HT201263 Ipad mini is locked as someone has put the wrong code in too many times will not restore

Hi
I have a ipad mini (my step daughter does) she was given it by her father, someone has tried to put the wrong code in too many times and now is disabled is there any way I can unlock it or take of to apple?

Hey there Bungle,
It sounds like your iPad is disabled due too a forgotten passcode. This article should help you get it back on track:

The instructions are different depending on whether or not you have synced your iPad to your computer so be sure to follow the applicable instructions.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

  • I have an iPad Mini which after being on charge has now frozen with the iCloud Backup box in the middle of the screen which in spite of pushing OK many times will not go away or unlock the screen or iPad

    I have an iPad Mini which after charging has now frozen with the iCloud Backup text box in the middle of the screen and OK 'button' registers when tapped but remain locked with nothing operating. It is fully charged.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Everytime I delete music from my iPad mini and then re-sync, it puts the music back on. How do I prevent this?

    I shuffle music around a lot (and is there a way to delete whole albums at a swipe and not have to do it song by song) so am getting frustrated when iTunes keeps restoring my iPad mini to the last incarnation of songs. Are there settings I am missing?

    If your iPad is on iOS 7 as your tagline suggests then you can only delete individual songs directly on your iPad, you can't delete whole albums in one go.
    For the music being put back on, what music sync options do you have on its Music tab when connected to your computer's iTunes ? If you have it set to sync the album / artist / playlist that contains a song that you've deleted directly on your iPad then you will need to change your sync options - as far as iTunes knows you've accidentally deleted the song(s) from your iPad, so unless you also change your sync selection (e.g. removing the album, removing tracks from your playlists on your computer's iTunes) then it will them back on it.

  • Someone PLEASE Check The Media Manager Program! RunTime Components Will NOT Download Properly!

    I am a Verizon FiOS subscriber, and my family members have Verizon apps and programs on their computers.  For some ungodly reason, Media Manager does NOT install properly once the initial download program is acquired.  There is a message that comes up that says "Media Manger installer is having a problem accessing the server to download RunTime components. Please try again later."  I've had my brother call because he is the most technically inclined, and despite being on the phone extensively with Verizon representatives, NO-ONE has fixed or seems to be able to fix this problem!
    I would appreciate it if someone would please either fix the files at the server, fix the downloader so that it goes to whatever new area where the runtime components are, or post the correct link to perhaps a full installer of Verizon MediaManager.  It is very frustrating that despite calling, I have not gotten ANY proper assistance with this issue!
    Sincerely,
    LorraineBMoses

    What OS are you running?
    If Vista or Windows 7, Try right clicking the install program and selecting run as administrator. See if that helps.

  • TS2446 What if it locked me out because I attempted my security qestions too many times?

    Im so frustrated! I forgot my security questions, it told me to try and acsess them on my AppleID and then it locked me out!

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
    Send Apple an email request for help at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
    Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service
    3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.

  • TS1741 my i pad is lock up and i cant get it unlocked can you please help the password was used to many times

    my i pad is lock can someone please help  the password was used to many times

    If you have forgotten the iPad passcode and you cannot unlock the device, 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 iTunes content. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Instructions can be found here.

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

  • My ipad mini is locked on language selection in start up

    I have just taken my ipad mini out of the box, turned it on and it locked up on language selection. I can't get past selecting english.

    Hi OcelotC,
    From your post I understand that your iPad is currently locked due to entering in the incorrect password too many times, due to not being able to pull up the Russian keyboard when entering the passcode.  Given that time has passed, you should be able to tap on the globe icon next to the space bar on the keyboard to change which keyboard language is shown on the device.
    Change the language
    If more than one keyboard is on, you can change the language while typing with two methods:
    Tap the Next Keyboard  key to choose the next language. The chosen language shows on the Space bar.
    Touch and hold  to display a menu of the enabled keyboards.
    Drag to choose a new keyboard.
    In iOS 6 and later, the language of the keyboard determines the language of the dictionary, if one is available for the language. To get the definition of a word, select the word and tap Define (if it's available).

    Happy Holidays!

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
