‘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.

After updating and installing an icloud update for my 4th gen itouch, itunes crashed and doesnt recognize my new iphone, or any of my previous devices. All of my songs are gone too. How do I restore my itunes back to the way it was?

Please Help. Has anyone else experienced this crash? I spoke to support, and they hinted that this might be a common problem.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Changed the battery in my ipod touch. now the only thing it does is shows the apple logo. tried the resets, tried to go through itunes. computer doesnt recognize its plugged up

i just installed a new battery into my wifes ipod touch. after charging it all night, all it will do is show the apple logo. ive tried reseting, ive tried going through itunes. doesnt respond to either. the computer doesnt even reconize that its hooked up. please help me.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Creative Soft. doesnt recognize device, Windows Media Player does.. please he

I used the "Removable Storage" function to transfer a .doc file between my computer and another. Later, I wanted to organize the music already on the device using Zen Micro Media Explorer, but this program, nor Creative Mediasource, etc, recognized the device as being plugged in. At that time, I was not even in "Removable Storage" mode anymore, I even disabled it completely to see if that did the trick. Windows Media Player does recognize the device as being plugged in, and the device's LCD screen also displays it as "Docked".
What do I do? Please help me.

bananazebra,
If you're using firmware 2.xx.xx then the primary application to sync with the player will be Windows Media Player 0. If you wanted to use MediaSource or Media Explorer then you will either need to download the Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices or the correct Media Explorer that support PlaysForSure devices. Both are available at the download page.

ITunes 8.1 doesnt recognize iPod Touch

Ever since I upgraded my itunes to 8.1 it doesn't recognize my ipod. I even plugged in my friends ipod touch and it doesn't recognize his either. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled numerous times. restarted my cpu. shut it off for a day, but it still wont recognize the ipod. any help is much appreciated.

OK so i am in the exact same boat as you guys.....I also upgraded to the "latest and greatest" and got stuck with a version of iTunes that wont see my iPod Touch...I have tried
uninstall then reinstall
disconnecting internet cable before plugging ipod in (saw tht somewhere,,not to much hope)
Going into msconfig and shutting down all possible conflicts
Turning off any and all antivirus, internet filtering, and firewall software
Putting iPod in DFU mode
Restoring on other computer than connecting
Reseting ipod
I am completely at a loss and would love to use my iPod again
I am really hoping apple will fix this before i give up....

I can change the name of my music, the names of albums and stuffs in my itunes.. but in my iphone nothing change after the sync ..; What should I do? HELP!

(Sorry about the bad english!)

If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

I tried to change the name of my device and now I cant sync anything and it says there is a problem with the disk and when I changed the name back it still said the same thing so I restored my ipod (not from itunes but on the ipod itsself)

And now its saying my ipod is corrupt. None of my stuff was erased from itunes it was only erased from my ipod so why am I not able to just sync everything back onto my ipod? why is it doing this now? I think this is ridiculous that just changing one name would do this much damage.

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.
