Ipad displays “ipad is disabled connect to itunes”, I have tried putting the ipad into recovery mode and then restoring but that does not work. I have also tried doing a hard reset of the ipad and that does not work either. Any ideas?
My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

‘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 canceling 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.

My two year son was playing with the ipad and must have input the wrong passcode too many times. As a result, the ipad was disabled with further message to connect to itunes. I cannot remember if the ipad was synced with my laptop from the outset. Can you please assist with which way to go about in order to enable the ipad as it is not even allowing me to input the passcode hence l cannot access the ipad so far.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IPod 5th gen is disabled - connect to iTunes. Have tried ALL listed solutions
But nothing is working. Have tried holding down the home and on/off buttons together until it restarts. Have tried turning off then connecting to iTunes whilst holding down home button until the iTunes icon appears, I selected restore in iTunes and eventually the message came up again "iTunes cannot connect to the iPod touch because it is locked with a pass code. You must enter your pass code on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes". So it tries to restore but still comes up with same message. iPod is only a few months old - was about to toss it in the garbage then thought this site may help. Have tried all support suggestions on this site many times, very carefully following instructions... Any help is much appreciated by me and my 8yr old son!!
Recovery mode is sometimes hard to enter. Only if iTunes says "iPod in recovery mode detected" your device is in recovery mode and can be restored. During this process you should be able to set up a new passcode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
Try DFU mode to restore, if recovery mode does not work, explained in this thread by paulcb -
My iPod touchis displaying iPod is disabled connect to iTunes
my iPod touch is displaying iPod disabled connect to iTunes i have tried this but it wont let me acess this any suggestions please?
If it's showing the red disabled screen, then in order to allow your computer's iTunes to reset it you may need to put it into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/resync your content to it
If you are doing it via a computer that it isn't normally synced to then (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) :
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. -
My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!
& it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!! -
I have updated my iPhone tithe new software and my phone is now saying connect to iTunes I have tried to do this but iTunes is saying I need to restore my phone help! My phone will now not turn on and only shows connect to itunes
Then connect it to iTunes. Hope you backed it up, because the restore will wipe your phone.

My iPod says disabled connect to iTunes. So I did and i restored it twice but it didn't work either times. What do i do now?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Did all steps of the restore complete without error? I doubt it. -
