to allow acesss please respond on your iphone, but my iphone isnt responding.. my phone is disabled and i need to fix this error asap

I know this question was post way back but I just encountered this same problem on my old iPad2.

Was frustrated for hours with the same problem of unable to respond on a disabled iPad.

Finally had a Eureka moment - decided to use "Find My IPhone" app on my other device. Confirmed this is the iPad in question by first selecting "Actions" and then "Play Sound".

Once I confirmed this is the cursed iPad, I selected "Erase iPhone" and then just followed the rest of the steps to restore the iPad to factory setting. It's as good as new!

Now waiting for this once condemned iPad to backup from iCloud.

I believe this method is superior to the documented Restore from iTunes (connected to PC or MacBook) method; which by the way, didn't work for me whole afternoon.

I had this problem too. I put my iPad/IOS device, into recovery mode then (hold sleep and home button) then I could restore my iPad from a computer(Mac). If your iPad is backed up in a computer/or iTunes, you haven't lost anything.

Victory! While stuck in the same catch-22 as everyone else, during a phone reboot cycle I plugged my phone into a power charger (not a computer) and poof, it put me into restore mode! From there I unplugged it from the charger and into my computer and I was able to use iTunes to complete the restore process.

This was with an iPhone 8.

Hope this works for at least some of you!

You need to expain the problem a little better. What are you doing when it asks you to respond on your phone?

I am having the exact same problem and i am about to through my phone at a wall !!!😠

Thanks Clyde,

Your instructions worked for my son's iPhone 4s that was disabled because he forgot his pass code. I had a heck of a time trying to solve this problem. Many thanks!!!!!

So don't put a passcode on your iPad.

I can't do this as my on off butto is broken so i cant turn it off. What to do?

My machine is corrupted like this "to allow access please respond On Your iPhone" when connected to itunes. How do I fix now?

This has been answered ,simple fix,please read my post.

I actually figured this out,replaced the complete digitizer and all is well again.

Thanks a lot .. It helped me

Nevermind it worked the 2nd time.

Even these forums are confusing. So are you saying that while installing Update in iTunes, ignore the prompt to allow access on this computer?
