Relative died. One other relative attempting to utilize their iPad (sixth Era A1893) gave it to me (the household “tech guru”) as a result of it needs a passcode and he by no means wrote them down. They do not care about protecting any content material, they only would slightly not throw it away. I plugged it into my laptop (working Catalina). The iPad wouldn’t seem in Apple Music (1.0.6), or iTunes (10.7, I preserve it as a result of it has depreciated options I like), or within the Finder.
There may be nothing indicating it’s locked by the Discover-My characteristic. After some analysis, I put the iPad into Restoration mode. It appeared within the Finder. I ran the Restore possibility. After a while, the method was accomplished and the iPad rebooted. Sadly, it nonetheless wished a passcode. I attempted a random passcode and it now says “iPad is Disabled. Hook up with iTunes” (which, as famous, it doesn’t seem in iTunes).
After extra analysis (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6146220), I attempted working Replace first. Sadly, after going via the method, I obtained the error “The iPad iPad couldn’t be restored. An unknown error occurred (2015).” I’ve accomplished extra trying, and all paths appeared to result in https://help.apple.com/en-us/118106. Nonetheless, I’ve already accomplished all of those steps.
So what do I do if I get the 2015 error whereas following the directions for the 2015 error?
Moreover, if this IS locked by Discover-My, would they should undergo his iCloud account to unlock it because it not presents passcode entry? (If that’s the case, why does it insist I join it to iTunes which presents no such entry?)
