HT4623 iPad mini is locked, how do I get in without a password?

I have given an iPad mini as a gift and now he cannot access it bacause his password was forgotten. How can we enable the device from " device disabled" screen?

Connect it to the computer, open iTunes and restore from the latest backup. If that doesn't work try restoring it as new. Then create a new passcode and write it down somewhere and don't tell anyone what it is.

    You can't, and Apple won't unlock that device for you; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure. Take it to the police, or if you found it in a facility, the people running the facility.

  • I-Pad Mini and Wi-Fi Connection-I-Pad Mini does not connect to the Wi-Fi while IPad and IPhone 5 works in the same location.  Then when I go to another location the Ipad Mini works.  How can I get Wi-Fi to work all the time like Ipad and Iphone 5?

    I-Pad Mini and Wi-Fi Connection.  At one location the I-Pad Mini will not connect to wi-fi, while I-Pad and I-Phone 5 works just fine.
    Then at another location the I-Pad Mini works just fine.  Are there any suggestions anyone can give me to get I-Pad Mini to work everywhere just like I-Pad and I-Phone 5?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I have done an icloud backup on my iPad mini. I now need to get back one of the iMovie videos that I backed up. How do I restore one individual file?

    You can't. When you restore from a backup it will restore everything in the backup. You might be able to find a third party app that will allow you to extract individual files from an iTunes backup, but not with an iCloud backup.

    You can copy the iWeb application from the desktop machine to your new MBA.  But if it's iWeb 2 it won't work with Mavericks or Mt. Lion. Also  copy the Domain.sites file from the desktop to your MBA as that's the file with your webstite files in it.
