HT201274 iPad restored but still locked out. Help!

I have an iPad 1 and it became disabled after I repeatedly input the wrong 4-digit codes. I tried to restore it but the iPad keeps asking for the 4-digit code. Is there any way around this?

Place the iPad in Recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.

I have restored my ipad because for some reason I am locked out of it. I still cannot get on because it is asking me for the password. The password I have been using is not taking. How do i unlock my ipad

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I can not restore it because itunes is requesting the phone be unlocked. I can not unlock the phone because the iphone only says plug into itunes... I can pull up am IMEI and ICCID or make an emergenC call thats it

You can put the iphone into recovery mode to restore it.
Disconnect the USB cable from your iPhone, but leave the other side connected to your Mac or PC
Launch iTunes.
Press and hold down the Home and Sleep/Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the iPhone.
Press and continue to hold the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on.
Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes informing you that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected.

Ipad suddenly runs only in a low resolution. Did an itunes restore, but still same problem.

Ipad2 is stuck in a low resolution, icons are large, can't see normal screens. I shut down and restarted the ipad but did not help. Did an itunes Restore, but still same problem. It's like the resolution is now stuck at a high resolution. Anyone seen this problem?

Yes, I just discovered it before getting your reply. Evidently I 3-fingered the screen without knowing it.
I thought I had corrected my "low/high" error, but guess not. ( my first try at posting).
Your comment is right on target.
Thanks, problem solved.

Want to restore computer using Time Machine, but am locked out of my accoun

Due to an apparently common problem with Snow Leopard, I restarted to find all users unavailable for login. The info is all still there, but I can not log in--have tried all solutions listed here. THing is:
Everything is backed up using Backup and Time Machine. Is there any way to bring my computer back with Time Machine WITHOUT logging in as my old user? Or do I have everything I need but am locked out of using it? Many thanks!

Yes. See #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Also: can not seem to start up using my install CD (Leopard)
To restore a Snow Leopard backup, you must use a Snow Leopard Install disc.
and my partitioned drive is also Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Mysterious.
If in doubt, re-format it in step (c) of #14.

I tried to restore in normal mode and DFU mode, both of it still give me error (9).
I tried using other cable and computer but it still the same.
Anyone out there having the same issue that can share?
Is this a hardware or software issue? My warranty already over and have to solve this problem by myself.
Please help.

Did you check your security software settings?
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

Hello, I can´t active my iPad because appears the following mesage: "Not Enough Storage, This iPad cannot backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. You can manage your storage in settings". I did click on Settings but still locked.

Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should restart. This will have no affect on your data.

I cannot read, use my iPad outdoors? Cannot read books, surf the net; nothing. Apple sold me a screen guard to helpmwith the glare, 've adjusted the settings to just about every combination but still nothing. HELP!!

Turning the brightness up as much as possible will help a little. However, as Skydiver notes, screens like those used in tablets and cell phones don't work well in bright sun. That's why I have a Kindle for reading outside. Not to mention, I'd feel a lot less awful if I got sand in a $100 ereader than if I got it in my $700 iPad.

You may want to try this.
Solution A
Start up your MBP while pressing Option (alt)|, Command, P, R until your hear 3 chimes rather than 2 as indicated by apple. This worked for me the first time.
Solution B
Start your MBP while pressing Option (alt), Command, S
Hold until you see the computer automatic routine. When it finally stops type the following followed by "return":
fsck -fy
It will probably indicate some problem related to "pcscd.pub" (should be 16 instead of 17). I haven't figured out what this means but somewhere in the Internet i read it is related to scan cards...
More importantly this routine will fix any problems with your HDD similarily to disk repair. When it ends, it will tell you if it has fixed/modified anything. If it has, run the routine again by typing again "fsck -fy"
Lastly, reboot by typing "reboot" (followed by "return")
Solution C
Start up your MBP while pressing option (alt), command, S
hold keys until you see computer commands scrolling
when the routine stops type the following, each line followed by the "return" key:
mount -uw /
chmod 775 /
chmod 1775 /
reboot
After which your computer should reboot on it's own.
Each of the above has worked for me at one time or another. Once your computer has rebooted from the DVD you can reinstall OS X. If your problems started after installing 10.5.6, then I don't suggest updating until 10.5.5.
I'm very very disappointed with my 2007 MBP, it started to give me problems after 1 year. had to change the HDD and lately when I isntalled 10.5.6 it suddenly refused to start up., My previous Mac laptop (2003 866Mhz) worked for 4 years without a hitch. Ironically I've had to use it to access the internet and find solutions for my current MBP.
best of luck

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 canceling 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.

Camera connection kit works not with iPad 2, but still with iPad 1

Since I have my iPad 2 i can't import my photos by the kit in the iPad 2, but still works on iPad 1.
I don't know why, because no error messages are displayed or something else.
In both cases I used the same accessories (SD-Card) and the iPads are the "big" versions incl. the 3G.
Could anyone can help me?

Try:
1) To restart (reboot) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons until the Apple Logo appears, about 10
seconds.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset. To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
3) If it's still bad, you can try a restore from within itunes. (Sync first)

My Ipad has hung up on a book that I downloaded and was reading. I cannot turn the page or exit the book. I can get to my ipad desktop but still cannot close the book.

I icannot turn the page or exit the book. I can still ge to my ipad desktop but
still canno close out the book.

Quit iBooks and restart the iPad and then try the book again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
