TS3274 I have a pop up notification that won't go away after I hit OK

My son used my Ipad with the app "Find my iPhone" to find his iTouch.  We have done this many times with both devices only this time when I open my iPad the notification is there stating "Iphone has been found" hit "OK".  I hit OK and the notification doesn't go away, therefore not allowing me to get onto the iPad. I hit is a thousand times.  I tried turning it off, charging the battery - it is still there.  Is there a way to reset the iPad?  Thanks. 

Definitely try Grumpy's solutions first.  They're quick and easy.
If they don't help, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I have a new email notification that won't go away, (Exchange), though I do not have a new email. How do i resolve this?

    I have a notification for my Exchange account saying I have a new email. Though, I don't and there are no unread emails in that account. How do I get rid of this? Any ideas?

    Try tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your Exchange account > turn Mail off and see if the badge goes away. Then turn Mail back on for the Exchange account.
    If that doesn't do it, you can try restarting or restoring the iPhone.

  • I have calendar notifications that won't go away, even though I've deleted all occurrences of the calendar, including on my iPhone, my iPad, my Mac and iCloud

    I have a calendar that I've deleted EVERYWHERE, and re-synced. But the calendar alerts are still appearing on my iPad and my iPhone. HELP!

    if password is correct - you are not connected to internet. Connect if you can. If you can't connect - you may have to restore ipad in recovery mode.
    But if password is incorrect - that will render ipad useless.

  • Help required with pop up window that won't go away

    I need to re-configure my network settings, but when I access 'network' in 'system preferences' a pop up window appears that states 'Your network setting have been changed by another application'. When I click 'OK', the window just re-appears and I cannot therefore access the network window. Help!

    Look at this link. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9372513
    I did BDAqua's suggestion
    To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

  • A notification that won't go away

    I've got a notification showing up on my Blackberry in the same place I would normally get notifications for texts or missed calls. It's the wifi signal, with a one next to it. However, whenever I try checking it, nothing shows up. When I was at my local Walmart I tried connecting to the wifi there while I waited for my brother to finish his transaction; it took me to a page to agree to terms and conditions, but just when I agreed to them, my brother called for my help bagging his items and I shoved my phone into my pocket without disconnecting the wifi first. I didn't take my phone out again until I was at home, when it connected to my home's wifi. That was the first time I noticed the notification. 
    I saw a proposed solution that said to go to the Blackberry messages, go to the "Browser Messages" folder, and check it there, but there are no unread notifications - but the notification is still there. I've already tried turning it off and turning it on again. 
    Any suggestions?

  • Pop up message that won't go away

    After downloading an automatic update for Microsoft Office for Mac, I lost all internet access. After 1.5 hrs with Comcast. Linxsys (my router), Microsoft, India and points closer to home, everyone said--not their fault or maybe it was the router, so...I disconnected the router (only 1 computer in the house), and connected the modem directly into the iMac. (This is between the basement (modem) and 1st floor office (computer).
    I seem to have a working Ethernet...I closed the AirPort, no bluetooth except the wireless mouse and keyboard. I keep getting an error box on my screen: "Internet Connect-Could not open the communication device." I click OK and it goes away--and..then it reappears when I click on an internet link. I definitely HAVE internet access, but the error message box keeps coming back, like Freddy.
    Please help me make it go away.

    Have you tried force quitting the Finder?
    Go to Apple menu, select Force Quit..., Click Finder, press Relaunch button
    That should clear it...

  • Network Preferences pop-up window that won't go away

    When I click on System Preferences and then Network, I get an error message box that reads: "Your network settings have been changed by another application." When I click "OK" it keeps reappearing, and I cannot click on anything in Network Preferences and to exit I must force quit. Short of reinstalling OSX, is there a way to get rid of this message and have the ability to adjust my network preferences? I asked this question to a very harried employee at a genius bar at an Apple store a few months ago, and they said I would have to backup my computer and then do an erase and install...something that I'm not confident to do and wish to make sure that it is necessary before doing.
    Thanks, Linda

    Go to preferences -> Security, and check the box that says "require a password to unlock each system preferences pane". This should prevent whatever is changing your settings from doing that.

  • There is 3 of the same app on my dock that won't go away after trying to remove from dock, close app and even delete the app. I can't restart my mac either because it says that the app won't close. Please help!

    The application by the way is a game called Max Payne 3 which I downloaded from Steam by the way.

    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
    Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select the application if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
    Wait.
    Application will quit.
    If this does not help, press the power button for 7 or more seconds.
    Computer will shut down.
    Restart.

  • I have a folder from today that won't let me change its name. I can change the other folders just fine. I do it routinely... any ideas what I screwed up?

    I'm as a loss. I don't understand why today's folder "2014-06-06" won't let me add "_Kim" to the end. I do it will all my folders since I download from a couple of cameras.

    sorry... in PS cc and I closed Photoshop, just in case.... it didn't make 
    any difference and it hasn't ever been an issue before.

  • When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a game that won't go away.  I can't get it off the screen. Suggestions?

    When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away.  I can't get into the app store.

    This happened to me twice lately.  I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked  it up to get rid of it.
    When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.
