i forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore

You will probably need to use recovery mode

HT4061 How to restore my ipad after downloading itunes?
How to restore my ipad after downloading itunes?
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
Click Restore.
After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
If restoring does not finish successfully or if a restore error appears, see iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages.
Additional Information
If your device is continually restarting, not responding, or showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, place the device into recovery mode and try restoring again.
Devices with cellular service should activate after a restore. If activation is not successfu, see the options below.
Symptoms
Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
"The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
"iTunes was unable to verify your device."
Resolution
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance. -

How can restore the ipad is disabled.....
How can restore the ipad is disabled.....
Hi,
just thought I would put my two cents worth in.
I recently had an 89 year old friend disable her ipad and so as she had never backed it up to iTunes etc, had to do the system restore.
This stuck on me several times and despite using the steps in:
Read This: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
It got to a point where after the 80 odd minutes got to - Processing file please wait - well after waiting over night and still no joy and trying other pc's in case it was the PC, I resorted to ringing apple care. They were great..
It turned out that the file had actually downloaded but hadn't extracted. So what we did was simply take the lightening cable out of the ipad and as I put it back in, instead of just holding the home key down, held the on/off switch down at the same time as well as the home key ( a bit of juggling to do all three at the same time) but then the iTunes screen changed to say extracting and from there away it went. The apple logo came up on the ipad and it restored as normal - maybe about 20 mins. Whilst we lost all previous data, it was not a big deal to get some back from the app store etc. But If I had thought or known to try that step it may have saved me about 5 hours of wasted time.
So if this can help anyone else you then great.

I have several devices My Keeper account didn't renew as I had no money in iTunes so it locked Turns out I didn't back up regularly to the cloud cause I forgot i had paid for 1 device I had backed up the iPod I replaced with my iPhone 5 S .
I had backed up the iPhone on my laptop . But I did a sync then restore from Backup to my iPhone hoping the sync would add the files i had added to the iPhone but not backed up to the Keeper cloud , but were on the laptop back up. It didn't So sitting in the trash on my laptop is the nw replaced iOS App Keeper that was replaced by the one that came back from the keeper Cloud when i renewed my sub but made it for all devices not bjust the 1. When I checked the old i Pod it was its backup To Keeper cloud from Nov 2013 that was back installed on my iPhone What I want to do is drag and drop the Keeper IOS app from the Laptop trash Hopefully containing the added Files since Nov 2013 and replace the old version and then restore from Back up on the laptop to the iPhone and get my files Back .
Simple Aye.

You will need to remember or find your id, if you can't then you won't be able to reactivate your iPad.
Do you have any of the account's downloads in your computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ?
If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID -
"Find my iPad" must be turned off before you can restore my iPad. But i forgot my passcode as well, what to do!!!
If you have IOS-7, read this.

How to restore an iPad when it is rebooting all the time and cannot connect to iTunes
Two days ago, I was updating applications. The iPad crashed during the process so I did a hard rebood. Since then, the iPad is in a perpetual reboot mode.
Once in a while, I get the security keypad but as soon as my password is put, the iPad freezes and then, goes in reboot.
We tried to connect to iTunes on our MacBook Pro but the connection is often not possible because of the reboot.
A few times, we were able to see the iPad menu and even tried a restore from iTunes. iTunes downloaded the iOS 6.1.3 again (over multiple connection/reconnections) but no help. The iPad is still rebooting all the time.
What can I do?Send the iPad into DFU mode and then restore it through iTunes.
Google the instructions on how to place your iPad into DFU mode.
