Why won't my ipad open with the correct pass codWe?

My ipad will not open even though I type in the correct pass code.

Either you are mistaken about the correct passcode or someone changed it.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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 canceling 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 won't my email work with the correct password?

    tthe mail I submitted through my iPad has worked just fine, but lately, it says I can't send mail because my password is incorrect... Yet I still continue to receive mail.  I have made sure my password is correct but it doesn't help.  I tried uninstalling my mail then reinstalling it, but same thing... I get mail but I cannot receive it.

    I'm having the same problem with a brand new iPad. Have deleted and recreated the account many times, reset passwords etc etc etc. Now BT have said to take it into an Apple shop! Funny that Apple support yesterday said to contact my email provider!!

  • Why does safari 5.1 open with the last page from previous session?

    I don't want Safari 5.1 to open with the last page from the previous session.  How do I stop it?

    I too would like to manually or automatically open the windows and tabs I had open from the previous session, but I want to configure this per application.  In a browser for instance, I can have many windows and tabs open and it can take a lot of time to refresh them all. I would like to manually pick the windows/tabs I want to reopen. Before Lion I could restore the last session manually and I liked that ability. Firefox has a plugin for this And what if I reboot with no internet access, they all time out. With a word processor, spreadsheet, or xcode on the other hand, I like to start where I left off. Everything comes from local disk so the restart is fast. I want to control this by app, not globally. Sometime Apple can really be blind to the real needs of users, and that is to configure their envoronment the way the user needs, not the way Apple envisions the need of users.
    So Apple, please give ME the opportunity to choose the apps that auto reload the last sesion and give me a manual way to reload the last session on all apps that qualify.

  • Does a New iMac Always Open With The Correct Screen Resolution?

    This may sound a daft question but the other day I visited a friend and when he switched his 2 year old 24" iMac on, I was horrified to see black bands down each side of the screen.
    It was obvious he had an incorrect resolution. . . . . I think it turned out to be 800x600!
    Anyway I reset it to the correct 1920x1200 and he was amazed at the improvement!
    I asked him how it had got like that and he said it had always been that way.
    My immediate suspicion was that he had bought the machine second-hand from some idiot who had been fiddling with it but he assured me he had bought it new and that's how it had been from the start.
    From what I remember, all my computers have started off with the correct screen resolution and haven't needed any resetting.
    Any idea why this happened?

    Thanks Barbara and den.thed.
    Your suggestions will be helpful for anyone with a similar problem looking at this thread, however, they don't apply in this case. (Hope that doesn't sound bad! LOL)
    This friend bought the iMac a couple of years ago simply to edit with Final Cut Pro. He doesn't use it for anything else and it isn't even connected to the internet. (He uses a PC for all mundane chores like that).
    He claims that upon initial startup it displayed the 4:3 desktop image and assumed it was normal for his machine . . . . . . . . though he must have seen others in the shops displaying correctly.
    Incidentally it may not have been 800x600, but it was certainly an incorrect 4:3 aspect ratio.
    As he is a very intelligent and skilled film maker and editor I am surprised that he never queried it, after years of using PCs.

  • Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

    Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
    If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
    Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
    Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
    SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
    I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
    So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general-  reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
    Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
    Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
    Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
    Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
    all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
    Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
    it would be much appreciated.
    Amnesty

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Why won't my Firefox open with my home page instead of a blank tab?

    The browser always opens in a new tab even when I have it set to open in my home page. When I have Firefox set as my default browser it opens in a new blank tab when I click a link in a document or email. The only time I get my home page on opening Firefox, is if the browser is already open and I choose to open a new window. However, when I do that I lose my yahoo toolbar settings for the newly opened window. Yes, I have tried removing cookies, and that does not work. This problem is exasperating, I do not like IE, but I use it because it opens links without my having to keep the browser open all the time.

    Hi tigerleatoo, I'm not sure I understand your question.
    When you launch Firefox using its program icon, you should get your preference from the following tab:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General > "When Firefox starts"
    So in your case, you should see your home page(s).
    When Firefox is completely closed and you launch it using a link in email or a document, Firefox usually will ONLY open that linked page and nothing else. Are you getting a blank tab in addition? Do you want your home page in addition?
    Is the problem that you want external links to open a new window when Firefox is already running?
    Firefox tries to follow your preference for new tabs vs. new windows for both internal and external links.
    In other words, if you have set Firefox to open new windows in a tab here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Tabs
    Then external links will usually open in an existing window rather than in their own window.
    There is a way to split these so they behave differently, but because the steps are detailed, I won't burden you with those unless you need them.

  • Why won't Notes stay open since the latest OS update?, why won't Notes stay open since the latest OS update?

    Since the recent OS update (Nov. 2013)  when I open Notes it only stays open for a second then shuts down.  I cannot figure out where to go to fix it.  Please help!  All my meeting notes & to do lists are there.
    tnx.

  • Why won't keynote always open to the newest update?

    I recently updated keynote; however, i am having trouble with it. Whenever I open keynote, it will occasionally open up the new version but most of the time, it opens in the older version. How can I get it to always open and be on the newly updated version of keynote?

    Is there anyway I can obtain the older version of keynote, namely Keynote '09?
    Because this version is able to open keynote files of 5.3 version format. The only other way I can think of opening old, important presentations is to use some file format migrator - which I haven't found any. App store seems to only allow the download of the latest keynote software.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Why won't my iPad connect at the hotel?

    I am staying at a Comfort Inn in Gettysburg.  Why does my laptop and phone connect, but not my iPad?  This is VERY frustrating and an issue that not exist!
