Tried to reset by pushing both buttons together and still nothing happens ? OMG

You are in Recovery Mode.
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

I recently updated IOS 7.1.2 and now I can't view many images in websites?

Also a security password has appeared on my iPhone which is 4 didgets long that I don;t recall setting up. This is blocking me updating IOS. It is usually alpha numeric.

Yeah that is what I thought, but the passcode used to be alpha numeric and just changed to being 4 didgets and I don;t recall making that change. This is only to approve updates on my iPhone. The other issue is on my mac pro.

Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

If the iPad is running iOS 7 and the kid set up Find My IPad, then you can't restore it without the kid's Apple ID and password. The Activation Lock is a feature that people whined and whined to get, and is causing exactly the sort of problems many of us predicted when people were clamoring for it. If you can't get the kid's Apple ID, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask if they have any sort of workaround. My guess is that they'll have to replace the iPad, but they may have a solution they don't talk about publicly.
This won't help for iPads currently locked for which you can't get the Apple ID, but if before you give out iPads to your students you go into the Restrictions and disallow changes to the accounts, they can't then turn in Find My iPad. Or you can set up Find My iPad yourselves to your own accounts and then lock the Restrictions so they can't set iCloud up to an account to which you don't have the Apple ID.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

After a backup, clicked on upgrade IOS via Itunes. Upgrade failed and now IPAD is locked, showing a graphic of a cable connector, an arrow and an Itunes symbol. Ipad is locked there. How to restore IPAD?

Upgrade my IPAD from 8.1.3 to 8.2 via Itunes (from Windows Computer)
First I backed up the IPAD via Itunes on my Windows laptop.
Then I click upgrade IOS to 8.2 on Itunes.
Later got a upgrade failure pop up window.
Now IPAD is locked with a blank screen showing a cable connector and an arrow pointing to Itunes symbol.
The IPAD does not boot, and the Itunes does not recognize the IPAD.
turning on/off the IPAD does not change the display.
How to restore or reboot the IPAD?

I rebooted the computer and tried once again using a different USP port. This did the trick!. I was able to run the IOS update and it stuck and timed out while the Itunes was indicating that it was verifying the IOS installation (on ipad I could see a grayed working bar). After it timed out the IPAD completed the task, and now it is working again.
Thanks!

Cannot manually backup iPad mini or update iOS 7 over wifi or iTunes.

Hi all,
I delayed updating my ipad mini because I'm lazy but have a lot of app updates so thought it was time. My iPhone 4s went fine but my iPad is frustrating me to no end. I cannot update it wirelessly. When I press General > Software Update, it fails to load any updates after checking for ages and displays the message "unable to check for update" and says an error occurred. When I plug it into my Mac, it tries to set it up as a new ipad or wants to restore it from my backed up iphone data. It gives me no opportunity to back it up manually through itunes. Both my macbook and itunes are up to date. This is a new macbook and my first macbook so my ipad has never been plugged into it before but my iphone worked.
The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is that my mac is plugged into an ethernet cable and I set it to be a hotspot for my ipad.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You can't go back. Period.
But carefully explain what your issues might be. Someone here will provide assistance. But general statements of "WiFi doesn't work well" doesn't give us enough information to even begin to help you.

Updated iOS 6.1.3 and now gmail crashes

Updated iOS 6.1.3 this morning and now gmail will not work. Deleted gmail acct and pop works, but when tried to reinstall gmail acct the setup app crashes. Anyone know anything or has an update? Hello Apple!?!

It happenned the same to me and I have and iPhone 4S. I tried all the suggestions many people suggested and nothing changed. The only thing missed to make it was restore the iphone with the hope I had the same iPhone I bought (I mean with the original iOS).
However for my surprise I got the iPhone I bought but with iOS 6.1.3!!!!!!!!! OMG I couldn't believe it, but when i set up my GMail e-mail accounts all was fine, everything ran OK.
The only bad thing about this was the time I spent making backups of my pictures, files associated with some apps, doing "print screen" to each screen of my apps and the worst was restoring all these pictures, files and the apps in the same order in my restoring iPhone..... in total 6 hours........ dissapointing but I solved the problem.
I hope this solution helps to all of you.

I set up my ipod 5 over wifi and now everytime i connect it using the cord to the computer it tells me i need to set it up. How do i make this go away?

My iPod touch froze while updating to iOS 6 over wifi, what do i do?

I started updating my ipod to iOS 6 over wifi, and it just froze part of the way in to the update, and I am unable to connect to my iTunes account right now.

Looks like you need to put your device into DFU mode:
To put the device in DFU mode, connect the device to iTunes and hold both the power button and the home button down, after 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
I hope that helps.

HT6147 i need help, i did the update on my iphone 5s and now the phone will not power on?

hey, i need some help with my iphone 5s, i did the update ios 7.0.6 and now my phone will not power on?? can someone please help me!

Hello ABrosz
If you are not able to get your iPhone to power on, try to reset it by holding the Sleep/wake button and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds and see if it turns on. Check out the articles below to troubleshoot your iPhone further.

I am trying to download iOS 5.1 on my iPhone and iPad. Both times it tries connecting to the software update server and just hangs there. I've tried doing both over wifi and get error message. What do I do?

I cannot download the ios 5.1. I'v tried doing it through itunes after downloading the latest itunes. It says that my phone and ipad both have new updates and tries to coonect to update software server. That is where it hangs up and just keeps trying to connect but never does. Then when I try to update my devices over wifi, it tries and thens gives me a download failed message after a few minutes. What do I do?

This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

Updated to IOS 5.0.1 and now if I tap on a game icon instead of opening the game a grayish color comes over it and nothing happens. How can I get my games to work again?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

I updated my software to iOS6 and now my phone won't automatically join known wifi networks even though I have it on. It goes back to 3G every so often when I'm at home instead of using wifi, and each time I ask to join it asks for my wifi password

Try this for your home Wi-Fi:
On your iPhone, Settings > Wi-Fi > select your home network > "forget this network"
Power down (unplug) your wireless router
Restart your iPhone
Plug in your router
Re-join that network
I don't know if this simple technique will fix it for good but try it. There is a long thread about this problem here: iOS 6 WiFi Disabled
