  • Ipad disabled after upgrading to IOS7.

    Ipad disabled after upgrading to IOS7.

    I called Apple support. The tech stated he had the same problem himself.
    He tried to have me restore my ipad from the backup on my MAC. This resulted in an error message stating my device did not have authority to be restored. The tech put me on hold to research further and Apple dropped my call. I'm hoping the Genius Bar guys have an answer which is where I'm heading next.

  • My front camera will not work after I downloaded the IOS 7.0.4 .. Why is that ?

    I'm not able to do calls with my iphone 4 after i download the ios 5.0.1...

    Please describe the symptoms. Also, where did you get the phone, who is your carrier, is the phone officially unlocked by Apple or the carrier, or was it "unofficially" unlocked if you are not using it with the carrier it was originally locked to.

  • Passcode entered incorrectly several times  now device only shows an apple on the screen...what do i do

    passcode entered incorrectly by son several times...now all that shows is an apple on the screen...what do i do

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Maybe because you are entering it incorrectly. Passwords are case sensitive. Are you sure that you are typing it correctly?
    You could try signing out of your ID and then sign in again and see if that helps. You can sign out at the bottom of the window in the App Store featured tab. Tap on your ID and sign out, then sign in again.

  • My iPhone is disabled after I downloaded iOS7. They are asking me a passcode even I never set up.

    I never set up a passcode on my iPhone 4 why they are asking me to do?
    My iPhone is still disabled since I downloaded iOS 7 this morning.

    That happened to me and it was a mess, install it at work with there wifi and it disabled my phone.  I do not have internet at home or a computer, just my iphone and ipad.  You will nee either itunes and a computer, or you will have to have your ime number, then you have to erase your phone. to do that you go to find my phone and it will give you that option.  Then when you erase your phone, then you have to call your carrier and they hook it up again to the inernet.   Those are the only two ways you can do it.  If you have icloud already you don't lose everything just your music.  your apps just go to update and you can reload them again.

  • Ipad disabled after updating to ios 8

    I updated my ipad 2 to ios 8 and it asked for a password, I never had a lock on this device, I guessed the same one I have on my iPhone but that didn't work, now it is completely disabled.   I don't have iTunes and never plugged this iPad into a computer.
    Everything is pointing now to losing all my data, but I cannot!! there are pictures of my best friend that passed away in January, I cannot lose those!  I see lots of people are having this problem  PLEASE help me get my pictures. They are very dear to me.

    MeganTD,
    I completely understand how you feel.  This has happened to me as well when I updated to IOS 8 when it first came out and now I can't get into my Ipad.  The difference is that I actually had a passcode on it and just typed it in just like the million other times I did and it says that the passcode was "wrong."  I thought it was just a mistake so I did it again and it said it was "wrong again, please try in 15 minutes."  This went on for about a day and when I tried to login again with the passcode it completely locked me out to where it says to "connect to itunes" which I did but the Ipad doesn't show up unless I put it into recovery mode, which doesn't help either because I don't want to restore my Ipad until I back it up first. 
    I even took it to the apple store to the genius bar and explained my situation and they couldn't even help me, saying that unless you have a backup on your computer there is no way to recover your data on your ipad before restoring it.  I thought that was completely ridiculous that it wasn't my fault that the Ipad is disabled after updating to IOS 8 and that there is absolutely NO WAY of recovering your data.  I even asked if there was 3rd party software that could backup the ipad before recovering and they couldn't give me that information either. 
    I have been looking all around the internet for a solution but to no avail.  I hope there is some information out there that can help us because there has to be SOME WAY that you can get into your ipad and backup without having to rely just on itunes and icloud.

  • Ipad disabled after wrong password, is there a reset option?

    Our iPad 2 (running iOS 7) is disabled, after six attempts at the password which had been changed 24 hours earlier, it appears to be permanently disabled.
    I have work files in apps that were not backed up, is there anyway to recover from this stage? 
    Please help.

    ‘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.

  • HT5824 my ipad disabled after I closed it. I turned it on said ipad is disabled? Since 10S7 this has been an ongoing problem. I have not even touched the password it just disables on its own

    My Ipad was disabled after I turned it off. I turned it back on 'ipad is disabled' connect to ITunes!
    Why would it disable afer turning it off. I did not have a password issue. Not even once.
    I have not synced on Itunes on my system sincen this Ipad was synced at the Apple Store.
    Is there a way to connect on my pc to my Ipad from Icloud and restore my Ipad without loosing
    everything? Or do I need to reset yet again. This would be the fourth time starting from scratch!
    I had been Ipad replaced recently due to numerous problems with IOS7 including bluetooth problems
    with my keyboard, freezing - crazy making issues and most importantly I lost all data on my pages
    app and all contacts etc. and my ipad disabled itself after begin turned off!
    Now with the new one, my same problem! What is going on? What am I not getting.
    Prior to I0s& my Ipad performed beautifully. Now I do not feel I can trust this technology.
    Any ideas?

    Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

  • I cannot open ipad 2 after i update to ios 7..only the apple logo keeps on displaying..please help..

    I cannot open my ipad 2 after update to ios 7..only the apple logo keeps on displaying..please help..

    Power-cycling or connecting to iTunes didn't fix the issue.  However the iPad did restart, trying to install the update but it didn't complete and received a error once again.  And now the iPad is stuck on the update screen with the progression bar beneath the apple.
    The error reads, "The iPad could not be updated.  An unknown error occurred (6)."

  • IPad locked after update today to iOS 7.0.6

    Today, after the update to iOS 7.0.6 was completed, I got the Apple logo with a progress line under it that didn't move for ages. Finally I hit the Home button, and got the iTunes logo with a USB cable leading to it. It has been stuck like that for hours. I've tried to connect to iTunes to back up what I have on the iPad (mostly  irreplaceable vacation photos), but my computer is calling for installation software for the iPad. It's been 3 years since we got this iPad as a gift and I honestly can't remember if we got a software CD with it.  Can anyone tell me if I should have a CD? And if I don't have one (which I've been searching for for 2 hours!), can I get one? Or is there some other way to get beyond this iTunes screen and get my iPad back?? Thank you so much!

    There is no software CD with the iPad.
    If you connect to iTunes on your computer exactly what happens? Can you restore your iPad as new with iTunes?

    Please help ,,After last night when i change my pas code on my I phone . and not enter the correct code my phone is disabled..please help me fix it

    Please use the article that I've linked to you.  That's how you resolve your issue. 
    Follow the steps of the article.
    What steps have you taken so far?
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    When you set up a passcode to secure the use of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and then enter the wrong passcode, you may see a a message saying your device is "disabled". Learn what to do if you have forgotten or can't remember your passcode, or if your device displays a message saying it is disabled.
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
    iPhone is disabled
    iPad is disabled
    iPod touch is disabled
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"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.Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
