If restoring factory setting didn't work for my Ipad. What next?
Here are the things my Ipad did before dying:
- Flashing keyboard and other random parts of the screen.
- Apps wouldn't open
- Apps wouldn't download
- Would randomly restart
Then it died: Would only show the apple symbol until it ran out of battery and again once it was charged.
I plugged it into iTunes and got it restored to factory settings.
I went through the set up process on the iPad and restored the last back up.....within ten minutes of set up it the above started again. Within twenty minutes it was back to the apple symbol.
What is my next step??
Thanks
restore to factory setting mean getting it back to how it was at first
if you after you do that restore your backup then the restore to factory settings was pointless
everything it did was reverted when you restored to your last backup

Unable to update, restore or recover. Slider doesn't slide and number pad doesn't work for passcode. What next? Worked last night . Battery charged. When I push Home button I get my backgroung but can't slide slider. Device is recognized by iTunes.Help! Thank you.
Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

HT4527 This didn't work for me. What happened?
I moved my itunes folder from my Power PC G4 to my new MacBook Pro (intel), but itunes will not open up my library. What can I do to d]fix this?
My old itunes folder was kept on my external drive. I never had it on my old imac (power pc g4). I dragged the itunes folder into my new computer (macbook pro) in Users/myname/music/itunes. Itunes doesn't even recognize the playlist. Is this because my Power PC is old and incompatible (I bought it in 2003)? I tried to select the old library (by holding down optionkey, etc.), but it still didn't rread it.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Is "restore factory setting" good for set's health...
anyone plz help me...i want to know abt "restore factory settings"
Q#1 : is "restoring factory setting" good for phone's health? And how often we should do that?
Q#2 : is there any possibilities of phone becoming slower after doing "restore factory setting"?
anybody knows abt these plz help......1. Do not think so...as it doesn't erase any data but just revert the SETTINGS back to Out-of-Box state..Needs to be done ONLY when need arises..
2. No. Only when it switches ON after the Factory reset for the first time.. it will take a little longer time.. -

You may have to do this several times.
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 canceling 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.

Restore factory setting how can i do that?
I want to restore factory setting my iphone 4s how can i do that? How about my pictures are they still there if i do that? How can i save my contacts, pictures and files so if i restore the factory setting i can bring it back to my phone?
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6 Software)
A restore will erase everything.
If you fail to backup your iphone, import your pics and transfer your purchases to your computer, then they will be gone.
You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer from day one. Have you failed to do this?
Import all pics taken with iphone to your computer as you would with any digital camera. You should be doing this regularly. -
All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?
When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device. -
I have an ipod touch 4g it was just Fine and today i tried to plug it to my laptop to sync music and it suddenly turned off and it didn't work for 15 mins and then it worked but i can no longer sync apps or music plz help me as soon as you can
If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Or sent it to Apple -
What happens If I restore factory setting my IPhone 4? Will I loose service provider too?
Hi, I'm trying to restore factory setting on my IPhone 4 and I have some concerns.
First, will it downgrade operating system to IOS 5 from 6?
And another question is what about cell phone service provider? Will I loose them too?
Let me know. Thanks in advanceNo, it will not revert to iOS 5. You will stay on iOS 6.
Restore Factory Settings will not cause you to lose your cellular provider. But it may require you to re-activate with your current provider. -

i just downloaded ilife every things working fine except, when i try to open iPhoto it said ''You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. i tried to re-download it but my password didn't work for some reason. HELPPPP!!!
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Happy New Year -
