My mini ipad is saying connect to itunes
my mini ipad is saying connect to iTunes what do I do ??
That implies that it's gone into recovery mode - connect the iPad to your computer by its cable, and you open iTunes on the computer it should recognise the iPad and you should let you reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your last backup (if you've only been backing up to the cloud then after resetting the iPad you may need to do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings on it so that you can get to the iOS Setup Assistant screens on it and be able to restore to the icloud backup) or just resync your content to it.

My ipad is saying connect to itunes because it has been disabled. but my itunes says i need to unlock it before i cant do anything. i need help.
Hi Stephanie,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're going to have to put the iPad in to recovery mode before you can restore it. The article linked below provides more details about the passcode lock and will walk you through putting the process of restoring from recovery mode.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Use recovery mode
Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
Disconnect all cables from your device.
Turn off your device.
Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
Click OK, then restore the device.
Cheers!

When I turn on iPad it says connect to iTunes after attempting a restore
Been having a bit of trouble with my iPad recently so thought I would do a factory reset to try and fix it. So i put it on to do the reset using iTunes and left the room, only to come back 5 minutes later and see that my iPad is showing the iTunes logo with the USB plug-in image. Which I thought was odd as it was already connected to iTunes in the first place when i left the room...I disconnected and re-connected a couple of times with no luck, however the sound on my laptop was coming through as though the laptop was recognizing the device had been connected but no such luck with iTunes picking it up and recognizing the connection. I then tried turning the iPad off a few times and turning back on to no avail. I then started searching online for answers and solutions about trying to go into recovery mode but the iPad wont. When I press the power down button on the iPad I do not get any 'slider' or anything to swipe as you normally would when you turn off an apple device. When I try holding down the home button on the iPad whilst connecting the iPad to the USB which is connected to my laptop it does not go into recovery mode. But I am still hearing the noise as though the laptop is recognizing the device, it is just iTunes that is not. I do have the latest version of iTunes, as that is what I thought would be the initial problem so I downloaded it but it made little-to-no difference. I believe the system software on the iPad was up-to-date too.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? Been searching online for solutions for the best part of 2 hours now and nothing is seeming to work or make any difference.
If anyone can help I am grateful
ThanksUPDATE: I have managed to get it working, after disconnecting and re-connecting over 50 times, iTunes finally picked it up and I have now completed the factory reset and everything is now working as it should

I am unable to unlock my ipad, it says "connct to itunes" any help?
i am unable to unlock my ipad, it says"connect to itunes", any help?
See if any of these suggestions help.
Tap the "waiting" or "installing" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each icon.
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.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, you might be best served if you download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -

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. -

‘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.
