Set the system alert to a completely different LOUD sound, like the train whistle. If the beep persists, it ain't the Mac.

There's a glitch with the app. All you can do is wait for it to resolve. You can access facebook via safari in the meantime if you need to.

IPad 2 Disabled Please Help!!!!

Good Afternoon
This is a topic that has been discussed quite a lot on this forum however I have searched high and low and I have not been able to find a fix!
My son has some how managed to disable my iPad 2 and the problem I am faced with is that it is telling me to connect it to iTunes, but when I do it gives me the following message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPad because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
I obviously cannot enter the passcode because the iPad is disabled, so the next best thing is to do a force recovery which would be awesome but when I hold down the off button (even for 60 seconds) and holding the home and off button but nothing happens....
Please help me!

FORCE IPAD INTO 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.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

‘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.

Can't Transfer iTunes Rental to iPad Mini. Please Help. Have a 9 hr flight tomorrow morning.

I recently rented 3 movies from iTunes for my upcoming flight to Japan from the US. However, when I try to transfer the rented movies from my laptop to my iPad mini, iTunes starts the sync process, but does not copy the movies to my iPad. They are HD movies, I have tried checking the manually manage music and videos, I have erased and reset my iPad, I have sync'd the time on my laptop and my iPad, I have wifi available for the transfer.
After the sync completes, I click on the tab "On My iPad" and go to the "Rentals" tab and the movies appear in a light grey font with a dotted grey circle to the left of the movie.
If anyone has any ideas, please help.

Hi jasmeanzxzx,
I understand that you are experiencing some confusion with one of your apps on your iPad. If this app was purchased by your Apple ID that is signed in on your iPad and the item has not been removed from the App Store by the developer, then the item should show in your purchased app history, found by using the information in this article:
Download past purchases - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201272
I would suggest that you make sure you are signed in to the Apple ID that purchased the app, then take a look at your past purchases page for the item. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Braden

Connecting iPhone messages to iPad mini. Please help!!

I can't connect my iPhone messages to my iPad mini. The only messages I can send and receive are through my email. Please help!!
Thanks.

My music also wont sync to ipad MIni Is there any advice anyone can give? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much

I can't get face time to connect on my iPad mini anymore please help

When I try to face time anyone it says connecting then stops and says they are unavailable for face time. I've also tried to answer calls and the same thing happens it says connecting then unavailable. I just got this iPad for Christmas so it shouldn't be acting up like this already. Please help?

facetime hasn't worked consistently since April 17th. Rumor going around that it's a way to force people to upgrade to iOS7, who previously wanted to stay with iOS6.
I have two iOS 6 ipads, and neither will work anymore.
very disappointed with Apple if this is indeed the case

My ipad is disabled please help

my ipad is disabled and when i connect it with my ipad it says enter the passcode in the ipad how am i supposed to do tht if i cant access my ipad?

The only solution I know to your question is to wipe your ipad and start again. Just get your charger and plug the USB into a laptop or desktop and plug the other end of your charger in your ipad. Open itunes on your desktop and click on your ipad in the section on the left. Press restore and then your ipad will restart with no password. Hope this helps.
