g'day if you're watching this video
you've probably currently got this on
your screen right now
ipad is unavailable now if you haven't
come across iphone or ipad is disabled
this may be something new to you but
with ios or ipad os
15.2 and newer this is new the new ipad
is disabled screen
so what does that mean for you guys
sorry to say that it means this message
if you've got it that essentially your
data is already lost so it's already a
bit aware of bad news but that's bluntly
what's happened
essentially you've tried to enter the
password one five or one minute then you
had to wait 15 minutes or five minutes
then 15 minutes then an hour and you've
entered it wrong four times in a row so
then you're greeted by our friend
so once we get to this stage or
go on a bit of a rant i hated how apple
devices come up as disabled
and they give they say connect to itunes
they don't tell you how to do it they
don't tell you what to do it so in this
method i'm not going to be using itunes
to wipe the device to reinstall it i'm
going to be using a program called 3u
tools i find that a lot more simpler and
usually gives you a bit more control on
what you're doing with it
so
right now consider your data already
lost if you're seeing ipad is disabled
or ipad is unavailable that information
there is gone hopefully you do have an
icloud backup or some of your
information on icloud or save it locally
on a computer of yours or on itunes with
an itunes backup on your computer
anyway
so now that our data is lost where do we
proceed from here
let's go
so to begin with we're going to want to
download three usuals
which can be done off their website
called 3u.com so download that and
install it
so you should get a program once
installed should look like this
so what we're going to have to do now is
get the ipad
that's disabled into recovery mode so
this one's an ipad air 3 so a relatively
new model and this one does have the
home button
[Music]
which i should be able to power it off
and hold the home button
another device that i use quite
frequently is one of these which
definitely helps me get into recovery
mode a lot quicker
but for the sake of this argument i will
try and get it into recovery
so i'm going to press and hold the power
slide to turn off
and then i'm going to hold the home
button which on this one does physically
click and then plug the cord in and that
should get it into recovery so i'm
holding it down now
plugging it in
now memory serves me it should be this
it may not necessarily but we'll
experience that in just a second
bingo so now that we're in recovery mode
if we go back to the computer
we are in recovery or you want to go to
flash
and we need to download the operating
system so right now i'm going to be
downloading 15.31
and essentially once that's finished
downloading i want to go down in the
bottom here i don't want to retain the
user data because it's already lost
i'm going to go quick flash quick flash
wipes everything on the device
and goes from and reinstalls it from
there
so once that's downloaded i'll click
flash
download it on here i'm using 100 meg
internet connection so that's probably
going to take about
10 15 minutes
so let's go
bingo so the download is now completed
of
15.31 i'm now going to go quick flash
and then i go flash
a good connection between idevice and pc
can improve the flashing success
ipad spring 2019
flash
so from here we see this particular
screen
as it says the flash may take about 15
minutes to do
after a little while
this will change to a progress bar on
here
typically if it does fail do check your
usb cable do try a couple of other
different ones
also try
back usb ports try the usb 3s try the
usb 2's
potentially try your front usbs and if
you've got a few other cables you may
need to do that again
so with this particular one it did time
out on me while that download was going
so i did have to restart it once more
pressing turning it off with the power
button holding the home button and
plugging the cord in
but from here this should completely
wipe your ipad and make it usable again
it will request your apple id
information once it's done
so definitely know that have that on
hand always remember that or always have
it written down somewhere safe
anyway
that's the help with the ipad is
unavailable and also had a factory reset
and completely wipe an ipad air 3. i
hope this helps and i'll see you guys
later
bye
so right now it's just finishing up
we're saying reading data
there we go and it's now asking for an
icloud account which hopefully you know
to put your details there and either
enter me on here or you can enter them
in on the tablet
and it should hopefully be back up and
going once more
