I think you are going to have to use recovery mode to gain access to your iPad:
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.

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

    Hi guys I cant turn on wifi on on my ipad ios 7 1.2 I try restore network and didn't work please help

    I Don't know what you did in order to restore your network. I'm not sure what that means exactly. But take a look at this, if your WiFi settings are greyed out.

  • I want to swap my 3rd generation 64gb 3G ipad, for the same as a mini. However cellular is confusing me, can I get 3G on a cellular ipad? Please help

    I want to swap my 3rd generation 64gb 3G ipad, for the same as a mini. However cellular is confusing me, can I get 3G on a cellular ipad? Please help.  Want to put the sim I take out of the ipad into the mini. On the apple shop website, the cellular model is £100 more expensive then the 3G one, however in currys it only sells cellular. I do not want to make a mistake it's a lot of money.

    3G and cellular are different ways of referring to the same thing, they can use the mobile networks for data. The cellular/3G models are £100 more than the wifi-only version.
    The 3rd gen iPad uses a micro-sim card, the Mini iPads use smaller nano-sim cards, so you won't ba able to use the same sim card.

  • How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

    How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
    Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
    Was it online prior to this incident happening?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    Try This - Renew IP Address:
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Hook your iPad into your computer and open iTunes. GIve it a couple of minutes to get going, then click on the name of your device, then the main summary page. In the middle you'll see a software update button/area. Click on check on updates and update and follow the prompts.
    it SHOULDN"T redownload but if you've already got it should just install.
    I'd suggest that you first do a complete sync before you update, that way you have a good backup to restore your device from if the upgrade doesn't go perfect.

    Hi I cannot sign up to my iCloud account I forgot the password I want to buy some additional GB to my iPad..please help me what to do

    Please be aware that you cannot "buy some additional GB to [your] iPad"; the storage capacity of the iPad is fixed at the time of manufacture. You can buy additional iCloud storage, but that's not the same thing.
