Disabled IPad can be reset using the recovery mode

Someone with a good it knowledge doctored iPad without permission and now it can be reset using the recovery mode. While that plugged into iTunes, software downloads, iPad, then displays the Apple symbol but then returns the message "iPad is disabled connect to iTunes".

Hi stephen158,

I understand that, in the process of restoration of an iPad in recovery mode, your iPad rebooted and returns to the screen "connect to iTunes". This can occur if the software download takes longer than 15 minutes, how the iPad will exit Recovery mode and the software will continue to download. In this case, you should be able to put the iPad in recovery mode and choose to restore the device when prompted.

  1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend or go to an Apple Store or service provider authorized Apple for help.
  2. When your device is connected, force restart it: press and hold the sleep/wake and home for at least 10 seconds, and only release when you see the Apple logo. Keep until you see the screen in recovery mode now.
  3. When you see the option restore or update, choose update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Please wait while iTunes downloaded the software for your device.
    If the download takes more than 15 minutes the device out of recovery mode, you must repeat these steps and choose restore instead of update when you return to this step.
  4. After the update or restore is complete, configure your device. If you have backed up your device with iTunes or iCloud and you need to restore your device in step 3, you may be able to restore from your backup during installation.

  • I can repair windows using the recovery CD?

    Your Manfacturer computer provides support for recovery Vista for your license of OEM pre-installed Vista, not Microsoft.

    If you bought a computer "in white", you could then buy a retail Vista disc/license from Microsoft and installed.

    Microsoft Vista DVD that contains all Recovery Options.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them why THEY do not provide what you want.

    They are only required to give you the means to reinstall Vista, which they have done in the easiest way possible. either by drive recovery or a recovery Partition.

  • Air iPad - iTunes does not recognize the recovery mode because it detects that the device is locked with a password

    Well I'm really frustrated here. I have an iPad Air that I bought for my roommate who unfortunately passed away in October, and so his family gave me his iPad Air and all the other things I had bought for him.

    Here's the question. iTunes appears whenever I turn it on and says he can't go because its locked with a password. Good not much according to Apple's site, I reboot into recovery mode... Problem is... nor iTunes 11 or 12 will be pop - up and say its been detected in recovery mode, even if I restart the computer and then reopen iTunes.

    What I'm missing here? I am running Windows 8.1, the computer recognizes that its been plugged with two modes... It is the thing of most frustrating I've ever lived and I can't do it in recovery unless its connected to the computer. I tried pressing the home key, which starts just the iPad as usual, as soon as I fix the cord. Also, I don't know what version of the software is (I guess 7 since he never really used) - apparently different versions of the software have different recovery quirks.

    I tried the DFU instructions and powers of the iPad on the same before Apple logo the first 3 seconds that you are supposed to hold down the power button.

    I am disabled and home because of the panic and anxiety so go to the Apple store isn't something that would be easy for me so if anyone has a solution, I'm all ears.

    It was easier to make a gold card HTC that is to delete this thing and that says a lot, considering the amount of work went into those back in the day...

    One last thing. iTunes will NOT open if the iPad is already connected. I have to unplug it, forcing iTunes close then reopen.

    You should try to do a hard reboot on the air of the iPad, press and hold the power button and the home button until the apple logo appears.

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • Pavilion p6506f: System Recovery option grayed out when you use the recovery to factory default reset disk

    Dear experts,

    Please help me on what I am making a solution for about 4 hours now...

    Somehow my recovery partition is damaged, so I use the recovery disk that I created when I bought the computer.

    I used the disc to start the computer and after loading files and everything on the menu of Recovery Manager "System Recovery" is grayed out.  Note that I have not changed any hardware on the computer.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You did do the right thing. But you created a Win 7 recovery disk, not the game of HP recovery disks.

    You can switch to Win own 10.

    You will need the product key Microsoft of the COA sticker attached to the frame of your PC of 25 characters.

    Images of example COSTS:

    Do a clean install of win 10 If you do not know the product key of Windows 7 on the certificate of authenticity.

    Win 7 PC sometimes have problems updating to Win 10.

    I really think you should get support from HP Win 7 recovery. If the Win 10 upgrade fails you can always return Win 7 If you have a Win 7 HP recovery media.

    Your choice.

  • Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

    I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

    With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

    My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

    Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
    I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

    If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

    I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

    Thanks in advance,
    Yossi Beck

    Hey Yossi

    I think you have misunderstood something!

    You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

    Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

    So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
    This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

    Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

    but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
    That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

    Hello

    You can save your data if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then, you can connect it to a laptop or PC and you can save the data on it or burn it to a DVD.
    All that s!

    These cases of disc HARD external are very good markets. I bought my drive enclosure external HARD on eBay and it s works well.

    But there is no other way to save the data as the Toshiba recovery disc erase the whole HARD drive and every disk HARD will be erased.

  • Is there a limit on the number of times you can use the recovery CD

    I have a desktop a6242n and the failed hard drive, I installed a new and inserted the recovery CD and it comes up with the message that this is not the correct CD for this computer. I made them when I first got the computer and used without problem. Is there a limit on the number of times I can use the recovery CD? If I buy a new game that will work?

    Hello

    There is no limit to how many times you can perform a recovery from the discs. The issue is likely because the hard drive does not have DMI information loaded on it. You will perhaps call HP and order a set of recovery disks and ask them to guide you through access to tools on the recovery disk to reload this information on the disc, assuming they are available.

    Good luck!

    Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

    These things depend on the operating system and the file system.

  • Can not switch to OSX Recovery Mode: looking for the keyboard and magic mouse

    I'm trying to reset my end 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz/i7/16GB to factory settings to try to get the machine a new lease on life.

    However, when I try to enter in Recovery Mode (in now command ⌘ + R when the system starts up), the machine will stop to a screen showing the instructions to turn on a magical keyboard and Magic Mouse.

    I have a trendy apple (USB) keyboard and a USB mouse is connected.

    How can I activate these entries, or how can I pass this screen looking for a keyboard/Magic Magic Mouse?

    [I guess one option is to use a magic mouse or a magical keyboard - I have in my office - but it is not sensible that you need them to access recovery mode].

    Thank you

    Got my Magic Mouse of the office, got into recovery mode. Surprised, you need a Magic Mouse, and who does not have a USB mouse to the recovery mode!
