HELP!!! my ipad mini is disabled and its never been synced.
I connected it to itunes and restored it as per iOS instructions but my device is still disabled and saying connect to itunes.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO to enable it???? 😢
iPad
If you restore with a computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode.
RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (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 iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
next question....
Is my device meant to turn itself on during the recovery process?
Meaning, out of recovery mode and turnings itself on as per normal
It will turn itself on when you hold down the Home button.
Thanks soooo much, it took a few more tries but it worked 😝
YOUR A LEGEND 🙂
You are most welcome 🙂
