In an effort to restore my iPad with iTunes on a computer that is not synced to my iPad, it tells me that I must have the passcode, which I do not remember. What do I do now?

You will need to restore the iPad using Recovery Mode. Since you are using a computer that you have never synced with in the past, you will have to erase the device and will lose all content. You will be able to download your purchased content as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the content with in the first place - as long as the content is still available and the downloading of past purchases is available in your country.
Recovery Mode explained here ...

Don't have the serial number to install it. What do I do now?
I bought the Adobe package 5 years ago. I have a new computer, sold the old one, but don't have the serial number to install it. What do I do now?
Need not worry. Your old computer is gone, no worries at all because we cannot retrieve serial numbers from the hardware. If you ever had registered your products (Which I think you would have), you can navigate to adobe.com/account.html. And sign in with the email under which you bought it (Can check with all emails that you have).
For downloading, please navigate to adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html.
Let me know if it went smooth or you had some issues -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm afraid the only thing you can do is the obvious thing, change your password. -
I cannot turn off the asscode which I do not want on mhy ipad. I keep getting a message "iPad is disabled". Yesterday, I updated to iOS7 and was asked

to do that you need to unlock your ipad
to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
to do that you need a greek keboard
to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad

When i try to sync my ipad with the itunes on my computer it gives me an error message. " The sync session failed to start. How can i fix this?? I had to uninstall itunes on my computer because of runtime error R6034.
The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I have a new ipad2 for xmas . I have tried to sync the device to itunes and it is not being seen. I have the latest version of itunes, updated last night, and have several other devices that are seen fine (iphone/ipods).
When I connect the usb direct to the mac iphoto starts but then that is it - itunes will not recognise the device......
I have gone thourgh the suggested support help on the apple website and came to the last point - review community ... so here I am!What you provided is not everything mentioned.
Your Mac is running 10.5.8 or later and iTunes 10?
You are connecting the iPad direct to a USB port on your Mac and you have tried every port?
You have reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service?
If your Mac is running Snow Leopard - 10.6, have you checked this link?

Is there someone online that can help me with sync problems between my iPad2 and my iTunes on the desktop. Running MS Windows 7.
Have you ever synced with this computer before? If you did, have you synced with another computer since then?

HT1918 i left a job and had ipad with itunes, i need to remove my american express from my ipad
also need to get rid of itunes for my iphone 5 as well
What I would do if handing back those devices is:
1. go into your iCloud account settings and disable find my iPhone.
2. go into settings->general->reset->Erase all content and settings
That will remove activation lock (1) so the next person who gets the device can activate it, and two, will delete all of your personal information, documents and data (basically renders the device back to the original pre-activation state it was in out of the box). -

i created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the device is password enabled, Please somebody helpme
If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started. -
Downloaded latest IOS 7.0.2 and it crashed my iphone 4. Now Ive got nothing and it wont restore when connected with Itunes cos Error Message 4005 comes up. Cant find it listed anywhere. Help
Hi!
It looks like there might be some security settings or software on your laptop that's preventing the restore process from working.
Check out this article in Apple's support. It shows you the steps you can take to try to get around error 1611.
Like diesel vdub said, a DFU-mode restore might give you success where a regular restore might not, so maybe you can try that.
What you need to do is put your phone into DFU mode, which is a low-level mode that helps the restore process get a little more done, or it can help iTunes get around certain roadblocks (hopefully like the one you're experiencing!). Your computer will install special DFU-iPhone drivers for it, and then iTunes will see it as a phone that needs restoring.
To get your phone into DFU mode:
Plug your phone into your laptop.
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the power/lock button. Keep it held in, even after the display turns on and you see something on the screen. As soon as you see something on the screen, start holding the home button as well as the power button, so that they're being pressed together.
Keep both buttons pressed down for 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds, release the power button, but keep holding home until the laptop sees a new USB device. Once you see that, you're in DFU mode, and you can let go of buttons. Your iPhone screen will be blank during it all, even though it's actually on, in DFU mode.
Now your restore should work!
If your phone shows the Apple logo or anything else while you're trying to get it into DFU mode, then something went wrong. Try the steps again. If it suddenly starts up normally again, try reducing the time to a bit less than 10 seconds--try reducing it by about a second at a time. It should work! -

My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer. It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?
Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard. -
I did an update on my ipod touch, now it says it is in restore mode. i don't want to lose my info, but my ipod won't do anything now. thanks itunes; it was working fine until i did the update you said i needed. what do i do now??????
No one here said anything about an update or your device needing it.
FYI, you are not addressing Apple here, we are all users like yourself.
If the device is in recovery mode, the only option is to restore it. All data on the device is gone. This should not be an issue if the device has been used as designed and regularly synced/backed up.
