You will need to restore the iPad via the computer that you normally sync to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 . You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode first

    I have tried the restore options advised to me and this gave me an error code. I followed the advice which told me to change host settings on my laptop. and then tried again. I got the exact same error code and my ipad is still disabled. This is my sons ipad and i will not be able to get to an apple shop for around two weeks. Any advice /help to avoid this trip to apple shop would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT4061 My new iPad Air is locked from too many attempts to log onto it.

    The red power slider is not working.  I installed iTunes and have no backup for the iPad yet.  I tried plugging the USB into the PC and holding the upper shutdown/wakeup button and home button at the same time.  When I saw the Apple icon I kept holding the home button as suggested and simultaneously plugged the other end of the USB cable into the iPad.  I got a message from iTunes saying I could not connect to the iPad because it was locked with a passcode and You must enter the passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes.  I did go on Apple and reset my apple password but I cannot get to any point where I can reenter this new password to unlock the iPad.  Any ideas how I can unlock my iPad?

    Yes. Before connecting to iTunes via USB cable, turn on your iPad, and unlock it (using passcode) and DO NOT TURN IT OFF before connecting it to your PC/Mac for Backup. After connecting it, Open iTunes on your computer, press the iPad logo on top right (or left: depending on what iTunes version you have) After pressing the iPad icon, press SYNC (you may have to scroll down a little).
    Then, just wait till it gets fully synced and backupped, then eject the iPad, (By pressing a triangle and a line icon) when hovering over the iPad icon on the PC
    Pressing the HOME and POWER at the same time when the iPad is asleep doesnt do anything special. Just try pressing the POWER button (top) for about 5 seconds to turn it on. If it doesnt work, press it for 7 seconds, or CHARGE it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I would like to sync using a certain e-mail address. I'm getting the message that I have made too many attempts to sync using the address?

    I would simply like to use the same e-mail address to use the sync option. After using an incorrect e-mail, I deleted that account. I am now getting an error message that states I have made too many attempts to create an account using the e-mail that I wanted to use. Thank you.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
