How can I get my ipad out of lost mode

It's actually my daughter's iPad. She got it for Christmas and I took it away from her a few months ago for punishment. She got it back today, but later revealed that her mom put it in lost mode (a few months ago) because she thought it was stolen.
After trying every passcode that the two of them could think of, the iPad is now disabled. I tried having my daughter log in to her icloud and erase the ipad, but that didn't work. Icloud says that the erase is pending, and nothing is happening with the iPad. When trying to access the iPad through iTunes, it doesn't allow me since the iPad is in lost mode, even though the iPad is saying to connect to iTunes.
Does anyone know what else I can do?

The erasure is "pending" because iCloud is waiting for the iPad to go online.
Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Don't download anything until iCloud completes the erasure.

  • How can I get my ipad out of recovery mode without losing all of my data

    I plugged my ipad into my laptop to charge, it went into recovery mode, I cannot lose my data.  How can I save my data and get out of recovery mode?

    Unplug it from your laptop and try a reset:
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    If it goes back into Recovery Mode then unfortunately your data is already lost.
    Restore from your iCloud or iTunes backup.

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

  • How can I get my phone out of restoration mode without losing my pictures?

    I was trying to back-up my phone on my new laptop, but it somehow disconnected itself, so it went into recovery mode. I was wondering if there was any way of either getting it out of recovery mode, or restoring it, without losing all the pictures I have on it? I did not have my icloud on for my picture roll, so that's out of the question.

    There is a safe boot on a Mac but I have never heard of anything like that on an iPad.
    If you are referring to restore mode where the iPad displays a USB connector and iTunes then the data on the iPad is already gone and you might as well connect it up to your computer and restore so that it works.

  • How can I get Measurement Studio out of Evaluation Mode in Windows XP

    I have a licensed Measurement Studio version 7.1.  for Visual Studio 6.   I have been using this no problem on a Windows 2000 computer.   I installed this on my WindowsXP computer and it installs all the VB libraries put not the C++ libraries.  I message pops up stating that I need Service Pack3 for WindowsXP.    First of all, I don't think service pack 3 for Windows XP exists yet.  Luckily, I have been able to still use all my DataSocket components.  I believe Datasockets are part of Measurement Stuidio.   I notice that CWgraph has evaluation mode on the graph and I get a popup message in VB6 stating I'm using Measurement Studio in evaluation mode.   

    Hello,
    The service pack in question is not for Windows XP.  The Measurement Studio installer required the VC++ 6 service pack 3 or higher.  I know that Microsoft has a service pack 6 for Visual C++ 6, and this is what you should install to get the C++ libraries on your machine.
    There is a tool on the CD that is in the ActiveXLicenseFixer folder that you can run to fix up the license.  If you have a valid license on the machine it will correct any licenseing issues.

  • How can I get an AP out of OfficeExtend mode?

    I was setting a group of access points to a certain block of settings and I used a template to apply it.  I have one access point that keeps giving me an error about the AP mode.
    I set this AP back to factory defaults, rebooted it, and it still joins the controller - but will not take the template. 
    Anyone know how to make it behave?

    I took that AP and assigned it to another controller and rebooted it, then assigned it back, rebooting it, and when it returned I applied the template and it worked! 
    I was just finishing up my little test when I saw your suggestion - which I never got to try out.  Since the console is 16 feet in the air, should I assume SSH/Telnet would have worked?
