HT1414 how do i iOS restore my apple iPad?

i need help my ipad mini refuses to unlock im not sure why because i know my code but it says its wrong.

Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up    
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

    Did a backup to iTunes and upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPad.  After the update was complete and ran the setup on the iPad, I tried to restore from iTunes and was unable to connect the iPad and get the following error message:
    iTunes couldn't connect to this iPad.  An unknown error has orcurred (0xE800000A)

  • How to download ios 6 to my ipad 2

    hi, i have no idea how to update my ipad 2 with ios 6?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • HT1414 I upgraded to iOS 5 and my iPad cannot be recognized by my pc, my apple laptop or any other system.  It doesn't even sync while connected to my wireless network.  also, the iPad can only charge if I turn it off and plug it to either the wall outlet

    After I upgraded to iOS 5 my pc and laptops (including the apple one) do not recognize the laptop when I connect to the USB.  The wireless function does not function either.  I cannot sync the iPad 2 anymore because of this.  Also, the only way it charges is if I lug it to the wall or pc USB and turn it off.  I was able to charge the device while it was on.  Why is this happening?  How can I fix it? If there is no fix, how can I revert back to an older iOS.  I tried using the support apple instructions but the iPad is not recognized by the pc and I cannot sync the iPad iTunes to revert back to an older iOS.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • How to view iOS requirement using Apple Search API

    I'm currently using the Apple Search API to search AppStore content, and i want to view the iOS requirement for the seleceted apps that i have already searched, but i didn't see any field that show the iOS requirement for the apps, so how to view that?
    Thanks in advance

    I am surprised to say that I don't think this is possible.  Which is strange because upon inspection of the JSON results there is a return key for EVERYTHING except target iOS version.  I would imagine that this may be an oversight by apple.  It does not make sense that I can search "supportedDevices", "isGameCenterEnabled", and "fileSizeBytes" but not minimum or target OS.

  • HT1414 How to download iOS 4.3?

    I tried to update my iphone 3GS but turn out the iOS was downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 and many apps are not longer able to be reinstalled, any solution? Can not find the download in iTune?

    Looks like your Phone is a 3G not a 3Gs...
    iOS 4.2.1 is as high as a 3G can go...
