‘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.

I've forgotten passcode for screen on iphone6. I have also restored the phone as new. It is still asking for passcode. What can I do now that I have not bee given a chance to set a new passcode?
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
A
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software. -
IPad lock up. Asks for passcode.
Had the same problem when updating to 7. Finally got lucky. When it asked for your passcode it is your Apple ID password by default for some reason. No Problems now!
Mike,
did have passcode prior to update, but disabled it. after update only numeric keyboard appears and asks for passcode,
When i entered old passcode, tells me phone is disabled for 1 hr, try again!!

My brand new iPad 2 3G is asking for code.
I'm not able to "open" it, as first thing it does is asking for this code. Is it the sim-card code it's asking for`? Got it as a gift, I will only use it inhouse so I don't intend to bay a sim card for it. Or is it any other code ?
It will not be the sim card, because the message would read as 'no sim card installed' and you can still get into your iPad.
The code is possibly the passcode your are seeing, which is similar to a password except it uses numbers.
And who ever gave this iPad to you, they will need to supply you the passcode. If not, then you will need to restore the iPad through iTunes as a new iPad.
If it's not the passcode then please let us know exactly what the message says. -
Setting up new Ipad and it asked for Apple ID but no password. Next screen says ID is being used. Reset password? Why? How do I go on with setup?
You do not have to enter an Apple ID in order to set up an iPad. You can do that after the device has been activated. Can you back out of the setting and remove the Apple ID then move forward and deal with it after the iPad is activated?

Currently using iOS 7.1.1
For longtime trying to update to 7.1.2
I am unable to install it, as it is asking me for Passcode.
Is passcode different from my Apple ID Password?
I tried to put the pass word, it gives me failure notification
Because of this also changed Apple ID Pass word recentlyThe Passcode is NOT the password for your Apple ID, the Passcode is the four digit number you enter to unlock your phone after it has auto locked.

IPad backup is ios8 but new iPad Air won't store it as it is ios7
Today I bought a new iPad Air to replace my older 3rd generation iPad (Which has ios8 installed).
I Started up the new iPad Air and it asked me if I wanted to restore the backup of my old iPad from icloud. all of my iPad backups however are greyed out because the iPad Air is preloaded with iOS 7 and the backup is in ios8.
I started as a new iPad and upgraded the air to ios8, however it seems that the only way to use an iCloud backup is by erasing all contents and settings. This will then put the iPad Air back to ios7.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get round this?Erasing all content and settings will not downgrade the iOS version, it will remain on iOS 8

I have a new iPad Air and it is asking for my Passcode which I thought I knew , but it is not turning on with the code I tought I had entered?
Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

New iPad asking for passcode but didn't ask for one to be set during set up process, it only wanted my thumbprint. Is there easy way to solve?
I'm pretty sure you were asked to set up a passcode. It is required every time you power up the iPad after it has been powered down or reset. From the manual:
"The Setup Assistant guides you through the setup process, including:
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID (needed for many features, including iCloud, FaceTime, the App
Store, the iTunes Store, and more)
Entering a passcode
Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain
Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services
Activating iPad with your carrier (cellular models)"
If you have no recollection of it, all you can do is restore your iPad to factory settings, i.e. start again.

Just added the new ipad air to my itunes account. When I go to purchase or download apps it will not ask for my itunes account info, a grey box appears on my main screen with "waiting" under it and in the "app store" it will show the app that i chose with a constant spinning circle. Any ideas?
The iCloud account has nothing to do with downloading apps over wireless, but if you do not have an iCloud account you can delete that account information if you want to do so. Do you have other use of WiFi with the iPad? It is connecting and working correctly for email and such?
You could try going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and then re-select the WiFi network and enter the password again...then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
All of that may clear problems of a minor nature. -

New Ipad Air everfthing transfereed over but cannot send emails keeps asking for a stmp password.
New Ipad Air have managed to transfer over all apps and photos, but it will not let me send e mails keeps asking for a stmp pasword can any one help please.
Hi bmwk100rt!
You will need to do this in settings. Go to mail in settings and tap on your account. Go down the page, past where it asks for your address and p-word, and there will be a window for stmp. Tap on that, and you'll be able to enter your information there. It's usually the same info as for your email. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
