On iOS 7 on iPad mini how do I reset restrictions?

On iOS 7 on iPad mini how do I reset restrictions? I forgot the password and can not disable them

You have to restore the iPad to factory settings without using the back - if the backup contains the password for restrictions. If the backup does not contain the password, you can use it. But remember that if you use that backup, you turn back the clock on the iPad to the date and time that the backup was created and you lose everything that you have acquired with regard to data and photos since then.
However, when you restore to factory settings, you erase the iPad complete and will have to start all over again. Much of your paid content can be downloaded again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • HT1386 My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?

    Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
    Documents say
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
    But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
    And my  Ipad  (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc)  shows  a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
    Both are in the same network,
      Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
    . iTunes is open on the computer
    what can i Do ???

    Hi Skydiver119,  and tks for four interest.
    I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
    You indicated  " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
    I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
    I disconnect the wire,
    and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
    in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
    So, I can not sync via wi-fi
    I appreciate if you can help me.

  • The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that?

    The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that? Or just wait till Mac release a new version update, also some game and apps doesn't open or when open they close, please help!!!

    Start by closing all apps and resetting your iPad and see if that helps with any of your issues.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close all of the apps on the iPad this way.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I lost my iPad mini how can I find it?

    I lost my iPad mini how can I find it?

    If you had "Find My iPad" enabled then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPad" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPad" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • Bought a used iPad mini, how do I register it?

    I bought an iPad mini, how do I register it, when it appears under someone's else name

    I am sure that if you have a word with the previous owner, you could assist him when he connects with itunes and help him to delete the device from his list.
    Well Craigslist purchases are usually for cash and take place in some public place - you will never see the other party again. So, your well meant comment will most likely not work.
    And, for the OP: exactly how do you know yours was not stolen? Since there is no nationwide database for stolen iDevices, it's merely a (true or false) assertion by the seller. And, Apple instituted the restrictions for the owner's protection - the previous owner must disassociate the device before you can associate it. I do believe that you should still be able to use it (presumably you do have the password if there was one set up); however, you will not be able to update or purchase anything as all of that is forever associated with the previous owner's Apple ID.

  • I seem to have deleted iTunes and the App Store from my iPad mini, how do I get them back?

    I've deleted the App Store and iTunes from my iPad mini, how do I get them back?

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Getting a "waiting..." or "installing..." message after sideloading an Enterprise signed app onto iOS 7 iPad Mini (among others) using App Builder 3.1.0.

    Getting a "waiting..." or "installing..." message after sideloading an Enterprise signed app onto iOS 7 iPad Mini (among others) using App Builder 3.1.0. The app icon remains "dim" on iPad desktop with one of the two messages. The messages change depending upon sync with iTunes or power-up from a shutdown. Tried assigning v30 and v31 as viewer versions, neither appear to work. The certificate signing appear to work without incident. The appropriate profile appears correctly within the iPad does not show it is expired.

    This happens when the mobileprovision file does not include the device ID of the device you are attempting to install onto. You need to recreate the .mobileprovision file and make absolutely sure the device ID for the devices are included.

    Why iPad mini battery drain so quickly in sleep mode? about 35% in 7 days sleep mode (100% to 65%). Compare with my iPad 2, 7 days in sleep mode, only 2%! (100 - 98%). is it because differences in iOS? iPad mini iOS 6.0.1, iPad 2 iOS 4.3.3. I'm really frustating because of this. thanks for help

    What kind of ipad mini / ipad 2 you got?
    AFAIK,
    1. ipads drain battery with 3g/4g on (regardless on wifi or not) 1% overnight.. so for 7 days .. 65 is about correct.
    2. Are your ipads setup to receive remote push notification? (more push = more battery drain.. as the screen lit up)
    3. With iOS 6 vs iOS 4 .. there are more stuff running in the background and more toggles.. that could also contribute to battery drain.

    Hi Sheila431616,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.  You should be prompted again, and the next time you can choose to Trust.
    iOS: 'Trust This Computer' alert
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5868
    Note: If you select Trust, the computer will be trusted indefinitely. If you select Don't Trust, you will be asked if you want to trust that computer each time you connect your device to that computer.

    I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

    And I am very confused by your query. Your iTunes account is the same on all devices - unless of course you have multiple accounts to begin with.
    If you do have another Apple ID that you use for the iPad purchases, you can sign out of the account that is on the iPad in Settings>Store.
    Perhaps a few more details from you could clear up the confusion???
