My iPad is lock don't know how to unlock it

If you're talking about a passcode lock then you'll have to restore the device with a computer with itunes. If you can use a computer that you've been syncing with then you'll be able to retain the current content on the ipad. If you haven't been syncing with a computer, or you otherwise don't have access to that computer, then you'll still be able to restore but you'll lose whatever is on the device.

    Hi maggieanntb, your sister's Apple ID came up because an app(s) was downloaded using her account. To prevent that from happening, you would have to delete the app(s) that were downloaded on her's, and re-download them using your own Apple ID.

  • I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

    I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

    oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities.  If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that,  and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running.  if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
    good luck

  • I have a telus email acct on my ipad air and don't know how to set a group.  Can anyone help?  Thanks

    I am new to Apple and just bought an ipad air.  I have a Telus email acct and don't know how to set up a group.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks

    There isn't anything in contacts that has "create a group" .  That's why this is so frustrating.  I've tried creating a new contact and dragging names into it - doesn't work.  I can't find anything that helps!!!  What am I missing?

  • Preferences for HP Envy 5530 All mine are locked don't know how to change to get them unlocked

    I bought HP Envy 5530 thinking great I can have instant ink cartridges and great its wireless so I don't have to have cables.  My problems are that when I print I cannot change the print preferences.  Every option is locked for me and I don't know how to change them - is this because I am wireless.  I just want to be able to print not online but from my laptop for crafting at home??  Pleae help I have been in this state for months now and I can't seem to get help from Customer Support???

    This might happen if you are not logged in as the administrator. Does this still happen when you are logged in as the administrator?

    Also, to provide the best print quality, when you select certain print setting combinations, other preferences which cannot be applied are grayed out.
    Are all the preferences locked or only some?
    I work for hp.

  • I have bought new apple iPad but I don't know how to verify my Apple ID can you please help me

    I Have bought new apple I pad but I don't know how to verify it can you please help me

    When you create an iTunes account you should receive an email to the primary email address that you put on the account - that email should have a 'verify now' link in it which you need to click on and which will open a browser for you to log into your account from.
    From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID :
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
    (For info these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, nor is it 'live chat' - a fellow user will reply when they see a question and they know the answer.)

  • Broke my 5c.  Tech supt has 5c/5s left by unk emp  locked 2 his itunes account. They don't know how 2 unlock them from his itunes acct.  I can have the phone if I found out how.  Anyone know? Must be legal method!

    Hard to write is limited space.  But tech support has two phones...and iPhone 5c and 5S, left by a former employee.  Both are still tied to his itunes at email r********@yahoo.com.  They don't the who the employee is.  When they try to restore them to defaults, itunes tells them that the phone is linked to an itunes account.  How can we get the phones wipes so that the company can reassign them.  Assigning at least one of them to me?!!!  (Coulld fit into 5c or 5s since there is one of each)

    There are two levels of locking:
    1.  A 4-digit passcode that is entered to access the iPhone.  This can be removed by connecting to a computer running iTunes by way of the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 this simply erases the content and settings so it is accessible.
    2.  Find My Phone has been turned on in Settings > iCloud using the owners Apple ID and password.  This sets the Activation Lock and cannot be bypassed.  the owner's Apple ID and password must be entered to release the lock, or, the owner must login to his/her iCloud account, go to Find My Phone, and remove the iPhone from the devices list.  After that is done the iPhone can be erased and restored.
    Your situation sounds like number 2...the previous employee has installed an Apple ID and password and set the Activation Lock.  Your IT folks will not be able to bypass that.  At his point, the best hope is to take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar with company proof of ownership, and see if they can help you.
