My Ipad went into disable mode after my grandchild entered the wrong passcode several times. I have never synced this IPad, and I have so many photos on the Ipad that I do not want to lose. I have the correct password, is there anyway to enable the IPad
My Ipad went into disable mode after my grandchild entered the wrong passcode several times. I have the correct passcode, but I have never synced the IPad. It says Connect to Itunes Diable Ipad. I have many pictures I do not want to lose and I have never backed up. Is there a way to open the Ipad without losing all of my pictures or data.
You should be able to recover any pictures you have taken on your iPad (in Camera Roll), but not application data etc, by connecting, via USB not wifi , to your computer.
If you are using a mac, connect your iPad, if iTunes automatically launches close it, run iPhoto and wait till your iPad is shown under Devices, you can then import all or selected photos.
If you are using Windows, again connect and close iTunes if it starts. Then browse the device using explorer, your photos will be shown on the device in My Computer held in a folders under DCIM (or something similar), you can copy and paste them into which ever folder you want on the PC.
The rest I'm afraid is gone unless you can remember the passcode, sorry.
Hope all goes well.
Cheers

My ipod is disabled and the message requests to try again in 223004 minutes. I think it might have something to do with the date being set wrong before it went into disabled mode. Can you assist in enabling.
You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Forgot the passcode to my ipad. When I went to restore it, it asked me if I wanted to update the software so I said yes. It then went into recovery mode, I'm guessing, with the connect to iTunes showing on the screen. Now iTunes will not recognize it so I have no idea how to get it back! Help!!
Then you will need to try restoring it once more:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU) 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.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
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 iPod touch 4th generation says on the screen to connect to iTunes. When i connected it to iTunes, it says i must restore my ipod for it to work. However, I have over 6,000 pictures that I've taken over the past two years that i do not want to lose. What do I do? I already tried resetting it by holding down the home/power button, that doesn't help.
Elitegate, the poster siad his iPod has the Connect To iTune screen, You can't backup the iPod when in that mode.

Make a backup with iTunes to secure your photos. Then restore your iPod. After that, restore the iPod from backup. (Not as a new one.) -

dfu mode
How to enter iPhone DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
Exit DFU mode on iPhone
The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.
And if you’re curious, yes this works all the same on an iPod touch. -
IPhone 3G went into recovery mode after installing iTunes 9.0 and 3.1 OS
Hi there,
I recently had to waste about 2hrs time, to get a not working 3.1 OS update fixed on my iPhone 3G. This is not the kind of hassle I would expect from Apple!
I am using a MacBook with OSX 10.5.6 and an iMac with SnowLeopard and iTunes 9.0.
When upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.1 on the iMac my iPhone 3G immediately went into some kind of "recovery mode". Three attemps failed to get that fixed. The iPhone would always be recognized as a iPhone in "recovery mode".
iTunes would then connect to some kind of Apple service, to restore/recover the phone, but then fail again and again with a "2600" or so error. Detailed info on that error would furthermore lead to a Apple website, that was not accessible ("sorry, there is no information available...").
Finally I had the idea to connect the iPhone to my OSX 10.5.8 MacBook's iTunes 9, which surprisingly managed to get the iPhone out of recovery again. First all my app store apps were gone, but then I found a tab within iTunes, where I could recover all my apps (after checking the option "overwrite apps on iphone").
This was by far the most stupid gone wrong upgrade process on a before well working phone and an iMac, I have ever encountered.
Thanks for the wasted time, Apple. Proably you guys should get things straight before releasing banana phone OS updates, that work on one Apple and not the other.
Cheers
ChristophAwesome, thanks!! I actually read on another forum about doing that on an XP computer because Vista and 7 drivers get screwed up for the iPhone, so I just got done doing it on an XP computer and it WORKED!!!!
Thanks for the reply! -

When I log on and Firefox opens, there are two rows of tabs. The first row are indeed sites I go to regularly, like my ban, Amazon, etc. The second row contain sites I may have visited once. How do I get rid of these?
Is one the Bookmarks Toolbar and the other the Tab Bar or is that in the browsing area (web page) and a page like the about:newtab page?
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can use one of these to set which toolbars to show.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Can you attach a screenshot?

Does your Wifi drop when your iPad mini went into sleep mode after upgrading to iOS 7?
Dear iPad mini users, to those who have upgraded to iOS 7 like I did, do you experienced WiFi drop when your iPad is in sleeping mode? I noticed this problem only few days after upgrading my iOS. Initially I don't think there is such issue. After your iPad mini recover fom sleep mode, then it will automatically connect to WiFi again. My point is it no longer connected to WiFi in sleeping mode and so could not keep me up-to-date with my mail if I am on WiFi.
Do share your view and if there is a solution, do share with me please. I have tried almost all solutions available online but no no avail. At the moment, I am activating my 3G network so that when mail came in, my iPad will notify me even during its sleeping mode but this is getting expensive considering I am using the 3G 24 hours every day now.I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.

My iPhone 5 went into recovery mode after I tried to update it to iOS 8. Any suggestions?
I have tried those apps that allow you to exit out of recovery mode. But none of them worked for me. I don't want to restore my iPhone because I haven't backed it up for a while now...

i forgot my security questions can anyone help me please reset them
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -
