Why this happens:
You typed in your passcode too many times
How to fix it:
Bring your ipad to the iPad office [or the ARC, if the office is unoccupied.] We will have to wipe it, which can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so [depending on what else is happening tech-wise.]
Hopefully you setup your Notability backup to Drive correctly, AND your photos and videos are backing up to Drive as well.
HERE’S HOW to check that your backups are actually happening.
Wed – Fri May 11 – 13, probably in DS1. This is ONLY for those who want to turn in the iPads early, AND do not need them for exams.
Exam week, Mon – Wed May 16-18, DURING SCHOOL HOURS, in the ARC. We will be open for an hour past the end of the last exam each day.
Your teacher will let you know when they know. DO NOT BUG THEM ABOUT IT.
You can save yourself a TON of time by getting your ipad ready in advance.

If you have ever checked your ipad [or iPhone] storage by going to
Settings –> Other –> iPad Storage
you will have seen the space taken up by apps, documents, video, audio, etc. — and then a mysterious “Other”.
The “Other” category can be anything from a system update that has been downloaded but not installed, to web browser caches, logs, Siri voices, Messages, and many other odds and ends.
If your “Other” category has become bloated and taking up too much room on your iPad, here are some tricks to try and reduce it.
1] Do the iPad reboot dance.
2] Clear your Safari caches by going to Settings –> Safari –> Clear History and Website Data
3] Change Messages to save fewer old messages.
Settings –> Messages –> Message History.
Change it from “Forever” to “30 days”.
4] If all else fails, and you don’t have enough room to install the system update – bring it to the ARC. We have other options there to help.
