How to remove a broken charger nib from my iPad?

How to remove a broken charger nib from an iPad?
<Email Edited by Host>

Was it the old 30-pin connector, or the new Lightning plug? There have been sporadic reports of the new connector snapping just ahead of the two side "dimples" that are used to hold it in place, but this would be the first time I hear of similar failure on the older and bigger connectors.
If at all possible, I would suggest a visit to an Apple Store for free assessment. Else proceed with caution either with tweezers and/or a pin to nudge the fragments out. Maybe a review of the corresponding teardown of your model at IFixIt.com may help you visualize how to attack the problem.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • How to remove an iCloud email address from an iPad

    Not sure if this should be here or posted in the iCloud area, but will try here first.  I used to have an @me.com address (after the .mac one went away) and now I have the same address, but @icloud.com.  When I tap on the "From:" field when composing a message on my iPad, I get the option of using my primary Gmail account, my @icloud.com account, or my @me.com account.  I would like to not see the @me.com account be an option as I'm never going to use it.  How can I remove that and have the available options include only the @icloud.com account from iCloud?

    I don't believe you can.  The @icloud address was added as an alias to your @me address, which will remain intact.  Messages sent to either address arrive in the same inbox and I don't believe you can delete the @me option.  You can, however, choose @icloud as your default rather than @me, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441.

  • How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?

    How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?
    I was trying to change an Administrator Account by starting from my Leopard Install DVD and from the Utilities menu choosing Reset Password, etc. A longish story involving my inability to shut-down the computer while others are signed in but not actually using the computer. In Tiger I was able, since moving to Leopard I need to go into each of their accounts and manually log each of them out. A headache.
    For right right now I need to get rid of the Other... account name, etc from my sign-in screen. How do I do this in plain English please? I find all this Admin jargon does my head in.
    Cheers, SZ

    You need to disable the root user. From what I understand you enabled it from the install DVD's password reset.
    Use [these instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290] to disable it.
    Those instructions led me down this path, I have not the head to deal with them again today. My eyes glaze-over listening to myself read them aloud. SZ

    How can I remove an incorrect Apple ID from my ipad and replace it with the correct one?

    Hello Shy guy,
    You can try this:
    1. Go to the iTunes Store or App Store
    2. Scroll down, there you will see Apple ID: "your email" (below Redeem and Send Gift)
    3. Tap on that button
    4. Tap on Sign Out
    Now you should be able to use another Apple ID.

    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to Payment Information in the popup window
    Select "None"

  • How do I remove my credit card information from my ipad and iphone

    How do I remove my credit card information from my ipad and ipone account?

    Nice idea, but no.  You are no longer allowed to remove it, it will keep asking you for a valid account and won't let you save it with anything less.  So if your account has been hacked from iTunes (like mine has in the past, to the tune of several thousand dollars), and you don't want to keep a credit card on file, just add it in and delete it when you are done buying something, this is no longer an option.  Since I stupidly wanted to buy something and didn't know this had been changed, I now get to hope my account does not get hacked again.
    I am so sick of Apple making everything so bloody difficult, I'm about this close to ditching my iphone and ipad.  They are fabulous when they work, but if you have software problems (my ipad is currently a very expensive book reader, since it won't do anything else with any reliability after going to iOS 6), there is no help available, and no fixes available.  Help online just sends you in endless circles, help on the phone is useless if you have not paid for a service contract.

  • HT4207 how can I remove a specific gmail account from my ipad 4?

    How can I remove a specific Gmail account from my ipad 4?

    Assuming you are not syncing with iCloud and you mean, syncing with iTunes only...(you can only use one or the other for syncing to prevent duplicates)
    iTunes -
    - Open iTunes on your Mac. Connect your iPad. Then click on your iPad (either its name or just "iPad"), then click the info tab (right above the photo of an iPad in the middle). From here you can select sync contacts, then sync groups, and select the groups you want and choose Apply/Sync in the bottom left corner.
    iCloud -
    - With iCloud if you just sign into iCloud in System Preferences and turn on Contacts, it will prompt to merge all of your contacts that are not already syncing with Gmail or Yahoo!, etc. so there really isnt a way to pick and choose as much with that.
    - However if you really want to use iCloud and not iTunes, you could import the contacts that you want into iCloud.com, but you would need to export them from your Contacts App on your Mac and then import them into iCloud (VCard / .VCF is the format you want).
    * Exporting the contacts from your Mac Contacts Application --> http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/app-training/contacts-101-a-beginners-guide-to -contacts-on-os-x/ (further down the page)
    *Importing contacts into iCloud.com - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605
    **NOTE - Remember if you do the import into iCloud.com method, DO NOT sign into System Preferences > iCloud, and choose to MERGE contacts. If you do this later, all of your contacts will merge with iCloud and you will have duplicates of this group.
    I hope this isnt too confusing. Have a good night!

  • How can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad

    how can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad?

    Iif the photos were synced to the iPad they can only be removed by connecting to iTunes on your computer, unselecting the photos folder that you synced to the iPad and then follow that with a sync.
    IF the photos are in the camera roll, open the camera roll album, tap the as select button in the upper right corner, tap on each photo that you want to delete in order to select them and then tap the trash can icon.
