My new ipad is showing the message 'Use wi fi to restore - A wi fi connection is required to download your apps and media' then gives 2 buttons
I had my ipad replaced last week. The apps etc were transferred to the new ipad and it worked fine for a couple of days. This morning the screen locked up and displayed the message - Use WiFi to Restore- A wi fi connection is required to download your apps and media. Then gives a choice of two buttons - Later or Use Wifi. Absolutely nothing happens when you press these buttons, the whole screen has locked up and it can't even be turned off. If you hold the off button down then eventually the slide to power off button appears but nothing happens when you swipe it. Help!
Hold down the home button and power button at the same time, ignore the power off slider until the Apple logo appears.

Hi,
My name is Norbert. I am having some difficulties restoring my icloud back up. My ipad was doing an icloud back up and the alert message displayed on the ipad after my internet was interrupted "A wi-fi connection is required to download your apps and media".
I got the internet working, my ipad is receiving internet network but the alert message is still displayed on the ipad and won't go away, to make matters worse the ipad is frozen and i can't do anything.
Please can anyone with a similar experience tell me what to do in this situation?
Thank youWelcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried a hard restart. Press the on/off button and homescreen buttons together until the device shuts down. -

How will have an option to create an icloud id
Hello there, vishal274.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a great FAQ that provides some great answers to some of the more common questions about iCloud, including yours:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
How do I sign up for iCloud?
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
I had a free Find My iPhone account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
Update the devices that you use with Find My iPhone to iOS 5 (iOS 6 recommended). When you're asked to enter an Apple ID during setup, enter the Apple ID you were using for Free Find My iPhone. Your account will be automatically updated to iCloud.
I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -

. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?
The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
Good Luck -
dueing the update IOS 7 7.0.2, ipad show the message is contact the itunes, when I back the house, ipad contact the PC and itunes for recovery the ipad but unsuccessful. Now ipad is not start.please help
I hope this helps. If I understood your question properly, it is the same or similar problem many, including myself, had with the IOS7 update. I'll relay my situation & what I did to rectify it. I have the iPad2 & MACBook Pro. I have an iPhone 5 but won't be updating it.
IF YOU HAVEN'T YET UPDATED YOUR iPAD TO IOS 7... DON'T. NOT UNTIL YOU'RE CERTAIN YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR iPAD, AT LEAST. BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR DEVICE.
FIRST: BACK UP YOUR IPAD, & ALL YOUR DEVICES.
NEXT: CHECK FOR UPDATES ON ALL DEVICES.
I updated my iPad while away from my main wifi connection because using my main wifi for the last update subsequently interfered with my connection thereafter. New problem now.
1.) Once I updated (was it successful/unsuccessful?) Because...
My iPad showed a large apple with a line underneath; then it illustrated & said, "connect to iTunes." i can't accessa thing. (Huh? Doesn't Apple know people TRAVEL FAR away from their MAC with their iPads? I WAS RUDELY LEFT WITH AN INOP DEVICE on the road.)
2.) On my MAC: I checked for all updates, & ensured my iTunes was updated.
3.) I followed thre following instructions from a website (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ios-7-problems/) I found when researching this common problem. iPhone... iPad... same instructions...
...connect to iTunes and try DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.
Potential solution:
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button to turn your iPhone off.
Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for ten seconds, and then release the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue to hold down the Home button until you see a pop-up on iTunes stating that “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.”
Your iPhone screen should be blank, if you see a logo or message on it then you are not in DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.
Select your iPhone in the left hand column of iTunes and select Summary then Restore.
You may need to install the iOS 7 update again.
------------------ THIS WORKED.
I followed the instruction & so far so good. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR iPAD! It will continue to prompt you through SEVERAL items, including the re-installation of one of your previous back-ups. It appears the back-up was successful & that everything is now back to normal.
Except that now I'm stuck with the juvenile appearance of this new IOS. My Notepad no longer looks like a notepad. Why don't I just type on DOS? My APPLE easthetice have disappeared. If I can, I will revert to IOS 6.

HT1349 why when i start the new ipad, it shows " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"?
when I start my new ipad, it shows " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"? so, i need to tap the cancel button 2 times. after that, i can use my new ipad. I just bought the new ipad 21.05.2012. yesterday, worst to worst, i cannot used my new ipad because after i tap the button cancel 2 times, the new i pad just hanging there with the box Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!". It doesn't moved and I hate it so much.
Most likely your yahoo password setup in your mail account is wrong. When you wake your ipad it checks for mail right away(even though it has when it sleeps). Your password or something with your Yahoo mail is wrong.
Assuming caldav is your yahoo name. If its not a yahoo email, you have email setup wrong. Its your email. -
I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.
Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

Hi! ... When configuring my new iPad, it says the UserId is already in use and I cannot progress any more. Of course it's in use, it's my UserId. How do I continue ?? ... Thanks in advance
Did you select "Sign In with an Apple ID" as opposed to "Create a free Apple ID" when setting it up?

Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?
Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
You can download iTunes for your computer here.
