HT1414 My iPad is locked and not being recognized by my computer. How can I unlock it?

My kids changed the iPad lock code and it is now locked. I am connecting the iPad to my computer, but it is not recognizing it.
Is there another way to unlock it?

If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Forgotten Passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Ipad 2 lock button not working after screen replacement

I replaced the screen of Ipad2. Afterward, the power button is only working when I turn it on or off, but did not work for locking the screen neither with assistive touch. And another issue is when the divece is rebooted, after the apple logo desepears normally we can see the start screen, but in this case the screen stays black after the apple logo desepears untill I pushed the home button. (IOS 7.1.2)
Please advise, thanks

If you replaced the screen through a 3rd party or yourself, you have void all warranty and support.
If it's a 3rd party or Apple, bring it back.

Are Orange UK supplied iPads sim locked?

Basically, as the subject says, I am looking to get an iPad from Orange UK on contract, but I want to know if they are sim locked?
I have asked in the store and they don't seem to know, can anyone enlighten me?
Cheers

I don't know if Orange contract iPads are locked or not, but I would like to know as well. I don't know whether to get my iPad from Orange on a contract, or to buy it outright and get a cheaper data plan.
I did ask at the 3 Store about their contract iPads. I was told that their iPads are locked to 3 within the UK and won't accept other UK networks' SIM cards, but that they will accept foreign SIM cards when used abroad. I thought that sounded strange, but the store manager got their training manual out and that's the info they were given. Is that even possible?

I have 2nd gen Ipad which I recently updated to ios 6.1.2 and my auto cover lock does not work, so is the lock button, i cannot lock my ipad manually!!

I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
It got really annoying when I tried to use the lock button and it wont lock the sceen!! To test whether the button was allright, I did a long press and the message came if I wanted to shut down the ipad. So the button works fine, but I cannot use it to manually lock the ipad. Now the only way to lock the ipad is to wait for 2 mins (autolock) and still I cannot wake up the Ipad using the lock button. To do that I have to use the Home Screen button
Does any one else have similar issues and any solutions pls!! Cheers

The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

HT1766 A message popup tells me that my ipad has not backed up in two weeks. Now my ipad is locked and I cannot cancel the message, turn it off or slide to unlock. What do i do?

I have a pop up message on my IPad that says it has not backed up in two weeks and now my ipad is locked and I cannot use it. I connected it to electricity, it is already on Wifi, and locked it with the button on top. But the message has not gone away. I cannot turn it off or remove the message or or slide to unlock. What can I do?

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

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

My iPad is locked and it says to connect to iTunes, and iTunes will not let me connect.

Oh - I see that you have that article linked to your post above. Read the entire paragraph in item #1. It tells you what to do if it is asking for a passcode.

Smart cover lock option not show in setting in new ipad

hi
i have a new ipad 64 wi-fi 4g and i used smart cover.
when i conected smart cover to new ipad, in setting>general not show smart lock.
plese help me

Mine did not show up until I ran a kitchen magnet along the edge of the iPad. I heard a click and then when I went to Settings, the option was there. I had a cover that was SUPPOSED to work with the new iPad, but the magnet was in the wrong spot, apparently. I discovered the locationproblem by using the magnet trick............and in the process, managed to activate the smart cover option

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
Instead of dragging the red slider, press and hold the Home button for six seconds.

It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything. When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
The ipad's clock has also stopped.
eek

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

My Ipad is locked - not by me

My Ipad is locked - and it is not by me. I don now the opening code - do any member here know what i can do.
My Iphone has also been used by "find my Iphone" but not by me either. But it is not locked.
Another strange thing happened thismorning: All my data on my Idisk is gone.
Have all this mess an connection
Any help will be appreciated - Frank

It all sounds to bizarre to be random in my opinion. You can read this about the passcode. You will have to restore the iPad via iTunes to the computer that you first synced with.

Not sure about the iPhone and I have no clue about iDisk as I do not use the service.
