How did my girlfriend's ex do this?

My girlfriend was looking through her phone settings today and found that her phone's location was being shared with her ex's iPad, her ex that she dumped two and a half years ago. She'd got a new phone and number since the breakup and has had no contact with him. She knew it was his iPad by looking at it's address/IP address and recognising it.
Since they've had no contact in over two years, neither of us can imagine how he got her number, so we're both pretty freaked out. Any idea how this could have happened? I'm telling her to let Apple know as well in case there's been any weird activity with her account that could provide answers.

Do you need to use a drawing tablet to be professional?

My parents bought me a Wacom Intuos for Christmas last year, and I've tried it a few times since. Each time I hook it up to photoshop and try to draw it looks like an absolute mess compared to my normal quality of art. I normally draw on my iPad because I find it incredibly hard to draw with looking at my hand. My hand eye coordination isn't the best. Every time I see the Wacom now, I feel sick from guilt because I can't use it and, honestly, don't want it, even though my parents invest quite a bit of money into it for me. I feel so bad, but I'm also stressed because I'm planning on studying to become an animator. My question is: do I need to use a tablet like a Wacom to be a professional, or can I keep drawing on touch screens like I always have?

Advice about my weird brother?

He's fifteen and a half. All he does is argue back and never listen.
My mum was yelling at him that he needs to change his ways. The sink in the big bathroom that everyone shares is like a flood everytime he uses it. Spit and snot in the sink without being washed away. And wastes a lot of water doing it. The area around the sink has water splattered everywhere.
My mother was telling him to clean up and stop brushing his teeth the way he does. Because the water is going down to the cabinet and taking away the paint and making it slowly peel and show wood.
We want to look like clean civilised people with a nice clean polished house. Like rich people you know. But no he's making the house look so lower class. But I don't know what this boy is thinking. He starts yelling back at my mum and not listening or caring. All he does it talk back to our parents and continue.
There are dark scratches on the floor downstairs from him moving around on the dinner table chair whilst looking at his iPad. And doesn't care about the damage he's done.
This isn't even the least of the problems. He wastes waster, wastes electricity (the other month left the light on in his room and sometimes downstairs when he goes downstairs in the middle of the night. I don't have a job or help pay for the bills. But I know WERE NOT RICH and parents work hard for money).
Why does he want to waste bills and make our house ugly and never listen to parents?! What can be done

Why can't you be on your cell phone while in an airplane?

Yesterday, my dad was flying from Chicago to China. When he talked to us this morning, he was saying he had to have it off the entire flight. I have also heard laptops, ipads etc must be kept off. Why is this?
Added (1). Also, do they switch pilots out? I can't imagine driving 16 hours straight without getting a chance to sleep for awhile or get up to walk around a little

When someone won't admit they need mental

My sister has had this pain her back for over a year but I think it's tied in with anxiety because we recently lost our dad and she's convinced it's the same cancer he had

She won't eat certain foods and is painfully thin because she says certain foods trigger the pain.

She's taken up smoking for the first time which is complety out of character.

She's seen numerous doctors, had numerous tests and they've all said nothing is showing up. One dr thought it was caused by anxiety n depression and gave her pills immediately which she stopped taking.

She keeps saying she doesn't know how much longer she can carry on in such pain with no one helping her. She says if she could click her fingers she'd be dead. I feel so much pressure on my shoulders, it's breaking my heart.

As soon as I suggest she deal with the mental side of the pain she gets fuming angry with me and says it's physical and she's been in pain every night.

Last night we had a row and she was slamming the door until it broke and chucked the iPad into the tv smashing it. I was terrified.

I know she has physical pain but I fear it's tied with mental. She won't under any circumstances get help for her mental health.

Every day she says she hopes someone puts her out of her misery and no one should suffer like this, that if she killed herself it would be the logical thing to do.

Certain things thrigger her off and her mood drags me down. I'm wth her the most and I just can't cope anymore. I feel all alone
Added (1). Every night I go to bed wondering whether I'll wake up to find she's taken her own life

How can I get into my IPad?

I haven't used the IPad for some time, and now I forgot the passcode. It's also on airplane mode, and I can't change it unless I get inside. I've tried to factory reset it, but couldn't do it, since I had to be in the IPad. I tried to use ITunes, but that didn't work either. How do I remove the passcode, or just get into the IPad? Should I go to the closest Apple? Thanks…
