Excellent explanation and time management. I wish more videos were like this. Please keep up the good work!

Excellent work. Subscribed. Only (public) suggestion, consider reducing the background music by 10-20%. If one is dealing with hearing loss or listening on headphones where we can hear the real world, it is distracting & makes comprehension more difficult.

I’m not ready to sell my devices but when I am I’ll know what to do, thanks to you! Thank you!

Very helpful. Thank you. I had to find another "how to" to learn how to "unsync" my ipad from my iphone first before I could follow these steps. But it worked and I am grateful for the help. Blessings. GmaJo

I have an old iPad Pro 7, I want to erase to factory and use as a "picture Frame" only. I don't want it attached to wifi or any account. I just want to upload pictures with a lightening stick. Is this possible?

Hello,

I usually give to Family member. Thank you for the demo.

Once it’s reset it’s okay to buy from someone like it’s not locked right

[thendday]

Hello. Helpful video. A friend passed away and her executor gave me my friend's iPad. I know the password to open the iPad. When I connect the iPad to my computer, I get the "trust" message but it doesn't stay long enough for me to click on Trust. What's up? What can I do? Thanks for any help.

This was an excellent and easy to understand video on resetting my ipad. I will be giving it to a family member.
