I have an IPad with a Restriction code that we cannot remember.  Is it possible to delete and restore the IPad without the code.  If not how do I figure out the code or how to remove it?

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
 Cheers, Tom

    When i save the PDF it saves it as secured.  How do i figure out the password?

    Based on that comment, I would suggest you recreate the PDF from that app. Apparently there is something in the app that set the security. You would have to check with the app if security continues to be set as to the password. You might try a blank password or our OS password (but take care you are not sending your passwords out by way of some JavaScript).

  • How do I figure out the size of an image in my iPhoto. How do I know if it is Kilobytes or megabytes. I assume Megabytes are larger than kilobytes and gigabytes are largest.

    How do I figure out the size of an image in my iPhoto. Soe applications require a certain size and I have no way of knowing what they are.
    Please confirm that Kilobytes are smaller than megabytes and gigabytes are the largest.

    You're correct, Kilobytes are smaller than megabytes and gigabytes are the largest.
    When you attach the images to an email, look on the bottom line for the total size of the email.  You can also change the image from Actual size to medium or small.

    Hi,
    This may depend on how old your Apple ID is.
    At one stage Apple IDs did not have to be emails, you just created a Name.
    I have an older @mac.com name that has only one Question set whereas my everyday Apple ID has three possible questions
    Does this Answer help ?

  • How can I figure out the parent of a thread???

    Hey guys!!!
    I have a tiny question!!
    I have a thread which could be run by 1 of 2 different parents.
    So my idea was to set a variable...for example int a...and initialize it with 1 for the first parent and with 2 for the seond...then in the thread I make if...else...and whether a is 1 or 2 I know who the parent is.
    So what I wanna know is:
    Is there a method which can figure out who of those 2 the parent started the thread without using a variable???
    cheers,
    Tom

    You code do that or if both parents implement some
    interface, call it parentInterface have them pass them selfs in ... and the thread store that as part of its context.
    Then provide a method call it getParent which returns that parent object. And even a getParentName.
    interface parentInterface
      public String getName();
    } // parentInterface
    class myThread extends Thread
      public myThread(parentInterface pi)
        pInterface = pi;
      } // myThread
      public String getParentName()
          return pInterface.getName();
      } // getParentName
      parentInterface pInterface = null;
    } // myThread
    class parent1 implements parentInterface
    } // parent1
    class parent2 implements parentInterface
    }  // parent2

  • How do I figure out the rescue email address for my Apple ID?

    I can't remember my answers and I can't remember what my rescue email is how can I figure that out?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
    -If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • HT1212 I forgot my password for my phone and it won't let me restore from an earlier date because its saying its locked. How can I figure out the forgotten password?

    Please help...
    I can't get in my phone and this is sooo frustratingt

    The only way to get passed it is by entering the correct passcode. If you are unable to the you need to follow how to restore via recovery with the article you referenced. Once you restore to factory settings you will then be able to restore from back up.

    WHAT HAPPENS IF MY POSTPAY SERVICE IS CANCELED BEFORE THE END OF MY CONTRACT TERM?
    If you're signing up for Postpay Service, you're agreeing to subscribe to a line of Service either on a month–to–month basis or for a minimum contract term, as shown on your receipt or order confirmation.  (If your Service is suspended without billing, that time doesn't count toward completing your contract term.) Once you've completed your contract term, you'll automatically become a customer on a month–to–month basis for that line of Service. If you cancel a line of Service, or if we cancel it for good cause, during its contract term, you'll have to pay an early termination fee.  If your contract term results from your purchase of an advanced device, your early termination fee will be $350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. Otherwise, your early termination fee will be $175 minus $5 for each full month of your contract term that you complete.  Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month's billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then.  Also, if you bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or third–party vendor, you should check whether they charge a separate termination fee.

  • How can i figure out the beats per minute of all the songs on my itunes list?

    I am a runner and would like to know the beats per minute of each song on my playlist.  Is there any app that is compatible with itunes so that I could get this information and easily upload it?

    The mentioned BeaTunes is nice... I've also used Tangerine.  You'll find that scanning one song with one app and scanning the same song with a different app will produce different results.  I'd just recommend being consistent and using the same app once you'd played with them to determine your favorite.
    Mixmeister also has a few different levels of software for DJ type stuff.
