I need to Restore my IPad 2 (with iOS7)
I need to Restore my IPad 2 (with iOS7) but cannot do so as there is no password for my old AppleID to which this IPad has previously been registered. I am prompted for the password when trying to turn off 'Find my IPad' which is necessary in order to restore it.
I have tried to get the password for my old account down all the usual routes, however my old account is not recognised by Apple at all! This was the reason i set a new account up in the first place.
This is mostly affecting my use of ICloud hence the reason I wish to restore my IPad and start over from scratch. Is there anyway of restoring the IPad and overriding the need for a password to turn off 'Find My IPad'??
Please help, this is driving me insane!
Pull the USB plug out from the charging adapter.

In an effort to restore my iPad with iTunes on a computer that is not synced to my iPad, it tells me that I must have the passcode, which I do not remember. What do I do now?
You will need to restore the iPad using Recovery Mode. Since you are using a computer that you have never synced with in the past, you will have to erase the device and will lose all content. You will be able to download your purchased content as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the content with in the first place - as long as the content is still available and the downloading of past purchases is available in your country.
Recovery Mode explained here ...

I need to restore my iPad. It is stuck at the apple logo and will not do anything. The Only thing it will do is a hard reset, but that just repeats the cycle. I need to put it into DFU mode but it wont go into it. What Do I Do?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Try recovery mode, not DFU mode.
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device. -
How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7
How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7?
I've had this problem ever since I was at my friend's house- she has Apple TV- and my iPad connected automatically. So, I have no idea why any of the practical solutions that people think of are not options BUT, in terms of just getting it done, I did figure out a way. The key for me was getting near another Apple TV. I was out of town so I took my iPad to another friend's house who also has TV. Once I was logged onto their wireless network (the same network that their Apple TV is on-- that's how it connected in the first place), then the Airplay icon and options showed up from the bottom-draw menu and I was able to make sure that mirroring was turned off from the Apple TV section and to make sure the selection was on iPad instead. Problem solved. Now whether or not this will stay the same (rather than me having to make sure it stays at this setting everytime I link up to a network that has an Apple TV on it) I don't know. So my advice is find someone with Apple TV and connect to their network with your iPad and then change it.

My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes. when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution on the phone. How do i fix this?
Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
Help would be much appreciated!If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one. -

I have iPhone 4 with 3G. Do I need to buy an iPad with 3G or is there a way to share 3G across the two?
If you have 4.3 on the phone, and your carrier supports it, you can use the phone as a wi-fi HotSpot
