Last known fix for Find my iPad? How is this not an included option for devices that are currently turned off.  Absolute no brainer.  Thief steals the iPad and turns it offline, or user loses it while it has low battery, lost forever.  Brilliant.

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

  • How do I do "Find My iPad must be turned off-" when I cannot get past the iPad "Enter Passcode"?

    I reset the passcode on the iMac, but I cannot retore the iPad because it wants the passcode entered. It does not recognize the passcode was set on the iMac and instead displays: "Find My iPad must be turned off before "<iPad name>" can be restored. Go to iCloud Settings on your iPad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad." I'm chasing my tail with this because I cannot get on the iPad iCloud Settings to turn off Find My iPad. I'm running iOS 7.1 and the iPad is backed up and synced to the iMac. What can I do?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

    Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

  • Air Help not a valid option for some projects?

    RH9, multiple projects that are currently deployed as merged webhelp.
    I opened the project we use as the 'parent' project and was able to change the output to Air, no problem. But when I try to open the other projects that we use as 'child' projects, it doesn't allow us to select Air. The option doesn't even display in the output drop-down.
    Is there a setting we need to change? My understanding was that Air can do merged help projects and does them in the same manner as our existing format, Webhelp.

    You are talking about browser based AIR help and you are saying that in RoboHelp 9 you are not seeing AIR as an option to create the layout?

  • How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server?  Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

    How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server?  Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

    Yes it will work.  I've done it for a few users in my small office.  As with anything, there are quirks that you may or may not experience.  Most quirks are app-related, due to app developers hard-coding absolute paths into their apps for things like temp files (Photoshop).  Strategies for resolving these sorts of quirks can be found via google.  You would probably have seen these quirks already when using server-based home folders for your kids.  If you haven't noticed them, then you're probably fine.
    The tech note you cited should be fine.  It doesn't explicitly say so, but you'll need to enable ssh on your server, at least temporarily, so you can upload your home folder to the server using scp, rsync, etc.  Don't try to copy the files up to the server via Finder.
    Once all your files are transferred to the server and in the right place, make sure to chown them on the server, so they are owned by the userID you created for yourself on the server.
    As with anything this involved, make a good backup of your laptop first.
    Note I have one user that isn't too happy with the responsiveness of the periodic mobile home syncing.  She has about a decade of e-mail in her home folder, probably 50 to 100 emails per day, many with attachments.  Mobile home syncing takes a long time to check and sync this huge tree of itty-bitty files, eevn with server-side file tracking turned on.  The other users are happy.
    The nice thing about mobile home syncing is that when a user "graduates" to an age where they've earned their own laptop, you can change them from a server home user to a mobile home user, with a minimum of fuss.  Also, if you lose or break a laptop, you can add a new replacement laptop to your network, and pull-down a replica of the home folder from the server, with almost no downtime.

  • I have an Ipad 2 and here is what I am trying to accomplish.  On my laptop I connect to a remote desktop connection to access a shared program we use for reporting.  How do I set up my Ipad to access this remote server?  Thanks for the help.

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

  • I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • 3g phone ringer all the way up but very faint, all sounds are very faint or none at all.  Even the click when turning off is bearly audible.  Is there a fix for this?

    My phone volume has almost disappeared.  Screen clicks, ringer all of it is bearly audible, sometimes not at all.  Everything is on, ringer volume turned all the way up.  Is there a fix for this on the iphone 3G?

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • TS3899 Mail on my iPad 2 suddenly will not download my inbox for one account.

    Mail on my iPad 2, iOS 8.3 suddenly will not download my inbox. I have two other accounts on the same provider (AT&T - Yahoo) with the same settings that work fine. The account will send mail OK. Sometimes it will return an error message "cannot connect to server" after a long time of the spinning wheel. It was doing this just prior to updating iOS 8.3 and still the same after updating.
    If I delete the account and re-add it, will I lose all my mail folders, the emails saved in them, contacts, calendar, etc.?
    Will a restore recover them at that point?
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    If you delete the account off the iPad you won't delete the info permanently, although you will delete it off your device. If you delete it off your iPad the data will come back when you re-add it.

  • My computer won't turn off.  It says iPhoto is doing something and iPhoto is doing nothing, the circle has been spinning for 45 minutes.

    My computer won't turn off.  It says iPhoto is doing something and iPhoto is doing nothing, the circle has been spinning for 45 minutes.

    Try that. If that doesn't help:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT201412 My ipad does not turn off...i tried pressing the Sleep/Wake button and Home button for 10 secs but no response. Also, the screen is not rotating on portrait or landscape view...any suggestions?

    My ipad does not turn off...i tried pressing the slep/wake button and home button for more than 10 secs but nothing hapened. Also, the screen is not rotating on portrait and landscape views...

    While this could potentially be a hardwar issue:
    Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
    If the reset doesn't work, you may need to consider restoring the iPad to factory settings

    Do Not Disturb and Notifications
    Push notifications appear in Notification Center and alert you to new information, even when the
    associated app isn’t running. Notifications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and
    a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen.
    Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. When it’s turned on and
    iPhone is locked, all notifications and calls are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the
    following options in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb:
    • Automatically turn on Do Not Disturb: Set the starting and ending hours for when you don’t
    want to be disturbed. iPhone turns on Do Not Disturb during these hours each day.
    • Allow some phone calls during Do Not Disturb: When Do Not Disturb is on, calls are silently sent
    to voice mail. To allow some callers to ring through, tap Allow Calls From. You can allow calls
    from your Favorites list or other Contacts groups you define. For information about Favorites,
    see Chapter 25, Contacts, on page 100.
    • Allow persistant callers to ring through: Turn on Repeated Calls. If the same caller (based on
    their Caller ID) calls you twice within three minutes, iPhone will ring.
    Turn an app’s notifications on or off: Go to Settings > Notifications. Tap an item in the list, then
    turn notifications on or off for that item. Apps that have notifications turned off appear in the Not in Notification centre
