New iPad Air is asking for a passcode but didn't ask me to set one during set up, did it by thumb print

New iPad asking for passcode but didn't ask for one to be set during set up process, it only wanted my thumbprint. Is there easy way to solve?

I'm pretty sure you were asked to set up a passcode. It is required every time you power up the iPad after it has been powered down or reset. From the manual:
"The Setup Assistant guides you through the setup process, including:
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID (needed for many features, including iCloud, FaceTime, the App
Store, the iTunes Store, and more)
Entering a passcode
Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain
Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services
Activating iPad with your carrier (cellular models)"
If you have no recollection of it, all you can do is restore your iPad to factory settings, i.e. start again.

Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. Cheers Brian

Got new iPad Air tried to setup using iCloud but because the iOS was not up to date I couldn't setup as same as old iPad

Got iPad Air and 5s and tried to use iCloud to set them up but because the iOS was not up to date I had to set up as new, and now I can't get them to be the same as old phone and ipad2. I have got some contacts and some calendar entries bug no apps or pictures etc

What you would do is set up your new one. Don't try to restore it from the backup, just set it up, update it and then wipe it (settings, general, erase all content and settings)
then set your new ipad up again but this time choose to restore it from the backup of your old one.
Basically you set it up just enough to download and update it, then you wipe it and restore it.

Can two or more devices use the same Apple account with different cell phone numbers. I want to use FaceTime on a my 5s and my wife wants her own FaceTime on a new iPad Air with its own cell number but be linked with me with iCloud to share music

I have a 5s with an apple account and wife has a iPad air with its own cell number. Does the iPad need it's own apple account to use it's own phone number so her FaceTime calls are not sent to my phone. We want to be able to link each device to iCloud and share music, photos, ect. iPad iMessage and FaceTime have my cell number activated.

On my new ipad air, my photostream turned itself on, but i didnt want to have my photos go to my photostream, is there any way i could turn off the photostream without having to delete all of the photos that are already on the ipad?

HELP!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you turn off photo stream it will only remove the photo stream album, it won't remove photos from your camera roll.

I plan to buy an iPad Air to use for navigation in an airplane. Which color would have the least glare from sunlight entering the cockpit?

I plan to buy a new iPad Air to use for navigation in an airplane. Which color would have the least glare from sunlight entering the cockpit?

I'm no expert, but I would think Space Gray would be your answer, because it has a black front. The Silver iPad Air has a white front.

Try this - 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 is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

New ipad air opened up asking for passcode

brought a new ipad air i have opened and tuened it on it it asking for a passcode.i havent set up a passcode. why is this?

HT2589 My new ipad air will not download apps or ask for my itunes account info when I do try to download or purchase an app.

Just added the new ipad air to my itunes account. When I go to purchase or download apps it will not ask for my itunes account info, a grey box appears on my main screen with "waiting" under it and in the "app store" it will show the app that i chose with a constant spinning circle. Any ideas?

The iCloud account has nothing to do with downloading apps over wireless, but if you do not have an iCloud account you can delete that account information if you want to do so. Do you have other use of WiFi with the iPad? It is connecting and working correctly for email and such?
You could try going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and then re-select the WiFi network and enter the password again...then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
All of that may clear problems of a minor nature.

The passcode you need to enter is the passcode you set on your device. It is the passcode that you enter when you turn on your iPad or awaken it from sleep after and Auto lock.
If you do not know or remember your password and did not store it somewhere then you will have to restore your device.

Bought new iPad Air, but it keeps asking for my old Apple ID to complete the synch process

I've just purchased an iPad Air. I had changed my Apple ID some time ago. I've updated my old iPad 2 with the new Apple ID and deleted the old Apple ID from the iCloud function. Now that I'm trying to synch the two, the iPad Air first asks me for my iCloud Sign In and that seems to work with the new Apple ID, but then in the next screen, after the ToCs, it asks me to choose a back up. I choose today's backup. The problem comes in the next screen when it says Enter the Apple ID password for [old Apple ID] to use for store purchases. What do I do? Is there somewhere that I've missed signing off the old Apple ID? Please help. Thank you!

Well, as it turns out, there's no need to delete your old Apps. Unfortunately, i did that, but accidentally left one or two with the old ID. What happens is that you just Skip the step. It then tells you that some things couldn't be restored. I've now restored it to yesterday's backup and there's not much that's not there - there are some PDF docs missing that I had sent to kindle app and that's annoying. And yes agree that one shouldn't even bother changing Apple ID ever!! What a hassle!
Wish I had know that before.
Thanks all!

New Ipad Air everfthing transfereed over but cannot send emails keeps asking for a stmp password.

New Ipad Air have managed to transfer over all apps and photos, but it will not let me send e mails keeps asking for a stmp pasword can any one help please.

Hi bmwk100rt!
You will need to do this in settings. Go to mail in settings and tap on your account. Go down the page, past where it asks for your address and p-word, and there will be a window for stmp. Tap on that, and you'll be able to enter your information there. It's usually the same info as for your email. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
