HT4061 my Ipad mini has been disabled.  How can I get back in?

Hello - I down loaded the new ISO 07 software today. I was asked for my passcode...not sure what this meant and tried a few pass words which didn't get me in. Now I realize this must have meant for me to enter my Apple Pass word.  Now when I enter it, my IPad has been disabled.  Can you unlock it for me?  Do you still need the serial number?  I have it, but not sure if you need it.

a passcode set up feature was added to ios7, even if you didn't have one before. It appears that some users had a passcode applied without knowing it during the installation.
This article contains instructions on what to do if your device is disabled:

  • Java has been disabled, how can I get it back?

    Java has been disabled, how can I get it back? It seems that Apple has decided that Java has two many security problems and has disabled it. I need Java to run GeoGebra. What can I do? I tried downloading the latest update from Oracle JRE-7u13.

    Yes it does. Also, if you were using iOS 7+ and had Find my iPhone activated, you will need your apple id and password to be able to use the phone again.

    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.

    My Apple ID has been disabled, how can I fix it so it is enabled?

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT4993 Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

    Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

    If you mean the built-in Maps app, you can't delete it.  Search all your screens and inside all your folders.  You can also use Spotlight search on your phone to locate it and if it's inside a folder, the name of the folder will show to the right of the Maps icon.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

  • My Apple ID has been disabled; How do I get it back?

    I feel like "Peggy" on the Visa commercial when I called help support at Apple.  I dont know if it happened during the "iCloud" movement...but I got an automated email stating that I have purchased something and it is awaiting to be downloaded...I checked my iTunes account and a new person with all their contact information was in my iTunes.  I honestly dont think anything fraudulent was happening...just something went wrong.
    I contacted via the email option...I recd an email back a day later and called me "Peggy"...since this is the new person in my account now...several emails later and many mentions that my name was not Peggy...I still was referred to as Peggy...I was getting no where fast.
    I called the Apple help and got nowhere...they stated since I was already being "helped"...they were not able to help...whatever....I emailed my person again...only to be told to I need to create a new apple ID....that my old ID someone already had.....dah!!!!  I still am the owner of the old ID????
    So, I created a new ID...new email address to get into itunes through my laptop....
    Here is the issue...when I log into iTunes through my iPhone...it states my Apple ID has been disabled....my iPad as well.
    Please someone help me.....I want my old ID back since it is mine....I want my old (current) email...back. 
    Thanks...
