IPad suddenly reads only "connect to iTunes"

My iPad was working fine, then all of a sudden went dead with the apple logo only.   I pressed Home button and power button at same time and "connect to iTunes" was displayed only.   I connected to my laptop and it gave me only the option to restore to factory settings.   Will this completely wipe all of my photos and apps OFF of my iPad?   Is there any other way to unlock or salvage all of my data?

Hi allyworm,
I'm sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your iPad. A Factory Restore will remove all data and settings from your iPad, but so long as you have been backing up to either iCloud or iTunes, you should be able to restore your data from the backup. If so, you may find the following article helpful:

  • My ipad mini says to connect to itunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back

    My iPad mini says to connect to iTunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back, i just want my iPad restored to its starting settings.

    If everything else that you try fails, I would try using another computer. Since you don't care about saving any data, any computer that is running the latest version of iTunes might be able to restore the iPad. You could make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and they can do it for you.
    If that isn't feasible for you, try using a different cable, a different USB port. reboot the computer, and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then try again.

  • My brand new iPad 4 won't connect to iTunes on my PC.

    My brand new iPad 4 won't connect to iTunes on my PC.  When first connected to the USB port this mornng, iPad appeared under devices in iTunes, but it soon disappeared.  I waited and reconnected using a different USB port, and "iPad" appeare for a short time, and I was able to transfer some files to my iPad.  But the connection was broken again.  This last attempt, "iPad" appeared for about 30 seconds, and then nothing. The iPad is two days old!  What can I do?

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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 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.
     Cheers, Tom

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

    You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port. (Make sure you have the latest version of iTune on your computer)
    2. 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 turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • Read-only connection and other connection questions

    Apologies if this is a FAQ (and if it is please point me to them if this is the case) but I've just made the transistion from Toad to SQL Developer and struggling to find the equivelent of a couple of very useful features.
    1 ) Read-Only connection: In Toad it is possible to set a connection to read-only via a checkbox. This meant for most of the time you would browse the live DB but when required you could uncheck the box and perform updates i.e. no seperate user required.
    2) Colour Coded Connections: In Toad is is possible to assign a colour to your connection and all windows you opened for that connection would inherit the colour. Typically Red for Live, Green for Dev etc.
    3) Hide tabs for non active connections: When you have multiple connections open you only saw tabs for the current connection. All others were hidden until their connect was selected.
    I've had a look around SQL Dev and cant see these options but may have missed them. Are there similiar options in SQL Developer?

    There are feature requests for points 1 and 2 but AFAIK they are not yet implemented.
    I dont remember any feature request for point 3, but maybe i've missed it.

  • Is it a bad idea to use a single read only Connection?

    I am developing a client/server application, where each client request executes in a separate thread. Currently i create a new Connection object for ANY database access. I am wondering if there is any advantage changing this, to use a single Connection object for read only access, but still creating new Connection objects for read/write access.
    Does anyone have any opinions on this matter?
    I am aware that if i go with this approach, and someone causes a SQL exception on the read only connection that it will be closed. Right now this appears to be the main disadvantage to this approach.

    I don't like the single, read-only connection idea.ack
    A single connection throughout the execution of the
    application has several security disadvantages. It is
    also less scalable. I've read other problems
    associated with it but I none come to mind at the
    moment.What are the security implications that you speak of?
    I think for the type of application i am developing,database security is not a concern, as all users are able to access the same tables.
    Basically in our application, the security is in the application domain, not the database.
