How do I clean and protect my IPad and windows phone from hackers?

My family members as well as my boyfriends ex have hacked into my mini iPad, my iPad, my windows cell phone as well as my sons LG cell phone. They all have I phones and iPads and a samsung tablet and galexcy 6 they use (I'm not sure if they use all or some devices). They have hacked into the wifi, but on the cell phones they've done something else. I want to remove the hacking they've done and keep protected from them doing it again. How do I do this?

You need to set up encryption on your devices using strong passwords (passwords that combine numbers, letters, and symbols). This will instantly prevent further hacking. The exact procedure for each device you listed is different. After doing that you should install a spyware scanner to remove anything that may have been installed on your devices.

I hope this helps,
--Robert

SOURCE: how do I unlock a locked up ipad?

If you've got a locked up iPad app or otherwise misbehaving iPad, and want to reboot / reset your iPad, simply hold the sleep and home buttons together until the iPad restarts.
You'll see the shutoff slider come up first, but just keep holding. The screen will go blank and the Apple logo will reappear as the iPad reboots.
Note: this does not reset any data on your iPad. This is just a restart, equivalent to rebooting your computer.

SOURCE: My ipad mini keeps shutting off

I would first try doing a hard reset. Hold the home and power button down simultaneously until the iPad completely turns off and the Apple logo appears. You can ignore the slide to turn off button when it appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue I would make an appointment with your local Apple Store and have the device checked out by an Apple Genius.
Hope that helps!

SOURCE: Ipad disabled b/c son forgot his password...help us get in?

If your son cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your iPad using the computer you last synced your iPad with. Using the last computer you synced with allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync all your data, apps, etc.


To begin the process, connect the iPad to your computer using the USB cable or lightning cable. Open iTunes and select the restore option.

If you restore on another computer, you can still unlock the device and remove the passcode, but your data and apps will be wiped.


Hope that helps!

Restore purchased and deleted items to iPad You can redownload items from the App Store, Book Store, and iTunes Store without repurchasing them. If you're part of a Family Sharing group, you can download items purchased by other family members, too. To restore purchases that aren't on your iPad, see the Apple Support article Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books.

How do I do a factory recovery on my mini ipad

iTunes enables you to restore iPad mini to factory settings. Before you start restoring iPad to factory settings, please note that you need to install the latest version of iTunes on your Windows computer or MAC. Then go to Settings > iCloud to turn off Find My iPhone. Now, you can factory reset your iPad with iTunes as follows.

1. Plug iPad into the computer with the USB cable. The iTunes on your computer will automatically launch. If not, double-click the icon to start it.
2. Click the name of your iPad at the upper right corner of iTunes, and then the information of your iPad will be shown. Click the "Restore iPhone" button in the window to start.
3. iTunes will ask whether you want to back up iPad before restoring. You'd better choose "Yes" for the reset will erase the contents in your iPad. Then iTunes will start restoring your tablet to factory settings.

What can you do to fix a disabled ipad2?

If your iPad has become disabled permanently, your only choice will be to reset the iPad in iTunes and restore from a backup. This may seem like punishment, but it is actually for your own protection. If someone stole your iPad and tried to unlock it, the iPad would become permanently disabled, thus keeping the person from getting access to your iPad's data.
How to Restore the iPad From iTunes
Remember to restore the iPad from the same computer you used to sync. If you are using iOS 5.0 and have iCloud set up to backup your iPad, you can also restore from the cloud. Even without restoring from a backup, you can go to the app store and install any app you have previously purchased for free.


Hope this helps a bit.

Other applications won't run says storage full

you may want to check and make sure you didn't run out of space on your iPad. To do so connect your ipad to your computer using the usb cable and open up iTunes. Once connected and open look on the top right side of the itunes window and you should see a "ipad mini" tab. click on that and it should give you all sorts of info about your ipad mini. look on the bottom of that window and see how much/many "GB FREE" yours show. if your ipad mini is full its time to delete some of the apps you don't use. Also import photos to your computer to free up a lot of space on your iPad. In my experience photos, music, and movies take up a lot of space
