I have tried this with two Macbooks and several different charging cables so I know these are not the issue. The iPad just keeps looping on and off and finally back to the 'iPad disabled connect to itunes' screen. Because of that, I am not able to go into Recovery Mode. It is as if the computer does not detect the iPad. I have tried connecting to itunes/Finder however when attached to my Macbook, nothing happens. My daughter's iPad is disabled because she messed about with the passcode.

So no answers to this at all? I am in a similar boat…. Attached is what is on the screen now, it won’t connect to itunes anymore either. So I’ve tried a lot of combinations, I’ve also done this to other ipads before without issue, this one is belligerent.Īny ideas to get into recovery or DFU? I’m trying to factory reset without original icloud account since we don’t have it. I’ve also tried #2 with USB first unplugged, then when black screen plug into USB.I’ve tried all of the above with USB connected, then again without USB.When I try holding home and plugging into USB it boots up to ipad disabled screen and itunes never finds it.When I try holding power and home to turn off, then when black screen release power but keep holding home, it just goes back to the ipad disabled screen.When I try holding both power off and home button and never release them, it just keeps turning off, then apple logo, then off, then apple logo (keeps looping).I have tried multiple ways and directions on how to get this iPad, it’s model a1458, into either recovery or DFU mode, neither are working.

Enter dfu mode ipad 2
