How to reset the ipad when it is disabled?
My 8 year old created a password to lock the screen and then forgot it. Since then, the ipad has been Disabled and we don't know how to reset it. We have read the instructions in the manual but since we never had it synced with itunes or ios7, there is no way to get it to reset. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).

Safari Browser Crashes - How to Reset the IPAD-2?
I have the latest IOS 8.x installed on my IPAD-2 but haven't been able to get the Safari Browser to work for several months. When I click Safari it opens for a few seconds then shuts down...I'm not able to input any web sites.
I tried settings->safari->clear history & website data but it didn't help. I tried rebooting the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appeared, then let go & let the iPad boot up normally....Safari still won't open.
I guess I'd like to completely erase/reset the IPAD to it's original state in hopes of getting Safari to work. Is there a procedure?

How to reset the data when the session lost?
When I use response.sendRedirect("http://localhost:82/main.jsp")
the session lost, because the URL before redirect is using SSL,
"https://localhost:81/index.jsp", they use the different port,
so the session lost, what should i do to prevent this? And how
to reset the data?Create a HashMap and store it as an attribute of the servlet context. In the first servlet assign the user a key and store all session data in the HashMap under that key (use a vector, collection or user defined class).
In the response.sendRedirect call add the key to the url:
response.sendRedirect(url + "?key=" + userKey);
In the second servlet get the key (request.getParameter("key")), retrieve the session data from the HashMap in the servletcontext and store in an httpsession.
Remember to delete the entry from the HashMap so it doesn't become overly large. -
How to reset the ipad restriction code
how do i reset the restriction on my ipad. i dont know if my grand kid did it because i dont remember putting a restriction code
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If you mean a restrictions settings password, this requires a complete recovery of the phone as in the second link. -
tried to do an ios update the ipad mini is now asking to plug into itunes, have now seperate computer to do this can not get any other screen to come up on ipad can the ipad be reset or how do I fix this
If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then it sounds like it's gone into recovery mode and will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes in order to be reset. Does neither she nor you have a computer, and if she hasn't has she been backing up to the cloud instead ?
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether content is still in the store, she might be able to re-download some/all of her downloads via the Purchased tabs in the App Store and iTunes store apps -
HT204306 How to reset the iPad to factory have forgotten passcode? Please help...
I Tried the four step crud and it did not work the iTunes symbol displays and so does the little plug but nothing after that. there is no ok prompt nothing on the screen changes. I really would like to reset my iPad to factory condition cause I have forgotten my passcode and cannot install any updates... Please help me to do this successfully...
You can restore the iPad by completing a DFU restore.
DFU Restore:
1. Connect your iPad to your computer
2. Open iTunes
3. Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home buttons simultaneously for approximately 9-10 seconds
4. When the screen goes blank, release the Sleep/Wake button and continue holding the Home button
5. the screen MUST remain black. If the Apple logo appears while still holding the Home button you did not time it properly (either you released Sleep/Wake too soon or too late)
6. iTunes will pop up with a small window indicating you have connected an iPad in recovery mode and can Restore it to recover it.
7. If the apple logo appears due to incorrect timing the Recovery mode message may still appear in iTunes, but you should simply dismiss it and try again from step 3.
Afterwards, you'll want to restore from backup. If you use iTunes for backups, then your computer will ask if you'd like to restore the iPad from backup after the process above completes and it is recognized as a blank iPad in iTunes. If you use iCloud for backups, then disconnect your iPad after the process above and wait for the first-time setup screen to appear on the ipad. Select language, location, activate the device, and accept the terms and conditions; then choose to "restore from iCloud backup". After you sign in with your Apple ID you'll see your backups and you can select one. iCloud remembers that you had a password set but does not store the password in the cloud so when your iPad restarts with your information on it it will prompt for a new password to be set. -
Followed instructions on how to reset iPAD passcode. Did not work. What else can I try?
Hi, Nancy, and welcome to Apple Discussions. You've posted your question about using an iPod in a forum devoted to iPhoto, an application that has nothing to do with iPods. You would probably find a better-informed audience over in the iPod discussion area, under the particular Pod model that you own. Good luck!

I have locked my ipad but itunes wont let me unlock it,how can i fix it?
If you are trying to change your credit card info and you have cancelled the one card, then you need to add the new card, then make it the default card, and then you can delete the other one. If you have any additional issues, then contact iTunes support for assistance. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

‘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 canceling 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.

i have an ipad and the original owner is not present and i have no way to contact the owner how can i reset the ipad to factory settings?
Tammy,
Unfortunately your iPhone is just a paper weight. Return it to the pawn shop for a refund.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7 explains the "Buyer Beware" facts:
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in toicloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.
