A reminder about backups so that your iPad can be restored in the event of loss, damage or theft:
It is important that users backup information on their iPads.  A backup will help restore data onto a new iPad in case of loss, damage, or theft.  iCloud provides 5GB and automatically backs up the most important data on your device.  iTunes can also be used for backups.  We find most use iCloud to back up their device.  Click here to determine which method is best for you.  Also, be sure to go to the Settings App and then click iCloud to verify that your backup settings are correct.


Please Note:
If the iPad passcode is entered incorrectly too many times, you will see the “iPad is disabled” message on the screen.  When you see this message, your only option is to wipe the iPad and restore from backup.  This is a security feature designed to keep your data safe in case of theft.  We are finding that external keyboards left on in backpacks are accidentally typing the passcodes over and over until the iPad is disabled.  We recommend that the keboard be turned off when not using the ipad to avoid this situation.  Click here for directions on how to restore your disabled iPad.
