Ipad mini unable to enter code to unlock

When I turn on my ipad mini I am unable to enter a code to unlock the ipad mini and it shows searching at top left of screen,  is it possible I have a virus and how do I get rid of it? Thanks

You don't have a virus since there aren't any.
Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

    Hey there Ajjusingh,
    It sounds like the passcode you are entering for your Restrictions is not working for you. According to the following article you will need to perform a factory restore to reset that passcode:

    Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

    ‘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 cancelling 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.

  • My ipad mini screen will not slide to unlock

    My IPad mini screen will not unlock. It was fine one minute and the next, I couldn't slide it to unlock it.

    Does anything happen when you touch the screen, the slider doesn't get a box around it (which would indicate VoiceOver being 'on') ?
    If not then have you tried a soft-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.

  • IPad mini: unable to determine location.

    Just got an iPad mini wifi 16 gig. LOVE IT! But for some reason it's unable to determine my location in ANY location based app (including apple maps). I've made sure that I have location services turned on. Any one have an idea of what the deal is?

    I have heard this type of discussion before that something needs to be registered.  I have DSL and know somebody else that has DSL from the same provider.  He lives in a small town and I live rural.  His location services works on his iPad at his home and so does mine when I am at his location but not at my rural home location.  So I know it cannot be that the DSL provider network needs to be registered.  There is another issue - maybe still a registration but not just the provider.  Any ideas?  I really would like to get this figured out.  There are quite a few apps that try to determine my location and cannot.

  • IPad Mini - Unable to open mobi files into another app...

    Just got an iPad mini and it appears that I can't open mobi files on my Kindle app. I also have an iPad3 and I have no problems opening mobi files on my Kindle app on it.
    Basically I put my mobi e-books on skydrive and when I want to put them in the Kindle app I just select to open the files in another app and I can select the Kindle app. I am unable to do this with my iPad mini.
    Both my iPad3 and Mini are running IOS 6.1.3. I did some google searches and found that this may be an issue with some iPads running 6.1.3. I installed a file manager app on my Mini and it appears that it sees the mobi files as rar format files so it does not give me the option to open them with the Kindle app.
    Does anyone know if there is a fix for this issue? I was planning on using my Mini as my primary e-book reader and I was hoping to be able to do this without having to convert all my mobi files into mother format
    Any help resolving this issue will be much appreciated!

    After trying various different things and resetting my Mini to factory default several times I was able to figure out how to open the mobi files I have on Skydrive and Dropbox in my Kindle app.
    I had to delete both my Skydrive and Dropbox apps and do it through the web browser.  I was able to download the mobi file with Safari and open the file in the Kindle app.
    Firest I reset my Mini setup and installed only the Kindle, Skydrive and Dropbox apps.  I could not open a mobi file into the Kindle app with either The Skydrive or Dropbox app.  I even reset my Mini and installed the Kindle app with just Skydrive and then reset it again and tried with just Kindle and Dropbox installed I could not get it work.
    Finally, I reset again and installed only the Kindle app and used Skydrive through Safari and it worked just fine.  I tested it with Dropbox and Safari and it also worked. 
    So basically, for whatever reason, my iPad Mini just can not open mobi files into the kindle app using either the Skydrive or Dropbox app.  However, my iPad3 running the same IOS and app versions can do it just fine.  Go figure...

  • IPod 30GB - Enter Code To Unlock

    A week ago i plugged my iPod into my computer and it didnt get recognised. So I unplugged it and it got froze on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. I tryed restarting it. But it was just froze on this screen. I came to it today to see if it had unfroze. Well now its asking me for a code to unlock it. I havent set a code or anything. Is there a way to get my iPod back to normal?

    Connect iPod to the computer you normally use it with (the first one that the iPod synced with) and open iTunes. Then disconnect the iPod from the computer and it should no longer be locked.
    You can also restore the iPod.

  • Unable to enter code for a game in C3

    I have downloaded a Midnight Pool 2 demo from the Nokia Ovi Store through my mobile, purchased code for P50 from Smart, my provider, it will not allow me to enter code in the code box is it that I'm using qwerty keys, no matter what I press it will not enter any characters. Please advice thanks
    I have emailed gameloft support and got no reply.

    Hello,
    If  the code you need to enter are numbers, you need to press the "function" key first (in the bottom left corner of the keyboard).
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod Classic is suddenly asking me to "Enter Code to Unlock".  Is there a default?

    I have been letting my 8 year old son use my old iPod.  It's the the old classic video iPod, 30GB, software version is 1.3 and says it's up to date.  Serial number is 4V544C1WTXK (I don't know if that matters or not).  He has been listening to music and playing games on it for months now without a problem.  And it has never asked for a code to unlock it.  I have never set one.  He may have by accident but does not know a code either.
    Is there a default code to unlock it?  If not is there a way to reset the code?  I can't use the iPod at all now.  I just replaced the battery in it so I really need to get it working.
    Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Okay so I just did a factory restore.  It seems to be working fine now although I lost everything stored on it.

  • Unable to enter code to connect to wi-fi network

    In the lobby of a motel with wi-fi network. The instructions was that upon initial connection the network would ask for a code which was to be entered. I went to setting, selected wi-fi and the name of the network it found. The Ipad brought up a new page containing a sign-in form. When I selected the entry block to start the typing of the code the keyboard came up but then the key board went away before I could enter a letter. I tried it several times. Getting faster I was able to enter 4 of the letters. But the numbers were impossible because it took two actions on the keyboard to get a number.

  • Enter code for unlocking sim card

    i saw this option in the menu of the SETTINGS of my n900 since i update its firmware. i enter the pin code of my my sim but it says wrong code.i also tried the lock code but its wrong also. i am just worried coz i will travel to other country next week,and would not be able to use another sim card for my n900. i didnt tried to put the new sim card yet because it will automatically overwrite my prepaid internet settings.
    i just want to know if i can still use other sim card without asking for a code. is my phone locked now since i update the firmware?
     thanks!

    I'm not 100% sure but I think it's for any future simlocked handsets where you'd enter the unlock code from your network.
    Also I wouldn't worry about your internet settings when switching simcards because when you switch back, your handset should reset all of your internet setting back to normal again
