iPad Disabled Connect to iTunes

I have 4th Gen and this is what worked for me!! Thanks 56!!!

That image means connect the iPad, by its cable, to a computer‘s iTunes. What happens when you do that, does your computer’s iTunes recognise it ?

Whooops. After re-reading it's not an exploit. Still requires you to sync to the last computer you synced with in the past. That's actually by design, not an exploit. Thought at first we were talking about a different computer here, haha.

Hi !! I'm having a problem not much important

I'm having an iphone 4s and i have some apps(games) in it my brother plays it all the day and finishes charge in it so can you help me out ( if there is some app available in the app store in which i can have password for apps on my i.o.s

Or if there is a apps passcode locker in the i.o.s setting) please help me out i will be very thankful to you!!!!!!

It's kind of embarassing

The Texas Mac Man hack does not work if "Find my iPad" is turned on. iTunes won't restore the device if this is the case, you need to turn "Find my iPad" on the device off first. Yeah, right.

The only thing you can do when "Find my iPad" is turned on is completely recover it.

This didn't work for me. I'm still getting the message in iTunes to saying to do something on the iPad. Is there any other way around this? I'm trying unlock this iPad for my boss without losing data.

I tried the suggestion by Texas Mac Man. It doesn't work. One thing that would be helpful. When you, this goes for everyone, are providing a solution and you are giving step by step directions, please state Mac or PC, iTunes version and iOS device. Apple is coming out with frequent updates to iTunes and iOS and although the solution might have worked on an older version of iTunes or an iOS device, it doesn't mean it will work with the newer stuff. When you are creating directions please state what you are using to help create the directions.

With that said, I tried the directions offered by Texas Mac Man on iTunes 12.4 and on iPad Air running 9.2.3. This is a student iPad. After you open iTunes and connect the iPad you are hit with a message about the iPad being in a lock state. No way to get around that message except to put the iPad in recovery mode. Next, you will be hit with a message Restore and Update. Again, you don't have a choice. Next, iTunes has to go out and download the latest software. Next, once that has finished, the iPad will start to restore and update itself. Once this process starts, you have to let it finish. There is no X to cancel out of the process and you don't get any Xs to cancel out of anything. Unfortunately, you have to let the process finish.

If someone has a different experience than me, please share the information. We all can learn from each other.

When are you getting the message to respond on the iPad ? If pretty much immediately then you haven't successfully put the iPad into recovery mode ; if after 15+ minutes it's likely to have timed out and come out of recovery mode as above

I already updated my itunes since yesterday but donno what version it is, i'll check it later i'd followed step doing recovery mode but like i said everytime i plugged the ipad those two pop up massages appears immediately and i can,t respond on the ipad cause is disabled

If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising that it's in recovery mode (it does recognised the iPad ?) it sounds like you haven't successfully got it into recovery mode. Have you got access to a second computer that you could try with, or is there an Apple Store or authorised repairer that you could try ?

Some guy named King_Pequin is sending me 15-20 emails a day after I went into apple support community to try and solve one small problem. I would like to stop getting all these emails about everyone's problems!

Thank you iTunes user 56!

My iPad was originally synced with my MacBook, but i've updated the operating system twice (first to Yosemite and recently updating again to High Sierra) while my iPad 2 was in my bookshelf. I have also moved since last using my iPad, so my wifi couldn't connect to the iPad either. When I dusted it off and went to connect it, I had the same problem as people who had never connected their iPad to a computer before. A message that said "To allow access, please respond on your iPad..." and my iPad continued to be in disabled mode.

I followed your directions and got back in and was able to reset up my iPad with my Apple ID! Thanks again😁

Thanks so much Texas Mac Man. I have the new iOS 7 and I didn't have a backup so I just clicked "set up as a new device" and then cancelled immediately, IT WORKED!!! YOU ARE AWESOME MAN!

Thanks Texas Mac Man! Your suggestion worked. You're a star!

Following the advice (texas mac man), what if the ipad hasn't been synced with itunes ever?
