    Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
    To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer.

  • My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

    My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page - it won't turn off or on - just stuck. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (the advice is to connect ipad to mac and there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Going nuts.

    I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:

    Investigate the Air Display App to see if it will do the job for you.

    Can your iPad be upgraded to iOS 7? If so, what are you doing that isn't working?
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    I have just connected my Ipad to my mac and went to upload all the pics from my mac onto my ipad but doing so it has overwrote everything on my ipad and therefore the pics on my ipad have gone!!!

    I took the orginal photos on my iphone over the past couple of years and bit by bit i uploaded them onto my sony lap top in albums... Nothing to do with itunes...
    A few months ago as my laptop didn't seem as reliable so i uploaded all the pics onto my ipad from my laptop, it was today where i thought i will upload more from my phone onto the mac then onto my ipad but insted it overwrote all the pics on my ipad.
    I had tried to do the back up and it didnt work the photos were lost.
    Then my ipad later today was driving me insane and wouldnt delete any of the pics so i just restrored it back to factory settings.
    My laptop has had issues so i have in restored all that to.
    I will now in the future just upload from my phone straight to my mac and not mess about wanting pics on my ipad.
    I appricate your help but i am pretty sure i have lost all of my photos... My kids 1st day at school the lot...

  • Hello. i am no more able to connect my Ipad to my Mac. Error (-42408) anybody knows what means ?

    Hello , i am no more able to connect my ipad to my Mac - Error (-42408) Thanks for comments

    I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
    Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
    http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
    in which the following ports were suggested
    ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
    port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP

  • Just made the pc to Mac jump. Can I connect my iPad to my Mac Mini via Bluetooth ...my current keyboard isn't connecting so I can't even get passed the password screen.

    Someone please help me connect my two devices together so that I don't have to purchase yet another item. Is there an app or something that would allow me to connect my Mac Mini to my iPad 2 wirelessly. I can't get passed the password screen because the wireless Keyboard will no longer connect to my Mac ...helllllppp .... I use it for both my iPad and my Mac mini....does that matter?

    If your iPad is close enough to your keyboard and Mini
    and if the iPad is merely in standby and not off, the
    connection to the iPad is still active.  Therefore, the
    keyboard will not connect to the Mini.
    If the iPad is far enough away to break the Bluetooth
    connection or you unpair from the iPad or you turn the
    iPad off, then the keyboard should connect just fine with the Mini.
    Most Bluetooth HID's (Human Interface Device) can only service
    one host at a time.  This is by design. 

  • I'm new to macs and I'm trying to connect my ipad to my mac to download music onto my ipad. i figured it was the same percedure as hooking a ipod to a pc. thanks for the help.

    im new to macs and im  having problems connecting my ipad2 to my mac pro. i figured that it was the same percedure as hooking a ipod to a pc.... thank for te help!

    Open iTunes with your iPad connected.  It should be listed in the Devices section of iTunes sidebar.  Select it.  You should now see a window with several tabs across the top.  You configure what you want synced under each tab, then sync.
    You can download a PDF or iBook version of the user guide here.  It contains detailed instructions on using the iPad, so I recommend you read it.

  • When I connect an iPad to a Mac, which photos are available for import?

    I seem to have created an ever-growing, self-multiplying population of photos shared between my Mac, my iPad, my iPhone, and iCloud!
    I'm trying to clear everything up and start from scratch, but one thing in particular is bothering me. I connect my iPad with a USB cable to my Mac, open iPhoto on the Mac, and look at the iPad under Devices. It is showing me that there are 1331 photos, of which 724 have yet to be imported. Yet the vast majority of these photos are actually already in iPhoto on the Mac.
    What I'd like to know — and I'm finding impossible to work out — is: exactly what photos on the iPad am I seeing? Obviously not just the photos in the Camera Roll, which if I look on the iPad contains 284. Does it include the contents of "All Imported" that shows up under Albums on the iPad, and contains 1046 photos? This gives the correct total number that is showing in iPhoto (well it comes to 1330 instead of 1331). But I can see some pics in iPhoto, in the iPad device window, that do not seem to be in the Camera Roll or All Imported on the iPad itself.
    It's all very confusing, and I can find no documentation about this question. Anyone any ideas?

    There is not much documentation on this.
    The iPad User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf) states, that the photos you imported from a camera to your iPad can be imported from the iPad by connecting it via USB to your computer. iPhoto or Adobe Elements can import them.
    Does it include the contents of "All Imported" that shows up under Albums on the iPad, and contains 1046 photos?
    So yes, the "All imported " events will be included.
    But I can see some pics in iPhoto, in the iPad device window, that do not seem to be in the Camera Roll or All Imported on the iPad itself.
    Have you photos hidden on your iPad (in iPhoto)?

  • I connected my ipad to a mac computer to stream a video, and now it doesn't recognize my sim card! Help!

    I had a movie in my ipad and wanted to see it on the tv. So i connected it to a friend's mac. Automatically when i connected it, itunes (his itunes) asked my for the name of the ipad and other stuff i don't remember.  We were able to see the movie but when i disconected the ipad  it says "No sim" even if the sim card is where it always is. Now i don't have any internet! (i'm using an ipad 2)
    does anyone know what happened?

    Download iTunes for your computer, by going to http://apple.com/iTunes Then connect it to iTunes and see what happens. If nothing happens try doing hard reset, by pressing the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, and continue pressing until it turns off and turns back on.

  • HT4567 I have a new iPad 2.  I also have an older Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8.  When I connect my iPad to my Mac, it says that I cannot use the iPad because I need iTunes v 7.0 or higher.  When I try to update iTunes, it says I have latest version 6.8.

    I cannot get my iPad 2 (brand new) to work with my MacBook pro.  It says I need iTunes 7.0, but when I go to  update iTunes on my MAC, it says I have teh latest version 10.6.3.  I have Mac OS 10.5.8 on my MacBook Pro.  Any help would be appreciated.  Do I need to upgrade my OS?  If so, which version?

    In order to download iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8, you have to buy OS X 10.6. It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here.  After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7.
