IPad locked for good. Help?

I forgot my passcode on iPad, and typed the wrong passcode so many times, that it got locked and it says ''iPad is out of use. Connect to iTunes'' and it won't let me go anywhere from there, and i can't find help to it anywhere. Can i somehow fully reset the iPad, so it's as new?

You have no choice but to use iTunes on a computer, there is no other way to set it up as new.
You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

    I need help....i typed my passcode wrongly 4-5 times and my ipad got locked, my pc crashed so had to format hard disk. Now i dont have itunes back up and fear of loosing all my data and purchased music...please help

    You can reload your purchased music/apps/video from the cloud. However, you will need to restore your iPad and since you don't have a backup all data and unpurchased content will be lost.

  • IPad locked up- please help

    Received the error "Cannot verify server identity"- WI-FI can't verify the identity of "1.1.1.1"  Would you like to continue anyway?  Options are Cancel, Details, Continue and it won't let me choose any of those options.  Tried pushing home button and power off at same time so that I get the slide to power off but it won't let me do that either.
    Called Apple for help but was told I would need to purchase more help.
    Very disappointed with Apple right now!
    Can anyone help?

    To reset the iPad you have to hold the sleep and home buttons down until the Apple logo appears. You don't use the red slider to shut it off. Try it again. Wait until the Apple logo appears and then you can let go of the buttons.

  • I have my ipad locked and need help to get it working again

    how can I unlock my ipad

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

  • I am having an issue where whenever I am at the document list and do edit, to copy or delete a document the iPad locks up. Happens for both pages and numbers. Also happens on my iPhone, but only once in a while. Help.

    I am having an issue with both Pages and Numbers on my iPad. Whenever I am at the document list page and use "edit" to make a copy of a document or delete it, the iPad locks up. Happens almost every time. Also happens on my iPhone but only once in a while. Thought of completely redoing the iPad, but if it happens on the phone as well, won't help. ???

        Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper. Here's steps to send a direct message: http://vz.to/1b8XnPy We look forward to hearing from you soon.

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.

    My grandsons new Apple refurbed 35g ipad keeps locking up with a black screen amd nothing else. I have reset it many times pressing the home and off buttons together but it keeps locking up. Help,please!

    Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

  • Where did strikethrough go? unable to find strikethrough button on Pages for ipad in version1.5, HELP!

    unable to find strikethrough button S on Pages for ipad in version1.5, HELP!
    look! and what's that dot thing?

    The following query runs for 10 mins on tbl with 1 mill records on sql server 2012 RTM, and for 1.5 min on sql server 2012 build 3128.
    Significant differences in duration are usually due to different plans.  As Olaf suggested, comparing the plans is a good first step.  Assuming the plans are different, I wouldn't be too quick to assume the difference is related to the software
    build.  Different plans are often due to differences in the row count estimates used to generate the plan so make sure the same indexes and statistics exist in the databases and that stats are fully up-to-date.
    What is the purpose of the WHERE clause? It seems to me it will return all rows anyway.
