How to reset ipad without taking picture?

My photo stream is full of screenshots from the iPad. Since day one everytime I hold home and wake buttons, first thing it does is take a picture and then after about 30 seconds it finally resets.  It does not take 10 seconds, closer to 30. 

It shouldn't take a picture. Usually, to take a screen shot you press and release the buttons. To do a reset you hold them down continuously unitl you see the silver apple.
I've reset mine several times and never taken a screen shot, but stuff happens. You can always make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it. Maybe something isn't quite right inside.

  • How to reset iPad without losing game progress

    Hi! I would like to reset my IPad 2 back to factory settings, as if it is a new iPad, but I do not want to lose all my game progress. I have 2 games that I'm not sure what will happen to.
    I tried researching this myself online and it seems like as long as I backup to icloud before resetting, I won't lose game progress. Is this true?
    Thanks for the help!

    Game Center only saves games achievement. It never saves game progress. It is up to the developer as to whether they have built in the feature to save game progress.
    Not sure if this is true (I don't have that game) but after doing a quick google search, it appears you can save Sims Freeplay progress to the Cloud.  I also think you can connect it to Facebook.  Maybe someone else on the forum can verify this?

    ‘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 cancelling 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.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Resetting iPad without losing iCloud content

    I just bought an iPad from a friend that is linked to his cloud account which has all his contacts and documents that he doesn't want to lose. 
    How do I reset the iPad without losing any of his vital files in the cloud?

    If he sold you his iPad, he should have absolved you of any responsibility for this. If he has another iDevice such as an iPhone, or iPod Touch, his contacts and documents will be available in his iCloud account on those devices.
    Have him read this.

    You bought the iPad from him, it is up to him to do this and you really shouldn't be responsible for this at all.

  • HT1212 how to reset ipod without computer?

    My daughter forgot her passcode to her ipod touch and now it is locked up. How do I reset it without using a computer or itunes?

    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You need the iPod and iPad conencted to the interned and FindMyiPod turned on on the iPod an the iPad need to have the FindMyiPhone app installed. That now requires iOS 7 on the device.
    You can also wipe by on a computer/s browser, going to icloud.com>FindMyiPhone

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How to unlock iPad without itunes

    How do you unlock the IPad without having a computer for iTunes.  My niece somehow changed her code, & forgot what it is. Can she use my iTunes to recover?

    Yes, she can use your iTunes. However, she will lose anything that she
    has not backed up to iCloud or her computer (if there is one). In many
    countries, media and apps can be redownloaded if purchased via iTunes.
    Photos/movies taken with the iPad that were not synced to a computer or
    iCloud will be gone (iCloud limit is 30 days and 1000 photos - if I remember correctly).
    If her iPad is in recovery due to forgotten password, there is nothing else to
    do besides restore.

  • How to reset password without iTunes ?

    Need to reset password without iTunes.  The laptop that had it was damaged and inaccessible. 

    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Otherwise you need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Reset ipad without apple-id

    Hi,
    We have over 100 iPads used by employees. They use their own Apple-ID since VPP is not availble in Norrway.
    When someone leaves the company we need to reset and delete the ipad they used. But after iOs 7 this requires that you type in the username and password for the Apple-ID used on the device.
    Is there a way to reset an iPad without the Apple-ID of the person that was using it?

  • HT5625 I purchased  a second hand  IPAD from a local store, I am trying to reset it to the factory setting.  I can't locate the previous owner, can somebody tell me how to reset it without the previous owner's password and ID.

     

    You cannot. There is No workaround for Activation Lock in iOS 7.
    Return it for a refund... If you can.
