How do you undisable a iPad mini?

My ipad mini says it is disabled and says to connect to itunes. When I connect to itunes it says that I have to enter my password in the ipad to connect to itunes.

Force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.

  • How do you reset an ipad mini without knowing the password?

    I have just recently changed my password, but know i have forgot the new one. How do you reset the ipad without knowing the password?

    If you mean the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • How do I change my iPad mini's SIM PIN when I cannot remember what the original PIN was?

    I went to enter a new PIN so I could lock my iPad's SIM card and was asked to enter a number. At some point, I must have entered a number already, because I got a message that I had entered the wrong one.  I can't seem to choose the "change PIN" option, probably because I can't recall the original one. How to I change the SIM PIN? What happens if I use up all my chances at entering the PIN and don't hit on the correct one?

    Thank you for the reply.
    I have one chance left to enter a number and then I will be locked out of
    4G service.  So, I have not tried 1111. What will that number do?

    There is no place I can find that provides with a PIN or PUK. I have tried

  • How can i fix my ipad mini? because it keeps on restarting repeatedly.

    how can i fix my ipad mini? because it keeps on restarting repeatedly.

    Ideally the best thing to do in this situation is a soft reset, press and hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    The factory settings option you've gone for should resolve this as well, but unless you've backed up you will lose content with this option.

  • TS4006 How do i reactivate an iPad Mini that has been disabled

    How do i reactivate an iPad Mini that has been deactivated due to password without iTunes

    You have to restore the iPad using one of the methods in here.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering ...
    You will need to use Find My iPhone in iCloud.com in order to erase your device and unlock it so that you can use it again. See the very end of the article.
    This is copied from the article.
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

    How do you want it to be set up ? If you want the same content as you have on your other iPad then copy any purchases that aren't already in your Mac's iTunes library by connecting it to it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option, back up the iPad (File > Devices > Back Up), and then restore that backup onto your iPad Mini

    If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account.  There are discussions about this issue.  Otherwise...  for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on.  Use Google.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
