Please can anyone help me, my ipad is disabled and will not let me use it, am being asked to link to itunes but it has not been linked to any itunes so i dont know what i can do to get it working again.
can anyone help me.
Thanks

It will need to be connected to a computer to unlock it - from that first link :
If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.
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.
Recovery mode is usually needed to get a disabled iPad into a state where it will be recognised by a computer - without putting the iPad into it, iTunes on the computer is likely to expect you to type in the (forgotten) passcode lock on the iPad.

    ‘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.

  • My iPad is disabled and I am locked out. How do I get in?

    I just updated my iPad and put a iCloud password in. I thought I used the correct one the following day but now my iPad is "disabled". Help!

    I had the same problem yesterday after downloading iOS 8 onto my iPad and so I depressed both the on/off button at the top and the "dish" button at the bottom centre at the SAME time; until the unit went blank. I waited 15 mins and voila! Problem solved. Go figure.

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

  • What to do after Ipad is disabled and not recognize by Itunes. Can not follow any of the step to either syinc or restore.

    I am unable to use my Ipad because I forgot the password. I tried many times. It is disabled. I connect to the computer and Itunes does not open it. It says that I have to use a passbcode to be able to enter Itunes. Completely disabled. I tried all the instructions offered on line. But nothing is working.
    Please, any advise? Thank you!

    If your computer's iTunes is prompting you to enter the passcode on the iPad then try recovery mode, that should let you reset the iPad back to factory defaults - see half-way down this page : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • Inherited an ipad 2 and do not have the iTunes password.  Can I get the ipad reset?

    The ipad was my moms and she passed away.  I know her itunes password was rarely used as she had the same few apps on there for years.  I want to reset it and give it to my grandkids.  Everything I am reading tells me that apple will not help without the password.  Is that true?  Is there anything I can show, like death certificate or receipt (if I can get a copy) for the ipad when I bought it for her?

    I think that you are talking about the iCloud password that you will need in order to be able to erase the device and start all over again. If you have the original bill of sale/receipt and her death certificate, make an appointment at an Apple Store and they should be able to help.
    I'm sorry for your loss.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Why would my account get disabled and how do i get to work again ???

    I guess mine got deactivated and i cant buy anything ... it tells me to go to a certain address on apple.com but i cant find anything there... HELP??
    pop up says ( when i try to buy something)
    You can not buy because your account has been disabled
    to continue using this account it must be enabled by the itunes store customer service. you can contact customer service at http://www.apple.com/itunes/storesupport/

    Clicking on the link for the form does nothing but take to the Password Retrieval page. After That, all it does is make me change my password. How does that "enable" my account !? THERE IS NO FORM TO FILL OUT ! WHERE IS THE FORM ! WHAT IS THIS FORM? Need better details on "EXACTLY" "IN DETAIL" what to do do and what to expect in order to enable the account again. How many times do I have to change my password? Your "click here and fill out the form" link does not take you to a form.
