Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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 canceling 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.
Cheers, Tom

HT1212 ipad mini is frozen and home button not working
my ipad mini home button is frozen and will not turn off. I have tried holding the home button and of/off button for more than a minute and will not respond or shutdown.
If the home button is not working, then the best option is a visit to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs check it out.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons

I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAC (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK)
I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAX (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK
This seems to cause a certain amount of confusion. Your Adobe ID is not used to download or install Adobe Reader.
But when you install any software you are likely to need your own computer's administrator password. This password was chosen by you (or someone) the first time the computer was switched on, and is used to protect the system against bad things. -
please please help me figure this out

IPad mini user ID and password
How do I make the iPad mini accept a changed Apple ID and password? iMac did so but mini still shows old ID and will not accept old or new password. Cannot buy apps or tunes.
If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

Why has my ipad mini stoppedaccessing mail and internet but not skype?
2 days ago my ipad mini 2 suddenly decided to stop being able to access email or use safari to browse the internet when connected to the cellular network - but NOT when connected to wifi. It also only connects to words with friends via wifi as well as other games.
Oddly enough I am still able to use skype.
Please help! I have injured my foot and would like to avoid having to track down an Apple store if possible.
So far I have tried:
rebooting the normal way,
resetting the ipad,
resetting the network settings,
resetting all settings on the ipad,
removing the sim card and reinserting it,
deleting the email account and adding it again -
all to no avail. Still desperately looking for an answer!A restore might help.

I recently bought a leather case from store with smArt unlock/lock function with magnetic. I try to use it on my iPad mini retina when I try to close and open it doesn't work. I already on my smart unlock function inside setting. May I know where is the magnetic area of iPad mini retina ?
The "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled by installing a compatible Smart Cover/Case (or third-party equivalent) with an embedded magnet in the correct position in the cover. Are you using a real Apple product? If not, the cover/case you are using may not have the magnet in the right place or may not even have one at all.
If you ARE using a real Apple Smart Cover/Case and you have an Apple Store nearby, have them check both the case and cover you are using. You may have a bad magnectic switch on the iPad or a faulty cover/case.
I also remember reading here of a Smart Case/Cover which had the magnet installed upside-down and was repelling rather than attracting. You might want to take the cover off and flip it to verify this...you'll have to slide the cover around in different positions on the right-hand bezel on the iPad to see if you can activate the magnet. -
Ipad mini lightening to USB camera plug not working
Hi all,
I recently purchased an ipad mini with a lightening to USB camera cable. The ipad does not recognise my camera and vice versa. It's like they are not plugged in.
Have tried resetting ipad and camera, both have full batteries and have tried 2 different camera USB cables which both work when plugged into the computer.
Camera is Olympus EP-3.
Anyone else had this issue?Magsoff wrote:
