HT201263 Ipad Mini Disabled - Wrong Passcode

I was downloading the restore files of 1.14GB via itunes from apple and it has reached 600MB and unfortunately, download stopped. Please I need a direct download link to this file so I can use a download manager and if its a zipped file, better to download....
Alternatively, if you have service/support centre in nigeria, please provide the details for me asap. Appreciate!
Thanks

Why would iPad mini disable itself when correct passcode is entered?

My daughter's iPad mini disabled itself even though an incorrect password was never entered? It started with a 15 minute lock out followed by 30. At some point it went to a 60 minute lockout and after a half hour or so reverted back to 60 minutes for no reason. I finally got my hands on it and after the 60 minute clock expired I correctly entered the first three digits of the passcode and the iPad promptly disabled itself for good. This makes no sense. I'm aware of the restore drill. What I want to know is this: Why did this happen and is there some sort of Hail Mary play that will prevent a complete restore.

Did you reboot the router?
If that doesn't work, test it... will it connect to a public router (wifi) like in a bookstore or public area? If it works, then the problem is with your router.

‘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.

Hi

Hey there Bungle,

Ipad mini disabled restart in 23 million minutes

my ipad mini is giving the message that it is disabled to restart in 23 million minutes. Is this a virus? What to do? I rarely use my iPad mini. DOn't want to sync it to my macbook, incase the virus

This is not a virus. This is usually the result of someone trying to guess your iPad's passcode lock and getting it wrong repeatedly. I'm not sure what causes it to escalate to such high numbers in some cases, but regardless, I don't think that you'll be able to unlock it. You'll probably need to do as Diavonex suggests.

IPad mini disabled

Hello, my grandparents received an IPad mini as a gift recently. As you may expect, they are not technology fans, and they didn't know how to sync their IPad to the computer. So they created a password, and then forgot it. Then they tried to unlock it and accidentally disabled it. I've tried to repair this by following the steps I read in the support section, but as they've never synchronized it with a computer this couldn't be done. Can anyone help me?

HT201263 ipad is disabled how to fix

my ipad is disabled. so frustrated. how go I get it to work agian. It said to connect to itunes but nothing happening.

If its disabled because you forgot the passcode and you are locked out, you need to use Recovery Mode to restore the iPad.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

Ipad mini Disabled reset issue

Hi Guys,
My Nieces Ipad mini is disabled,
When i follow all instructions to Restore, during extracting software 3/4 way through it gives the Locked error on the Ipad mini.
I have removed Itunes from the Pc and ReInstalled also.........
This is killing my Brain!!
Any assistance would be grateful,

Hello Gman0007,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you're unable to restore the iPad, then the next step would be to put the device into recovery mode, and restore it that way. Take a look at the instructions below for step-by-step instructions. The process should get your niece's iPad mini back to working order.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Cheers,
Alex H.
