My iPad has been disabled due to not having enough storage for backup in iCloud. I attempted to download photos to my computer, however, I get the message that no photos were found. In the meantime, I cannot access my pad.

iPad4 - unable to backup due to lack of iCloud storage . The pad is frozen. Cannot access any info.

However, if the iPad is frozen, a reset may allow you to get back into it again. It hurts nothing to try this. It is like rebooting your computer.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

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 into Recovery Mode

Hey ade17768,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what to do if your device is disabled:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
1. Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
2. If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
3. When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
4. When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
5. Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT1386 ipad has been disabled due to blocked password, how to solve it?

And iTunes cannot connect to it due to the password trouble. How do I solve it???

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode and restore as a new device. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

HT1414 I am unable to restore my device as my ipad has been disabled.

I am unable to restore my device as my ipad has been disabled. This was caused by enetering the incorrect security code too many times. However, i know that security code entered was in fact correct so do not understand why it would not unlock.

No i actually locked my screen straight away after creating the code just to test it. That's what makes it so frustrating is that there is no way the code i entered was wrong. I ended up trying 0000 incase their was a sort of default code but nothing. When setting up the code you have to enter it twice to make sure you don't make an error, so i know i have been entering the right code.

My iPad has been disabled due to not having enough storage for backup in iCloud. I attempted to download photos to my computer, however, I get the message that no photos were found. In the meantime, I cannot access my pad.
