How do I get my iPad unlocked when iTunes doesn't work to restore? Thanks!

My iPad is disabled due to me not remembering the passcode and attempting too many wrong guesses. I have gone through the "restore device" procedure on iTunes but I get error messages that my device is not eligible. How do I get my iPad unlocked? Thanks!

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • How do i get my ipod unlocked when in diabled mode?

    how do i get my ipod unlocked when it is in disabled mode? After several attempts to put password in.I have already been on Itunes and restored an updated everything and still wont work.

    Restore.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  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.

    how do i get my ipad to run itunes 10.6

    If you haven't already done so then you need to download and install iTunes on your computer and add your music to it (File > Add To Library) and you should then be able to connect your iPad to your computer and sync your music to it.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you may find the instructions on that page easier to follow if you enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
    If you haven't synced the iPad to that computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • My iPad2 side switch is acting up, it will only allow me to have either sound or rotate. If I unmute the rotate won't work, if I mute the rotate works. How can I get the iPad to unmute and rotate? I have restored, downloaded updates and rebooted.

    You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

  • How do I share a garageband track when iWeb doesn't work?

    Used to have a iWeb account to show off the kids to family and friends overseas. Without MobileMe it doesn't work. What do I do instead? My immediate issue is that my daughter needs a track she made in garageband, at school, and I thought she could pick it up on iWeb. But no... Any ideas?

    You can still publish your iWeb built site using one of these methods...

    You just need to get new hosting...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    You can create a folder on the server for file sharing and upload the files...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/AudioFiles/Upload.html
    If you want to make them easy for others to download create a zip. This describes PDFs but the method is the same for most other file types...

    If you don't need to publish your website, SugarSync is a newer file sharing service which may suit your needs...

  • How can you get to Technical Support when something is not working?

    I have tried to install an update from Adobe and the Extension Manager will not install.
    I keep getting this error code:
    "Extension Manager 6.0.8 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7"
    Then it tells me to check with Technical Support if it doesn't install after trying again.
    There doesn't seem to be any way to reach Technical Support for Adobe Products.
    The entire system is only a sales tool. This is, to put it nicely, a pile of manure.
    If anyone knows how to address this problem please let me know

  • How can I get films purchased from the iTunes store to work on my new iPod classic?

    I have recently purchased a new iPod classic, everything works accept it will not play films. At first I thought it was a problem with the films I was trying to put on as they were from my computer; but after purchasing some films from iTunes it still keeps saying that they cannot be played on this device. Please help as I have spent money on films I otherwise cannot watch.
    Any advice is welcome.

    Hey Shelly29,
    It sounds like you might be trying to sync HD videos to your iPod classic.
    HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
    You'll want to check out the following article to resolve the issue, specifically the "Download previously purchased content in a lower resolution" section:

  • How do I delete an app tab when unpin doesn't work?

    Quite unexpectedly everytime I close out a session, an icon for an app tab for a news website remains on the firefox tab bar. I have right clicked the icon and clicked unpin app, and all that happens is the whole name of the website shows on the toolbar and there is no way to close the site and end it since there is no "x" on it to end the session on that website. I checked app tab info available on firefox and there is nothing in the questions available that answers this question, I have read them all that were offered on the topic of app tabs.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • What do I do when iTunes doesn't open during restoring process for an ipod?

    I am following the prompts for restoring an ipod with a forgotten password. I have connected the usb cable to my computer and the usb and iTunes symbols appear but nothing else is happening. What do i do now?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    The apps you are trying to update were purchased with (and therfore permanently linked to) someone elses Apple ID. If you do not know the password then you need to delete the app and redownload/purchase it with your Apple ID.
