My ipad has locked me out, how do I unlock without losing anything

Help

You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

    My ipod touch has locked me out how do I unlock it?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • HT4623 My Ipad has locked me out. It says ipad has not been backed up. Needs to be plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. How do I fix this?

    My ipad has locked me out. It says ipad hasnt been backed up. Needs to be plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. It won't let me do anything. How do I fix it?

    Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    Hi my mini ipad has locked me out and says connect to Itunes but it wont connect to it

    Try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       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. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • My MacBook Pro has locked me out how do I access?

    My daughter has her exams tomorrow and her cheat sheets are on her computer. We went to log on as normal and her passwords etc are now incorrect and it is not accepting the Apple ID an password to change anything. I have one stressed out girl!!! How can I get into the contents of the computer?

    Try and reboot the computer, if you can't due to configuration you may be forced to hold down the power button. 
    - Start the computer back up while holding down (Command + R), before you see the Apple Logo.
    - Once the system starts up you will be in Recovery mode. 
    - Click on "Utilites" from the menu bar, and open up "Terminal".  Type in "resetpassword" then hit "enter" on your keyboard.
    - The Password Reset utility will open.  Click on "Macintosh HD" and then using the drop down list, select your user.
    - Using the password fields there you can setup a new password.
    *FYI* - The application that stores your passwords will also be reset so all saved passwords will be lost

    I'm having trouble getting into my ipad. There is message on the screen in a small box saying my subscription to a film has expired. When I press 'ok' in the small box nothing happens and I cannot use the ipad. I have tried turning it off and on but the same message is there and I cannot use the ipad. Any suggestions, please?

  • My daughter put a password on her ipad and now the ipad is locked and disabled. how do i unlock it or reset the ipad?

    My daughter put a password on her Ipad2 and forgot her password. She entered the password wrong 10 times and now her Ipad says that it's locked and disabled. How can I reset or unlock her IPad2?
    thank you

    You cant reset the password. You will have to restore the device within iTunes and you will want to use the same computer that you sync with if you want to restore all of the app data and app settings.
    This article will explain how to restore the iPad.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Howver, you will probably need recovery mode in order to bypass the passcode. You can read about it here.

  • How to back up without losing anything?

    BlackBerry Q5.
    I've had my phone turned off for a week and had switched my mobile network off. Yesterday I attempted to turn it all back on but my emails were not coming through. Then I discovered my WhatsApp was not working either. So I attempted to re-download it and it failed. It said to try again and then restart if that doesn't work. 
    So in the end I restarted my device. However when it reloaded my BBM, texts and previous emails had all been wiped from my phone. I managed to redownload WhatsApp last night but this morning it has disappeared again. I am able to make and receive phone calls but am not able to send or receive texts. Internet Browser is temperamental too.
    I had used BlackBerry Protect on my previous devices but this one only uses BlackBerry Link and I have never been able to back it up through there as there were always connection errors  such as ‘Cannot communicate with device’ when I use an USB cable for it. Even though I am able to copy media files through it via WiFi…
    I presume this is a problem with my phone and not my network provider? Any help would be deeply appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From your post, I assume that all of your data is already gone, and hence your subject line is a "future" thinking request rather than something you need now.
    I agree with your suspicion...something about your device is not working correctly.
    Start please with a clean removal and re installation of LINK
    Article ID: KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of the BlackBerry Desktop Software or BlackBerry Link
    If you continue to get USB errors, they please try other USB ports and/or other OEM BB USB cords, and also search the public KB database using the exact error message(s) you are presented with. You will need to ensure that your computer can properly communicate via USB (not WiFi) before you can complete any of the attempts below.
    Next, try to use LINK to reload your BBOS:

    If that fails, try this process:
    On-device WIPE
    OS Load via AutoLoader
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using​...
    On-device WIPE
    See if that gets things going again. Good luck and let us know!

    Place your iPad into recovery mode, which will require restoring your iPad with iTunes which is required when forgetting the Passcode Lock.

  • My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out and says disabled connect to itunes.  The computer which this ipod was synced has crashed.  How can I fix this?

    My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes.  The computer she last synced to has crashed.  How can I unlock this ipod? 

    The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
    Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
    You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.
    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it."

  • I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?

    I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?
    Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
    Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?

    Ask Google... they locked you out of the email account.

  • My iPad has locked so the screen doesn't rotate!? How do I un lock it?

    My iPad has locked so the screen doesn't rotate!? How do I un lock it?

    when you flipped the switch did the roation icon appear in the middle of the screen for a moment?
    one thing you can also try is...
    Try doing a hard reboot
    1. hold the power and home buttons down
    2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Let the iDevice boot... should only take a couple minutes.
