Kids enter wrong pass code ipad disabled so have to loose all data and reset, which then doesn't even work and comes up with an error 3194 after hours of trying I've had enough, £500.00 down the drain pictures and videos of family gone and can't be replaced so upset, I don't understand why connecting to iTunes and entering my Apple ID and password is not enough to verify its me and then allow me to simply reset the pass code on the ipad without having to waste hours wiping it clear and reloading all data all for nothing in the end. This is ridiculous and has made my mind up to not spend any of my hard earned money on any of apples advertising hype bull again fu apple.

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), Apple is ****

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE

1. Turn off iPad

2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)

3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port

4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)

5. Release Home button.

ON COMPUTER

6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.

As far as losing photos and data is concerned, this can happen to any computer. That's why it is so important to regularly make backup copies of important information. If you had a regular backup routine, and then didn't let your kids play around where they shouldn't have, you would not be in the fix you're in.
