IPad set up and syncing for my mom--help!

I just bought an iPad for my mom. I want to set it up for her (she's not too tech savvy). A couple of things to know about my situation:
- she is a PC user
So, I can set up her iPad at work where I have access to a PC. I have her iTunes log-in information to do so, however, when she goes to sync it on her very own PC at her house, will it be okay? ( ie: everything will be intact and accounted for?) I won't be able to hands on help her if it does not... She's in WI and I'm in CA.
I'm thinking the initial activation at my work PC should be fine ( just as the Apple sales staff activates iPads or iPhones at their store and then we go home to sync).
Please provide me with some guidance and answers to this.... I really want her to use this seamlessly
-D

If you purchase anything she'll have to transfer purchases via iTunes, but I've reformatted and then synched fine so all should go well.
If all else fails you can always use a free trial of the likes of GoToMeeting or even easier for her GoToAssist to take control of her pc and fix things.
Note: don't work for Citrix, just like their products and know they have 30 day trial accounts.

I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod syncing without problems on one computer.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
On your mum's iPhone go to Settings > General > About > Name - put in your mum's name so that iTunes can tell them apart.

Did you buy it directly on your iPad? Did you ever transfer the app to the iTunes content library on your computer? If so, sync it back onto your iPad. If not, then I encourage you to do so regularly for occasions just such as this.
Does the previous purchase of the app appear in your iTunes Purchase History? Usually you just think that you are going to be charged but at the last step the App store sees that you previously bough the app and informs you that it will be free.
Also, is this the same version that you previously bought? Or is this the next major paid version?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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.

If you don't get the message, your phone is NOT unlocked.

How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet

Hi..
How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet in JBoss server?
Using Tomcat i can do it .(By setting roles in web.xml, and user credintails in tomcat-user.xml).
But i dont know how do it in JBOSS..
I am using Netbeans and Eclipse IDEs.. Can we do it by using them also!?
Thank u

Hi Raj,
You can do this by creating a Login screen for the users and check the authentication of each user in PAI i.e. PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
Store the user information in a database table and check the username and password when the user enters it.
You can display password as *** also. For this double click on input box designed for password and goto Display tab. Select Invisible in the list and check it.
CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'BACK'.
      LEAVE PROGRAM.
    WHEN <fcode for submit>.
      SELECT SINGLE uname pwd
       FROM <DB table>
       INTO (user, pass)
       WHERE username = user AND
               password = passwd.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
<Go to next screen for further processing>
      ELSE.
<Display Error message and exit>
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Regards,
Amit

How can I download IOS 6.1 succesfully?

Double tap the home button and find the mail app. Drag the app up from the multitasking display to close the app. Then reboot the iPad and try again.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My Ipad reboots over and over again could someone help with my problem?

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

My AppStore wont update my apps because my old iTunes account keeps coming up and asks for billing info HELP!!!

My AppStore wont update my apps because my old iTunes account keeps coming up and asks for billing info HELP!!!

Apps are always associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. This cannot be changed. To avoid getting the request you are seeing delete all apps that request the former Apple ID and download them again.
Any apps for which you paid a fee will require that you purchase them again.

Once Imessage has been set up and sync between your ipad and iPhone. Then sign out of the imessage account on your ipad, if you were to sign back in would any conformation email or text be sent to you again informing you that you are now signed back in?

I have the new iPad and iPhone 4s. iMessage has already been set up syncing these two devices before, but I am now logged out on my iMessage on the iPad but still logged in on the iPhone.
My question is, if I sign back into the iMessage on my iPad will Apple send any confirmation to my Email address or phone number stating that I am now receiving iMessages etc on both the iPad and iPhone and that these's two devices are now synced again?!?
*please note that the two devices have been previously set up for iMessage and synced to both receive them, it's just a case of me signing back in on the iPad, but I would like to know if Apple send any confirmation that a certain device is now receiving the messages also, I'm assuming they must for security reasons but I guess if you've already set up the two devices they might not.
Any help would be great, thank you

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

Reminder app not working correctly, issue started around Sept. 1,2014. Will not allow me to set date and time for a reminder.

Today I noticed an issue with my Reminder app on my IPhone 5s. Using OS 7.1.2. I called Apple, and the tech didn't know what he was doing and just trying different things.The reminder app will not let me set a date and time for reminder. Finally he escalated the call to a senior advisor who was rude, arrogant and unprofessional. He insisted the Reminder App was updated with the new update of IOS September/October 2013. Not true, the issue just started about 5 days ago August 31,2014. Now there is an additional reminder line for reminder entries that I have to use and have to transfer all my reminders manually from the other part of the app. The feature does exist; if I try to set a date and time for the reminder it appears for 1-2 seconds and then disappears.
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

He insisted the Reminder App was updated with the new update of IOS September/October 2013. Not true
Yes, it is true.
iOS 7 was released 18 Sep 2013. At this time, the Reminders app was updated (with most everything else).
the issue just started about 5 days ago August 31,2014.
Your issue just started but the app was not updated 5 days ago.
Now there is an additional reminder line for reminder entries that I have to use
I don’t understand what this means...
Open Reminders, type the reminder, tap the i at the end, turn on Remind me on a day and enter the date/time.
