I had exactly the same thing happen when I upgraded to IOS 6. When I upgraded to IOS 7 I noticed that after I downloaded it but hadn't installed it yet, it had a link to a place the you could contact because so many people had my problem with IOS 6! And I installed it because it said it had bug fixes for pass code problems. So, I installed it, it didn't fix my problem, went back to find the link and it was gone! If anyone hasn't installed it yet please take note of that link to contact ? Whoever.?
This is where the link you mentioned takes you. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5957

Not much help. How sad. They gave me a # I'm the 60th thousand person next in line - IF they find my problem viable or relevant,,,,:-(
That doesn't mean I am disappointed with the info sci, I still REALLY appreciate that info.....I am sure when the screaming slows down! and a new version comes out my question will become relevant! :)

Can ANYONE tell me how to shut down my open apps with IOS 7 ? We used to double click, then the apps would be in a row at the bottom, you touch them lightly, they jiggle, and then you x them shut! how do I do that now???

Here' sweat I found on Forbes mag. Thru google, hope it helps some one:

iOS 7 has a new way to kill apps.

1. Press the Home button twice so you see your running apps in rectangles on the screen

2. Flick to left or right to bring apps into view

3. Flick any unneeded apps up and away to the top of the screen to close them

Got the same problem as squib, iTunes will not allow restore without the pass code, anybody know the answer to this.

Thank Goodness somebody understands! thank you Ingliside for letting me know someone else understand what I am talking about! It will be so great to know when somebody figures out the glitch too, but I'm afraid we are way down the list for that problem! :D

This is how I can enter a longer password in my iPad. Go to Settings>General>Passcode Lock and enter your existing passcode. You then turn off the simple passcode switch, entering your existing passcode to do so. Now you see a pop up that allows you to enter your longer password. I hope this helps. <img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=48642"/> <img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=48643"/>
See where it says erase all data on this iPad after 10 pass code attempts? It has threatened to do that before I upgraded to IOS 7! Now that I have upgraded it will let me start over but I'm not even going to try because I KNOW what will happen!

I'm fine, thanks. :) You seem to be awake for quite a while, I see. How are you?

Recovery mode should help. Look at this thread: http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-2-forum/114698-i-can-t-do-recovery-mode-ipad.html

Yup! You don't miss a thing, ah those poor children who just want to be unseen for a minute or two, to daydream as they look out the window......or stay awake for 24 -72 hrs and still sound sane, did you see what my keyboard did? It made me say snot instead is not! Reminds of that ditty," when your dancing with your honey, and your nose is kind of runny, don't think it's funny, cause it snot! :D are you worried about me J ? Really, aw that is sweet of you to notice, honest, esp considering you know what happens to me! And that I don't like it. Hey, check out a cool doc. On Netflix called "49". Won't spoil it by telling you all about it, and it might not be available where you are. The USA gets the best Netflix, I hear. The best variety of choices. Thanks for thinking of me Johanna ....I have been cruising for a fix for the pass code mess. Just read where somebody got so frustrated they finally just went for the factory recovery and knowingly LOST ALL DATA! :-( I don't want to do THAT!

If you have a recent backup, you won't lose everything. Your data and settings are stored there.
If you haven't done this already, backup your iPad. Then you don't need to worry when you have to restore it.
