Hello and welcome to the forum - I'd agree with Scifan.. - you likely have a 'brick' (please recycle) - but I did a ChatGPT inquiry (attached) which goes into much detail for your situation - since you do not know the passcode to the iPad, a restoration or DFU might be worth a try (details are...

Below is an inquiry from ChatGPT - first, your iPad can do AirPlay with the proper iPadOS which you have on the device. Second, you need a HDTV capable of handling AirPlay (or screen mirroring), and both your iPad and TV must be on the SAME Wi-Fi network. As to Control Center, make sure it is...

Southport - Civil War & Blockade Running On our boat tour, the guide talked a lot about the Civil War and blockade running and the importance of the islands and forts around the mouth of the Cape Fear River with Wilmington just 20+ miles upriver. We saw the Thompson House (shown below) which...

Maritime Museum Southport & Solar Brewing Company Well, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, downtown Southport was completely filled up - a parking place was not available near the museum - now we had been there several times before so not a loss to us, but below the first four pics from the web...

Weather has been perfect so far, low 80s F - mainly a residential island where tourism is the main industry. We're a little aged for most of the 'family' and 'sporting' activities available here - a great place for young families or couples in these rental properties. In the future we likely...

Thanks Johanna - I wanted to delay due to a beach trip on Thursday but was anxious to get my devices upgraded before the trip - SO this afternoon did 2 iPhones, 3 iPads, 2 Apple TVs, and 2 computers - took less than a few hours and all seemed to be working fine - NOW, the issue will be whether...
