  • Please help!! ipad is disabled and will not do a hard reset to go into recovery mode.

    i cannot do a force reset... When i hold in the home and sleep/wake button nothing happens, I have tried these same steps over and over again. Neither the apple or the itunes logo ever pop up.. The screen just stays black. I recently replaced the digitizer after my son cracked the screen. I have made sure that nothing was injured during repair. I did put the digitizer ribbon in wrong and then the screen was not working correctly. I had put the ribbon in backwards. So after the first wrong installation of the digitizer, i tried to unlock the screen with my passcode but it obviously wasn't working.. i would touch the number for the passcode but the screen would respond somewhere else..so i kept getting the passcode wrong and then BAM! Ipad disabled.. so i took a break from the frustration... When i returned to my ipad i took it back apart and thats when i realized that i had the digitizer ribbon in backwards, so i fixed it and replaced the screen once again.. But now the ipad is disabled, and for some reason it will not respond when i try to shut it down all the way, no red slider at all...so i bout a apple data transfer cable and i tried to connect it to itunes and hold the buttons like i read to do in the article, and my computer recognizes that my ipad is there,,, it tells me that i have to allow access and to respond on my ipad.. but sadly i cannot.. nothing appears on the ipad.. it stays a black screen and then when i lt go the "ipad is disabled" screen comes on.....
    Then i read online that i could restore from icloud.com, so i go there, i sign in just fine but my ipad is not listed in the devices there either... it says " No Devices, You must be signed into iOS8 settings or Mac OS Yosemite system preferences to see devices."
    And i dont believe the ipad is up to date, it had been unused for about 2 months, until last week when i attempted to fix it so im sure the operating system is old :-(
    So im totally lost, I dont have a clue what to do to get my device recognized. I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give,, Thank you so much in advance!!!

  • Ipad Air disabled and will not restore to factory settings.

    Hi Guys,
    I recently had my ipad disabled by my little brother. He didn't know the password and kept going until he was completely locked out of it. I am familiar with restoring the device as it has happened once before.
    That time it all went smoothly. However now I cant seem to get past the updates. Every time I try to restore the device it begins to update and then fails an hour into the process. It's so bloody frustrating.
    Is there any particular reason why this update keeps failing or anyone know how I can restore without updating??
    If it helps I receive a message of an "unknown error -39" which keeps appearing.
    All help will be greatly appreciated as I have important projects on this thing

    I do not know that that particular code means, but many times, antivirus software and USB connections can have a negative impact on restoring with iTunes.
    My suggestion would be to quit iTunes, restart both devices, disable your firewall and antivirus software, and use another USB a port if you have one to use.

  • I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I forgot it, I entered several passcode but did not work, now the iPad is disabled and would not connect to iTunes. What can I do to unlock my iPad

    I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I foregot it, I entered several passcode but non was correct, now the iPad nis disabled and would not connect to the iTunes. what can be done to unlock my iPad?

    If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

  • HT201412 My ipad went blank and will not restart

    My ipad went blank and will not restart.  What can I do?

    Could be the battery is completely drained?
    Use the charger that came with the iPad. Plug the charger into a known good wall outlet and connect your iPad. Let it charge for at least an hour. Then, while still connected to the charger, reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad starts, fine. Let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If it does not charge make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My ipod states its disabled and will not function now ...  please help

    ipod states its disabled and will not work or allow me to reset from itunes?  any suggesstions? 

    You are going to have to restore it. Scince itunes does not connect to ur ipod because its disabled you are gonna have to put your ipod in DFU mode. Basicaly u have to hold the power and home button atthe same time for 10 second then release power button and keep holding home button for about 15 seconds ( all this you do it while ipod is connected to the computer) if it works, itunes will detect ur ipod in recovery mode and will give you the option to restore it.

  • My sons ipad is older and will not upgrade past ios 5.  can someone help me with this?

    my sons ipad is older and will not upgrade past iOS 5, therefore he is unable to download certian games.  does anyone have any suggestions or help that they can provide to me regarding this software issue?

    The original iPad cannot be upgraded beyond iOS 5.1.1. It simply doesn't have the hardware. There are still lots of apps in the App Store that will run on iOS 5.1.1.
    You can also try downloading the apps he's interested in to iTunes on your computer. Then, go back and try to download them on the iPad. If the developer makes an older version of the software available, you'll be given the option to download that. Note that not all developers continue to offer older versions.
    Best of luck.
