I found an ipad today in the garbage and tried to restore it, but its passcode protected, how do I delete it?

My boyfriend found an Ipad on his garbage route today, strange but true, how do I delete the info on it & passcode? i already tried to restore it, but it didnt work.

I would get it to the police before what happened to a thief here in Dubuque occurs. Two iPads were stolen from adjoining homes. One owner turned on "Find my Mac" and saw it near one of our harbors, contacted the cops. When they got there there was only one occupied car. Meanwhile the owner activated the alarm which the officers heard. The cops charged the guy with second degree theft. They found three other iPads and a GPS in the car. Maybe he found them in the garbage. This is in this mornings newspaper.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

Reset your iPod. Hold the power and the home button for 10 seconds till the iPod restarts. No data will be lost.

You can't. It is locked to the previous owner's account.
Have the previous owner remove the iPhone from their account or get your money back.

Word says file is locked by the SAME user trying to open it, but its actually opened by another user

Person X has FOO.doc open.
Person Y goes to open FOO.doc.
Pop up on Person Y screen, "can not open file, already opened by person Y"
Person X closes file.
Person Y opens file no problem.
So its not the preview pane issue.
And this happens no matter who attempt to open if its already opened, it always says this ONE user is the person using it.
Both systems fully up to date. Network share from Server 2008. All meta data cleared for doc.
In short, no matter WHO has this file open or WHO tries to open it, it says person Y has it open when it is opened. There are naturally no issues when its closed anyone can open it and it does save meta editor names.
I've also changed the owner in NTFS and this has no impact. Clearing doc meta data, has no impact.
This problem here is when its left open, the incorrect name shows up (the same name every time) so staff has no clue where to go to close the file.
Yes, I've read many threads here and tried those that apply, none have resolved it.

Hello darrensimon,
This is a bug in Windows 7 (maybe 8 and Server as well). One of my customers are sometimes affected by this. I have not a perfect solution but I've arranged so that the IT responsible person on that company can access the server where
the files reside through RDP (Remote Desktop). Already open is there Shared Folders->Open Files. This gives the IT responsible person means to force closing of an already saved file that for some (bug) reason stays in the cache (MS loves cache but never
updates them) and falsely claims the file is open.
Please try! Shared Folders are reached by right-clicking Computer and select Manage.
Best regards George

Firefox will not open in windows 7 , i have closed the prossess and tryed to restart it but same thing, it will not start.

fresh in stall of windows 7 home pre. this has happen before and i never fingered it out. this is windows 7 , 32 bit not 64 bit. i try to launch Firefox 4, or earlier version and nothing happens.

you may encounter this when firefox is updating, especially auto-update after one restart of firefox.
well, best solution for now is , wait wait and wait, it is quite long.
or remove firefox and download the lastest version of firefox install pack from mozilla official, then install it. then world in peace.

TS1368 Even though I can connect to the Internet, I cannot connect to iTunes. I bought some hints for a Crickler game and cannot retrieve them using 3 g or wifi. I went into the confirmation email on the purchase and tried to report problem but couldn't

I can't connect to iTunes. I have Internet connection with wifi and 3G. I bought some hints for Crickler and I cannot claim them. I tried to report the problem using the link on the purchase confirmation email but I can't get into ITunes to report it and I suspect that's why I can't claim the hints. I have an ipad2. Could iTunes be corrupted? I tried rebooting and that didn't work.

oh I'm not actually using a router, I'm using my macbook pro as a wifi router by turning on network sharing.
And I'm sharing the connection through PPPoe
...unless, of course, I'm totally misunderstanding your question @@;
I'm a complete tehcno noob =__=;

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.
