Cannot restore my iPad using Apple Support

I'm setting up a spare iPad3. I was not able to access it, because there is an access code on I don't know. I followed the directions here, even using recovery mode, but I can't always restore my iPad so I can use it. I called Apple for support and was on hold for 15 minutes.

What happens when you turn recovery mode and try to restore it?

  • Cannot restore the system using CD Toshiba

    I have a damaged serial port. It is disconnected/drawn / deleted my BIOS. When you restore from cd win98, starts in safe mode. serial port causes this. If I once more turn it off and start the computer normally, it boots OK BUT then goes in systematically auto display "new hardware found and crashes."
    Issue. How can I start machine but stop windows goes into automatic routine of new material. In my innocense, I guess that windows would not look for material that has been removed from the bios.
    Help. my laptop is unusable on windows at the moment (Linux installs and runs ok), with the exception of serial port.

    Hi Alvey,

    I don't think that it is possible to prevent the new hardware detection during his processing of loading Windows. It is a fundamental part of the design of the system required to support the 'Plug and Play' concept of Windows.

    I think that your only real option is to get your serial port set so that your system starts normally.

  • How to make a comeback at Apple Support communities

    I had a post removed by Apple's Support for this reason:

    We have deleted your message "Why Apple does not allow an iPhone WiFi scanning to do?" because it contained either requests for feedback or functionality of the product.

    The agreement of use Apple Support communities here: Apple Support community use agreement

    Said to the title of point 2. Presentations:

    3. ask questions and constructive comments. Unless otherwise noted, your submission should be a technical support question or a response from technical support. Constructive comments on the characteristics of the product are welcome also.

    So I am confused. It seems that Apple does not follow its own policy. The policy indicates the characteristics of the product information is 'welcome', but my message has been dropped because it discusses the characteristics of the product.

    Who can I speak to this topic?

    Thank you.

    You posted in what is probably the best place.

    But seriously, I'm sure that pulled messages was the fact that you kept asking 'why' Apple does not include the functionality you want. That would put you in breach of

    After installing IOS 9.3 for Ipad3. I can't activate iPad by Apple ID display error meassage «e-mail cannot be used to unlock the iPad»

    If you see the lock of Activation screen after update your iOS device, you want to try the following:

    -Restart your iOS device and try to connect again.

    -Visit appleid.apple.com and log in to ensure that your password is correct.  If you change something here, only to change your password.  Try to connect again on the iPhone.

    -Connect on iTunes on a computer and put your Apple ID and password when it prompts you (as it did on your iOS device).

    -ICloud.com check in the settings.  If you see your iOS device listed, remove account (do not erase or hit lost mode). Restart your device and try to reconfigure.

    -These measures should solve most of the problems.  For someone else, you will need to contact Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE or getsupport.apple.com).

  • Cannot install OS: "this identifier Apple has not yet been used.

    I just got my first Mac yesterday, a mid 2010 Macbook of opportunity. It's in great shape, works great, I was briefly very satisfied with my purchase. Then I tried to reformat/reinstall, as it does whenever purchasing a computer used.

    I followed the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204904 and when I got to the step three, after the failure of the hard drive, it wouldn't let me install the operating system. He wanted to connect first with my Apple ID, so I did an Apple ID, but now it keeps giving me an error "this identifier Apple has not yet been used in the App store" and then it gives me the opportunity to cancel or "review". Click Cancel simply cancels the installation, just by clicking on review also cancels the installation.

    An ID is not necessary, but there is no way I can see to avoid it say the instructions on this page. It was suggested that maybe I could avoid the connection on the way to recovery, rather than recovery of the Internet, but the Cmd + R and Cmd + Option + R give recovery of the Internet. I don't see any way to get to the regular recovery.

    I had a suggestion to install from the disc, but I have not all discs. If I could download it from somewhere and burn them then that would be nice, but the instructions on this page are pretty clearly that it should not be necessary to use disks. I should be able to do without signing in.

    So... what upward with who? Where should I go from here? Is it possible to do a regular recovery? Or bypass the Apple ID thing?

    If your software is up to date, try to reboot your device. If necessary, follow the steps below:

    1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
    3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo
