IPad won't accept passcode after iOS5 update?

Just updated my iPad 2 to iOS5.  Turned it on and the passcode prompt has changed, no longer just asking for 4 digit passcode.  Oooookay, I entered my old 4-digit passcode and it didn't work.  Tried my Apple ID passcode, no luck.  Tried the password for the MacBook that the iPad is sync'd to.  No luck.
*** Apple?
Anyone?  This is a BIG problem for me because I use the iPad for work constantly, and I really don't have time to waste an afternoon at the "Genuis" bar resolving a problem that shouldn't have happened in the first place.
Does Apple even BETA TEST this junk?

Wow, I have just purchased an iPad for my wife and had this exact problem. It didn't help that it decided to lock at exactly the same time I was trying to sync it to iTines on a computer. I did a restore and had to re-install all the apps. All went OK, then it did it again. I went to the Macshop who said they had never heard of such a thing. I would not have thought to try my wife's outlook exchange password unless I had found this post ! Thanks

    When you look at the storage usage of the iPod in iTunes (the colored bargraph) , how much is in the "other" category? If very large yu will have to restore you riPod to get it down to is normal less than about 1/2 GB.

  • Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

    Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
    If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
    Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
    Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
    SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
    I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
    So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general-  reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
    Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
    Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
    Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
    Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
    all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
    Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
    it would be much appreciated.
    Amnesty

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • My IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.

    my IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.

    Yes I have put in the correct password, its all numbers so can't get it wrong really.
    It has connected before as has my iPod and that won't connect either. I have checked that they aren't on the blocked list of the wi fi. Managed to download the new version of iOS and that hasn't made a difference.
    I have the wi fi plugged directly into the computer rather than the booster hub as the computer won't connect to it when its in the hub. I did get the iPad to connect to the internet when it twas in the hub but once I upgraded the iOS it won't accept the wifi password in the hub either.

    Is your iPad recognised by your computer's iTunes when you connect it to your computer ? Resetting a disabled device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If it's not recognised then do you have the latest iTunes version installed on your compute ?

  • Recognition error after iOS5 update of ipad (1)?

    I updated my ipad (1) with iOS5. The update was successful, but now my Windows XP does not recognize my ipad (the USB does not recognize). Also, now, itunes can not identify and update it. My ipad was working fine before the iOS5 update.
    The USB error is that "USB device not recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows can not identify it".
    I tried to update the USB driver (unknown device driver in the "Driver Manager" field of Windows) but reached a deadend. Apple online support guide says that I need to call them or get them to service/repair it. But, they need money to provide support. *****, as this was working before the update.
    Please advise/help.

    I have the same problem.. try this:
    power off iPad
    unplug USB cable
    plug in USB cable
    iPad should power up, and if iTunes is open, should recognize the USB port.
    if that doesn't work, try plugging the USB cable in directly to the computer.
    it seems to be a bug with USB hubs

  • After ios5 update, iCal week view Oct 2-8 has 2 Saturdays?

    Is anyone else having problems with iCal week view on iPad after ios5 update?
    Two major changes have occurred...
    1. Week view used to start on Monday, now Sunday (and can't change it back).
    2. If you look at the week October 2-8, 2011 there are 2 Saturdays and no Friday or following Saturday...
    Any ideas? Is this a wait for ios5.1 issue?
    Cheers
    Chris

    If you are using a Mac, go to Settings>Software Update ... check for any updates, and update all.
    Chances are you are not using iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync iOS 5.
    If youare using a PC, suggest you uninstall your iTunes, download fresh iTunes 10.5 from Apple.com/itunes and install it.

    Disconnected from what? the computer? Did you connect to the computer again, launch iTunes and then do as I described above?
    You have selected all of the apps to sync - put checkmarks in all of the boxes next to the app names and have the Sync Apps heading checked as well?
    Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>On?
    Are you signed into the correct iTunes account on the iPad and the computer?

    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with AppleScript Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
    delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. Note:  you may have to Control (right) - click on the app after uncompressing and select Open due to the Sandboxing feature of OS X.  If you have problems with the app create your own with AppleScript Editor.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

    My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
