Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

My iPad is disabled and I am unable to get it to work. How can I fix this?

My iPad is disabled and I can't figure out out to get it fixed. The original Apple ID that was set up on the iPad is no longer active and I'm not sure if I ever changed it. Can anyone help me???

Finding your Apple ID or resetting your password

HT1212 My iPod is disabled and I am unable to get itunes to accept the device

I have tried to use the trouble shooting from the Apple website about restoring my iPod. After following the online instructions iTunes just reiterated that a passcode was needed. My iPod will not allow me to open this as the pass code was attempted too many times. Any other ideas? Maybe I need to bring it to an Apple store for recovery.

‘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.

hlep me guys ive been sitting at a computer for 2 hr trying to get this to work !! ASAPPP

Did you follow the steps in the bottom section that discusses what to do if you have never synced with iTunes before?
You can try forcing it into recovery mode:
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

My iPad is disabled and I cannot connect to itunes - help

I am trying to connect my disabled iPad to itunes to reset the forgotten password. As suggested in another dicussion I have tried unplugging the USB and holding the home button on the iPad for 10 seconds and then replugging the iPad into the computer but my computer says itunes could not connect to the iPad because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the iPad before it can be used with itunes.
Please help....

Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Ipad says disabled and I am unable to enable it through itunes

My Ipad says Ipad disabled connect to Itunes. When I connect to Itunes it says Ipad is locked please enter code. I have a security code enabled on the Ipad so my kids wont get on it, but I am unable to enter the code, because I cant do anything on it since it's disabled.

Of you tried putting the code in too many times, it locks it also giving you the disabled message.
Let it sit for 5-30 minutes then try your code again.
This is a security feature in case it's stolen ect, it's not something you want to remove.
When in this mode connecting it to iTunes will not do anything either.
