IPad stuck on "Find My IPad alert" Help?
Did the "find my Ipad just because it was there. For some reason it didn't find it until I got home, then I heard it beeping. I tapped "ok" and went on. When I went to use it the next time I get this notification, "Find My Ipad Alert" with an "ok" button. I punch "ok" but nothing. It won't do anything but show me that button. Won't turn on, won't slide to unlock, or shut down. HELP? Any ideas?

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

Ipad locked up after using "find my ipad alert"
i used my iphone to find my ipad and sent an alert. now my ipad is completely locked up. it has a window "Find My iPad Alert" with a buttom below to click ok. When I click.. it blinks but does not go away.
I cannot hold down and power off.. or get the screen unlocked otherwise. I am guessing I am stuck indefinitely... or until my battery loses all power. Help!found the answer after I posted my question. pressed power/home and got it to reset.

I was downloading IOS 6.1 to my ipad and now my ipad is stuck and cannot be used. HELP.
It shows on the screen that it is plugged into itunes.
How do I get my ipad working again?
How can I download IOS 6.1 succesfully?
ThanksDouble 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. -

I just purchased a new ipad and the salesperson told me to link all my info in the icloud. My home Mac does not have an icloud option in the system. How do I get it? I looked in the app store and didn't find it. Please help!
Hi..
Which Mac OS X do you have installed now??
iCloud for your Mac requires you have Lion v10.7.2 installed > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements before purchasing Lion.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
Once you have installed Lion, the iCloud settings are located in System Preferences > iCloud.

The alert "Find My IPad Alert - OK" appeared on my screen. My IPad will not let me acknowledge this alert. When acknowledged only blinks and remains displayed. Siri will work and Icons appear in background to alert but no other input is accepted.
Thank you KP, this did the trick for me too! Frustrating that there is not more info in the instructions of the App, my iPad was locked without me doing anything, I asked it to search and then it was locked, I did not ask it to lock it? Perhaps a fault they have to iron out, but I am glad for your info, I was certainly panicking! :-)

How long does the configure setup take when u first turn on the IPAD? Mine seems to be stuck in the language choice. Help!
It should not be stuck at the language choice. Is there a "Next" button in the upper right corner? Or a blue arrow pointing to the right?

downloaded ringtone and alert tone from itunes, showed on my phone, an hour later they were wiped?? cannot find them now? help (restarted, synched etc etc) same problem
Hi jaswantfromlondon,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact context for when or how these tones disappeared. If your tones have disappeared and you are having issues restoring them, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful (it refers specifically to 8.1.1, but the steps may more generally apply to your situation):
Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - Apple Support

I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME!
If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced. -
Is an iPad of help to someone with low vision?
I have an elderly low vision (legally blind) relative in the UK. (I'm in Canada.) I'm wondering if an iPad would work for her and make it easier to do email and listen to her audio books? Or any other things that can assist her. Any info would be helpful. With not being there I don't want to promise it will be better, but I'm hoping others can point me to all the things an iPad can help her with better than an ancient computer that she doesn't understand and it doesn't work well. I live on my iPad and know how wonderful it is, but in not sure what is available for persons both elderly and that have low vision. Thank you for any help.
Hi Brew_Too,
Apologies that it took until now to get back to you.
Before I start responding to the ques. you answered, I need to point out that if you want to give it as a gift, and want to actually send them one, that won't be possible unless you do it through the online UK store. Warranties are not international so if they have an issue within the first year Apple will not cover it for free because it was purchased in Canada. And, if you pay by credit card you must have a credit card in the UK and a home address attached to that credit card. It's the same with itunes gift cards. So you might need another way to get them one. Maybe you can speak to Support in Canada and see if they can help.
1. That she has internet is great so all she needs is a wireless router. Many are very inexpensive these days. Here in the USA at Best Buy, there is a Belkin for $29.99 and a Netgear for $44.99. We have the netgear which two years earlier we had paid $89.99 for. They will want one with either, bgn, or at least n. N is the newest connection. That should be bought in the UK also. They won't have a lot in their home that needs it (many computers plus xbox plus printers, etc., so simple and inexpensive will be enough.
2. Are their son and DIL somewhat knowledgeable in computers and ipads? They should be able to set them up easily. Once they have wireless set up, the ipad will connect wireless router seamlessly.
3. If they have an email address, that can be their ID. They will have to set up a passcode, password, and select security questions to answer. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY WRITE IT DOWN AND HER SON KEEPS HIS OWN COPY, TOO.
4. Great that they are still independent. I only asked that to see if they had to deal with a particular living community's cable company, etc. They don't. Good.
5. With the newer ipad models they don't need to sync it to a computer. But if they have family close, they might bring their current laptop to your cousin periodically to sync the ipad and back-up data.
Again, Siri is definitely on the newer models (not ipad 2 or original). Once it's set up for assessibilty she will use Voice Dictation. And she can speak commands to it. Also, when her apps are set up and assessiblity is on (they'll need to learn the taps, etc.) when looking for ibooks, for example, she/they can hover over the screen with fingers and the ipad will tell her what the app is. When it's the app she wants, she puts her finger on it. It will open the app.
I've seen it in detail in the Apple online store, but can't find it now. Here's a summary.
VoiceOver screen reader
Guided Access
Support for playback of closed-captioned content
AssistiveTouch interface for adaptive accessories
Full-screen zoom magnification
Large text
Option to invert colors
Left/right volume adjustment
I just found it. www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad/vision.html
If she is mobile and lives near an Apple store, maybe her son and/or DIL can take her there to a free class for 'Getting Started with iPad.' Or they can make appts. at the genius bar for help.
Though her vision is not good, she can facetime friends and relatives, including you.
If her ipad is synced to her son's computer, he can upload any music she loves from their cd's (free!) she has to his computer, make a playlist and sync that to her ipad. Or you could even do it on a UK compatible CD and send it to him to sync.
Another great thing is if someone contacts their old friends and their family and asks them to send scanned pictures to you from when they - your cousin and her husband? were young to now, they can be combined and put to music they like/love appropriate to the years of the pictures, and synced to their ipad. They could take the pictures to a local camera store, have them put on cd's (NOT read only) send them off to you or her son, make into a slide show on his computer, then sync to the ipad. I bet they'd love that, and it's good for happy memories and their memory.
That's another thing. There are so many games to improve memory.
That they can have books read to them, listen to music, face chat with family, (imagine them talking to grand children) looking at their pictures, listening to their music, etc., I think it's great and I think Apple needs to continue addressing the needs of and marketing the ipad to Seniors. It helps them feel less isolated in so many ways.
I'll try to get back to you late tomorrow (or today actually - USA - Eastern Time Zone.)
Hope this helps. -
