Server crashed. How do I reset iPads so they stop looking for the server?

I was using the OSX Server app on an old Mac Mini when it crashed. A cart of iPads had been set up to use Profile Manager with the Device Enrollment Program part of Apple Mobile Deployment. I have deleted the server from the Device Enrollment Program, but my iPads are stuck in set up looking for the server. I am willing to put them back in Configurator at this point, but Configurator will not recognize them. Help!

Yes, MaxAuthTries is involved here as a limit, but -vvv should tell you more of what's going on...
Warning: Permanently added '[FQDN]:2336' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
is normal for a new ssh connection.
Too many authentication failures for USER
usually means the password is wrong, or the ssh certificate is not accepted or not acceptable. Or that you might possibly have tried a large number of different logins, and bumped into MaxAuthTries.
Try an ssh from the client into the target box with the -vvv switch (and the proper target port, if you're not using 22 here), and see if you can duplicate the error. The -vvv turns on gonzo logging. Depending on what's going on, you might also have to turn on logging in sshd. That's usually a configuration file option within the context of the daemon.
For grins, I'd also check DNS services on both the client and the server; use sudo changeip -checkhostname on the server, and dig +short www.example.com (substitute the FQDN of the server) on the client.

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
I have tried closing the camera app completely & also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
Any ideas anyone?

You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.

How can I install PhotoStich software without it looking for the CD?

I've misplaced the software that came with my T4i. I have downloaded all of the software from the T4i Driver\Software site. I was able to install all of the software except for the PhotoStich software. When I run the installer, it wants to do a CD search. Is there a way to install the software with out it asking for the original CD's?

Yes, but you have to modify your registry.

The name of my home network changed, now I cannot sync my ipad as it is looking for the old network name, can I change this?, the name of my home network changed, now I cannot sync my ipad as it is looking for the old network name, can I change this?

The wifi sync button is greyed out and it says that I will be able to sync once connected to <previous network name>
How can I change the default network I use?

go to,
Settings > Wi-Fi > select your new network name and join the network (by entering the password for it)
you should now be on your new network
For completeness, you could delete your old network by,
Settings > Wi-Fi > click on your old network name > Forget Network
I hope that this fixes things for you.

TS1398 I just reset my new router name and password and my iPad keeps picking up the old name using the old password. How do I purge the old info and get it to look for the new name?

I installed a new wireless router and connected with my iPad. I then changed the ID and password with ethernet but now my iPad keeps picking up the old router name and password and doesn't see the new name. How can I get it to stop looking for the old name and find the new one?

Hello Stevo39,
If your iPhone continues to prompt for your old account and password then check out the following article.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

‘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.

How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear in the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. If your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do it via your computer's iTunes.

Apple ID. My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID. My apple ID is not an email address. How can I get past the set-up screen?

I can't change my Apple ID. It would mess all my stuff up.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Diavonex was not treating this as a joke. He was giving you the answer to your question in a perfectly polite and respectful way. Without the Apple ID credentials to which the iPad is locked or proof that you are the original purchaser, there's nothing you can do. The device is useless to you.

Try restarting
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Have you not got a backup of your content on external drives and/or CDs/DVD ? If so then you can copy that onto the computer and load them into iTunes. Have you tried doing File > Transfer Purchases in iTunes with the phone connected to see if any of you purchases transfer over ? If you are in the US then you should also be able to re-download past music purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you havn't bothered backing up your content then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned on this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

forgot my security questions, how do i reset answers to these questions by using the resuce email?

If you have a link to send the answers there, use it, wait a few hours, and check the address's spam filter.
If you can't get it reset that way, go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. Ifn this case, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

Of particular use in your case:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
