I have an old IPad mini that I want to give to my niece since I purchased a new IPad mini. Unfortunately it is locked and when I turn it on it says “IPad is disabled connect to ITunes “. How do I get it unlocked?
Hello,
The iPad is locked with Activation Lock. There is no way around unlocking Activation Lock without inserting the device’s associated Apple ID. If this is not an option you will have to find the original receipt for the device that clearly shows the serial number. Once you have this document you will need to take this document and iPad into an Apple retail location.
