HT1212 iPad still locked with password even after erasing the device, please help!

My iPad was locked because I forgot my password; I followed the step by step instructions to recover my iPad but it still asks me for a password to access the device even though the device should have been erased. Please help!?!

Is this how you do it?
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

    What is the easiest way to restore my ipod back to factory specs. It has a red circle with a red x in the middle,please help me to fix my ipod, until now i can't use my ipod..i tried all the procedures in Restore ipod from disk mode but still not working, please help me...

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • I have a iPad air how do I restart or reboot the device please

    I have an iPad air how do I restart or reboot the device please?

    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. 
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Fire fox will not save any passwords even after checking the save passwords box

    I don't know how else to say it, the save password does not work even after checking the save password box if I can't get it fixed I'll use some one else

    Go to Tools | Options and choose the Security tab from the Options dialog. Check the "Remember passwords for sites" checkbox. Click the Exceptions button to make sure the site you want to remember is not listed.
    From that point on, Firefox will record the username and password combination you enter for a site provided it can recognized those fields in the website form. If the username and password are not already recorded for that site, a bar will expand down at the top of the webpage below the page tabs asking you if you want to remember or ignore that new information. Clicking the Remember button will record that information for that site. When you visit that same form again, either the single recorded username and password should automatically appear in the form fields, or a drop-down list of choices will appear when you set the focus to that field. The choices can be filtered by typing the first letters.
    If the "Save password" checkbox you mentioned is displayed on the webpage, it is not a part of Firefox and is a function of the webpage of that site, so it does not affect the ability of Firefox to remember usernames and passwords for a particular site.

  • Fields are still in EDIT mode even after Saving the Transaction in UI

    Hello Experts ,
    We are facing one problem in UI .
    We have added the BLOCK " Subject" in Complaint transaction ( BT120H_CPL) .
    We are able to fill the data in the fields for subject block like " Code, Code Gruppe etc, but even after saving the transaction these fields are in Edit mode .
    Can anyone give some pointers/solution to this ?
    Regards
    VB

    Hello,
    if the fields are in Edit mode or closed is controlled by the attribute VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT of the controller class (*IMPL).
    There are also methods to change this VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT depending on the requirement like "DISABLE_VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT".
    But as i understood you correctly you do not have a own developed view but a SAP standard view. In this case i would create a OSS-Message for the issue.
    But feel free to do some debugging on this VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT.
    Best regards

  • IPad still locked with passcode after restoring from computer

    I set a restrictive passcode on my iPad, bought an iPad 2 and moved my content from iTunes to the new iPad. Now I can't access the passcode restrictions to cancel the passcode. I have already tried a full restore from my computer/iTunes. Is there a way to clear the passcode through a "backdoor"?

    You can unlock it on another computer though the content will be wiped and I think that you need to put it into DFU mode first e.g. post https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385719#15385719 in thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385641#15385641
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 :
    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.

  • Why is my ipad stuck in recovery mode after IOS update?  I can't get it out even after I restore.  Please help!

    I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out.  I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode.  Please help!

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Not all loops appear in loop browser... even after I reindex.  Please help.

    I've just spent the past couple of hours trying to reindex my loops so that they all show in the browser... to no avail. Which is to say, they will show, if you know how to find them. Let me explain:
    I have Jam Pack Promos 2, 3, and 4. These loops begin with following prefixes respectively: "2- ", "3- ", and "SO".
    If I select "Show All" in the Loops Browser, it does not show any of the loops that I have mentioned. However, if I search in the keyword search bar with any of the prefixes, it will show me these loops.
    Now, I have already turned OFF the keyword browsing option in preferences. I've reindexed innumerable times. I don't know what else to do.
    If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
    Finally, thank you, Apple, for a great (and affordable) product. Just one request for the next time around: please locate the loops in one directory on my hard drive... and not four!

    I experienced this same issue trying to help another user. I had never launched GarageBand on my new MacBook Pro which came with it preloaded. I used the "delete the indexes and re-add them" method but at first glance it appears nothing is there. I misunderstood the GarageBand interface because I selected show all from the loop choices yet nothing appeared. It turns out the buttons with loops became available but still none were selected. By selecting a button like "All Drums" or "Rock/Blues" I could then see all the loops in those genres. By clicking the view selector at the lower left and changing to column view it gave another way to find them by Finder structure too. Hope that helps!

  • Issues with game center after updating Ipod! Please help

    After updating my daughters Ipod touch it wouldn't let us login to her game center account. Is there a way to look up her apple id for game center just by her game center name and nickname? When we login with her email address she had to create a new nickname and everything however we have previous emails from friend requests. Can anyone help us? I don't know what else to do she doesn't want to loose all the games that she has been playing for months. It's weird how it says her email is a new apple id when that is what she used before to create her game center account. All help appreciated. Thanks.

    Try holding down the sleep/wake and home button until iPhone shuts off. Then hold down the home button while plugging into your computer. Your iphone is now in recovery mode. iTunes will detect this, and you can attempt to restore/update from there.
    Best of luck.
