Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

    im trying to connect my ipad to my connection at home and its taking the password but still wont connect and doesnt tell me why?? .i even tried to reset network settings

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, my guess is that it's a router issue.  You'll need to get administrative access to the router and determine if it has a firewall.  If one is present, turn it off and test the iPad.  If that solves the problem, don't leave it that way.  Turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test again.  Repeat as required.
    For what it's worth, a router firewall can stop iPad communication without affecting computer communication.  I do not understand why the difference.
    Edit...
    I just saw the post from Diavonex.  An off/on is certainly worth a shot.  Leave it off for ten seconds.

    I have an AT&T contracted iphone 5. Cannot send mms to anyone but other iPhone users. If you search the Internet, you'll see that the problem is everywhere...both the carriers and Apple are actling like the problem belongs to the other, or feigning any knowledge (which is kind of funny since the no MMS thing was in an ios6 beta that was released awhile ago, so I KNOW apple knows about it). No, I'm not running a beta (obviously, I just got my iphone 5).  Awesome. Have a great camera on this thing, but cannot send OR receive MMS from anyone other than other iphone users. Gotta love it.

  • I've fixed the (,) between port, but It still wont connect. any help ?

    I've fixed the (,) between port, but It still wont connect using proxies. All of my friends have the same setting (proxy) but why only my mac couldn't connect ?
    maybe someone could give a help

    Found this, which might provide a clue:
    I have had problems with 3.1 after installing Snow Leopard, with files created in MS Word - they come up with the text invisible (as though it's white, but changing the text colour doesn't help - by highlighting I can tell that the paragraphs are where they should be).
    I upgraded to 3.1.1 but that did not solve the problem...
    UPDATE: I found out the problem, it was nothing to do with Open Office, but rather the way Snow Leopard handles fonts. I went into the Font Book and found that a number of common fonts are now listed both in the "User" and "Computer" collections. I deleted the duplicate ones from "User" and now all works perfectly.

    I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciate.  iPad 2, iOS 8.3

    This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum. 
    Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled?  It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

    From Apple's website and printed on the box the mini came in:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download
    You will have to update to at least OS X 10.6.8 or later, otherwise known as snow leopard.

  • HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
    -hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
    -select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
    -after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
    -after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
    -double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
    PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
    double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
    hope this helps:)

  • Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

    Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.  It gets weirder:
    When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top,  if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
    I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
    "If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
    I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • XBOX ONE. I have the xbox one and the airport time capsule and cant connect to most xbox live games and zero parties. I have 0 experience in all this but somehow was able to change NAT to open but still wont connect. HELLLPPPP

    Okay folks, I need your help out there.
    So the nerdy side of me went and picked up the XBOX ONE on release day. Its awesome by the way, BUT..... I cant seem to connect to most xbox live games and absolutely ZERO parties. At first I just thought it was something to do with the xbox itself and would eventually fix itself, but i was wrong. After looking into it on microsoft, i found out that it had to do with my NAT settings on the airport itself. I guess apple and xbox are not compatiable for xbox live and it makes it difficult to have an open NAT setting and is a huge PAIN.
    I was able to pinpoint one that the airport time capsule was blocking the IPV6 something or another. Anyways, I unblocked that, and reset the modem and time capsule and jumped on the xbox and now have open NAT settings but still cant connect to multi-player.
    Upon further searching, i was told to uncheck the UPNP on my time capsule as well, but have no idea how to find that.
    I know it seems confusing, but thats the best i can describe it.
    tthanks all

    Be a long long time before I see an Xbox One.. but whoever told you to uncheck the upnp in the TC.. tell them their dreamin' .. upnp is not support by Apple in any computer or router, never has been.. Apple deliberately wrote their own version called NAT-PMP to do the same thing.. dynamically open ports at the request of an application or client computer.
    So there is nothing like that to uncheck.. and as a matter of interest.. there no box to check or uncheck for NAT-PMP either.. since apple do not believe in end user adjustment of settings.. they simply do not exist.
    You will have to manually forward all ports required by the Xbox via the TC. For multi-player games you probably need to open more ports than the standard to allow just xbox live. You will need to check the ports required and open them.
    OR
    Buy a standard vista UPNP compatible router.. and use that.. and simply put the TC in bridge in the network.
    I have not seen posts yet about xbox one.. but there are plenty about xbox and ps3 and the fact that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about games consoles.
    This is a good basic post for older xbox.

  • My iPhone 3GS & iPad 4 wont connect to my Macbook

    Hello, my name is Dave. I have two problems with Apple products.
    I've been trying to upload music to my iPhone 3GS and iPad from my Macbook.
         - iPhone 3GS problem
              I have a 32GB iPhone 3GS with 6.1.6. I want to upload music to my phone, but I cant. I can connect my iPhone to my Macbook, and it wont even charge it, closed or not. I haven't tried putting my iPhone into recovery mode yet, only because it wont even charge from my Macbook. I followed Glenn Carter's instructions from this link. Iphone wont connect to macbook 
    "Well, I may have discovered a fix, or at least a work around for this.
    Quit iTunes if open, and go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences.
    Scroll down to
    com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    Move it to the Trash (but don't Empty it yet).
    Log out of your account (or reboot), and then log back in. Now, without launching iTunes, connect your iPhone and see if iTunes launches on its' own.
    Let us know your results. Cheers!" -Glenn Carter
         -iPad 4 problem
              My second problem is with my 32GB iPad 4 with 8.1. I am having a similar problem to what is going on with my iPhone. My iPad will connect to my Macbook and iTunes, but will ask me to enter my passcode to gain access. The problem is, I will enter my passcode, it will read for a second, then come back with the same thing. It shows up with this message.
    "iTunes could not connect to the iPad “David J. Botelho's iPad” because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
              It will ask me to try again, and I keep trying. It still comes up with the same message EVERY time I try to enter my passcode to gain access.
         I have a Macbook 5, 2 with Mac OS X 10.6.8(10K549) and I have iTunes 11.0.4.
         This is very annoying. I would appreciate it if someone could solve either one of my problems, or both. Thank you for your time.
         -Dave

    Then, after a few times of disconnecting and reconnecting my iPad to my Macbook, this shows up....
    Not even an iPhone !!! VERY confused.
