Ipad and Itunes just will not work - see details in my post
My IPAD2 is fropzen with the message: IPAD IS DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES. Theother problem is Itunes does not run - it gives me some mesage about running the English language version (it's al;ways geen that). Nor will myu OS (win 8) let me remove, repair or download another copy.
Anyu ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

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.
Cheers, Tom

My daughter has an iphone, ipod and we have a family ipad. for some reason face time will not work. it rings in but the connection is never made. I even had her phone into verizon and they couldn't figure out why facetime wouldn't work. Anyone have any ideas on how we can correct this. It cannot be her phone because it's doing the same thing on her ipod, I cannot get facetime even to call out on our ipad. My oldest daughter has the iphone and a MAC in the same household and hers are working?
Alot of people are having problems with FaceTime.
Are you're devices updated? -
I dropped my ipad, and now it will not work.
The screen went black, and when I press the power button it only gets a bit lighter. I have tried resetting it, by holding the home button and the power button at the same time, and the screen gets lighter, though the Apple logo will not appear. :/
I would make an appointment at the Apple store and have them look at it. It will likely require an out of warranty repair wich the cost will vary by iPad model.

I have an ipad1 and the wifi will not work. It is a wifi only model which makes it more interesting. When I go into settings, it says "no wifi". Does anyone have a solution to my problem? It is much appreciated.
If you are positive there is a good Wi-Fi signal in the area of the iPad I would first reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work, I would turn off your iPad and then restart your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Once the router had completed its restart process and established a link to the Internet then turn your iPad on. Make sure Settings > Wi-Fi> On. -
i have the i phone four and just uploaded to my computer and now it will not work has the apple logo with a long oval bar under it
It may be that it is stuck loading. You will want to probably first attempt a Hard Reset (Home Button + Power Button for 5-10s until it restarts with an Apple Logo then let it load up) and see if this will get it working.

Please help! Itunes fails to open on my macbook pro. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and it still will not work!
Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all
Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down. -

I've just edited all my apple id information and my iMessage will not work at all, can anyone help?
Try tapping Settings > FaceTime, turning FaceTime Off, editing the Apple ID associated with FaceTime, and then turning it back on.
If that doesn't do it, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation -
I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work. I started the download and it said that it had 6 hours remaining, so i just left it overnight. The next morning it was working fine, but the ios 6 didn't download. I looked at it later and it had the turning on screen with the loading bar under it. It stayed like that for a while and the bar didn't move. I needed to use my phone so I tried to make it go to the home screen, but nothing happened. I held down the lock and home button for a few seconds and everything went black. I tried to turn it back on and all it has done all day is stayed on the turning on screen. I tried plugging it into the wall, and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to iTunes, and nothing happened. I don't know what I need to do to get it to work.
OMG is working OMG OMG OMG Thanks alot dude!

I turned off the power to my apple tv whilst updating and now it will not work, i have tried to restore using usb but it says unable to find. any help please?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you following these instructions.
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore. -
My IPhone 4s is freezing up and the wifi will not work. This happened after the update. I have tried to restore it and that did not fix it. Any suggestions?
Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again. -
I have an Iphone 5 on contract with T-mobile/EE. The lock button on my Phone 5 has stopped working completely. It just will not work anymore so I have to rely on the auto-lock . Will apple replace my phone or do I ahve to take it back to T-mobile? It is just short of a year into a 24 month contract.
Yes; If it's under the one year hard ware warrnety and it doesn't have any damage on the device you can get it replaced, contact Apple ASAP
