Have tried Apple password too many times now locked out of iPhone and ipad

I Have tried to put Apple password on too many times now I am locked out of iPhone and iPad how do I fix this

If you've disabled your iTunes account (is that what you mean ?) then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your devices by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

‘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.

ITunes 10.3 thinks it's a version below? No ping, locked out from iphone sync

Hi, my iTunes thinks it's a version below for some reason
I have 10.3 installed (Finder says so, iTunes > About says so) but when I try go into ping it gives me the "See what you're missing, upgrade to 10.3" message - I hadn't worried about this too much before but I just updated my iPhone to the OS 5 beta and now iTunes is not letting me sync at all leaving me with a fairly useless and unsyncable iPhone and crippled iTunes.
I have tried re-installing iTunes (Yes I even deleted all the preference files) I have tried iTunes on another account on my macbook and it gives the same error.
I actually do not know a single person that is able to access ping without getting some update error even though everyone is using the latest iTunes.
Please help, I need to sync my iPhone!
Here is a screenshot of the Ping message: http://cl.ly/470n472Q2C442b2k0w3Z

There is no easy way to get around the passcode lock feature. If this were easy to bypass, there wouldn't be much reason to have the feature in the first place.
You can power your iPhone off and on and/or reboot/restart the iPhone by doing an iPhone reset, but this won't get rid of the passcode lock or affect any data or settings. The only way to get rid of a passcode lock that you don't remember is by restoring the iPhone with iTunes.

HT1212 if you cannot remember passcode you selected and get locked out of iphone 4 and it says to connect to itunes and it doesnt work what can you do to have use of your phone again?????

Is there anyway you can enable iphone 4 afer being locked out by entering wrong passcode more than 5 times and it says to connect to itunes and still doesnt work???? so frustrating... apple cannot

HT1414 I never synched my iPad to a computer, and I forgot my passcode and am now locked out. I read that I need to do a restore, but will lose all my files. Is there any way to get into my iPad but NOT lose my photos and files?

I forget my passcode, and got locked out of my iPad. I never synched, so my files aren't backed up. I read that I need to restore, but will lose everything. Is there any other way to not lose my photos and files on my computer?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Outlook 2007 backup help desperately needed

I am moving in less than a week and I desperately need to back up my Outlook to an external drive because my desktop computer
is going on the moving van. I added the Outlook backup add-in today, but it is not working. I have it set (under options) to save to K:\Outlook\outlook backup.pst When I exit Outlook, I get this message: The J:\Outlook\folder does not exist. The file might
have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?
How can I get it to stop looking for a J drive? I don't have anything in my J drive, so even if I choose yes to create it, it is unable
to create the Outlook folder and the system cannot find the path specified.
Steps I have tried so far, which have failed:
1. Reboot the computer
2. Disable and re-enable add-ins
3. Delete and re-install the add-in
4. Try saving to a different external drive

Hi,
Change the backup location of a personal folder to any other drive apart from J:\drive as it doesn’t exist in your computer.
To change the backup location of a personal folder file:-
1. On the File menu, click Backup.
2. Click Options.
3. In the Backup these personal folders files list, click the file you want to change the backup location for, and then change the location in
the Backup the file selected above to this location box.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Save Backup.
I hope the information is helpful.

I'm locked out my iPod what do I need to do

I'm locked out my iPod 2gen

Hello Marcos121
The next step to get your iPod touch back up and working is to put it in recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, through iTunes or iCloud, then you can use that to put the data back on once complete.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
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.

HT201210 Locked out of iPhone 4! Need Help!

I have forgotten my passcode. I locked myself out of my iPhone 4 to where it says, "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes". I go to connect to iTunes to restore to factory settings (i heard it is the only way) but i do not have the latest iOS update. So I have to update first. It finishes but then Itunes says my phoneis locked with passcode so it cannot connect to Itunes. I obviously dont know passcode to apply the update. From there it just stops! Please help!?

Put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, try DFU mode:

IPhone 4 issues- help desperately needed.

Recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and I've had nothing but problems. Firstly the backup I did before the update won't restore to my phone so I've lost everything and now I can't access the Internet unless I'm connected through my wifi. Messages also seem to take forever to send and my battery life is terrible. What I really want is to go back to before the update, I know this won't restore the stuff I've lost but might help with the running of the phone. Although I suppose at some point I would have to update again so I'll settle for ways to fix my growing list of issues. Many thanks for any help you can give.

Nevermind! This puzzling scenario was conquered! The beast is slain! Turns out, I had to trick the app by selecting it, then scrolling up and loading more messages, and then select random smaller texts in the past and delete them all at once. Who knew? Success tastes delicious.
