Please help! iPad locked while using it with Apple TV

If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it!
For some reason, my mom's iPad (first generation) is having an issue with the password. My mom uses her iPad daily, so she certainly didn't forget her 4 digit password, and yet, we can't unlock the iPad. We've tried so many times that we are currently locked out for an hour.
I have no idea if the following is the reason that the password no longer works, but I might as well descibe what I was doing that may have caused it to stop working.
I bought a new soundsystem for my mom's television. We also have an Apple TV hooked up to the TV. I was testing out the sound system by trying to Netflix from Apple TV through the new sound system. In what I imagine to be a totally unrelated problem, the sound system wasn't working with the Apple TV unless the sound system is connected directly to Apple TV (via optical cable).
Anyways, in the midst of trying to figure all of this out, I was using my mom's iPad to control the Apple TV (as opposed to using the remote control that comes with the Apple TV). I was having no issues using the gestures on the iPad to control the Apple TV. Then, after so many minutes of the iPad being idle, I re-awakened the iPad to see that I needed to input the 4 digit password. I asked my mom for her password, tried several times, and it didn't work. Then I had my mom try herself, and the 4 digit pw didn't work. We had to wait several minutes before trying again. We're now at the point where we're having to wait 60 minutes to try an input the 4 digit pw again.
I'm wondering if there was something happening with the Apple TV that caused the iPad to mess up somehow? Any ideas?!?
I'm very confused right now. I would hate to have to restore my mom's iPad and have her lose the hundreds of pictures that she saved on there.
I connected my mom's iPad to my Mac (she doesn't have her own computer) to see if that would work, but my Mac is saying that my mom's iPad is locked.
I can't remember the last time we synced my mom's iPad to any computer. It's possible that the last time it was synced was with my old Mac Mini that I haven't used since December. Would connecting it to my old Mac Mini yield potentially helpful results??

I suggest that in addition to waiting out the 60 minute period, try resetting the iPad. (Do both.)
Reset it by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Problem with locks while using iBATIS with MS Access through JDBC-ODBC brid

Hello,
I am attempting to use iBATIS to access MS Access file via JDBC-ODBC bridge.
(I am using Spring's "SqlMapClientDaoSupport," but that is probably irrelevant)
All this runs on Tomcat... First time DB gets accessed the LDB lock file is created. From there on the only way I can remove the lock file is to kill the JVM...
Any help is greatly appreciated...

And why is that a problem?

There's a good chance that this is a known issue. We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

my i pad is lock can someone please help the password was used to many times

If you have forgotten the iPad passcode and you cannot unlock the device, you have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your iTunes content. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

If you mean updae server
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise what server are you talking about

How to trigger New page while using ALV with classes/oops?

Hi All
I am trying to print a report which has to show the data in two pages.
I am using ALV with classes/oops.
Though I am able to print the report but a new page is not coming. Whole of the data is coming in one single page.
Please tell me as to how to trigger a NEW PAGE while using ALV with classes/oops.
Please send some code samples also if available.
Thanks in advance.
Jerry

using sort option you can do it. in case of grid/oo alv class ALV you can view that only in print mode/preview mode.
in case of list you can view that directly.
sort-fieldname = 'FIELDNAME'.
sort-group = '*' "triggers new page
sort-up = 'X'.
append sort to it_sort.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11<br />
Best would be to update to OS X 10.5 or later if you want to use Firefox 4 and later versions (current is 8.0).<br />
There is a Firefox 8 compatible third-party version TenFourFox from www.floodgap.com for a PowerPC Mac, but no alternative for an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.

I have two instances in a server. both have different homes. I want to create a seperate listener for the second one i created.
But that is not happening.

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps2/oracle)

LISTENER1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = aixth53)(PORT = 1524))
When I check lsnrctl status with LISTENER1 , it still shows the other instance home with port#: 1521
Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.

The listener is a broker only and doesn't play any role in normal communications.
It just forks a process or a thread, and that's it.And the listener is a single point of failure. Listener goes down, you can't connect to the db. That's why you need two listeners.If listener one goes down, then listener two goes down for exact same reason since it is a single executable file.I'm not playing tit-for-tat with you. Fact is, there are situations where people who are not you might want to use more than one listener.Some folks might want to jab a sharp pencil into their eye, too.
Just because you can do something, it does not necessarily mean it should be done.

*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
