How do I get my iPad off of "Disabled"? It is telling me to connect to iTunes but not sure how when it won't let me do anything on my iPad?

When you connect to iTunes do you see the iPad in the sidebar and if you click on your iPad name do you see the summary tab on the right? If you do, click on the Restore button.
If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the iPad screen, you are in recovery mode. Read this for more information.

If you do not have the password, you can only do a restore-resetting the iPad to factory condition.

Your iPhone is in recovery mode. Do the following to get it out of recovery mode.
Plug your iPhone into your computer with iTunes open make sure iTunes recognizes the iPhone in recovery mode.
Hold down the power button and the home button to do a hard reset and shut it off
Keep your finger on the Home button ONLY and unplug the iPhone from the cable
Release the Home button and allow the iPhone to power back on which may take a few minutes
The iPhone will return to its prior format
Hope that helps!

Hello, for some reason i'Ve lost the ability to access my ipad, although i know the password, the ipad now is deactivated and telling me to connect to iTunes, i've done so but itunes can not access it anyway.
Please tell me what should be done to retrieve my photos on ipad before reformatting it.

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Rick,
Are you trying to restore an iPad2 wifi + 3G?
I'm sure somebody will correct me (Genius, insert proper reason here), but I believe if you are trying to set an iPad 2 3G unit back to a previous iOS (if you mistakenly upgraded to 4.3.4 or 4.3.5) and are trying to go back to 4.3.3?
There is something inherent with the 3G units that won’t let you.

HT1369 my Ipad is disabled and is saying connect to Itunes, but the PC is asking me to submit the pas code... I'm stuck

Hi,
My ipad is disabled and is asking me to connect to itunes. Itunes won't allow me to connect to it, and is asking me to insert the passcode to the device....

See iPhone DFU mode explained, and how to enter DFU mode.

HT1296 tried to update both iphone 5 and ipad mini and itunes sent errors to both and now on each device it says to connect to itunes but nothing happens

i have tried to update both my iphone and ipad to the new software on itunes and both came up errors and locked me out telling me to connect to itunes but nothing happens

Try putting them in DFU mode. This helped me when it happened to my iPhone 5.
If you don't know how to do that there are plenty of tutorials on the internet. It only takes a couple seconds.
