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 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.

    My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

    If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
    The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago.  I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago;  but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
    A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password. 
    I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that.  With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

  • Help...forgot the lock code for N95 8GB?

    I was trying to use my device after a gap of an year.
    However, swithcing on the phone, it asks for lock code. I have never changed it before. I tried factory default code 12345. Tried couple of others like 1234, 0000 etc. None seem to work.
    I also tried switching on the phone after pressing Call, * and '3' and still it is asking for lock code.
    I tried connecting to Nokia PC suite and it doesn't recognise the phone at all, so can't update the software and see if it resets the lock code.
    Can anybody give me any further suggestion please?
    Thanks

  • My daughter set the lock code for my second or first generation ipod and i dont know what numbers she pressed. The ipod was loaded on a pc in Texas, and i'm currently in Georgia. I have a laptop, but I dont want to wipe out all my music. HELP!!!

      My daughter has interrupted business as usual because she decided to change the passcode on my ipod. This is a first or second generation nano maybe, and it was loaded on a pc in Texas. I dont want to lose the songs that my mom loaded for me because they're irretreivable. Could someone tell me the process to unlock my ipod from my laptop, but reserve my exsisting music?

    Try connecting the iPod to the computer your normally sync it with.  Then properly eject it.  Upon doing so, you may discover that your iPod is unlocked.  If it is, make sure to disable the Screen Lock or change the code to something you can remember.
    Otherwise, if that doesn't work, your only option at that point is to restore the iPod via iTunes.  And yes this will involve wiping all content and settings from the iPod.  Afraid there is no other way.

  • Why does the security code for my home network not work with my hp6500?

    I have a HPOfficejet 6500A Plus and am running windows 7 on a Dell desktop.  I've tried to get my printer to connect to a home network and every time I type in the password it won't connect...it fails the security.   I've always used the direct printer cable to connect one of my desktops to the computer and am trying to get the wireless featur to work...it won't. 

    Hi,

  • Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 disappear when I swipe down? How can I lock it in place?

    Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 using IO8 disappear when I swip down? Its annoying. I have to tap the top of the screen to view my open tabs.
    why did Apple switch the position of the bookmarks icon and the favorites icon. Now I tap the wrong one.

    There isn't a setting to stop the tab bar automatically hiding (or I haven't found one), and as to why the icons were moved I don't think that Apple have said. If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • What is the Pin Code for unlock for Macbook Air System Lock ?

    What is the Pin Code for unlock for Macbook Air System Lock ?

    It usually means that the  owner of the device sent a directive through icloud(find my mac), to lock the device because it has been stolen.
    The only means to unlock the device is to have Apple (Apple Store) unlock it for the owner. If you are the owner, be prepared to show proof of legitimate ownership. It is likely that Apple will want to contact the registered owner to make sure that the device has been legitmately transferred.
    I'm really thinking you may have bought stolen property. Ask the seller why it is locked, and if the device is registered to him/her, to release the registration on Apple's website. Only then, will you be able to re-register the device in YOUR name.

  • What is the bypass code for lock screen

    what is the bypass code for the lock screen on i pod touch

    To restore the iPod to get rid of the lock combination you forgot, just follow these steps....
    1) Plug your iPod into the PC
    2) Wait for iTunes to sync your device like normal and let it back up all of your stuff, since restoring deletes all of your data
    3) Go onto your iPod's menu (The one that shows the memory bar at the bottom)
    4) Locate the Restore button on the screen and click restore
    5) If your not on iOS 5.0.1 yet, it will ask you to download the latest firmware, go ahead download it
    6) When it is done downloading it will take you through the restoration process.
    7) When it asks you if you want to restore it from a backup or set up as new when everything is finished, make sure you select "Back up as new"!!!
    8) Re-Sync your music, apps, photos, mail, contacts, etc. and anything you had before, and you device is just like new.

  • HT4623 what does the mm stand for on my model of ipad mini?

    what does the mm stand for on my model of my ipad mini that is also cellulat?

    Copied from another discussion, from Phil0124
    The MM or Millenium Media according to what I can find, refers to the CDMA variation of the Cellular iPad for Verizon Networks.
    The non MM version is for GSM carriers like AT&T.

    The WTK includes a video player example. I would start by looking there. In addtion SE and Nokia (if I remember correctly) both have video examples on their developer web sites.
    The developer sites are
