My Ipad is locked and it tells me to go to Itunes why

I have enter a password by mistake when I was making a change in the settings and then to compound my mistake I entered the password to many time and now my Ipad is locked and at the top of the screen on my ipad it says to connect Itunes. I don't know why therefore I don't know what to do  ....can you help to bring my ipad back to life. thank you sonja

The connect to iTunes message it appearing because you've entered the code incorrectly too many times, it's a security feature. You will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
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.

    If you do not have the password, you can only do a restore-resetting the iPad to factory condition.

  • My ipad is locked and i have to connect it to itunes

    my ipad is locked and i have to connect it to itunes but now itunes wont accept it unless i unlock the ipad but i can't, what do i do?

    I have no clue what you're talking about.  Perhaps you can rephrase with correct spelling and real sentences that include initial caps and periods and other grammatical niceties.

  • My ipad is locked and it tells me to update my icloud but the screen is not responding to my touch?

    How do I get my screen unlocked so that I can update my ipad.  The screen is not responding to my touch, instead it is telling me... " This ipad hasnt been backed up in  12 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connnected to wi-fi".  Does this mean that I cant use this untill it is all done backing everything up? And how do I begin to use it since it says its locked?

    Reboot 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.
    After it boots up again, you will be able to use the iPad. You should backup the iPad like the message is telling you to do.

  • TS3988 my ipad got locked and now disabled since I got the latest download

    my ipad got locked and disabled after the latest download  from itunes...asked for a passcode which I did not oyt in yet...

    If it is disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode.  If you are using iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you will have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • HT1766 A message popup tells me that my ipad has not backed up in two weeks.  Now my ipad is locked and I cannot cancel the message, turn it off or slide to unlock.  What do i do?

    I have a pop up message on my IPad that says it has not backed up in two weeks and now my ipad is locked and I cannot use it.  I connected it to electricity, it is already on Wifi, and locked it with the button on top.  But the message has not gone away.  I cannot turn it off or remove the message or or slide to unlock.  What can I do? 

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Ipad is locked and "Speaking" all actions. Not opening. Tips?

    This is the second time this happened. The first time a tech at work fixed it but now on vacation and can't get it working...
    iPad is now "talking" everything I do. I did not manually enter "talk" mode in settings. Not sure how it happened.
    I've force restarted it (sleep/menu button) but, once restarted, it is now displaying keyboard, asking for the for passcode to "unlock" the ipad. However, when I press the numbers of the passcode on the screen, the ipad "Speaks" them, but doesn't actually register the numbers, so iPad remains locked.
    I tried syncing/restoring it, but iTunes tells me I can't restore it until I enter the password.
    Any tips on how to get through the speaking-password problem and then to resolve this permanently?

    You've turned VoiceOver on. Press and hold the home button until Siri is activated then say " Turn VoiceOver off."
    If for some reason Siri doesn't turn VoiceOver off you have to tap everything once for the voice then double tap to activate. Go to settings> general> accessibility> VoiceOver> off.
    For example you need to tap settings once for the voice then double tap to activate.
    Then tap general once for the voice then double tap to activate.
    Tap accessibility once then double tap.
    Tap VoiceOver once  then double tap.
    Finally tap the switch once then double tap.

  • My iPad is locked and says it needs to be backed up

    My iPad is locked and says that it needs to be backed up.  My home is  wi-fi hotspot, so the iPad is constantly connected.  I am having problems getting to merely turn-off.  Was there a software change recently?    

    Reboot 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • HT1212 my ipad is locked and saying connect to itunes and im trying to connect it but its saying you need to type the passcode in but i cant because its still saying its locked what do i do

    my ipad is locked and its saying connect to itunes which i have done and on itunes its saying ipad can not connect because its got a passcode but i cant type the pass code in because its locked what do i do

    You need to follow the instructions in the second half of that page
    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.
    So you need to click on the 'If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer' heading and follow the instructions underneath it
