Question marked as
iPad disabled" means that your iPad is locked and cannot be used because you have entered the wrong passcode too many times, prompting you to connect it to a computer using iTunes (on older systems) or Finder (on newer Macs) to reset it and regain access to your device; this process will usually erase all data on the iPad unless you have a backup saved.
Key points about an "iPad disabled" message:
- Cause: Entering the incorrect passcode repeatedly on the lock screen triggers the disabled state.
- Solution: Connect your iPad to a computer with iTunes or Finder, and choose to restore the device to remove the passcode and reset your iPad.
- Data Loss: Restoring your iPad will erase all data unless you have a backup.
What to do if your iPad is disabled:
- Connect to a computer: Use the USB cable to connect your iPad to a Mac or PC.
- Open iTunes/Finder: Depending on your computer's operating system, open iTunes (older systems) or Finder (newer Macs).
- Select your iPad: In the software, select your iPad from the list of devices.
- Restore option: Choose the "Restore" option to reset your iPad and remove the passcode.
