HT1349 ipad displays disabled and connect to itunes. how do I go about this?

My Ipad displays disabled and connect to itunes. How do I go about this? I have already did the home/power but still not working..Please help

The iPad is telling you what to do. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. You probably need to restore the device. If it was disabled because you forgot the pass code, you will have to restore using recovery mode. As long as you restore with the computer that you always sync with, you will be able to restore from your backup at the very end and you will not lose any data.
This explains how to restore the iPad.

  • I forgot my iphone's password and it is disabled now because i tried so many times to open it. Now it's saying "your iphone is disabled and connect to itunes" i connected it to itunes and clicked restore.

    I forgot my iphone's password and it is disabled now because i tried so many times to open it. Now it's saying "your iphone is disabled and connect to itunes" i connected it to itunes and clicked restore. How long will it take for my phone to restore? Is it gonna be 24 hours?

    It appears like there is maintenance or something affecting the iTunes server today.  I recommend giving it a few hours and trying again.  It shouldn't take that long to restore but from what I hear, there is definitely something going on with the iTunes server today.

  • HT1212 I am trying to restore my ipad (disabled and connect to itunes), but when going through the steps, it's asking me for my passcode.  I can't put that in because it's disbled.  This is the WORST product and product instructions I have ever dealt with

    My ipad is disabled and it tells me to connect to itunes.  However, once I've connected to iTUNES, it ask me for my passcode and of course, I can't put that in because my ipad is disabled.  I am ready to throw this iPad out the window.  Wll never buy another one.

  • Ipod touch says it is disabled and connect to iTunes

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. 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.
     Cheers, Tom

    My son attempted to unlock my iPad without success.  The iPad is now locked and screen shows iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes.  When I connect to iTunes the alert box pops up and says to unlock the iPad before iTunes can connect to it!  I am stuck!  Please help?!

    You need to use recovery mode now.
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
