Do you have a backup? Transfer to new computer if you haven't already. A restore will wipe the contents.

    A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
    JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?

  • HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
    The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
    How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    James5wins, you do not have to restore as new. Restoring from backup does NOT restore the screen-lock passcode.

  • Does the iPhone 4 disable for 24 hours after too many failed attempts at entering the passcode

    Does the iPhone 4 disable for 24 hours after too many failed attempts at entering the passcode

    Oh thank you. Only thing is I have no backup, so i'd prefer to wait if there is a 24 hour lock out... Someone told me they thought there was, and I can't find anything on google to tell me how many attempts you get and how long you get locked out for each time. A friend made me a new passcode when under the influence and now after thinking about it remembers what he changed it to

  • My Iphone is disabled because of too many attempts at unlocking in with incorrect passcode.  I know the code and do not want to "restore" phone.  How can I fix this

    My Iphone 4 is disabled as a result of someone making too many attempts at guessing my passcode.  I know my passcode and do NOT want to "restore" my phone.  Is there a way for me to use  my passcode to unlock it once it has been disabled?

    Its frustrating because all of the help assumes you have forgotten your passcode, or that you can get in to your phone to get the ID number. 

  • My iPad is disabled after entering many wrong passcodes by my kid, and is asking me now to connect to iTunes to get enabled again (unlocked), however when I connect to iTunes, it asks me to first unlock the iPad? what is the solution

    You need to place the device in recovery mode ...
    f you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.

    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 Ipad went into disable mode after my grandchild entered the wrong passcode several times.  I have never synced this IPad, and I have so many photos on the Ipad that I do not want to lose.  I have the correct password, is there anyway to enable the IPad

    My Ipad went into disable mode after my grandchild entered the wrong passcode several times.  I have the correct passcode, but I have never synced the IPad.  It says Connect to Itunes Diable Ipad.  I have many pictures I do not want to lose and I have never backed up.  Is there a way to open the Ipad without losing all of my pictures or data.

    You should be able to recover any pictures you have taken on your iPad (in Camera Roll), but not application data etc, by connecting, via USB not wifi , to your computer.
    If you are using a mac, connect your iPad, if iTunes automatically launches close it, run iPhoto and wait till your iPad is shown under Devices, you can then import all or selected photos.
    If you are using Windows, again connect and close iTunes if it starts. Then browse the device using explorer, your photos will be shown on the device in My Computer held in a folders under DCIM (or something similar), you can copy and paste them into which ever folder you want on the PC.
    The rest I'm afraid is gone unless you can remember the passcode, sorry.
    Hope all goes well.
    Cheers
