My passcode on my iPad is locked and I can't get in

I now have a security code on my IPAD that I didn't put there. I can't get into it. What do I do?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

HT201328 my niece had my phone and put a passcode on it and forgot the passcode now my phone is locked and I can't get any help to get it unlocked ....did it erase all my pictures when this happened it said after many wrong passcodes to sign in itunes wh

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
There is an option in settings to erase the phone after 10 failed login attempts. If you had enabled this option then, yes, after 10 tries all of your content (including pictures) would be erased. You can recover them from the most recent backup you made of the phone, either in iCloud or on your computer.

my ipad id disabled and I can not get it to open my main screen, how can i regain access to the product

If it's showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect it 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 : 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.

I never set a passcode for my iPad but it is locked and I can't get it unlocked. The "slide to unlock" does not work. How do I get it unlocked?

I never set up a passcode for my iPad 2 but it is locked and I can't unlock it. The "slide to unlock" does not work. Any suggestions on how to unlock it?

You have to slide to unlock to bring up the keyboard if a passcode is set. If you can't slide then try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Camera focus is locked and I can't get the autofocus to work.

Camera focus is locked and I can't the autofocus to work even if I point on the screen as described in the manual.

Kallestropp-
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
If that does not help, your iPad may be defective. If it is in warranty, show it to an Apple Store Genius. If the Genius can not fix it, you may get a replacement iPad on the spot.
If your warranty has expired, or there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>

Was connected to 360 when 360 died. Now Ipod is locked and I can't get it unlocked.

Ipod was connected to 360 xbox when the xbox died. It now says I have 22,000,000 minutes before I can unlock it. I never had a lock code. What can I do to fix this.

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My Ipad seems to be locked, it says it has not made an updtae with Icloud in two weeks, an needs to be charged, have wifi and be locked. I have arranges all this but it is still "locked" and i can´t do anything, not even turn it off..

My Ipad is locked and I can´t do anything it says it must sync with Icloud but does not seems to do this know even if It is connected to wifi, charged and is locked. I can´t do anything right now...

In order to backup to iCloud the iPad must be plugged into a power source, connected to WiFi and locked - meaning that it must be asleep - or with the lock screen only visible. This is for automatic backups.
If the iPad is not responding at all to any user input, try restarting it or resetting it and see if you can take the steps necessary to back up. You can initiate the backup manually as well.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset 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.

Locked folder I can't get rid of.

I was burning a data-DVD of some photos when I hit a snag navigating in Finder, and so I control-clicked on Finder and told it to relaunch. But by doing that, it interrupted the DVD burn. Now, I have a folder on my desktop that is called Untitled DVD that is locked, and I can't get rid of it. I can't unlock it either. When I try, Tiger tells me I don't have permission to do that. I tried to move it so it wouldn't be on my desktop, and instead, it just copied it to another folder. So now I have two of these stupid, useless folders.
So, any ideas on how I can get rid of these folders? They're not taking up that much room, but they are annoying.

Delete the locked folder with Terminal (in Applications > Utilities):
1. Open Terminal window
2. Type 'sudo rm -rf ' (Not the ' marks, just what is between them. Yes, that is a space on the end. _Do not press enter yet_.)
3. Drag the offending folder into the terminal window. Its path should be entered after the text you have typed. Click in the Terminal window to switch back into Terminal (from Finder).
4. Press enter/return.
5. Type your admin password.
6. Wait until the prompt appears again (may take some time).
7. Quit Terminal.
Follow the above instructions *carefully and exactly* (rm -rf is capable of deleting anything).
Hope this helps...

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
