If you’re an iPad user, you may have encountered a situation where you see the message “iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes” on your screen. This can be a frustrating experience, but luckily, it’s a problem that can be fixed. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of fixing a disabled iPad by connecting it to iTunes.
Step 1: Connect your iPad to your computer
The first step in fixing your disabled iPad is to connect it to your computer with the help of a USB cable. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. Once you have connected your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes.
Step 2: Put your iPad in recovery mode
To fix a disabled iPad, you need to put it in recovery mode. To do this, hold down the Home button and the Power button at the same time until you see the Apple logo on the screen. Then release the Power button but continue to hold the Home button until you see the iTunes logo on the screen. This indicates that your iPad is now in recovery mode.
Step 3: Restore your iPad
Now that your iPad is in recovery mode, iTunes should have detected it automatically. In the iTunes window, you should see a message that says “There’s a problem with the iPad that requires it to be updated or restored.” Click on the Restore button to restore your iPad.
Step 4: Wait for the restore process to complete
The restore process can take some time, but you’ll be notified when it’s complete. At this point, you’ll have the option to set up your iPad as a new device or restore it from a backup. If you have a backup of your iPad, choose the option to restore it from that backup.
