My deceased brother's IPad was given to me but it is locked and passcode protected. I do not want access to the data on it, but would like to be able to use it. Can it be unlocked and reset to factory settings? Thanks!

You can try this: If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If he had not turned on Find My iPad then it will work, if he had you will run into Activation Lock. If you do run into it you can take a copy of the will (or probate finding if he died without one) and/or a Letter Testamentary and ask if they can look up where he purchased it. If they can, and you have the other documents, they can reset it for you.

Hi, I upgraded my girlfriend's iPad 2 using my iMac, however, her iPad was sync with her PC. Although I've made backup earlier, when I restore from backup the apps doesn't sync back, neither her documents on pages. How can I put then back to her iPad?

The backup saves many settings, but it copies photos and other files from the computer back to the iPad after IOS5 wipes the disk. Plugging it into her computer will re-sync it.

Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

I have a version 1 iPad. I would like to be able to use my LCD projector to display content to my students. I have the dongle to attach to the projector, but can't make it work. The process DOES work with my friend's iPad 2. Any advice? Thanks!

Expanding on what deggie said, with an iPad 1 the app you're using must support video out. Only the iPad 2 can mirror the screen. The apps included with the iPad that output to external monitors are given here:

For third-party apps, consult the app's documentation or contact the developer.

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

I would like to be able to take a video from my camera and download it to several iPads for playback without using iTunes? Possible?

I am taking a video for high school and would like to be able to download on multiple iPads without using iTunes. Is there an app that would aid me in doing this?

If you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) and the video that your camera generates is in one of the formats tha the iPad supports then you can directly move it to the iPad with a USB connection.

Hello...after upgrading to firefox 6 i'm having issues with some websites and would like to go back to firefox 5. can i do this and if so how? thanks

ever since firefox updated to version six i am having some issues with games on facebook and also loading several sites. i'm getting a lot of time outs. i would like to go back to firefox 5. please advise

Sorry, Swanarva, It didn't work as it was supposed to. I downloaded, saved file, clicked the download to open, clicked 'run' then got an error message that it couldn't find the file(!) . No idea what happened or why. Should I have uninstalled Firefox first, then downloaded Firefox 8 using another browser or downloaded, uninstalled Firefox 09 beta then tried installing Firefox 8?
At this rate, IE is looking good, despite its shortcomings.

While I appreciate the Adobe training videos, I would like to be able to print a hard copy of the content of the videos so that I have something to refer to without returning to the video but how can I do that?

I really enjoy the helpful videos when finding an Adobe Acrobat answer but I would like to be able to print the content of the video so that I can refer to it for help whenever I want without having to find the helpful training video all over again and have to watch it all over it again so can this be done and if so how?? - thanks

Thanks and yes, of course I could bookmark them but then I would have go continually go back and look at them all over again when I needed them which is not much of a time saver.
I guess I will have to do what the reply suggested and that is make screen shots and a combined PDF file from the screen shots in order to get exactly what I want. However, I feel this kind of defeats the real purpose of real "Help" in some way. Why not offer a print option on these video tips as I know there must be others who would often prefer a hard copy for referral as opposed to having to go to a bookmarked video again, just seems like a waste of time when you are in a hurry which is often the case.

should I do a full reset of TM (per the instructions at the link below) prior to setting up the TC?
I'd start by just selecting the new destination. Do the "full reset" if you have trouble with that.
do I need to set up the network portion first and then turn on TM?
That might make things easier.
even though my mini was previously only connected wirelessly to the old router, I plan to connect via Ethernet to the TC (for one thing, to make the initial backup run faster). Do I just turn AirPort settings off on the mini, or does that need to be on in order to setup the TC?
To assure that your first backup is over Ethernet I'd turn off AirPort until it's done. Check the order in the Network panel of System Preferences. I'd move the Ethernet connection item to the top of the list.
In other words, does the initial setup of the TC from my mini happen wirelessly or over Ethernet?
Either way should work fine.
I currently have a networked printer conneceted to my old router, which I will connect via Ethernet to the TC. Can I assume that, once I have set up all of my family's PCs/Macs/iDevices on the newly-established TC network, that I will have to re-establish connection to the printer as well?
Not necessarily. I'd only do that if the printer isn't available after the switchover.
I would like to reformat the second external drive (the one previously being used for TM backups) for possible reuse with another computer. Can I simply reconnect this to my mini and reformat?
That's what I'd do.
is TM going to see it and try to back it up?
If you've already reconfigured Time Machine to use the Time Capsule drive, there shouldn't be a problem.

I would like to make a form where I can type a word and it would replace it in the form

Hello,
I am looking to create a coverpage for a 150 page project document. I have the document written already, but would like the ability to make a cover page where I or someone else could fill in the projects location, company name and have those specifics, replace in the generic that I have in the document. I guess the closest discriptor I have would be the find-replace function in Word based on what is typed in the cover page field.
I hope I am clear on what I am after as I was unable to find anything based on what I was asking. If anyone knows how or what product to use that would be great.
kindest regards,
colin

You can use global data binding. See attached.

Is it possible to use scanning capabilities to access control of the iPad? I have a blind student who would like to be able to use the iPad

I am a vision teacher and work on the Assistive Technology Team in a school district. Is it possible to set up the iPad to allow the blind student access to the device using auditory scanning, then selecting their choice by using a switch or tapping the iPad?

Hi eriepa3,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This page includes information about Voiceover, which may help the student do just that:

For other options for blind users, see this page:

HT2534 I have three Apple IDs and would like to combine them all into one, can I do that and how?

When I started buying Apple products I did not realize how important it was to keep the same Apple ID and Password for all of the device. As a result I have four Apple ID's. I would like to only have one Apple ID for all my devices. Is this possible and what do I ave to do to make it happen? I appreciate any help you might be able to give me. Thanks

It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it.
