Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

‘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.

When I try to log on to Facebook, My iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190. What is it and why do I get it?

When I try to log onto Facebook, my iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190, but I can log on on my HP desktop. What is code 190, and why do I get it?

I was using the FB app that came with the iPad. What I eventually did was.
1. Held down both home key and on-off button until iPad shut down, then rebooted.
2. Uninstalled FB app.
3. Went to App Store and re-installed FB app.
The iPad had numerous problems. My son saw my plea on FB as I was accessing it through my HP computer, and he walked me through it. While he was at it, he taught me how to disconnect auto-correct. I am not certain that I want to keep that off, but everything is working the way it is supposed to the way it was in the beginning.
I am curious, though, as to what ears to the problem in the first place. After checking various sites, it seems that a code 190 has to do with windows not Apple.
But thank you for the response.

I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed. The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod. My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything. It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music. I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't. I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!? What do I do???

You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC. Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

Switched MB Pros, Used TMachine to Migrate NOW New MB Will Not Recognize ..

Just switched from previous gen MB Pro to new MB PRo...Used TMachine to back up and Migrate NOW new MB will not recognize my "old" MB archive and wants to start a new TMachine archive.
New machine has name "name (2)" and old machine was "name". Is there someway to let T Machine "know" that I want to use the same archive to maintain continuity?

As Mr. Boyd says, TM has been enhanced in Snow Leopard to let you do this easily, but it's a problem in Leopard.
Some folks have tried the procedure in #C8 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum. It may not work well, or at all, in this case, since it's two rather different Macs, not the same Mac with a new logic board.

My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded? If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized. With iTunes open, click on Store at the top. Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them. Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

Server on I-Photo on my MacBook Pro will not recognize my ID/Password combination

Details help - is this trying to sent email? What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
The general answer is
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

iPad does not recognize my iTunes account balance

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

How do I reset my incoming mail. I had virus on AOL account and had to change passwords. iPad will not recognize it now.

I Recently got virus on an AOL account that pushes to my ipad. I had to reset my password. I have changed the password on my iPad but it will not recognize it. I keep getting message that username or password is incorrect. I have powered off and back on several times. Any suggestions

Did you check the outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
