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.

  • HT1222 how to unlock my ipad

    I forgot my passcode and it is disabled now , is there any way to unlock it??

    Greetings salmo  ,
    I was looking into ways to restore the iPad or any way to get you back into your iPad, and cound this great article named iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212.
    If you have synced the device with iTunes before, then I would start at the first section:
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
    You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    Have you tried syncing once and then try transferring purchase again? Syncing should trnafer them during the sync process.
    Also make sure that you don't have content that you bought with another Apple ID that needs to be transfered as well.

    Hi, Last time I synced my IPad with my PC, it (unknown to me) migrated all my PC "Favorites" (about 100 folders) to the ICloud.
    I have searched and so far been unable to find out how to recover my "Favorites" from the ICloud back to my PC. Any advice would

    What did you do to get them synced to the Cloud.  Would that procedure help me get my favorites synced to my iPad2?

    how to recover photos from a usb key to put on ipad

    What do you mean 'how to recover' ? If you want to copy the photos from the USB drive to your iPad then you can try using the camera connection kit, but a lot of USB drives require more power than is supplied to the kit and the photos need to be in a particular format : you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the drive with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them

    how to recover from locked ipad after wrong passwored trile

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Safari doesn't work anymore  on my iPad- it hangs completely. Anyone knows how to recover?

    Safari doesn't work anymore  on my iPad- it hangs completely. Anyone knows how to recover?

    Repeated to another user:
    I have had the same issue since the release of iOS7. I even went as far as a factory reset of my iPad 2 and did not restore from any backup. Safari still will not load any pages. It hangs then stops.
    I have tried the steps above so please don't repeat them. I refuse to believe I am the only person on the planet that cannot get a resolution for this? 
    Please, somebody, help me fix this. It's extremely annoying that the default browser cannot be change yet will not work.

  • How to recover lost files from ipad on mac

    I have stored many videos, contacts, notes, music files and more on my ipad. Unfortunately, I lost my some files on it owing to my wrong operation. Now I am
    looking for the ways how to get them back quickly, but it is failed. If you are familiar with this problem, please continue reading to give me some clues about how to recover these lost files from iPad on Mac computer? 100 coins will be added!

    Firstly, you can rely on iCloud or iTunes to recovery iPad data, such as recover deleted text messages, photos, notes, restore iPhone contacts, after all, it is free. 
    1. Connect your iPad with iTune on computer 
    2. Right-click or control-click on the iPad icon under iDevice on iTunes 
    3. Select "Restore from Backup" from the given options 
    4. After it finishs, your contacts are back to your iPhone 
    Important Note: This works only if you have made a backup for your data on iTunes. 
    In case that the iCloud or iTunes cannot help to make a iPad Data Recovery, you can turn to a third party tool.

  • How to recover deleted pictures in imessage on ipad

    how to recover deleted photos in message on ipad?

    Were the pictures on the microSD memory card? Was that the only place? Not sync'd to cloud service? Not sync'd or copied to a computer using Link?
    If the files were on the card and only on the card, you can read the card with computer and run a utility (search) to find and recover deleted files. If the spaces where the pictures files hasn't been overwritten yet, then you should be able to undelete the file. You may not be able to undelete all files, depending. Whatever you cannot undelete is lost.
    If you sync'd or copied the files somewhere, you can sync them or copying them back to the device, depending. Link does not delete files from the computer when they are deleted from the device, so if you were using Link to sync the pictures then you still have them on the computer. The same may or may not be the case if you are sync'ing using another method.
