I bought an ipad mini and it became diabled due to passcode before i synced it with itunes.

I bought an ipad and it became disabled due to passcode before I had synced it with iTunes.  How do I recover it?

If it's showing the disabled screen then it's too late to take a backup and/or to copy any content off it, you will need to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled.
Had you been backing up to the cloud instead ? If you had then you can restore to that. If not then what you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased tabs in the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps.

    Do you mean that you bought it second-hand and the previous owner hasn't removed it from their account ? If you do then you will need to contact the person that you bought it from, only they can remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515

  • I have just bought an iPad mini and to transfer my contacts,music etc via iTunes on my PC, the PC crashes - is this because of the different operating systems?

    Can anyone please help

    Hi Pa23from Argyllshire,
    This error: I have just bought an iPad mini and to transfer my contacts, music etc via iTunes on my PC, the PC crashes should not occur.
    The best guess is this crash is caused due to an issue with the PC.
    Make sure your iPad is updated to the latest operating system: iOS 7.0.4 and make sure iTunes is updated to iTunes 11.
    iTunes 11 is optimised for iOS 7, so if you have an iOS 7 device and non iTunes 11 computer, life would be hard.
    Try to update iTunes to 11.1.3 from: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Even try uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing. iTunes will not lose any of your iTunes songs when your un-install it as iTunes stores every media item in a folder found in (or around): C:\Users\NAME\Music\iTunes
    Obviously iTunes and iDevices work best using Mac iTunes however; iTunes 11 and iOS 7 iPad Mini should work fine.
    In summary possible solutions:
    1.       Update iPad Mini to iOS 7 or better (iOS 7.0.4)
    2.       Update iTunes to iTunes 11.1.3
    3.       Restart both PC and iPad
    4.       Uninstall iTunes from PC
    Many Thanks, Happy New Year and I look forward to hearing from you regarding this crash!

  • Bought an ipad mini and my emails keep deleting themselves. They're there one second and gone the next

    Bought an ipad mini and my emails keep deleting themselves. They're there one second and gone the next.....any suggestions?

    The official return policy of the Apple Store for anything other than an iPhone is fourteen days, not 30 days. Any return of an iPad beyond fourteen days, even if a new model is released, would be an exception, not policy.

  • I have just bought an iPad mini and can't seem to transfer one of my apps of my iPhone 5. How do I do this?

    I have just bought an iPad mini and can't seem to transfer one of my apps of my iPhone 5. How do I do this?

    first time you connect it to the computer you sync the iphone with it should ask if you want to setup the ipad as a new device or restore it with a backup of another ios device
    if you say yes the content of tne iphone will be put on the ipad
    if you later one wish to do the same thing one can restore it by navigating to the ipad in itunes on the computer and choose to restore it there to the backup of the iphone
    if you don't want to restore then you can just mark the apps in itunes you wish to sync to the ipad
    if you don't sync with a computer then you can't be charged for an app more then once it's tied to your appleID and any attempt to buy it again will result in a free download
    one can also access apps tied to the ios device under purchasees in the app store app

  • I have an ipad mini and for some reason it keeps taking me to odd places with out me doing it? Can someone help

    I have an ipad mini and for some reason it keeps taking me to odd places with out me doing it? Can someone help

    Odd places?
    Could you be experiencing, browsing a page, then get sent to the app store to buy an app? If that's the case, it's a browser hijack ad and there's not much you can do about it beyond not going to that site or using an adblock app.
    You can try to go into safari and clear the cache, which may clear away what's sending you to that site
    Beyond that, a bit more info may help with coming up with a  better answer.

    i purchased a song on my Ipod Touch 4 GEN. and i listened to it not 5 mins before i synced it with Itunes...then i looked in my Ipod music library and itunes library...GONE. but when i go to download it, like with Apps when if you have purchased an app and it get's deleted...you can have it back for FREE
    and i tryed that with this song...and it says that " you have already purchased this song, would you like to buy it again?" but it wont let me get it again for free even tho i have bought it before...is there a way i can get it back with out having to pay??
    HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!! PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • I bought additional iPad mini and by accident installed as new.

    I bought new iPad mini to use as navigation and purchased TomTom € 69,99. By accident I installed as new and then I couldn't use my username. So I used same username incl. @me.com. But now its an different account in iTunes and I cannot install this app in my iPhone and other iPad.
    I like to move that app to my original account to use in mmy others devices. What can I do? I don't like to pay again.
    I sent already request to to the app store but waiting for a solution. I need it now because my vacation starts and I spent alot money already

    Thank you very much for the quick response. But maybe I do not read well or I'm a little stupid but I do not understand how to do this -> then sign into the iTunes app on the computer with both of your Apple IDs and make sure that the software you have bought is on this computer and that you have Authorized the computer to use the software.
    My original iTunes account (fwille) has already 5 authorized devices. In my house 2 iMacs, other house 1 and totally 2 ipads and 3 iPhones. So I thinks max. Eventually I've to delete 1 device to add the new one? But in that new account I installed by accident is only 1 authorized now, the new iPad. Sorry if I make you confused but I'm careful not delete or loose my apps in the other itunes account.
    I have to install another iPad now with 3G to install that TomTom navigation software. Its again brand new. Whats the procedure when I like to use with same account? Restore from iCloud?

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • HT1222 Hi there just bought new iPad mini and can't get iOS 7 to update on it???

    Help can't seem to update my new iPad mini to IOS 7 x

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
        1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
        2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
        3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
        4.    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
        5.    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
        1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
        2.    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
        3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
        4.    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
        5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
        6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
        7.    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
        8.    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom
