I disabled my ipad how do i restore it

I disabled my Ipad how do I restore it like new?

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.

    It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
    When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

  • Hi, I forgot the password of wifi in my ipad, how can I restore it? thanks ana

    Hi, I forgot the passoword of wifi in my ipad, how can I restore it ? thanks Ana Laura

    Your wireless network password is stored in your router. It is not intended to be easily recovered, only reset and subsequently reconfigured by whomever set up your router.
    If you have a Mac that you usually use on that network, it is stored in the Mac's Keychain. I can show you how to retrieve it, using that Mac.

  • HT1911 after purchase fraud my apple ID was disabled from iphone, how do i restore

    After an unauthorized purchase on itunes was resolved (through paypal) and my phone was updated (3g) my appleID was disabled on my iphone. I can get it on my mac which makes me think it's something wrong with my phone. I believe this all happened when I had to connect with itunes for updates for my iphone to work properly.(it froze, telling me to hookup to itunes). I've changed my password due to the unauthorized purchases, but the confusing part is ....Mac works with ID but phone doesn't. Any ideas on how to restore without going to apple support & paying....this is ridiculous! You'd think simple solution....frustrated with apple completely! They make things way to difficult!

  • I got a replacement ipad. how do I restore it from a previous backup on icloud?

    I am trying to restore a previous backup on icloud from a previous ipad2 (that got dropped and shattered). How do I do this? It is not letting me select the backup to restore. I had to upgrade the iOS from 6.0 to 6.1.3. Any help is appreciated.

    Are you sure you have a backup in icloud? It wont let you select one until after the restore has been started.
    Once you go though the setup process during the restore, it will prompt you for your apple id, it has to be the same one that's assciated with the icloud backup.

    MY You Tube application has ceased to be shown on my ipad, what can I do to restore it, together with my favorites ?

    YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
    However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users  like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

  • My ID has been disabled,why ? how do i restore

    my ipod touch 4th gen comes up with id has been disabled,only had it a couple of days what does it mean & how do you fix the problem.

    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.

  • How do I restore apps to multiple devices?

    I will be giving iPads to my children for Christmas. How do I restore the saved data for each game/app to a specific device?
    Here's my scenario. My wife and I each have an iPad on the same iTunes account. My children play the same game, but to preserve each other's progression, my son plays this game only on one iPad while my daughter plays it on the other.
    When I setup the new iPads, how do I restore my son's saved data to his iPad and my daughter's data to hers?
    Both children use each iPad so a full restore doesn't help.
    Can I pick-and-choose what saved data from what app goes to which new iPad?

    Thanks for clarifying that the situation is more complex than described in your original post.
    No, you cannot pick and choose with standard restore procedures.
    There are some PC/Mac programs that allow recovering certain things from backup files. Whether these can restore arbitrary app data I do not know. I suspect not but you can investigate further.
    For example:

    Hello, I can't scan out my lost data from iPad directly, doesn't it means that I only can recover my lost data from backup?

    HHi,my little Grandson somehow deleted my gardens of time game from my iPad how can I restore it as I have spent lots of money on this .

    Any app can be re-downloaded for free from the App Store - however, depending on the specific game, you may not be able to recover your game progress other than from a backup.
