My iPhone 6 is saying iPhone Disabled Connect to iTunes.

Before this i have never connected to iTunes and now i just have Contacts back up on iCloud.

My kids tried several attempts and it came into this situation. I definitely remember password.

Please help me else i will be loosing lot of my data which is very important to my work.

Depends upon whether there is the required software on the computer to do so - if it's timing out after 15+ minutes (as opposed to getting the message immediately due to it not having been put into recovery mode) that implies that you don't and it's having to download it.

Hi King_Penguin Ive tried the recovery mode several times and it's still not going to the recovery mode screen. I'm holding the two buttons down even after the logo pops up like instructed and i hold it for a few more seconds maybe half a minute to a minute and it brings me back to the lock screen where it says ipad is disable connect to itunes i have installed itunes on my computer and have the latest version. I'm not sure what else to do

here is what worked for me -

gen 1 ipad -

locked due to too many failed attempts -

this is what I did - -

pressed home & power at the same time > waited for ipad to shut down > kept pressing home button and reconnected to Macbook > restore screen appeared.

My friend puts the passcode entered too many times, then displaying a message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. but i do remember my passcode. How can i get it back as a normal screen to put the right passcode?

I did the same way. I pressed restore iPad and while it was restoring, it sent me a message asking me whether to allow the computer access data in the iPad then i pressed ok but then they sent another message saying 'to allow access please respond on your ipad' how can i respond while it is locked?

I am on a two-week backpacking trip across Scotland. I am writing a blog, which I can only post to when I reach towns with Wifi. Today when I took my iPad mini (three weeks old) out of my pack and turned it on it said "iPad disabled [,] connect to iTunes." I do not have a desktop or laptop. I have only an iPhone 5s. I don't remember failing to sign into the iPad, but I believe it was on (mistakenly) when I put it away, so the motion in the pack, sitting on the pack, etc., may have simulated multiple signon attempts. I have signed into iTunes on my phone and all it offers is stuff to buy. I am in desperate need to use my iPad mini. Is there any way I can undisable it? All the suggestions I've found on this forum require that it be connected to a "computer", which I don't have (at least not a conventional one) with me. I really need help. And thanks.

My son entered the wrong password to many times and now the ipad is blocked, it shows only a message...iPad is disabled connect to iTunes. I'm connected now to iTunes and the iPad is connected to the computer but don't know what to do next...

I had several problems while trying to restore - it wanted me to acknowledge the request on the iPad (can't it's locked) - the next solution required me to turn off the icloud services (can't it's locked)... this was the only thing that worked so THANK YOU!!!

the answer for this is simple. DO NOT RESET ANYTHING ON ITUNES. DO NOT EVEN CONNECT TO ITUNES AND DONT WORRY 🙂. everything will be fine. just do a hard reset. a hard reset is where you hold down your home button and your lock button until the iPad turns off and then hold it until it turns back on. I was freaking out about thirty seconds ago because my friend disabled it and i thought i would lose all my Notability Notes and unsaved photos. BUT i said let me just do a hard reset. and it turned back on. it will reset to "iPad is disabled try again in 60 minutes" which isn't nearly as bad as it being disabled forever. Simply do this, don't worry, and when the 60 minutes is up, MAKE SURE THE PASSWORD IS CORRECT or else it will be disabled again. have a great day guys 🙂

I figured it out!!!

Step 1 hold down lock button slide to shut down

Step 2 turn on computer open iTunes

Step 3 hold down ipad home button connect lightning cable

You will be prompted to restore, follow instructions.

If it's disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

I assume that your boss has been taking regular backups, in which case he/she shouldn't lose too much content when it's restored to their last one
