Forgetten Passcode for Ipad mini,  How do I reset the passcode?
Thx

You can't just reset the passcode.  You'll have to restore the device.
Follow the directions in this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that doesn't work, you need to use recovery mode:

Next time write the passcode somewhere safe for future reference.

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    Otherwise read this
    If that doesn’t work  you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:

    Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x.  You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom).  If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID.  Then you should be good to go.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HT4759 attempting to download clo on app to ipad. Step 2 of download process asks for a storage space. Not sure how to respond.

    HHey GB, thanks, this was of great help and should, if you are correct, solve the problem quickly.
    if I am unable to buy 'Hanna' then I am better to use the money (and that for the apparently totally useless iCloud storage!) on my much-needed medications (I am on Disability) OxyContin and Heroin Hydrochloride tablets From my UK pharmacy. Oh, and Gador Alplax bars from Argentina (we only get Xanax brand here and it is the most expensive in the world, and can only be bought in tiny 0.5mg dose meaning I need twelve tablets daily rather than only THREE of the 2mg Alplax 'bars').
    my entertainment via my new iPad is my only real way of forgetting about the pain and anxiety problems I suffer.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING SO QUICKLY!

  • Just got home with my ipad and its asking for a passcode which i haven't set.....any ideas please???

    just got home with my new ipad and its asking for a passcode to let me in - haven't set one up, wasn't told about this in store, any ideas please???? Have tried my apple password & my passcode i use with my i-phone but none works.

    Was this a used iPad? Try going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will completely restore the iPad to brand new. It will erase all content, but since the iPad is brand new and you haven't made any changes to it, there is no content that will be erased. Except the passcode, of course

  • Lost music I added to iTunes when I did current update. It is on my iPad, but do not know how to get it onto new Mac.

    This is the second time I have updated to a newer version of Itunes and when complete the only music i have access to is the purchased music.I loaded several hundred songs to my former computer. It got wet and I lost entire hard drive, nothing was recoverable. Fortunately i have all music and pictures on my IPad, do not know how to get music I did not purchase from Itunes  onto Itunes on my new Mac. This is my second MAc in less than 3 years due to my accident.

    You only get one download of rentals (in the US you can re-download some films, but I'm not sure whether that applies to rentals). If the film is on yoru computer's iTunes, then connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes under 'Devices', and the use the Films/Movies tab on the right-hand side to sync the film to the iPad.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.

  • My iPad mini ran out of battery when installing an app and now the app has gone?

    I updated Quiz Up today while my iPad mini had 2% battery left! and I thought this would be enough but just as the update was installing my iPad ran out of battery so I immediately put it on charge! when my iPad turned on the app was still there but was darker and said 'waiting' underneath, so I then went to the App Store to continue to update but when I went to the updates section the update was gone, I them we to back to the apps location and the app had gone, so I went to reinstall it but it only said open next to it, and when I press this it does nothing, I would like the app back but I don't know how to get it back, any suggestions? I thought the all might be corrupt but I can't delete it and reinstall it because the icon has gone and it doesn't show up in spotlight, so what do it do?

    Maybe:

    Otherwise try downloaing on computer and sync
    The go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage and tap on the app and try deleting it.

  • HT1212 I updated the software this morning to os7 and it never asked for a passcode, however, to use it now I need a passcode. I do not know what it is, so my phone is now disabled. Solution?

    This morning the phone said new software was available so I downloaded and upgraded my system to os7. During startup it requested an icloud password, but never any other passowrd. So imagine my surprise when I tried to sue the phone and it was disabled because it would not take the icloud passcode. How do I get my phone working again?

  • TS3694 My iPad won't update software saying it can 't connect to the Internet which is not true as you can see from me being able to write this. there is no error code. It just says unable to verify, try again later. Any suggestions?

    My iPad won't update iOS 7.0.4 software saying it is unable to verify because it can 't connect to the Internet and to try again later.  It doesn't display an error message number. Obviously I can connect otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Any suggestions? Many thanks for your help.

    You didn't specify which way you are trying to update - using the Software Update setting on the iPad or by using iTunes. I will assume that you are using iTunes because the kb article that linkd you to here was the one about iTunes error codes.
    Quit iTunes, reset your iPad, restart your computer and try again. Disable your firewall and antivirus software of you are using it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • When I sync my Ipad and Mac I get a message from itunes to allow access with an email address I no longer use and asks for a password I don't know how do I remove the old email

    Whwn I sync my ipad I get a message from itunes to sign into my account but the email used is not my email and I don't have a password for the email it used - how do I get rid of the email address for itunes on the ipad - itunes on the Mac work just fine - but not on the ipad

    Hello Tonchee
    If you are seeing an Apple ID that is not yours, then you have purchased content on your iPad that is tied to that Apple ID. You would need to know that password or remove the content that is associated with that Apple ID.

  • HT1766 Hello, I'm trying to back my Iphone 5 up and it's asking for my passcode which I can't enter into my phone because my screen is smashed? Is there another way around it? I have an appointment with Apple tomorrow and need to back it up ASAP. Thanks.

    Hello, I have a smashed (just front screen, screen works but is green and liney) Iphone 5 that is totally unusable. I'm trying to back my phone up before my appointment with Apple tomorrow but it keeps asking me to unlock my phone which I can not do! Is there another way around this? Really don't want to lose my photos. Thanks.

    There's no way around it other than to back it up using the computer you normally sync with. If you haven't been syncing/backing up on a regular basis, you're hosed.

    Sorry alisha, but you have encountered an Activation Lock, and the only way you can get around it is to have the Previous Owner do the following:
