New ios7 disabled my ipad

When I dont sync my ipad, how can I unlock it when the new passcode was guessed wrong to disable it. I cant afford to wipe it just to turn it back on.

Look here for all possible ways of unlocking the iPad. More than likely you will have to wipe it if you want to use it again.

If you can't afford to wipe just to turn it back on again, then don't. You may end up with an iPad that does nothing or serves no purpose to you, but that's your choice to make.

I'm sorry, but I do not understand what you are asking or saying. Perhaps you could clarify a little bit.

How do I get the weather to show up in Notification Center in new iOS7 for iPad?

I just uploaded the new iOS7 to my iPad and can't get the weather to show up in the Notification Center. The location services are turned on, so I'm not too sure what else to do. Thanks!

Hi SalynotSally,
I use the Weather Channel app, but shortly after I posted this problem, the weather did start showing up. The notification center says at the bottom that the weather is provided by yahoo. I did make sure the location services and such were on though as Diavonex recommended above.
Good luck and hope it works for you!

Please help. I can't use my iPhone 4G with it's updated new iOS7. I can't remember my passcode and it stays at "iPhone is disabled". Have I lost the use of my iPhone forever? It's an iPhone not iPad.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Is there any way I can get back to ios6 on my iPad? The new ios7 is a major disappointment, especially visually, and would love to "downgrade" back to ios6. Any advice how to do this?

Is there any way to downgrade back to ios6 from the new ios7? I made a major mistake in downloading the new operating system. It is a major disappointment, particularly visually, and would love to get back to the more user friendly ios6 on my iPad. Last time I experienced a similar disappointment was when I tested the new Microsoft 8. In that case I was luckily able to stick to the previous operating system.

Thanks. Pitty, seems like Apple suddenly created more competition for itself. The edge is gone and Apple is also now into "art for art's sake".

I have installed ios7 on my iPad 4. After installation it asked me pass code which I have never set. After multiple attempts it is disabled. I don't have backup on my iCloud or iTunes. Is there anyone who can help to enable it or to reverse iPad to ios6.

Is there anyone who can help to enable it or to reverse iPad to ios6. I asked Apple store & tech said to format it but I will lose all the data..!

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
The + sign just closes the app every single time!
In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!

I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
If there is:
See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue.

My ipad on the new ios7 is working very slow wifi

my ipad on the new ios7 is working very slow on wifi and so is my iphone 5 any suggestions?

A solution has been found thanks to a couple of hours on the net and logical analysis.
It seems my email provider BT has changed their mail client to Outlook 365. They have started my migration, hence I cannot send mail from home wifi, and will complete after a few days.
If anyone reading this in the UK and has the same issue then follow this link for setup of the new system.

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes (you will need an up-to-date version of iTunes installed on your computer) and you should be able to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you can then restore/resync your content to it

Try this first - Reset 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.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

When I loaded the new ios7 software I found that now the kindle app will not sync my "furthest page read" from iPad, or vice versa. Can someone help me?

When I loaded the new ios7 software on my ipad, I found that I could not sync my iPad with the kindle app. I hesitate to delete the app and reload it in fear I will lose all my books. Can anyone help me?

Ask in the kindle forums.
Isn't all your kindle stuff archived by amazon, so that you can't lose it by deleting the app? In any case, nothing to do with Apple.
