ipad_air_icloud_restore_hero
Many people are selling and giving away (to family members) their first generation iPads after purchasing the iPad 2. In this case you may want to erase the all data on it and set it up as a new device.
There are two ways to erase all the data on your iPad.

Restore and set up as new in iTunes
    1. Launch iTunes and connect your iPad.
    2. Select the iPad on the left under “Devices”.
    3. In the Summary tab, click “Restore”.
    4. Wait until iTunes has completed the restore process, when iTunes provides the Set Up Your iPad screen, choose “Set Up As a New iPad” (setting up your iPad as new will overwrite the current backup).

  1. When the restore is complete disconnect the device.
  2. Turn on the iPad and verify it is back to factory condition (all your content and settings are gone).
Erase all content and settings from the iPad
If you don’t have access to iTunes, you can completely erase your all your data from the iPad.
    1. Tap Settings.
    2. Tap General.
    3. Tap Reset.
    4. Tap Erase All Content and Settings.

  1. Turn on the iPad and verify all the content and settings were erased.
On most iPads, this process takes less than a minute but could take longer depending on the storage capacity of your device and the amount of content. Make sure you battery is not low or connect the power before you begin.

How to Make uTorrent Faster

Edited by Maluniu, Jordan, Krystle, Lojjik Braughler and 26 others
After scouring the internet, you have found the torrent file for that awesome thing that you want but is ridiculously expensive. You download the torrent and load it into uTorrent. The anticipation is killing you. Four hours later, it’s sitting at 30% and you’re bored out of your skull. If this sounds familiar, you may be wondering how to improve your torrent download speeds. Follow this guide to find out how.

Method 1 of 6: How many seeders are there?

    1
    Check the number of seeders for the torrent file. Seeders are those who continue to share the file after it has been downloaded. The more the seeders there are the faster the download will be.
    • If you can, try to download from a tracker with a lot of seeders for the file that you want. If you can connect to enough seeders, you can easily max out your connection speed.

Method 2 of 6: Have you turned off all other programs?

    1
    Make sure no other programs that use internet connection are running. If the internet connection is solely dedicated to your download then the download will finish faster. Make sure to close YouTube and other download managers. Also check that your computer is not downloading any automatic update while you are downloading files through uTorrent.

Method 3 of 6: Is your Wi-Fi interfering?

    1
    Try connecting the computer directly to the modem or router instead of using WIFI. A lot of signals in the house could interfere with WIFI connection, thus affecting internet speed and uTorrent downloads.

Method 4 of 6: Are you pushing the limits already?

  1. Make uTorrent Faster Step 4 Version 2.jpg
    1
    Check the queue settings of uTorrent. Each file that you are downloading in uTorrent will take up a portion of your bandwidth. When more than one file is downloading at max speed, the files will take a longer time to finish. Try downloading the files one by one. Watch the first movie while you wait for the second one to finish downloading!

    Click Options and then click Preferences.
  3. Make uTorrent Faster Step 4Bullet2.jpg
    3
    Click Queuing on the left side and set the maximum number of active downloads to 1.
  4. Make uTorrent Faster Step 4Bullet3.jpg
    4
    Click Apply and click OK
  5. Make uTorrent Faster Step 5 Version 2.jpg
    5
    Enable UPnP port mapping. This will allow uTorrent to bypass your firewall and connect directly to the seeders. This will ensure that you are getting the best possible transfer rate for your file. To enable UPnP:
  6. 6
    Click Options and select Preferences.
  7. 7
    Click the Connection option in the left menu.
  8. 8
    Check the box to enable UPnP port mapping.
  9. 9
    Click Apply and click OK.

Method 5 of 6: Is your version up-to-date?

  1. Make uTorrent Faster Step 6 Version 2.jpg
    1
    Make sure to have the latest version of uTorrent. Check regularly for updates. You can check by clicking Help and then selecting "Check For Updates".
  2. Make uTorrent Faster Step 7 Version 2.jpg
    2
    Subscribe to a higher Internet speed plan. Depending on your area, you may be able to upgrade the speed of your internet service. This will cost you more money per month, though you may be able to get a good deal by switching providers.
  3. 3
    Add more trackers. This can lead to a superb speed if the tracker has more seeds.

Method 6 of 6: Have your considered changing the download speed?

  1. 1
    Double click on the download. A menu will pop up. On the menu it will say "maximum download speed" (or something similar). For example, it will say something like 0.2 KB/s.
  2. 2
    Change the number. Change it to 9999999999999999999999 or another high number.
  3. 3
    Click OK.
  4. 4
    Watch how the download speed goes up to at least 500 Kb/s. It takes a while for it to reach 500. It may be a little faster than before.
