I'm trying to update my daughter's Ipad2 to the new IOS 8 and it's got stuck on the connect to ITunes display. We don't have a computer to connect it to and it's never been connected to one. How do I get past this?

You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps.

I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

IOS 5: will I be able to download it without a connection to iTunes as I don't have a computer at the moment?

I have an iPad 2 and want iOS5 when it comes out. But I just gave my MBP to my son who is in programming and needed it desperately. Will I be able to download iOS5 without a physical connection to iTunes, which I don't have now?
Thanks.
Tom

King_Penguin, thanks so much for getting back with me so quickly. You mentioned downloading it from a friend's computer. Is it just a matter of connecting to his comp via USB and transferring it to my iPad? How would Apple know to charge my account for the purchase?
You'll have to forgive me. I'm up in years and not very savvy about these things!
Appreciate your help.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Do as the diagram indicates: Connect your iPhone to your computer. Open iTunes on the computer and restore your device.

After downloading latest update to my iphone3, I found a 'game center' app. When I opened and tried to sign in using my current info it keeps rejecting my password as already being used. Yes, by ME. How do I get past this?

THANK YOU, LIMNOS, I FIXED IT!!!!!!!! [And yes, I was being REALLY dumb.]
Just in case the following is helpful to anyone else:
The switch has to be done manually since all of the sort categories--except album artist--have changed to automatically sort with articles, which is a bit of a pain if you have a lot of articled artists, but there is actually a way to WRITE IN how you want your artist (or whatever) to sort. I just changed my POLICE to COPPERS as a test, and by golly now all the music comes up/is reorganized under C right below Coolio, still listed as The Police!
Before the newest update, the auto-sort always sorted ARTIST to my liking (i.e. ignoring the article), so I never bothered to check out any other tab save Details and Artwork, but voila:
[For any other dummies out there, here's how to get to this screen: right click song or songs-->Get Info-->Sorting.]
Dankeschön, Limnos, really appreciate it!!! But hey, I guess it could be worse when you only have use of half your brain...

I wish to reset my ipad. However, when I selectGeneral Reset Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad not reset. How do I get past this?

I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen.. However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this? I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode. I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.

The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.

After it restores it will walk through a setup.
It will ask you if you want to setup as a new device, from an iCloud backup or from an iTunes backup. Choose iCloud backup and then it will ask you to sign in to your iCloud account. It will restore and reboot. The you will be good.

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.
