Hello Bjoknae
Check out the article below to get your iPad to show up in iTunes again. Check the Apple Mobile Device support files are working properly.

i have entered the wong password on mi iPad 2 too many times and it says disabled connect to iTunes so when i plug it into the computer , iTunes says pad locked cannot sync until you unlock the iPad but i don't remember the password nor can i put it in
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore -
I have windows 8 enterprise OS and iTunes ver. 10.5.0.142. I was upgrading my iPad to IOS 6.1.3. After finishing the upgrade my iPad Reboot and currently stucked-up in a plug-in screen and iTunes Logo. When I try to connect it to the iTunes pop-up message appear saying " iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes." In short, I push the restore button then another pop-up message appear saying " The iPad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I tried many ways but still no luck. I repeatedly reboot the iPad and open the iTunes still the same problem. I try also to uninstall the iTunes and installed the lower version but still the same problem, I even check the firewall if the ITunes was block or My privileges is administrator to run the iTunes or even reset my winsock but the problem still remain. PLEASE HELP! Thank you in advance!!!
Turn off your firewall and antivirus software.

When my iPad prompted me to upgrade to IOS 7.1, I selected the upgrade. All went well until the iPad prompted me to plug into iTunes. I plugged it to a laptop, then the message on the laptop stated "iPod is in Recovery Mode" Nothing worked to get the iPad to complete the upgrade, not even an attempt to restore iPad to factory settings - it is stuck in the "plug to iTunes" mode.
Any suggestions to either uninstall IOS 7.1, to complete the install, or to reset it? At this point, it is a $700 papeweight.Pad: Unable to update or restore

IPad 2 went in Recovery Mode and I don't want to lose my data
Well, hello.
I have a big problem with my iPad2. From the begining: I wanted to update the iOS to 7.1.2. The progress bar appeared and I left it like that. When I returned, it showed me that I have to connect the device to iTunes. When I did this, it said that I have to restore it. The big problem is that I don't have any back-up of my iPad. I had, but my old laptop broke and I can't open it anymore. So I got a new laptop (Windows 8) and never connected the iPad to it, only now, when it is in Recovery Mode and... I tried to hold the Home+Wake up button both pressed in the same time, but still no change: the Apple logo appears only for a few seconds and it goes back to the Recovery Mode screen. I also downloaded TinyUmbrella from here: http://tinyumbrella.en.lo4d.com/ but nothing happened (it appeared something like TinyUmbrella: Verifying libraries, reticualting something). I also contacted the service in my country, but they said that nothing can be done, I have to restore it and, by this, erase all the data on it. Please, is there any way in which I can save the data? I'm more than desparateYes, I know... I discovered now that I have saved the photos I wanted from it long time ago (for the same reasons, i didn't wanted to lose them). So I'm kind of saved. Also it has been like crap because the laptop where I had my backups is as dead as can be. That was the moment when I panicked. From now on... I'll back-up it everyday. Thank you a lot!

‘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 cancelling 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.

I did the new update for iOS 6. Afterwards it says it had to restart and it did. Then the image saying to plug into iTunes appeared. I plugged it in and it says it is in "recovery mode".. Not sure what to do? I really don't want to wipe it clean, have it alot of info saved. What can I do? Can I take back the upgrade back? I need this fixed quick.
Your device is in recovery mode. All data on it are gone.
Certainly you backed up your device before attempting something major like a software upgrade right? If you didn't perfom this most basic of tasks, then your data are gone. -
While downloading software update for Itunes, got message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do. Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector. Help!
No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark. -

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I was doing the IOS 7.0.2 update to address security. The IPad is now telling me to plug in to Itunes. When I do so, my MAC is saying the IPad is in recovery mode and my data will be lost. What happened?!! How do i fix?
Something went wrong with the update and you are in Recovery Mode.

My ipad just froze on me with an error message "this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. All this has been done including trying to backup via itunes (on my PC). all this still doesn't solve the problem. Anyone have a possible solution?
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: You must hold both buttons down together. -

I have a message on ipad "hasn't been backed up in 43 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi. I don't care to back up ipad, I just want to unlock it.
Do you mean you have forgotten your passcode for the slide to unlock? If so, the only way to undo it is to restore it in iTunes, and without a backup to then recover from, you are going to loose all the content on it.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Seriously, backing up is not really optional - sooner or later, it becomes essential to have a backup in place. -
My Ipad 2 is in recovery mode it tells me to plug it into itunes to restore.Once I do an error (40) pops up after while verifying restore with apple. I called and they said it was with my norton security so I shut everything off on norton and tried again but it still comes up with the same thing. Is there anyone that could help please!!
Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.
