The apple Id on my iPad was signed out. We don't remember the password. The sign in box just keeps popping up over and over even if you hit cancel. Now we can't use the iPad at all. Can anyone help?

the Apple id on my iPad was signed out. we don't remeber the password. I was going to create a new Id for it but the sign in box won't go away. Even if you hit cancel it immediately pops back up. You can't do anything in the iPad because the box won't go away.

If you can't remember its password then you should be able to get it reset (either via email or by answering its security questions) via http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't get it reset via that page then contact Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset it : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Can't use Google. At all. Please help!

    A couple of days ago, I started having trouble using any Google applications or even loading the pages for them. I can't check my gmail, get on the iGoogle homepage, use the search bar in the browser, or even load www.google.com. At first I thought maybe it was just down for a few minutes, whatever. At work, I can check my e-mail, use Google normally logged in, etc. Then I came home and it didn't work here still.
    Can anyone help? I have OS X, 4.11. My computer and internet are working fine. I am using an updated version of Safari, and have tried using Firefox-- no difference. I have tried using my fiance's computer (a Mac laptop, running 10.4.something) using Safari and Firefox too. Our computers are both hooked up via a broadband router to the same internet connection, which I have reset and restarted a few times. I have updated my computer, reset Safari twice, restarted the computer several times, etc.
    Is it possible that our IP has been blocked by Google somehow? My account is working as always on other computers, and I can't even imagine something I could have done to result in that, but I really can't think of another explanation. Could our ISP have some sort of issue with it? I'm at a loss here.

    Hi Julie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Try putting this in the URL bar of any browser...
    http://209.85.171.100/
    does that get you to Google?
    If so, Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.
    See if you might have this malware redirecting DNS queries...

    Hello, it's been 5 days now since my imessage has not working..and i have chatted to the costumer for two times. I took thier advice and instructions just to enable to send and receive on it but unfortunately until now its still NOT working. Is there anybody who could help me please?

    Try this even if you have already.  Just make sure to follow the steps specifically.
    Go to settings > Facetime > send and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.  If your not signed in then that will work as well.
    Go to settings > Messages > sent and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by doing the slide to power off setup.  Just hold the power button on the top right till it turns off.
    After the iPad has been restarted:
    Go to settings > Facetime > and sign in
    Go to settings > Messages > and sign in
    Wait about 3 min then restart the iPad again.  Same instructions as above.
    When you restart you should be able to use messages again.  If not then call support again and talk to someone higher than the first level support they have.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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.
     Cheers, Tom

  • If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS

    If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS?

    Right. But as I understand it, the aGPS is a function that speeds location using cell signals, but isn't necessary for the GPS signal. I can buy a plugin device that is a real GPS that I can use with my iPad mini. However, I would need an app for maps. I was wondering if anyone had used one of these.

  • Wifi problems.  I am using my ipad connected to a secure server.  I keep having connection problems.  My ipad shows I am connected, but I can't use the internet at all.  I keep getting a not connected message.  Help

    I am using my ipad on a secure network.  I have problems staying connected.  It shows I'm connected with full bars but I can't use the internet.  I turn the wireless off, reset the network and turned off the ipad, but this problem keeps happening. (Its been going on about 2 weeks)  Any ideas?

    Sayingyou went through all the steps of fixing provides us with little information see we do not know what step you tried.
    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Powered off and then back on your router?
    - The troubleshooting here:

    - Configuring your router to use no encryption as a test. If OK, the try a simple password.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

  • A box saying iCloud Backup 'This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi' - this box will not go away and so I can't use the iPad at all?

    press and hold top power button and home button in front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple, for it to reset.
    and make sure your initiating an icloud backup or it will come up again.
    1. be connected to wi fi
    2. be plugged in to power source
    3. turn screen off
    go to settings>icloud>storage and backup>backup now.

  • My iphone3gs was prompted to update to ios5. It gets almost to the end of the update then gives me error 1. I can't use my phone at all. I've tried to restore it but nothing. I've taken it into an electronic shop in which they tried to update and couldn't

    I've looked on-line and it seems that many people are having the same problems. No, it's not my Internet connection or my computer. This is a software problem as my phone was working fine before it made me update and I've heard the same story over and over again. The update to ios5 messed up my phone. Now Apple should fix it. I can't restore my phone, just gets to the end then quits. It says " iTunes recognizes a phone in recovery mode" so it is being detected. I've tried this on many different computers, at different locations, through a wireless connection and connected directly. Please fix. This happened in Oct or Nov, 2011 when the ios5 update came out.

    Sounds like your phone was previously jailbroken.

  • I downloaded the new os7 on my Ipad mini. Now in order to use the ipad I need to use a passcode. I cannot get pass the login screen and I never set up my ipad to use a passcode. What can I do?

    I downloaded the new os7 on my ipad mini. Now in order to use the Ipad, I need to enter a passcode. I cannot get pass this screen. I did
    not set it up to use a passcode. What can I do? I am not too computer savy.

    I have the same problem. I upgraded to iOS7, entered my usual passcode when prompted in setup, and when I tried to access my iPad after installation was finished it denied my passcode. I can't connect to any internet to erase it or anything because the new iOS hasn't yet been configured to a wifi network, so I can't backup from anything either.
    When I connect the iPad to iTunes, it tells me that Find My iPad must be disabled on my iPad before backup or restore can continue - and I can't access anything beyond the lock screen of my iPad at all because it refuses to accept my passcode, so I can't get to Find My iPad.
