i have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i dont have a data plan yet & i have set up wifi but it wont conect to the internet
From your description above I conclude that the WiFi transmitter and receiver of your iPad appear to be working, but I abviously cannot tell how well they are working.
Have you reset your iPad already?
Press the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until only the white Apple logo appears on the screen - usually 10 to 15 seconds - ignore anything else.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?
Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help. -
I can not restore my IPad and I can not update it . I tried with ITunes and with the device as well
Any help. PleaseIt really helps if you describe what is happening, otherwise there is no way to offer meaningful suggestions. Just saying "I can't ..." Doesn't tell us anything helpful.

Ipad wont switch on and apple logo stays on screen
Tried holding down buttons but still not working?
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, I want to ensure that you did the system reset correctly. Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -

Thanks in advance - hopefully....Read this.

My phone wont turn on and I can't restore it
So i was on my laptop doing whatever I wanted, I thought that maybe somebody might have text me so i went to check my phone. This has happened once but that's when it had water damage. It was never near water or any water substances (ice, steam, etc) and so I thought it might have died somehow even tho it was at 68%. It never had the empty battery sign and it won't turn onto the iphone logo. I tried holding the power and home button down for 10sec./ when the Itunes logo came up but it never worked. When I hook it up to itunes it doesn't come up like it normal does when it is dead.
Hello, your phone is bricked and I suggest bringing it to an Apple store or calling Apple.

My computer is ill, does not recognise hard drive and so can not restore
Hello there, I'm new to all this but would be thrilled if someone could help,
I've had my iBook for going on three years and it crashed yesturday. To my horror it would not start up again afterwards. I heard the chime but then only a grey screen, I have had something similar before and been able to load up from the install disc and restore the software. However when I get onto the install disc and get as far as selecting the device/volume or whatever the hard drive is not listed! when I quit installer and go to the disk utillity option the Hard Drive is listed but no 'volume (as I believe is the correct term) is listed below. As most of my stuff is luckily on a external hard drive I decided to use the Erase facility (the only apparent option) to hopefully re-awaken the hard drive. But this did not work and I see no way of starting up from the hard drive. As a apple store will charge £60 just to look at it I am keen to identify the fault myself. Is the hard-drive simply given up? would a new hard drive (however tricky to install) be the solution? Or could it be a range of things? That only apple people should diagnose? what are my options? I'm a panicking design student who's mac hasn't let me down yet.
Many ThanksHi Dave,
Welcome to the Discussions.
It's possible (more likely the drive is dead) that the drive's directory is damaged. If that's the case, Disk Warrior may be able to fix it. At $80US for Disk Warrior, I'd be more inclined to replace the drive. If your patient and can wield a few small tools, you can replace it yourself.

iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Symptoms
iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
Resolution
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
4. Get Support
If none of these options fix your issue, contact Apple Support. -
I plugged my Iphone 3gs into computer to update and it went into recovery mode and now can not restore which is the next prompted step. Computer and I tunes says they are fully updateded as well.Tried restarting computer and Iphone. Still no luck.
Force your phone into DFU mode (search google) and restore.
Note: if your phone has been previously jailbroken, these steps may not work and you may have "bricked" your phone for good.
