how do I unlock my ipad2 (it is disabled) without using itunes

You can't.
Take it to an Apple Store as an alternative. Be sure to carry proof that it is indeed yours and not pilfered from someone.

Can someone tell me how to enable and ipad that has been disabled without using iTunes

My sons ipad is in disabled mode and his mom doesn't have access to iTunes. Can anyone tell me how I can get it working again?

Take it to an Apple Store for assistance. However, the iPad will be returned to its out of the box configuration (erased). You may be asked to provide proof that the iPad is yours.

I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

How do I load music on my new ipod without using itunes?

I am having tons of problems with getting itunes to pull up on my computer. I believe that my computer has a pretty nasty virus in it and it is causing problems with many of my programs (internet explorer, norton, and other programs). I am having my computer worked on later this week so I hope to get the virus taken care of. I am aware of the many different virus cleaners and checkers that are free to me on the internet and I do plan on using them. But right now the issue is time. I don't have any. I am leaving tomorrow morning on a trip and would like to have my nice new 30gb ipod loaded up with some music that I already have my laptop to pass the time on the flight.
Again I do not need a pitch for using itunes....I know how cool it is and I plan on taking advantage of it as soon as I return and have time to fix my computer issues. I just need to know how to load what I already have on to my ipod.
When I connect my ipod via the USB cable and pull up that drive I see the files: Calendars, Contacts, and Notes. I am assuming that I need to create a "Music" file that I will then drag-and-drop the MP3 copies from my computer to the newly created file. Is this correct? If not....then what do I need to do?
Thanks for the much needed help.

Sorry jrock,
You can use iTunes files to load other mp3 players with music files but iPods don't function like other mp3 players. You can't just load mp3's onto an iPod and play them, you have to use iTunes.

How do I get personal movies onto my iPad without using iTunes

Hi,
I have several "movies" - like ones my kids made using iMovie on their their ipods, clips of my kids playing their sports, and other non-tradional films that i would like to keep and add or subtract to my liking from my iPad (3rd Gen). In iTunes i have pretty much "cut the cord" - the only items that synch with itunes are the videos that I mentioned (hollywood videos I purchse through iTunes I access through the iCloud now) and photos with Aperture. I really dont want - or need to synch with iTunes anymore - the user experience is so wonderful going with just the iCloud and my Dropbox. But I really want the freeedom to add a personal video to my iPad w/o having to synch - it takes FOREVER and always has a glitch of some sort.
In case your thinking to just use the dropbox - I know that... but it is internet dependant then - and play back is not what i'd call "Retina worthy" - and you can't save Drpbox video to the iPad's HD.
Does anyone have another method that is working for them??
I love being "bareback" with the iPad and don't want to go backwards.
Thanks in advance!

UPDATED
Background: You can transfer photos and movies made on your camera and recorded to an SD card directly into your iPad using an Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader. So all you have to do is convince your iPad that the SD card with your other movies (ripped DVDs etc) came from your camera.
1. Your movies need to be in a format your iPad will read - .mp4 or .mov work well. For DVDs, you need to rip it into .mp4 files - I use Xilisoft DVD to iPad Converter which works well.
2. Store these files someplace convenient on your hard drive.
3. Rename the .mp4 files so they have EXACTLY 8 characters in the file name without any spaces (digital cameras create 8 digit file names).
4. Format your SD card folder structure so that to your iPad, it looks like it came straight out of your digital camera. The easiest way to do this, is to format the SD card in your camera and then take a single photo on the card.
5. Attach you SD card to your computer (via a direct SD slot or a USB adaptor) and navigate through the SD card's folder structure to find the photo to took on your camera.
6. Copy all the video files that you want to watch on your iPad to the SAME location as the photo file.
7. Eject the SD card and insert it into your Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader and it into your iPad.
8. Go to the "Photos" icon app (not the Videos icon app) and follow the usual transfer instructions from the iOS.
Note that unlike movies in the Videos app from iTunes, the video files loaded this way appear only as a video icon with the time length of the file. ie No files names are visible, therefore you may need to write a short note identifying each file name according to its play time.

How to make a full backup of my iPad without using iTunes

I need to make a full backup of my iPad. I am using the Vudu app and have many movies downloaded to my iPad. I have performed a backup of my iPad from iTunes onto my Macbook Pro. The mobile backup files on my laptop are not nearly big enough for the 20+ movies (at lease 1/2 to1 GB each). Because of this I do not believe iTunes has made a full backup including the movies. I want to avoid having to re-download all the movies if/when the iPad drive fails. I want a complete backup such as Time Machine or using some other external hard drive or app on my MacBook Pro.
I bought a Seagate Wireless Plus 1TB Mobile Cloud Storage with Built-in WiFi Streaming (STCK1000100) external hard drive and installed the Seagate Media App. I can, via the app on the iPad, see the device and copy to and from it. But, it only allows access to music, movies in iTunes (not any movies in Vudu), and things like documents on my iPad. It does not allow access to all the files inclding system files stored on the iPad. I also tried another Seagate non wireless external drive that I connected directly to the iPad but the Seagate Media app does not communicate with or recognize the device from the iPad.
I also bought DiskAid software that supposedly will make a complete backup of an App on a mobile device and installed it on my laptop. I was able to make a complete backup of the Vudu app from the iPad onto my laptop, but in a test could not restore it to my iPad. The backup file, though, was the right size, about 26 GB. The DiskAid techs are looking into that. I was able to use DiskAid to backup another app in a test (Hertz). That app made a backup of the Hertz app onto my laptop, I deleted the app on my iPad, then I was able to restore it. But right now the restore option is not working for Vudu.
Another option would be to copy the movie files off of the iPad onto my Laptop, but the iPad does not appear in the finder window on the Laptop.
I have about decided my MacBook Pro laptop will have to be the main repository for all the downloaded movies, since I can make a Time Machine backup of everything.
It is very frustrating to not be able to make a full backup of everything on my iPad.
Anyone else have any ideas? Apple - when are you going to provide a way to make a full backup of an iPad?

I recommend Super Duper as well. I use it batch mode to automatically back up my iMAC every night at 2 am. It's saved my life a couple of times- once my disk crashed (under warranty)and what could have been a disaster (1000's of irreplaceable photos) was a 2 day inconvenience.
Now and then I boot up from my backup on my firewire drive, wipe, check and reformat my internal hard disk, copy back all my files and I'm good to go

How to transfer songs from iphone to windows pc without using itunes

Have a iphone i want to transfer song files from iphone to a windows pc at work that does not have itunes and I cannot download itunes to the computer because it is a work computer.

There are several programs available that run on a PC that can do this, but they would need to be installed also. If you can't install iTunes it is doubtful that you could install any of these 3rd party programs.

How to rename a playlist on my Iphone? (without using ITunes)

There has to be a possibility to rename a playlist without connecting my phone with my pc I do not want to add a new playlist...

It doesn't appear that you can, which makes sense in that if you're syncing with iTunes, you'll have to rename it on the computer you're syncing with.

How can I write an iBook review without using iTunes?

I have a problem on how can I write a review on an iPad book or iBook without using iTunes. Some of my friends are also asking me on how can I write a review on an iBook without using iTunes. I am on dilemma and I need your help to solve this problem. I hope you can respond soon if possible. Thanks.

Simple, you cannot. You can only post reviews through the store front gateway.
Well, actually, you can write the review in any editor or tool you wish to use, but to post it, you have to login to the store account. If you do not have an AppleID and store account, you cannot post a review.

How do I get my iPad2 to connect to TV using AirPlay?

How do I get my iPad2 to connect to TV using AirPlay?

Thanks for your helpful response. I do have an Apple TV device that is hooked up to my TV & router and is working OK. I can link to iTunes on my main computer and stream photos etc OK. The Apple TV device also links to internet OK.
What I can't get to Apple TV device to do is link to my IPad2. I followed the instructions on using & setting up Airplay, and found the Airplay symbol OK,. When I tap it it shows my iPad & Apple TV. When I tap on the TV symbol it doesn't show the dialogue box indicated. I can't seem to get the iPad to stream from Photos, and the iPad doesn't show up on the TV under Computers.
Clearly I am doing something wrong, but what?
Any ideas?

HT4946 how do i unlock my iPhone when its locked in the itune plug in mode?

how do I unlock my iPhone when it is in the itune locked mode for updates, i powered out when i was updating

Unfortunately once the iPhone is in that mode the best practice is to just restore the whole iPhone via iTunes.
The iPhone is in recovery mode. So to get it out of recovery mode and restore through iTunes is all you got to do.
Hope this helps

TS1363 how do you unlock an Ipod that is disabled?

how do you unlock an Ipod that is disabled?

If the iPod is showing the 'disabled' screen due to too many failed passcode attempts then you will need to connect the iPod to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : 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.
