it still wants me to add songs to Playlists for my iPod or iPad and this ****** me off because I don't put music on my iPad so sometimes my songs go to the iPad Playlist and not the iPod! So then I have to go back and put them on the iPod Playlist which is STUPID! How can I fix this? Please help me before my OCD breaks my iTunes haha

Either go into the Music app and tap the pause button at the top left, or double-click the home button to open the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, slide that bar to the right, and press the pause button there (and then press the home button to close the taskbar).

Turn off screen while using Drive

Hi,
How can I turn off screen, to save battery, while using Drive? When I press power button, screen turns off, but I lose voice navigation.

Hi karlo1020lumia,
Welcome to the forum!
What is the model of your device? If you're referring to the Nokia Drive application, this is a normal behavior. The screen must be active for the application to work properly. If your concern is about the phone's battery, you can check this link for the tips on how to prolong the battery life of the device:

Hope this helps. Let us know the outcome.

How turn off Photos autostarting when connecting iPad

When I connect my iPad Mini 3 (iOS 8.3) to Yosemite 10.10.3 over USB, my MacBook Pro always starts Photos.
How do I turn off Photos autostarting?
My iPad is a test bed for apps, so Photos always comes over my Xcode screen when I least want it
Besides, there is no pictures on the iPad to sync anyway
I've been looking in the manuals and on the forums here, to no avail. That is why I turn to you.
Thanks, Eburon

I found the answer, so I'd happily share it:
Follow these steps to turn off iPhoto’s auto-startup when you connect your iOS device to your Mac:
Connect your iOS device to your Mac via your Lightning or 30-pin sync cable. (iPhoto will open one last time, go ahead and close it.)
Open the Image Capture app. (It’s in your Applications folder.)
Click on your iOS device in the left-hand pane.
At the bottom left of the Image Capture window, you’ll see a pull-down option allowing you to select what happens when your connect this iOS device to your Mac. (You may need to click the tiny “up” arrow in the lower left corner before you see this option.)
The top option is “No application.” Click that option to select it.
Close out the app. iPhoto should no longer pop-up every time you connect you iOS device to you Mac.
With special thanks to Kirk McElhearn, (via The Loop), for the original tip and Chris Hauk for making me find it on Google.
