My iPad is locked and says it needs to be backed up

My iPad is locked and says that it needs to be backed up. My home is wi-fi hotspot, so the iPad is constantly connected. I am having problems getting to merely turn-off. Was there a software change recently?

Reboot 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.

My ipad is locked as i forgot the pincode when i plug it into either of my laptops my laptop doesnt recognise it and says it is locked by code and needs to be unlocked but the ipad says it needs to be restored and connected to itunes

I am lost and not sure what to do now. I locked my ipad which tells me to connect to to itunes. When I connect to either of my laptops it tells me that my ipad is locked and needs to have the code unlocked yet the ipad says to to go itunes as it is disabled. My laptops do not recognise my ipad. What do I do now ?

1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Then connect your iPad to your computer and use iTunes to restore.

How do I know if my iPad is locked to a carrier . We had a three sim in it but want to sell without the sim and have been asked if it is locked to a carrier.

How do I know if my iPad is locked to a carrier. I bought it from apple and bought a three sim. I've taken it out and I'm selling iPad cause I have new ipad2. Does this mean the old one is locked to three network or will any micro sim work .

Thanks for reply. I bought it from apple store and bought sim off them just as pay as you go, not on a pay monthly plan. Haven't used it since it ran out, only use wi fi but because I'm selling the old one somebody has asked if its locked, I just thought somebody might be able to tell me but thanks anyway.

My iPad frequently locks up, even after updating to iOS 7.1. When it locks up it's nonresponsive to the home button and the only remedy is to force a shut down and reboot. Help!

DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps.

After a backup, clicked on upgrade IOS via Itunes. Upgrade failed and now IPAD is locked, showing a graphic of a cable connector, an arrow and an Itunes symbol. Ipad is locked there. How to restore IPAD?

Upgrade my IPAD from 8.1.3 to 8.2 via Itunes (from Windows Computer)
First I backed up the IPAD via Itunes on my Windows laptop.
Then I click upgrade IOS to 8.2 on Itunes.
Later got a upgrade failure pop up window.
Now IPAD is locked with a blank screen showing a cable connector and an arrow pointing to Itunes symbol.
The IPAD does not boot, and the Itunes does not recognize the IPAD.
turning on/off the IPAD does not change the display.
How to restore or reboot the IPAD?

I rebooted the computer and tried once again using a different USP port. This did the trick!. I was able to run the IOS update and it stuck and timed out while the Itunes was indicating that it was verifying the IOS installation (on ipad I could see a grayed working bar). After it timed out the IPAD completed the task, and now it is working again.
Thanks!

HT1766 A message popup tells me that my ipad has not backed up in two weeks. Now my ipad is locked and I cannot cancel the message, turn it off or slide to unlock. What do i do?

I have a pop up message on my IPad that says it has not backed up in two weeks and now my ipad is locked and I cannot use it. I connected it to electricity, it is already on Wifi, and locked it with the button on top. But the message has not gone away. I cannot turn it off or remove the message or or slide to unlock. What can I do?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

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.

My iPad has locked so the screen doesn't rotate!? How do I un lock it?

My iPad has locked so the screen doesn't rotate!? How do I un lock it?

when you flipped the switch did the roation icon appear in the middle of the screen for a moment?
one thing you can also try is...
Try doing a hard reboot
1. hold the power and home buttons down
2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Let the iDevice boot... should only take a couple minutes.

Did you try resetting the iPad as described above ... A little more detail ... Hold the sleep button and home button down at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My ipad is locked and i have to connect it to itunes

my ipad is locked and i have to connect it to itunes but now itunes wont accept it unless i unlock the ipad but i can't, what do i do?

I have no clue what you're talking about. Perhaps you can rephrase with correct spelling and real sentences that include initial caps and periods and other grammatical niceties.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

My Ipad is locked and it tells me to go to Itunes why

I have enter a password by mistake when I was making a change in the settings and then to compound my mistake I entered the password to many time and now my Ipad is locked and at the top of the screen on my ipad it says to connect Itunes. I don't know why therefore I don't know what to do ....can you help to bring my ipad back to life. thank you sonja

The connect to iTunes message it appearing because you've entered the code incorrectly too many times, it's a security feature. You will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
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.
