How do i reset IPad Mini without restrictions passcode if i'm not connected to Icloud either?

I have an IPad mini, but i can't sync it with Icloud or even connect it because the icon in settings comes up a little faded. I cant reset factory settings because i need the restriction passcode and i have no idea what it is.

You can't access iCloud settings because of the restrictions passcode.
You can try restoring isung recovery mode. you will totally erase the iPad by using recovery mode and you will obviously lose everything on it. I hope that you have a backup.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support

    Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

  • How can I buy a factory unlocked iPad mini without restriction of buying it with a cellular line?

    I need to buy an iPad mini via the apple website which is factory unlocked, but the option I am getting is to buy it with a cellular line of which I will be tied to use only that line.
    How can I proceed with this purchase?

    Easily, you cannot.  You can buy an unlocked iPad within a country in which an iPad is unlocked - Thailand, for example.

  • How does the ipad mini wifi only know my location when not connected to wifi?

    I thought the wifi only ipad mini does not have a gps chip.  Yesterday however, I was driving around with my wife in the car (no wifi) and the ipad mini was able to keep track of my location on the map I had pre-downloaded.  How is this possible?

    Your WiFI only position is determined by the iPad keeping track of the names and intensity of the various WiFi signals and comparing that to a database of WiFi access points with their locations.

  • When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

    When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
    Help would be much appreciated!

    If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
    As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
    For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

  • HT4623 I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

    I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

    Hello anacc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Someone changed my passcode! How do I reset my phone without a power cord or iTunes?

    Well earlier this week, my iPhone 5c was stolen. but I got it back from the school's office. I had a passcode sent on it before so i simply entered that passcode into the phone but it wouldn't let me in at all. Now i guess you can say that the person who took my phone bypassed the passcode and changed it. I was wondering how do you reset the phone without a power cord or iTunes?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  You will need to access the computer you sync with and use iTunes.  This link will provide help:

  • HT5625 I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the  Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time.

    I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the  Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .

    Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
    The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
    You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
    Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs.
