doesnt give red slide bar says its disabled no matter what i hold down at the same time how many times i plug into itunes. you dont understand please stop pretending you do.
Where in my last post did I say it would bring up a red slider bar?. I didn't so what you don't understand unfortunately is that a reset can be done to either turn off the device or ower it back on. A simple yes or no would have been acceptable but with a reply like that is just plain rude.
The only way to fix the issue of an iPhone being disabled is by restoring via recovery mode or DFU mode(google it). To restore via recovery mode you need the iPhone turned off first and if you are unable to then sorry you are out luck.
Enjoy

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

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • HT1212 Iphone 4S Disabled

    Okay so this afternoon I dropped my iphone 4s, and after that even though I kept on entering the right password it kept saying incorrect password. It got disabled for a while and after many failed attempts its gone to the 'iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes mode.' The last time I synced this phone was over 6 months ago with a laptop that I dont even have anymore. So in short there are no backups, and I have lots of picutres and videos that are in my phone. In order to get it to work I might have to connect it to iTunes and get it to run in recovery mode. Is there any way that I can somehow not have my data erased, or maybe create a back up before doing so? The data in my phone really is important.

    Same was as I told the OP, but here is the link again. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

  • HT1212 "iphone is disabled, connect to itunes". I cannot get anything to work. Help!

    I have tried to restore my iphone and nothing works! It starts the process for about 15 minutes then the phone goes back to the message "iphone is disabled, connect to itunes". I cannot get anything to work. Help! I am so frustrated with our iphones, that I am ready to switch to different phones for my entire family. Please help!!!

    Did you check your security software settings, to make sure iTunes can contact Apple servers during the restore process?

  • My screen say "iPHONE is disabled connect to itunes what happened?

    how do i solve this problem

    The main reason for your problem is that someone has entered an incorrect password for the phone several times.
    The good news for you is that it isn't hard to solve.
    I would recommend you put the device into DFU mode (search google on how to do this) and restore through itunes. Let me no how you get on
    Thanks Tony

  • HT1212 My iphone is disabled and I do not have access to computer. What do I do?

    My iphone is disabled and I do not have access to a computer....what do I do?

    One option if you have Find My iPhone turned on:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    "If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore 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."
    This still requires access either to a computer or another iOS device.
