How to fix ipad disabled? it is looking for password, it looks like its frozen

how to fix ipad disabled? it is looking for password, it looks like it's frozen.

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Having an odd issue. Frequently, when I go to Safari, I see a (what appears to be) popup that goes away in a few seconds. Looks almost like an app download, but disappears in a hurry and then goes to site I was last visiting. I'm stumped how to fix (popups disabled, etc.)... Goes away so quick I'm not even sure what it's about...

    Thanks for the update! Next, and this is like a last step for me, but I would quit Safari one more time, then clear all the Safari data from the phone with this info and then test it out again:
    Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Clear information from your device
    To clear your history and cookies from Safari in iOS 8, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Clear History and tap Clear Cookies and Data.
    To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

    Clean the iPhone dock port with a clean dry tooth brush. If the warning occurs again, clean the dock port very carefully and thoroughly with isopropyll alcohol, especially the pins which are on top of the dock mid rib. If still warning, then take iPhone to Apple for Warranty service.

  • Looking for System Tables / Views like in Oracle DB - user_constraints, user_tab_columns, ...

    Hello,
    I'm looking for system tables or views like in the Oracle Database.
    First I'm looking for running /active sessions - like v$sessions or in an RAC environment gv$session
    And get the corresponding SQL from v$sql
    Second I had problems to drop tables due to constraints.
    Therefore I was looking for dba_constraints, all_constraints or user_constraints
    select * from user_constraints WHERE constraint_type in ('R');
    With that information I'm able to generate a script to drop the constraints.
    Third I want quick lookup about data types used in a table to correct my settings in Oracle BI.
    For example which column in which table of my schema uses the datatype BIGINT.
    If only 3 attributes in  two tables out of 100 use the BIGINT datatype - I'm able to quickly change my settings in the OBIEE repository.
    I'm missing a table like user_tab_columns.
    How can I get the same information out of TimesTen ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Thorsten

    Hi Thorsten,
    You should be able to get some of the information that you want from the TimesTen reports that are in SQL Developer.
    e.g.
    <TimesTen Reports -> Table -> Columns -> Columns> returns a listing of all the columns and their data types. You can order by the data type column or add a filter (say ='TT_BIGINT') to restrict the result set.
    <TimesTen Reports -> Table -> Constraints -> All Constraints / FK Constraints / PK Constraints / Unique Constraints>  returns a listing of all the constraints, their name, the table that the constraints are on, and their properties.
    For all the SQL Developer reports, you will be able to see the underlying queries and the TimesTen system tables/ views that they reference.

  • Looking for password syncronization

    Hi,
    I'm looking for password synchronization between SAP Systems and with Novell IDM. Is there a method to the SAP system tell me "the user X had altered your password"? I don't need to know what’s the new password (better if I can).
    Novell IDM will synchronize the passwords from eDirectory to SAP system, but I need that when a user change the password in a SAP System, this SAP System informs the new password (to update in eDirectory) or only informs that the user was changed your password, so the IDM put again the old password.

  • Looking for ringtone that sounds like a landline p...

    Hi,
    I'm looking for ringtone that sounds like a landline phone, in other words no music, movie sounds, etc., just a good quality tone that sounds like a conventional (old fashioned even) telephone ring. Any ideas what site I can get one from?
    Many thanks, etc.
    PS. Handset is a Nokia 6300.

    Have a look at the ones I posted here they are a more traditional kind of ring rather than old fashioned ones though.
