I was recently given an Ipad, when my father upgraded. If I delete his information on this Ipad will it effect his new Ipad?

thanks. Hated the thought of spending $20.00 at apple support for a simple answer.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘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.

  • I recently was given someone elses ipod touch.  There are some songs on there I want to keep and many I want to delete.  Is there a way to upload the songs to my mac  so I can add them to a play list I have and delete the one's I don't want?

    I recently was given someone else's ipod touch.  It has some songs I would like to keep, but most I would like to delete without losing the one's I like.  Is there anyway to either upload songs to itunes in my mac or sync a playlist with the ipod without erasing all the music currently on the ipod.  Also, is there a way to delete specific tunes on the ipod?
    Thanks.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

    I was given an ipad 2.  How do I reconfigure it with my own settings, etc. and erase the previous owners informations?

    But note, if the previous owner turned on Find My in iCloud and has not turned that off you will not be able to do anything with that iPad without the previous owner's Apple ID...there is an Activation Lock as part of iOS 7.0.4 that cannot be bypassed so you have to have that Apple ID and password if it has been turned on.

  • I need to move my photos and contacts from my old iPhone 3 to my new iPhone 4.  When I open iTunes, it is not letting me sync my old phone so I can back up to my new phone.  Any thoughts?

  • When I run multiple Microsoft powerpoint files at a time on my MacBook Air, it simply gets hotter and generates little noise (most probably fan noise). Will this make any effect on life span of MBAir??

    When I run multiple Microsoft powerpoint files at a time on my MacBook Air, it simply gets hotter and generates little noise (most probably fan noise). Will this make any effect on life span of MBAir??

    Theoretically, yes.
    Heat, and heat cycling certainly do take a toll on even solid state components. I have several "very old" Macintosh computers, and the logic boards exhibit the effects.
    The fan too, running at higher speeds, does eventually cause wear. More than anything, the higher airflow leads to a higher propensity for dust accumulation on the fan, and the heat exchangers.
    In practical terms though, maybe not so much. If you plan on having your computer exhibit a reasonable useful life before you retire it or upgrade, you may never experience any of the detrimental effects. I rarely use a computer longer than 3 years, before I sell, give it away, or just stop using it.
    Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. Your computer is well designed to give you a long life, even in the manner in which you describe. Take care of it, but use it for what you bought it for. Nothing you mention is in any way, abuse.

  • Need to reinstall 10.4.7 over recently installed snow leopard... will this be a problem?

    need to reinstall 10.4.7 over recently installed snow leopard... will this be a problem?

    I don't use it much, but Quicken 6 still runs fine for me in Snow Leopard?
    Have a look at > snow leopard and rosetta: Apple Support Communities and see if anything there helps.
    Optionally you might want to consider installing Tiger on a properly formatted External Hard Drive partition > Apple Tips: Using Disk Utility 1. Format, Erase, or Reformat a Drive, then boot into it for running those PPC App's and keep your iMac on 10.6.

  • I was given an iPad. How do I change the apple Id account to mine

    I was given a used IPad. I can't do anything with it cause it is still registered with his apple Id. How do I change it to my apple Id?

    You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you can then log in with your own account. But if there is still any content on the iPad from the previous owner then that will remain tied to the previous owner's account (so only that account can update those apps), so you are probably best off removing all content and starting with it 'as new' : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings.

    I receive Facetime call and when i accept the call. Nothing happen ! I often use Facetime with this friend without problems

    I'm having similar issues.  The iPhone4's face time works just as it always did but the iPad4 is not working.  I can place a call but it won't connect, others can call and it rings but never connects.  I've signed in and out of iTunes, removed and reinstalled the wifi, hard restart, and anything I can think of.  It's driving me nuts!

  • My hard disk on my macbook pro is full and most of the memory is from iMovies. I have a back up disk which is 1 terabyte and I was wondering if it is possible to move all my iMovies onto it without creating any problems. If possible how do I do this?

    Hi there, I am a great fan of doing films. the big problem is I have filled up the hard drive on my Mac Pro. I have 1 Teribyte Time Capsul where everything is automatically backed up. I want to use this to transfer my iMovies file to the Time Capsul to create more sapace on my MacPro. If I do this will it create problems when I use iMovie?
    Could someone advise me the best way of doing this? Thnx!
