Pass Code just entered in set-up iPad not recognizing.

Tried to install iOS 8, needed pass code. Having never entered one before, I just entered one for the first time under set-up. However, iPad is not recognizing the pass code I just set it up with!
Powered off iPad and restarted, but still not recognizing pass code I just set it up with.

Howdy goldenpeace,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
That sounds like it would be frustrating. Take a look at the article below, it outlines how you can restore the iPad to resolve the issue with the passcode.

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore

Wanted to update the software now available, but it is asking for a pass code. As far as I remember in didn't put in any pass code , how do I settle this issue . Earlier updates were asking Apple ID but pass code for updating the new soft ware not known.

Hello Kewal,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update. I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.

Ipad not recognized on imac

When I had to reset my IPAD( couldnt remember my password), my iMAC does not recognize my Ipad and unable to sync any music, apps etc.
I have tried everything, what is the next step?

Correct on Ipad assumption; not recognized on my Imac or Mac Pro.
Also, my Mac Pro has Itunes11 installed correctly, still didnt matter.
I have to figure out how to uninstall Itunes on my Imac, somehow its corrupted.
When I move Itunes to Trash, I get the message that ITunes cannot be modified or deleted bc its required by Mac OS......
So, its two problems.
IPAD not recognized and Itunes not loaded to R11 on Imac and unable to uninstall/re-install.
HELP....

HT4061 If I forget my pass code how can I use my iPad

I have a pass code on my iPad mini and I have forgotten it how can I fix this

Did you read the link Diavonex posted?
The only way to get into a passcode protected device is to restore it.
Follow the instructions there even if your iPad is not disabled yet. The procedure is the same.
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

I forgot the pass code for my iphone 4s iTunes will not restore because "find my phone" needs to be turned off.

I am trying to open my iphone and can't remember my recently changed pass code. I tried syncing with iTunes and restoring. I can't restore because "find my phone" needs to be turned off. I can't turn it off because I can't open my phone. What can I do?

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

IPad not recognized by itunes in Win7

Hallo,
after setting up my computer new and changing to windows 7 (starting with a new SSD) my iphone is not recognized by itunes. In windows i get in
start -> system configuration -> hardware and sound -> printers and devices
8 devices in section 'printers and fax'
5 devices in 'devices'
and in the bottom section 'not specified' the ipad device
The first question is if this is the right place to show for the ipad in win7. I see nothing in 'computer' in the windows explorer
If i plug and unplug the ipad from (several) USB ports (which are all 2.0) i get the typical windows sound for that
The problem is that the device does not show up in itunes. If i choose [Questionmark] / Start diagnosis in the itunes menu bar, all is green except for the one red light saying 'no ipad found'
I already worked through the official help
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/#section_0
with no result (itunes version 10.4.1.10, USB 2.0, itunes re-installed)
Can anybody help, any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I just worked again throught the link provided by Carolyn Samit
I stumbled in the section
3. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
There i read after gettin into the device manager
'Locate the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in this list.'
I got a whole bunch of USB things in the device manager but none of them has the word 'apple' in it. Does that really mean i have to search for some apple word in the device manager?
Maybe someone out there with a working win7/ipad/itunes system can just confirm that
a) he has some apple thing in the device manager
b) his ipad does not show up in the windows explorer
c) his ipad shows up in the section 'unspecified' in the start -> system configuration -> hardware and sound -> printers and devices
Thank you

Ipod & ipad not recognized by itunes

ipod touch & ipad are not recognized by itunes. i already removed & restarted & reinstalled the amds & itunes hoping it would work, but nothing! maybe 3rd party software is interfering?? i think i temporarily disabled some software from that 3rd party list, like norton & mcafee i actually removed the mcafee program. and still itunes is not recognizing either item. pls help. should i entirely remove the all the security/firewall programs?

Thanks for the response but this didn't work for me. I went thru the whole comprehensive set of steps and still iTunes doesn't recognize either device. I'm not sure what else to do. My husband thinks I should restore the computer to an earlier date prior to the last iTunes software update. Not sure what else to do. For now, both the iPod and the iPad work fine. I just can't synch them.

Ipad not recognized by itunes; apps shut off on ipad as soon as I open them

My ipad is not recognized in iTunes, when plugged into my computer. I can't back up or sync to my computer, but I have managed to back up to icloud, I think. Applications shut off within 20 seconds of opening them on my ipad. I think I need to reset my ipad but I'm just not getting that option when I plug it in to my computer and I'm worried about whether or not the icloud backup is sufficient. Thanks!

Try some basic troubleshooting before you restore your iPad.
First close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that didn't help, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
IF you really feel that you need to restore, and maybe you will have to, try this for help with the device not being seen by iTunes.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

IPad not recognized by iTunes, recognized by Windows as a camera

I first started using my iPad yesterday. Yesterday I was up until 2:30 in the morning trying to find a solution, to no avail. I had apple support call me today, but I missed their calls and now I have to wait again until they call me. But in the mean time, here's what's going on. My iPad is recognized by windows (XP Pro SP2) as a camera when I plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. I ran the diagnostic connectivity test in iTunes, and all lights are green except the one indicating that an iPod/phone/pad is plugged in. I've restarted the iPad, I've restarted my laptop, both numerous times, I have no firewall/antivirus running (as per older posts I've seen here) and still nothing. Today I plugged it into my mother's laptop, and iTunes recognized it without a problem, so I'm assuming it's something to do with my laptop. Anyone have any suggestions?

Folks,
I had this problem with my PC (windows 7, 64-bit) and my iPad. After messing with it for a long time, I finally found the answer (bad USB driver). The following two step process should help resolve these kinds of problems more quickly.
The first step is to verify that the iPad (or iPhone) is really connected to your computer. This can be (really) checked using a program called USBDeview. You can get this (very small) program from http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html or http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Don't worry, it's not Spyware or Malware.
Just run the program and sort on the 'Connected' column. If your iPad or iPhone doesn't show up as Yes (under 'Connected') then your iDevice is not properly connected to your computer. Could be a cable problem. Could be an iDevice problem. Could be a USB hub problem. Note that your iDevice might be listed as what it is (iPad or iPhone) or it might be listed as 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the 'Description' column.
Apple has a number of ideas to resolve this sort of basic connectivity issue, including switching USB ports, resetting your iDevice, rebooting your iDevice, rebooting your computer, etc. You will need to try them until your iDevice shows up in USBDeview as 'Yes' under Connected.
If you iDevice shows up as 'Yes' under connected, it should also be visible in the Device Manager (found in the Windows 7 Control Panel under Hardware and Sound). You might find it under Portable Devices or it might be under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
The iDevice may or may not show up in the Windows Explorer. On some machines it does, on others it does not. Why is not clear.
If the Idevice is properly known to Windows and iTunes can't see it, then any number of other things could be wrong. Apple has a list. See the very useful page over at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. Testing shows that the Apple Mobile Device service must be running. Check this using Task Manager (started by right clicking the taskbar). Note that the iPod service and the iphlpsvc service must also be running. These services have different names under the Processes table versus the Services tab of Task Manager.
AppleMobileDeviceService.exe - Apple Mobile Device
iPodService.exe - iPod Service
ItunesHelper.exe - iphlpsvc
Step 4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 checks if the Apple Mobile Device USB is installed. This is essential and a common source of problems. In at least some cases, Windows will install the 'MTP USB' driver. Indeed, Windows will reinstall this driver if you uninstall it. The MTP USB driver is essentially a Windows bug (possibly caused by Microsoft). You must replace the MTP USB driver with the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Step 4 explains how to do this. Note that you must use the 'Have Disk' approach. Otherwise, Windows will just reinstall the invalid MTP driver.
The Apple doc indicates that you can find the correct driver at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. Perhaps this is correct on some systems. You may find the correct driver in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
iTunes could make this a lot easier by checking if the iDevice is known to Windows (what USBDevier does) and if the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is properly installed for the iDevice. Sadly it doesn't perform either check. Note that iTunes does if some of the related services (see above) are actually running.

IPad not recognized by iTunes

I have the following problem:
My new iPad is not connecting to iTunes. When I insert the USB cable I hear the USB-connect sound of windows, but in iTunes nothing happens.
However my previous iPad and iPhone are connecting without any problems. I followed all the steps in the guide on the Apple Support page, including completely deleting and reinstalling iTunes. Nothing helped.
My stuff:
OS: Windows 7
Itunes: latest version
iPad with retina display, iOS 6.1 - the new one that will not connect
iPad 2, iOS 6.1 - connecting without problems
IPhone 4, iOS 6.1 - connecting without problems
Can anyone help me and solve this problem of my new iPad not connecting to iTunes?

I found a solution. It seems that Windows had a setting selected that drivers are not automatically installed if not available on the computer. So I changed this setting and my iPad was immediately recognized.
For people with the same problem: I went to: Control Panel > Devices and printers. Under Unknown I saw my iPad, so I right clicked and selected: Solve problems. Then it said something about missing drivers so I chose to install them. In addition the problem solve wizard pointed me to the setting in windows that drivers are not automatically installed.

IPod Help needed from serious Apple gurus - iPod Touch 2g 16g stuck in restart loop. Will NOT enter DFU or recovery mode, NOT recognized by iTunes on Windows or Mac

Ok, so here's the not so sad story. I bought an iPod Touch 2g 16g through Ebay - so forget warranties. Luckily I did not pay much. The description said it was stuck on the apple logo, so I figured it would be an easy put into recovery mode and restore problem.
Not so much.
If you plug the iPod in and charge up the battery the LCD will come to life after a while with the apple logo, then it displays the spinning wheel with the apple logo over it. That will last anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, then the iPod will go blank for a few secs and then start up the cycle all over again.
As stated, this iPod will NOT enter either DFU or recovery mode and believe me I've tried it several times several different ways with different timings, connected via USB to a Mac, connected to a different Mac running Windows, and connected to just the charger. Nothing. Occasionally the screen might go blank while holding the power and home buttons but nothing else happens and then it starts it's usual cycle again.
Again, iPod NOT recognized by iTunes on either Mac or Windows side. Since I got off Ebay and seller didn't know much about it, I have no idea if someone tried to jailbreak this or not.
I will not put much money into this machine. So I guess my question is: does this behavior mean that the motherboard is clearly fried? Are there any software programs that might diagnose what the problem is? Could it be as simple as a fried battery?
And most importantly, is this iPod simply toast or is there anything anyone can suggest????
Really any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Seems a shame to just trash an iPod touch that might need a simple fix...
If it helps matters, I can tinker with iPods somewhat and have torn down and replaced several iPod touch 1g and 2g glass and digitizers with no problems. I'm somewhat software savvy but the whole jailbreak thing is new territory... and I can't really figure out the command in Windows or Mac terminals to list all connected devices so I have no idea if the computer even knows the iPod is there, even if iTunes doesn't. Guess that's it... ummm, please help???

Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

IPad not recognized

I have an iMac dual core and bought a new iMac Core i3. When I set up the new iMac, I restored my files from a Time Machine backup. Mistake, I now had two machines with the same iTunes files and my iPad and iPhone were no longer recognized by either. I deleted the iTunes files on one computer. I reloaded iTunes on both. I reset the iPhone and the iPad. I was able to synch both with the new computer. I restarted both computers and I could still synch with the new computer. I shutdown and 24 hours later the new computer (and the old computer) would not recognize the iPad or the iPhone. I reinstalled iTunes and everything worked again. I shutdown and restarted, everything worked. Now, 24 hours later, the new computer will not recognized the iPad or the iPhone once again. Any ideas or experience?

De-authorizing failed on both computers. Being authorized or not doesn't seem to explain why neither computer would recognize the presence of the iPad or the iPhone after 24 hours but would do so immediately after iTunes was reinstalled. I think there is a difference between not syncing and not recognizing that the devise is attached.
That said, what seems to have worked:
I deleted everything associated with iTunes on the older computer and reinstalled it with no data files. I reinstalled iTunes on the new computer which allowed me to attach the iPad and load the OS update. Following that I loaded the OS .4 update on the new computer. Following that, I reinstalled iTunes on the new computer and shared its files with the old computer. Both are still authorized as 2 of my five allowed computers. So far, that seems to be working.

IPad not recognized by my Dell computer

My iPad is not being recognized by my laptop. I have used the USB port to try to transfer pictures in my laptop to my iPad but it does not recognized or even show that the iPad is connected to the computer. Additionally, the indicator for charging states "not charging". The iPad had already been replace once for a malfunction but I suspect they (sales/technical individual) failed to recognized that the iPad does not charge with other computers, so my original iPad had been replaced. How do I get this one to "register" with my computer?
Thanks for any advise.
EO

The 'not charging' is normal. Very few computers have a powerful enough USB to charge an iPad (technically it does charge, just very, very slowly, triggering the 'not charging' warning)
Like the others have suggested, try different USB ports, if you're using a hub or extender stop and plug it directly into your computer. Uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Then go through those troubleshooting and restore protocols.
SInce computer configurations vary from person to person there's no single quick fix. You just have to try and work your way thorough stuff to get the driver back.
