My new ipad got locked automatically

my new ipad got locked automatically

New iPads don't come with a password. If yours is asking for one, it's been set up already. If this is unexpected (you bought as new), you should check with the place you bought it. It's possible that it's a floor/demo model or returned unit.
You can always, of course, just restore the iPad by connecting it to iTunes, waiting for it to appear under Devices, then clicking Restore under the Summary tab. This will wipe out any existing settings and information.

  • New ipad 3 locked when switching from kindle app to safari

    I was very disapointed today when my brand new ipad 3 locked up today.  I had just finised downloading a kindle book from amazon and then went to the kindle app to read the book.  After a few minutes of reading I decided to look around on amazon.com again. So I pressed the home button and the safari web browser came up, and the ipad was locked up at that point.  It would not respond to the home button or the power switch. (until I pressed and held the power switch down for several seconds).
    What is the best way for me to report this to Apple ?
    Any one else have this sort of thing happen?

    Then it seems to me as if this is a problem in the ios, or the kindle app, or both.
    I find it hard to belive that it would be due to a 'memory leak' as I did not have the ipad running for long when this happened.  It's not like I was constantly switching back and forth from app to app. 

  • TS3988 my ipad got locked and now disabled since I got the latest download

    my ipad got locked and disabled after the latest download  from itunes...asked for a passcode which I did not oyt in yet...

    If it is disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode.  If you are using iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you will have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • New iPad Auto-Lock not functioing

    For some reason my New iPad Auto-Lock feature has stopped functioning. Auto-Lock, under general settings, is set at 2 minutes, yet it never engages.
    What could be causing this problem?

    Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps and see if that fixes it.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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 - let go of the buttons.

  • New iPad 3 locks up after taking a photo

    1 week old new 3 is locking up after trying to take a photo with standard camera icon that comes with iPad? Any tips? Have turned it off a couple of times no difference. Have about ten photos in gallery but each time we take a photo now iPad locks up and doesn't retain last picture taken. Other photo apps same thing happens.
    m

    Thank you both for your swift replies. Had just turned back on again and backed up.  I couldn't find restore only reset. Thought I would then try camera before resetting and seemed to be operating again.
    Thanks again

  • HT4061 My new ipad is locked

    I purchased an iPad from qvc and to get started it got locked and can't open it

    Locked? Meaning you set a passcode you don't remember?
    If so, you can restore the iPad following the directions below:
    Restore iPad

  • TS4062 my new ipad is locked up. message says...ipad not backed up. this ipad hasn't been backed up.backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. When I hit ok nothing happened, can't even reboot. How do i get in to back it u

    Ipad locked up as it hasnt backed up. can't reboot or anything to get in and back up

    Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup.  You will then see a button to backup your iPad.  It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items.  If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

  • HT1349 My apple ID was keyed incorrectly on start up of new iPad. So the email address is wrong and I cannot verify as I do not get the verification emails? Help anyone?

    Apple Id was set incorrectly, so the verification emails do not come through. Now my new iPad is locked in to an apple id that I cannot verify and so I cannot use download any apps that I need. Does anyone have solutions?

    Apple Id was set incorrectly, ...
    Do you know the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the apps you need? It should be a simple matter of going to Settings > Store, tap the Apple ID that appears then Sign Out.
    Sign in with the correct Apple ID and you should be all set.

  • Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

    Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
    Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Simple answer is YES.
    The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

  • Debris inside the glass of new iPad

    I found some foreign particle inside the screen of my new iPad, got it replaced and it had the same problem. gave it to service centre for replacement, the replacement piece also had the same problem.
    now waiting for my 3rd replacement. what happened to apple's quality? anybody else who shares same experience?

    What color is it? ususally that have more issues with white devices then black, from what ive heard
    if it doesnt get fixed the 3rd time i would suggest asking for a senior advisor if you call in to the support line because they'll be able to do something about it more then the other advisors
