Apr 07, 2011 I bought an ipad 1 (16GB Wifi) which was originally a demo model. Now before you say how I got one, here is the answer. I am a staff of that company and got good staff discount on remaining units - so I bought one. But being a demo model, iOS has some limitation like it is not allowing me to delete preloaded apps (which is taking up lots of space).
Resetting iPad to factory settings is likely to solve the problems mentioned above. This post will show you four ways to do a factory reset on iPad (1st/2nd/3rd/4th Generation, iPad Pro/Air/Mini.)
- The original iPad was released on April 3, 2010. It included many of the same features as the iPhone and iPod Touch, including the 3-axis accelerometer that enables the device to detect when it is being moved or tilted. The iPad was powered by the same operating system as the iPhone, allowing it to run the same apps in compatibility mode.
- Sep 30, 2017 If you have forgotten passcode on iPad and can't access the device or the iPad is in recovery mode, you can factory reset the iPad with iTunes. STEP 1: Connect the device to a computer that you previously synced with and start iTunes. STEP 2: Locate your iPad 1/2/3/4, iPad Pro/Air/Mini under 'Devices' on the left panel and click on 'Restore'.
But you should notice that all your iPad data will be erased after a factory reset. Therefore, what we cannot stress enough is to backup your iOS devices.
