Ipad is disable + broken home button + not recognized by itunes Hello everyone! I have an old ipad air (a1474), and it has became disable, with the screen saying " Ipad is disable, connect to Itunes". I tried to do that, but the ipad is never recognized by the computer. To which I read that the solution was to make a restore, but I cant do that becouse my home button is broken, which means I cant put it into recovery mode. Also, I tried, reiboot, dr fone and 4ukey, but none of those work because the ipad is just not recognized in the computer. (Cable is perfect, also computer, and I tested with my other ipad which worked flawlessly) Any suggestions?

'iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes'. on iPad Air 2 this is not working: Connect your device to your computer while holding the Top button. Keep holding the Top button until you see the recovery mode screen. my iPad opens to the homescreen displaying the error message 'iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes'. I can't access the recovery mode screen.

If the home button doesn't work, you can't use recovery mode.

Make an appointment at an Apple store for help.
