How to Restore a Lost iPad (iPhone) without Wiping !!
This is not question. This is a solution.
I lost my iPad, it was found, and I thought it would be wiped as soon as I turned it on and it found iTunes.
But here's what I found, contrary to the what the 'Genius Desk' told me at the Apple store.
If you go out to iTunes with another device, log in, and delete the 'found' device from the 'Find My Phone' list, BEFORE power up of the lost device, it should work without being wiped. Typically, you have your iPad setup for only your own routers, so don't power it up in their presence. And just to be safe, don't power up near 'public' WiFi either. Until you get into 'Settings' and turn off WiFi on the lost iPad (or iPhone), you are in jeopardy of it being auto wiped.
And as Paul Harvey said: "And now... the rest of the story." (You can skip the next part if you are an impertinent person with no regard for a classic tale.)
I lost my iPad 3 at the Denver airport in December's mad rush. My fault, nobody else's; I was furious with myself.
I submitted my claim at the airport lost and found, believing I would never see it again. (BTW, save yourself the trouble and use their online site.)
A friend of mine told me about 'Find My Phone', which also works for iPads. We logged onto iTunes, on his iPhone, with my password, and I was able see the name I had given my lost iPad. I told 'Find My Phone' to wipe my iPad and display my cell phone number on the screen, just in case someone "honest" found my iPad. I knew I had locked my iPad but I decided this was safest. They can always wipe it, but iTunes will never allow it's use, due to the original owner's serial number on file. It becomes a 'brick'.
Segue, 2 months later.
I bought a new Air 2 because I need an iPad to run ForeFlight, a pilot program for navigation in small aircraft. One week later, I get an email from Apple, telling me to contact law enforcement at the airport (Lost and Found), and they even gave me the contact phone number to call. Sure enough, the airport found my iPad. The way I figure it, someone turned it in probably the day I lost it, and it took 2 months for Denver Airport to process the "mountains" of stuff they have turned in by travelers over the holidays. I was just happy I have it back. I took it directly to the Apple store to see if they could turn off the 'wiping' procedure and restore my old iPad. Nope! No can do! Once you tell it to wipe, through "Find My Phone", it's a done deal. Then I remembered something...
I had not set up Find My Phone on my old iPad, at least as far as I could remember. Maybe, just maybe, there was a way around this. Well... I found it.
I was told that if my iPad connected to WiFi, even it it were publicly open, it would connect to iTunes and automatically start the wiping process. Well, maybe.
Fortunately for me, Denver Airport Lost and Found had powered up my iPad, saw that it was passworded, hit the off button (so they thought) and instantly called Apple with the serial number on the back. That is what prompted Apple to email me. Thank you Apple! Actually, they had put it to sleep, not turning it OFF. Over 2 months, the battery went dead, a good thing.
When I got it home, I began to think about the power up sequence. This iPad had been setup to instantly connect to my home router. If I charged it, and it connected, I feared it might started wiping, so I devised a plan. Worst came to worst, it would wipe and I'd start over. Here's what actually happened.
I live far enough from town, that only a few WiFi routers exist nearby, and they are all encrypted. So, I turned off my router and let my iPad charge, just in case it tried to connect when it had enough charge to come out of deep sleep. Within about an hour, it was up and running again. I went into the settings and turned off the WiFi. Then, I turned my router back on. This allowed me to use my new Air2 to go out to iTunes and list all devices on Find My Phone. Lo, and behold, there was a list with my old iPad and my new Air2. I removed the old iPad from the list. Voila! It was gone! Just to be sure, I copied any configuration I wanted onto my new iPad from my old iPad, manually. (This was more of a science experiment, so I was motivated to see if this worked. It's a geek thing.) When I was finished and ready, I re-enabled the WiFi on the old iPad. Sure enough, it connected instantly to my router, and nothing happened. The only thing it needed was 138 email updates, a few other things, and of course, an iOS update, performing flawlessly. My old iPad was back to normal. No wipe and just like I left it. There ya have it. A way out.
BTW, when I walked into the Apple store in Boulder, Colorado, they were all amazed that the Apple process had worked and I got my iPad back. Remember, I had been in there a week earlier and bought a new one, telling them my woes. That's when they told me it would be wiped, if ever found.

HT1766 how to restored a locked ipad 2
i changed my 4 digit passcode to a password and completely for got it , i am locked out of my ipad an i have important school work to tend to, is there way to recover with our with out SAVING imporant information
You must restore the iPad with iTunes - preferably with iTunes on the computer used for syncing your iPad. If you have not synced the iPad with iTunes since the passcode lock was changed, you will not be able to update the iPad's backup prior to restoring the iPad. You will need to place the iPad into Recovery mode and you can restore from the most recent backup.

Help how to restore ios 7 ipad that is locked
A year ago my ipad 4 got run over. I finally got another ipad 4 and set it up by restoring from the last icloud sync in January of 2013. After the install, the screen locked. I cannot remember my passcode. It appears that the restore installed ios 7. I have tried putting the ipad into recovery mode and then using itunes to restore the ipad but halfway through the restore, itunes says it cannot connect to the ipad because it is locked. I never synced the old ipad to itunes so I can't reset the passcode that way either. And when I put the ipad into recovery mode, I believe it logged the ipad out so I can't see the ipad via find my phone. I was hoping I could wipe the ipad remotely. Is there anyway to restore this ipad? Am I going to have to take it into an apple store? Will they even help me? I bought this on ebay last week.

LOst sound to most apps. ITunes working fine
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted. You will still have sound in the music app if this occurs.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

How to restore my dead iPhone 5s
Hi People,
Need some help.
My iPhone 5S battery completely drained. When I tried charging it with the car charger, all I could see was the battery, electricity & the charger icons. After half an hour, when I tried to restart it, the same icons kept blinking. I left it discharged for about 2 days. When I tried to charge on direct power, the same icons kept blinking even after leaving the phone charging for over 4 hours. There's nothing on display even after charging it. I have even tried to reset it but to no avail.When you activated and setup your new 5S, you should've had the option to restore from your backup.
If you have no data on your 5S - then go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipie your phone clean as new. Go thru the setup and you'll see restore from backup or set up as new, choose the icloud backup. -

How can I sync my ipad to a new compuer. My old computer which was used to sync the ipad is dead
How can I sync my ipad to a new computer. My old computer which was used to sync the ipad is dead?
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it. -

Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage to my Ipad with different name but with software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back
I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps -
