Why does Ipad lock after failing your RESTRICTION code

Why Does the ipad lock after failing your RESTRICTIONS passcode I mean what could possibly changing restrictions have to do with people doing stuff bad on you ipad why make it lock you from your ipad tell me why apple WHY

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
As far as I know Apple haven't said. What's your definition of 'bad stuff' ? Being able to disable restrictions can potentially unhide the App Store and/or iTunes store apps, and allow in-app purchases to be made - therefore allowing purchases to be made on your account.

  • Why does ipad dim after turning off auto dim

    my ipad continues to dim slightly back and forth despite the fact i turned off auto dim, why?

    Have you tried closing the scrabble app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the scrabble game 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the scrabble app to close it (you could also 'close' the apps that are in the taskbar), and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    A third option would then be to delete and re-install the app and see if that makes any difference

    My iPad locked after 1 incorrect passcode entry and I tried what a senior advisor told my to do, but it could not download the info unless I entered the correct pass code, which I can not do since it does not give me the opportunity.  How do I get the window to enter my pass code?

    ‘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.

  • Why does iPad 3 4G constantly restart after 8.3 update only when docked with iMac?

    Why does iPad 3 4G constantly restart after 8.3 update only when docked with iMac?

    That question is impossible to answer without more information. What troubleshooting steps have you performed? Did you try using another cable? Did you try using another USB port on the Mac? Did you reboot the Mac and reset the iPad? Have you tired restoring the iPad?

  • Why does iPad say connection to server failed when I am at home and have wi-fi, Why does iPad say connection to server failed when I am at home and have wi-fi

    Why does iPad and 4s iPhone say connection to server failed.  I have been getting mail until this started popping up going to beat with sledgehammer

    Hi -I was having the above problems on both my ipad and iphone,  and I trawled the internet for hours and hours trying to find a solution to this.....tried  resetting both devices,signing back in to the mail app, and did a full reset of both iphone and ipad., I removed the email account from both devices too.. I knew that the problem occurred after receiving an email- as it happened whilst opening the email- you might not have realised that's what it was at the time?.... I tried deleting the email from both phone and ipad, and hotmail was working fine on a webpage,it was JUST the mail app that was giving the  error messages..... I was receiving the above message and ' cannot send mail- an error occurred while sending this message'  and ' cannot get mail- the connection to the server has failed' then I suddenly realised that even though I had deleted the mail from both ipad and iphone the message was still in trash, so I emptied trash and made sure the mail was completely removed from my hotmail account ANYWHERE and then the problem disappeared.....I think an email I received was maybe corrupt- I hope this at least helps someone and saves you the hassle it caused me!
    Good luck!!

    Right or control click the Safari app in the Applications folder then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel, look for the Safari version number. If it's prior to Safari 6, updating to Safari 6 may help.

    That will automatically download this file >  Safari6Lion.pkg.download
    Now quit Safari.
    Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
    Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Why does my lock screen glow green?

    Why does my lock screen glow green? It does it quite often, no affects on  the phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Why does ipad has the same ios like the Iphone4s ,it should be different than iphonewhy does ipad has the same ios like the Iphone4s ,it should be different than iphone

    why does ipad has the same ios like the Iphone4s ,it should be different than iphone

    Having one iOS that works across several platforms is one of the advantages of the iOS system. This allows developers to produce one software product instead of several and reduces development time and costs. This is a fundamental difference between iOS and Android operating systems where operating system varieties impede development.

  • Why does ipad say my email password is incorrect?

    Why does ipad say my email password is incorrect when I have reconfirmed it multiple times?

    It could be that another setting that you entered is incorrect. Review all settings. Sometimes it is easier to delete the account from the iPad and reenter all seetings.
