‘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.

IPhone 3Gs is disabled and asks for Passcode
Hi there,
my iPhone 3GS is disabled after keying in a wrong Code for several times. It was disabled firstly for 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15, one hour and so on.
I have solved the problem with the SIM card by keying in the PUK and everything should be fine but the iPhone is still asking for the Passcode.
Could anybody help me here what kind of pascode it is asking for?
I honestly have no clue.
Thanks a Million in advance and best regards

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?
You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly. -

Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software. -

Updated to ios7, now it is asking for passcode?
I just updated my ipad to ios7. Now it is asking me for a passcode. I have never used a passcode - there is not passcode; so I cannot get into my ipad at all. I cannot find any way around this and I can't even access apple customer support because it keeps asking for the serial number, which I can't get to because I can't get into my ipad! Please help!
No it doesn't say "skip this." It seems to be locked and wants a "restrictions" passcode which I have never set up and keeps asking for the passcode. I have no idea what I am doing and I cannot get my locations unlocked at all...

IPhone 6 keeps restarting and asking for activation ... PLEASE HELP!! Very annoyed
Hi,
i have an iPhone 6 64GB just less than 2 months old , the phone keeps restarting for no reason and also keeps asking me to activate phone and I can't do it over cellular which is very annoying if I dont have wifi around !
I have tried restarting the phone , I also tried erasing everything , and reinstalling apps And backing up aswel.
I Have the new iOS 8.2 ... This happened once few weeks back but it keeps happening 2-3 times a day now.
any idea ???? Please help
Message was edited by: AlishajaieTake it to an Apple store and they will diagnose the hardware, and replace it if it is failing (which is likely).
You can try restoring it using iTunes, set it up as New. If the problem exists before your restore your backup then it is almost certainly hardware. -
Iphone is disabled and asking for passcode.
My sister-in-law received a new iPhone 3GS from a co-worker who already had one. She gave it to me. It has never been activated or anything. The message on the screen says, "iPhone is disabled. Try again in 22,168,144 minutes".... WHAT? It will only make emergency calls. I only wanted it for my kid to use it as an iPod, and to transfer Aps from my iTunes that I use for my own iPhone 4G. Is there any way to gain access, without having AT&T set it up as a phone?
