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 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.
Cheers, Tom

I changed my computer (old Dell is dead!) and now when I want to sync the contents of my iPod onto my new computer (a Sony Vaio), it tells me I can only sync with one computer (i.e. the one that died!) How do I get around this??
-Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
Copy music
- Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music. -

I have an iMac OS 10.9.5 - Every time I turn on my system I get the message that it can not access icloud and to fix it using iCloud preferences. I do not want to access or use iCloud, how do I get the message to discontinue?
Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

New iPad Air won't sync with iTunes on Windows 8
Hello,
I have an iPad Air that will not sync with iTunes. That same machine however syncs with my original iPad and iPad 2 with no issues.
Only thing that happens when I connect the iPad Air to the PC is a tile/window pops up like it is looking for photos on the USB device?
I have tried disabling, uninstalling/reinstalling, updating the driver, all with no success. I even factory reset the iPad Air and didn't change the outcome.
I can tell you that the iPad Air is running the latest firmware, my iTunes is the latest version, and Windows 8.1 is up to date, as well as both other iDevices syncing error free.
Any insight anyone could provide on what I could be missing would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.Hello jennebb,
The following article can help get iTunes and your new iPad Air working together.

New iPad air 2, numbers not compatible with iphone
I have just upgraded my iPad first generation to a new iPad Air.2. I have a problem with numbers spreadsheets which I access using my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. The iPhone is a 3GS with ios6 and the latest version of Numbers it will load is version 2. The new iPad air comes loaded with Numbers version 3.
If I amend a spreadsheet with the iPad then I cannot open it with the iPhone. I have been on apple chat and they say I cannot downgrade the numbers app to version 2 on the iPad. Only solution they can come up with is to buy a later iPhone.
my question is
Apple say that numbers version 2 cannot be put on the iPad air. Does anyone know if there is a way of putting an old version of Numbers or iWork's on a new iPad.
any help would be appreciatedI have tried using the free app iSpreadsheet. It loaded Ok on iPhone 3gs and new iPad and appeared to sync via iCloud but I did not fully check this. The main problem is that the spreadsheet is limited to 50 rows so is no good for me.
Work around I am going with is to upload spreadsheet from new iPad to Dropbox in exel format. Then download from dropbox to Adobe reader on iPhon. I have found that Adobe reader is quicker reading the exel format file than converting it to PDFs. Seems odd that a pdf reader is better at reading xls files than pdf files but there you go.
i have not mentioned in the above but I have a Mac with numbers version 2 also linked to iCloud. This cannot be upgraded to numbers version 3 without an upgrade to the operating system. I also have excel on the Mac so I am going to look at putting the free exel app on the new iPad so that at least I can sync it with the Mac.
the annoying thing about this is that -

"Mail" can't remember password for cloud mail
In preparation for the iCloud move on July 1, 2012, I updated to latest version of OS X 10.7, and had everything working. As of July 1 I get:
Enter Password for Account "MobileMe"
The iCloud IMAP server "p99-imap.mail.me.com" rejected the password for user myusername
Enter your password again or cancel
This box comes up for every incoming message to my mac.com/me.com address. I have entered my password, and told it to remember the password in the keychain, repeatedly, but the dialog box keeps coming up. My password was just changed and meets or exceeds Apple security rrequirements.
I can access my mail by using a browser through icloud.com. The Mail program on my iMac can reach all my non-cloud mail without trouble.
My first thought was that I need to direct my mail program to another server, but I can't find any reference to such a change being needed or an address for such a new server. I get way too much mail on that account to make entering my password for every message practical.
To make it more confusing, my wife's iMac is getting her mac.com/me.com messages without any trouble, and they seem to be set up identically.
Does anyone have ideas as to how I can adapt to whatever changed on July 1?p99-imap.mail.me.com
Hmmm, Apple does oen that, but I use imap.mail.me.com
Do you have an old MobileMe server or 2 still in Mail?
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

Can't paste password for new encrypted disk image.
Howdy all!
I have been trying to create an encrypted disk image with the Disk Utility, but I'm having trouble with putting in the password.
Using the password assistant, it only fills one of the two password fields, and I cannot copy/paste the password to the other field. If I generate a password elsewhere I cannot paste it into either box as well.
If I switch applications from Disk Utility and come back to the password dialog the menubar says I am still in whatever application I was last (in this case it says Firefox at the very left) and the Edit menu is completely grayed out.
Any idea how to get a non-typeable password into this dialog?
Thanks for your help.
MikeYou can paste it in if you use hdiutil to create or mount the disk image (In Terminal.app). That's the
only way to go if you use a "bullet proof monster" password like I do.
To create an encrypted, sparse disk image, open a Terminal window and cd to the directory in which
you want to create the image file. For example:
cd ~/Desktop
Then type the command:
hdiutil create -size thesize -encryption -type SPARSE -fs HFS+ thename
live command example:
hdiutil create -size 1g -encryption -type SPARSE -fs HFS+ myimage
(this will create a 1gigabyte sparse image with the hfs format with the name "myimage.sparseimage"
#note: I love sparseimages and sparsebundles because they mount so quickly#
Above, the size is the maximum size that the volume will ever be able to contain, for example,
660m for 660 megabytes or 1g for one gigabyte. Note that if you want the image file to remain
below a certain size (such as the size of a CD) you must allow for approximately 10% overhead.
Also above, thename is the name of the image file you want to create, not the volume name.
The volume name will be "untitled". Rename as you would any other mounted volume (after it is
mounted).
You will be asked for a password or phase to secure your file. In terminal you may copy and paste
or use command + V keyboard combo. It will mount normally after that.
I don't use the "Remember password (add to Keychain)" function because my passphrase will be
visible in the Keychain to anyone with physical access to your computer.
Instead I use Terminal to open my new image.
Open terminal.app, simply type:
hdiutil attach /path/to/imagefile
example:
hdiutil attach /Users/kj/Desktop/myimage.sparseimage
(remember, you can drag and drop the file path into the terminal from Finder)
Terminal will ask for your password, simply cut and paste from your favorite password program
(such as "1Password").
There is a manual page available; type man hdiutil in the Terminal.
Enjoy,
Kj
