Removal procedures for iOS 8 from an iPad

I need to remove iOS 8 from my iPad.  My iPad is pretty much non-functional at this time.

There is no Apple supported* way to downgrade iOS versions, or roll back updates.
What fixes have you attempted for the issues?
Have you tried to reset the iPad?
Have you tried to Restore it as new to refresh the installation?
Its possible something went wrong with the installation, and its causing these issues?
To Reset the iPad hold down the home and Power/sleep buttons until the Apple logo shows up.
If that does not fix it, try a restore:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • How do I remove my credit card information from my ipad and iphone

    How do I remove my credit card information from my ipad and ipone account?

    Nice idea, but no.  You are no longer allowed to remove it, it will keep asking you for a valid account and won't let you save it with anything less.  So if your account has been hacked from iTunes (like mine has in the past, to the tune of several thousand dollars), and you don't want to keep a credit card on file, just add it in and delete it when you are done buying something, this is no longer an option.  Since I stupidly wanted to buy something and didn't know this had been changed, I now get to hope my account does not get hacked again.
    I am so sick of Apple making everything so bloody difficult, I'm about this close to ditching my iphone and ipad.  They are fabulous when they work, but if you have software problems (my ipad is currently a very expensive book reader, since it won't do anything else with any reliability after going to iOS 6), there is no help available, and no fixes available.  Help online just sends you in endless circles, help on the phone is useless if you have not paid for a service contract.

    Try this and see if it works for you. Not everybody can use the "None" option from the iPad, but try it anyway.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to Payment Information in the popup window
    Select "None"

  • HT4207 how can I remove a specific gmail account from my ipad 4?

    How can I remove a specific Gmail account from my ipad 4?

    Assuming you are not syncing with iCloud and you mean, syncing with iTunes only...(you can only use one or the other for syncing to prevent duplicates)
    iTunes -
    - Open iTunes on your Mac. Connect your iPad. Then click on your iPad (either its name or just "iPad"), then click the info tab (right above the photo of an iPad in the middle). From here you can select sync contacts, then sync groups, and select the groups you want and choose Apply/Sync in the bottom left corner.
    iCloud -
    - With iCloud if you just sign into iCloud in System Preferences and turn on Contacts, it will prompt to merge all of your contacts that are not already syncing with Gmail or Yahoo!, etc. so there really isnt a way to pick and choose as much with that.
    - However if you really want to use iCloud and not iTunes, you could import the contacts that you want into iCloud.com, but you would need to export them from your Contacts App on your Mac and then import them into iCloud (VCard / .VCF is the format you want).
    * Exporting the contacts from your Mac Contacts Application --> http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/app-training/contacts-101-a-beginners-guide-to -contacts-on-os-x/ (further down the page)
    *Importing contacts into iCloud.com - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605
    **NOTE - Remember if you do the import into iCloud.com method, DO NOT sign into System Preferences > iCloud, and choose to MERGE contacts. If you do this later, all of your contacts will merge with iCloud and you will have duplicates of this group.
    I hope this isnt too confusing. Have a good night!

  • How to remove a broken charger nib from my iPad?

    How to remove a broken charger nib from an iPad?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Was it the old 30-pin connector, or the new Lightning plug? There have been sporadic reports of the new connector snapping just ahead of the two side "dimples" that are used to hold it in place, but this would be the first time I hear of similar failure on the older and bigger connectors.
    If at all possible, I would suggest a visit to an Apple Store for free assessment. Else proceed with caution either with tweezers and/or a pin to nudge the fragments out. Maybe a review of the corresponding teardown of your model at IFixIt.com may help you visualize how to attack the problem.

    Hello Shy guy,
    You can try this:
    1. Go to the iTunes Store or App Store
    2. Scroll down, there you will see Apple ID: "your email" (below Redeem and Send Gift)
    3. Tap on that button
    4. Tap on Sign Out
    Now you should be able to use another Apple ID.

  • How can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad

    how can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad?

    Iif the photos were synced to the iPad they can only be removed by connecting to iTunes on your computer, unselecting the photos folder that you synced to the iPad and then follow that with a sync.
    IF the photos are in the camera roll, open the camera roll album, tap the as select button in the upper right corner, tap on each photo that you want to delete in order to select them and then tap the trash can icon.

  • I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them.  (the iphone isn't in use anymore.)  What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

    I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them.  (the iphone isn't in use anymore.)  What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

    Connect the iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and launch iPhoto.  In iPhoto you can select which files to upload into the library.  Once in the library export them out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  with Kind=Original. That will give you copies of the videos in the folder for use outside of iPhoto.
    If you want to bypass importing into iPhoto try launching Image Capture and manually upload the selected video files to the folder of your choice.

    An iPad is not a phone and does not have built in Texting capability. You can iMessage other iPad, iPhone users but iMessages will not reach non Apple devices. There are some apps in the App Store that provide some level of text messaging. Search the App Store.

    Please can some one tell me how I can remove an ex boyfriends account from my iPad ? I want it update my updates but his email address always comes up and not mine

    Press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
    Note that deleting an app will delete all of its content as well
