My son locked himself out of his iPad and I tried searching how to fix it but nothing seemed to work. I stumbled upon your video and thought I'd give it a try. Within 20 minutes it was up and running again! Thank you so much!
After two days of struggling with ITunes to reset my locked Ipad, with Rick's RUclips Video I was up and running in less than 30 minutes, amazing, thank you Rick.
Instruction is very clear, concise and straightforward. I tried this but had encountered problem. It stopped at 18% regardless of using different laptop, pc, cord and ports. I believe this really worked but not for everyone. If this process doesn't work, you can try restoring your ipad using itunes. It worked for me. Just open the itunes, connect ipad using cord. Power off your device then long press the home button for recovery mode. There will be a pop up window, just click restore and wait for it to be downloaded for 15 mins. It will automatically restore your ipad.
I followed your instructions step by step and was able to fix my iPad. It was easy to understand, unlike some of the other videos I have watched. Thank you for the tutorial.
I hardly ever comment on videos but I have to on this one. I changed my iPad password to prevent my kids getting into it, but I did it while groggy and then my iPad died and I didn’t restart it until 1 week later. By then I was reminded I changed my password but could not remember it. I tried my old and more until it locked me out permanently. I came to terms with the fact that I’d lose all my data (I don’t back up to iCloud for my journal). I found this video and followed what was said. In the end I logged onto my iPad with my old password (the same as my phone) and to my pleasant surprise, I did not lose a single piece of data!! So THANK YOU!!!!!! 🙏🏻 you’re a hero!!
Some of the reviews for this don't make sense. This ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA works as well as any power strip I've used. Plug in what you need, be sensible about it & keep it movin' The construction is plastic but it's a sturdy piece. It has a single toggle switch & the swivel jacks are useful as well. Plugged in next to Tripp Lite Isobar takes some of these reviews with a pinch of sumthin' - does what it says & functions properly.Had for about a month. Perfect no complaints will update if anything changes.
Don't mind him, I think he is just promoting himself or helping his friends to promote their channel or WhatsApp Your method works perfectly fine Thank you🎉@@rickstechrepairs
Thanks Rick for the explanation. I have a 9th Gen Ipad new. Kido entered in passcode incorrectly somewhere down the line while we were initially setting it up. After some looking into what the hec to do I downloaded 3Utools and all 3 attempts failed at 19%. Personally while I am not a fan of apple products period, my husband says security is good - well you dont say! Error received at each failed attempt: ERROR: Device failed to enter restore mode. Please make sure that idevice is connected with the usb cable and Apple Device Driver is installed correctly (btw - brand new device!). So I changed cables, USB ports and it failed 2 attempts via 3Utools. Changed back to OEM cable and original USB port and restored via itunes successfully stupidly enough. Going through the comments here - i think it's hit and miss either way. I restored on a Windows 10 Laptop. What I did not expect at the end of restoring via itunes was for 3Utools to open and verify/check off restore as successful. It's a convoluted process as a whole IMHO.
Thanks for your comment! @fivelittlescholersca118! I was so frustrated with my iPad locked, tried all of the methods and apps available online, not worked. However, your comment inspired me to keep trying on the MacOs Catalina Mac and Finder function from Apple itself. And Voila! I could successfully restore my iPad now after 2 hours of frustration! And your comment right here was my only hope at the moment! Thank you thank you so much and wish you all the best for you and your family! Greetings from Macao, China!
You just saved me alot of time and money. Son mistakenly locked himself out of his ipad and I knew for sure i was gonna pay hundreds at apple store. Stumbled upon your video and boom got it working again. THANKS!
I have verified with apple support chat that once you see the "Ipad Unavailable" screen with no timer the apple store cannot recover the data only reset/restore backups , this blows my mind and I am still skeptical that this can be true! To add a "feature" that makes your files unrecoverable after 4-5 wrong passcode inputs seems crazy to me. BTW thanks for the vid/comment it helped me find the answers i was looking for. Looks like my family members data is gone with the wind. (no backups).
You're absolutely right. This feature makes me never want to own an Apple product again. Kids try to get into ipads all the time, they play around with it and press the wrong thing and you end up being locked out of your ipad and have to delete everything because it isn't backed up because you didn't pay for storage. Ridiculous.
Rick, for some reason on 3u tools when i try to download the ipads system it says "on the queue". I am not even currenty downloading anything. Why is this happening?? I waited for more than 10 minutes but it still said "On the queue".
This worked for me in 2023 on 16.6! thank you very much! For anyone struggling on the download part, just select the latest version that shows up on the list
Sir what will I do if it appears here when I download 15.4.1 still on the queue and not downloading what will be next step I'll do.thanks for your response
hey I know this is late and this video was made around 2 years ago everything worked except for the fact that it only shows me import and one iPad access not multiple so I'm not sure if that's the problem but when it downloads and I go to flash after doing fast flash it says error after staying on 1% for like 3 mins and I've tried more than 1 working cables so was wondering if you got any advice for that (my iPad is stuck on only iPad unavailable) and i don't think I got iTunes is that the problem?
This whole security feature needs to be chucked in the garbage in iOS 17. I don't know if it is new to iOS, but I know it is stupid. The whole point of me wanting to get back in my iPad is to recover what I do not want to erase with a factory reset. I don't understand how my ipad can still be connected to bluetooth and I can see my lock screen pic but I can't access my ipad. Why can't I just login the Apple ID page via my macbook and unlock the damn thing from there? SMH.
OH MY GOSH I HAD THE SAME THINGS AND DID THE APPLE SUPPORT STEPS BUT IT DIDN'T WORK 😭😭 SO I SCROLLED THROUGH RUclips FOR HELP AND FOUND YOUR VIDEO!! YOU'RE SUCH A LIFE SAVER MAN 😭😭 IT WORKED FOR ME THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️
At last, my iPad is restored! I tried all of apple support resolutions and none of them worked. I did the iCloud to erase iPad but guess what, my iPad was locked and obviously can't connect to internet so that did not work. I went on iTunes and it gave me a firmware error 3 times waiting all night to try over and over!! After many unsuccessful attempts I felt like apple just wanted me to buy a new iPad because recently my phone broke after an update!! Ugh!! I was about to give up until I saw this video again! Yes again! I saw it a while back and had to go back to my history to find it again! I was suspicious that this was not a good idea to use this source for potential malware but I was desperate! Im glad I went back and now I am back with my iPad I've had for 10 years. I have iCloud so I still have all my data I need! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Sir, God bless you. My 1 year old locked my nephews iPad and I’ve been near tears for hours trying every suggestion and nothing worked. Thank you so much.
My son locked his ipad this weekend. And of course I'm looking google how to unlock it. Tried so many different ways to know it did not work so frustrating, then I came across this guy. Mate, your a legend. Saved me going into apple store and paying someone to fix it. This was the easiest way to get it all started again. Thanks mate, I hope good karma comes your way. 👍🏾
I have a four year old Apple IPAD is unavailable that's why it won't let me in. It's. Locked up and on the bottom of my iPad I press on to unlock it won't let me in. What can I do?
thank you very much for your tip Glad this has helped you :) i also find when i flash a phone with 3utools and it fails it actually give me a usable error code to try and figure out the problem
After this instructions i have recovered an ipad 9 and updated to it's latest version. I think it is the best tutorial for this kind of stuff that exists around. Awesome stuff.
Dont trust youtube comments that say they can fix it!! It is a scam!! They will demand payment first, then put you through this fake process like they are working on it, then they will ask you for more money to complete the process. They promise it is the final step... $200 dollars later and they will ask for one last payment.... your ipad/iPhone or whatever they are trying to fix will not get fixed, they just scam you for your money. They try and get qs much money as they can out of you... they will try and make it look legit with "hacking software or screenshots" but it is all fake. If a apple product is locked and the owner cant recover the password or reset, then the apple product is dead. There is no way around it. This is the bad thing about Apple products. You dont know how many laptops and ipads get sold to a 3rd party to restore and resell but can't because they are locked. All they do is strip it for usable parts and junk the main board because of the proprietary lock. There is no way around it.
thank you so much!!! was in full panic mode and my kids locked me out of my IPad, and I couldn't get in thought that I was going to have to go to apple and prove that I bought it and then have a hassle of paying so much money.! You ROCK!!! thank you
after trying so many softwares watched ur video and tried on my locked ipad..its worked..tq for the sharing info..always try to post the videos like this useful...tq for ur video bhai
Thank you so much! It took me all day because I had to keep switching computers and cables 😅 but you saved me a ton of money since I had a few locked iPads thanks to my kids 🎉
i still come back to this vid everytime cause its so fkn good... every other tutorial is either tryna sell u some application or straight up doesn't work . love this
I have this problem and my charging unit-communication unit was damaged before this happened. In short, I cannot connect my iPad to my PC with a cable and it does not seem to do it with wireless neither. My iPad is unavailable and isolated physically. Do you know how to "hard factory reset" my iPad from within. (I know very well how to open my iPad and make surgeries to it. But, I have no idea where is the factory reset inside). Do you know where is the factory reset inside the iPad? It is a gen 8 iPad, with wifi + cell and 128 G of memory. Your help would be appreciated.
OMG! after watching you video and trying several time's, that is getting my brain to download your information. I finally was able to unlock my brand new Ipad I assume I wrote down the pass code , whatever wrong:( and thought I was stuck with the most expensive paper weight I ever bought! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
This is a lifesaver!! After a lot of attempts to restore the ipad pro, using restore and update on itunes, I thought it would be hopeless to fix at home, but this really saves us the time and the money to get it fixed at Apple Store. Thanks a bunch! And btw, I’m definitely subscribing here!
Great instructions, the recommended program is just fantastic. This video helped me to resolve a problem with my Wife's IPad. Thank you for your time, effort and presentation.
Dude this video SAVED ME !!!! I did exactly what you said and boom , my iPad was back and working within 20 min . You are very much appreciated 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanking you so very much I just fixed my sons iPad that has been off for 3years 🙈 finally decided to get it fixed and this was really helpful very grateful. Just a little note for anyone that might be wondering what I was wondering, you don’t need a Mac computer to do it, windows was fine for me. 🙏 thanks again for sharing this information
My screen is showing 'iPad Unavailable' but with a black screen. Also does not appear to be charging. Any ideas how I can do this procedure in my case?
It works with laptop macbook too !! When the process done it will show you that ipad is still unavailable then you have to turn it off and re-start. You will see Hello icon showed up on the screen. Thank you for your video so helpful
im having issues with my ipad my son got it onto the screen ipad locked press home button i did and nothing happened now i use itunes and it stuck on prepairing ipad for restore as the same with this software
If you have tried restoring the iPad on 3utools and iTunes and it's failing There might a more major fault with the iPad, Possibly try the restore on another computer and a different USB cable or contact a local phone PC repair shop
uh so i tried going on the website i was on a mac and i pressed the download button but my antivirus blocked it and said the download page was infected? should i turn my anti virus off and guess that it is safe?
Quick question, I tried to enter my iPad into recovery mode and it showed the recovery mode logo for a split second then turned off again , what do I do ?
Thanks, mate, it really worked ! I successfully managed to restore the ipad. To be honest, I tried iTunes but it didn't work. This software is really useful.
nope, I used my acer laptop, and it works just fine I think it should work for all ipads, just need to power off first, and then press the home button and the top button for 30 seconds, despite the wire connect to the laptop appears on your ipad screen or not, just connect it, and then leave off your finger that it's holding the top button, but the home button remains, and it should work, at least for me
Almost forgot to Thank Q. I tried Itunes (did not work, despite updating software). I tried another software that wanted a subscription and then I found you. Worked one time, now my Ipad 6th is up and running
just wondering, does it matter which operating system i download? i downloaded the most bottom one and everytime i try to do the last step it errors out on me and i get stuck on the apple logo screen with the loading bar until the ipad dies.
Found an ipad with the "iPad Unavailable" message for sale on ebay for super cheap, was about to buy it thinking I found a sweet deal until I got to the end of the video and realized I'd need the original icloud username and password to unlock. Nevermind then! Thanks for showing the whole process, glad I didn't buy it.
Hi mate great video! Im struggling a bit ive got my ipad plugged in and ive done the quick flash but it seems to get stuck on 19% and an ok button appears, when i click the ok it just goes back to the download screen and i have to reflash again. Any suggestions would be much appreciated cheers
My iPad is already on Recovery mode but it is not being recognized by my computer, the port is working, already tried changing ports as well but still the same.
Hello I followed all your step to the core but now I'm flashing it and it keeps on stopping at 18% does it take longer to leave 18% or it not working please what I'm I doing wrong Please reply me
I went from having iPad unavailable to using this program because it seemed easy. Now I have a bricked iPad. I should have done the long process with iTunes. I tried to take the easy route because the video made it look so simple.
@@rickstechrepairs well that’s the weird thing it said successfully completed process. I tried on iTunes after it said error with iPad. Then I tried last night with iTunes it worked. Seems like 3u works for a lot of things but it looks like somehow it glitched for me.
What if when I was resetting, the 3uTools said that my iPad was stuck in restore mode and it is stuck in the loading page and I can’t turn off my iPad?
Not all heroes wear capes. My grandmother (101) locked her iPad. Stressed, no more Wordfeud, until I found this video. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Glad I could help
My status says "on the queue" Instead of "downloading". It's been like that for 10 minutes. Any ideas what's happening?
restart the computer and try again
I try to do this was it normal that after the successful restore int the 3utools my iPad says “iPad unavailable try again in 7hr and 48 minutes”
hey what cable did you use to connect your ipad to your pc? Please help I need to connect my ipad 9th gen to windows laptop.
do you need an apple computer for this to work or can you use any type of computer?
This is for Windows computers
My screen is showing 'iPad Unavailable' but with a black screen. Also does not appear to be charging. Any ideas how I can do this procedure in my case?
It works with laptop macbook too !! When the process done it will show you that ipad is still unavailable then you have to turn it off and re-start. You will see Hello icon showed up on the screen. Thank you for your video so helpful
im having issues with my ipad my son got it onto the screen ipad locked press home button i did and nothing happened now i use itunes and it stuck on prepairing ipad for restore as the same with this software
If you have tried restoring the iPad on 3utools and iTunes and it's failing
There might a more major fault with the iPad,
Possibly try the restore on another computer and a different USB cable or contact a local phone PC repair shop
I can't get 3u for some reason it says that you can't open this application because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on Mac iOS
i dont have an alternative suggestion, do the same steps to get in to recovery and use itunes to restore
uh so i tried going on the website i was on a mac and i pressed the download button but my antivirus blocked it and said the download page was infected? should i turn my anti virus off and guess that it is safe?
this is for Wondows/PC
3utools isnt on mac
Don't believe the other click bait this guy actually works.
cheers
Quick question, I tried to enter my iPad into recovery mode and it showed the recovery mode logo for a split second then turned off again , what do I do ?
🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much. My toddler locked her iPad months ago I was over it. And we are officially restored ❤❤❤
cheers
What cord did u use, an iPhone charger and if so where did u connect it into? Is the app not available on phone??
1 month late but just use the normal iPad charger connect it to your laptop, and just follow all his instructions
It's an old iPad so I don't remember the apple id will it still potentially work?
No it will ask for the apple I'd after the wipe
Thanks for the tutorial. I really appreciated how straight forward everything was! Got my ipad back up and running!
Great to read you got it going again
I can't open the application 3u tools. it said microsoft windows application are not supported om MacOS. how can i do? stuck in this
Correct its windows only
Try a program called imazing
When using the 3u tool, why not click retain users data instead of quick flash mode ?
if you go retain user data, the phone will update but still be unavailable
@@rickstechrepairs ok thank u very much. I got it to work and just restored it from the cloud. Thank u for ur help and ur video
Your welcome :)
Thanks, mate, it really worked !
I successfully managed to restore the ipad.
To be honest, I tried iTunes but it didn't work. This software is really useful.
Cheers, I use 3utools over iTunes everyday
I can’t get my iPad model 8 into recovery mode. It it because I used a MacBook instead of a PC?
nope, I used my acer laptop, and it works just fine
I think it should work for all ipads, just need to power off first, and then press the home button and the top button for 30 seconds, despite the wire connect to the laptop appears on your ipad screen or not, just connect it, and then leave off your finger that it's holding the top button, but the home button remains, and it should work, at least for me
hey , my screen just turned black and my ipad won't turn on again what should i do
please help me
not sure on that one sorry will need to have someone see it locally to you
@@rickstechrepairs i tried again and it’s fixed now thank u so much u’re the best
Almost forgot to Thank Q. I tried Itunes (did not work, despite updating software). I tried another software that wanted a subscription and then I found you. Worked one time, now my Ipad 6th is up and running
excellent, great to read this has helped you :)
one question what wire is that that you used to connect it!???
normal ipad charger, it works perfectly fine for me, just follow the whole vid, and make sure not to skip any parts, be patient
so i don’t have any computers/Pc so does this mean i can’t get it fixed? or is there an alternative
You will need to take to to a local phone pc shop to do it for you
when l download it it docent com e up with that screen then what do l do?
just wondering, does it matter which operating system i download? i downloaded the most bottom one and everytime i try to do the last step it errors out on me and i get stuck on the apple logo screen with the loading bar until the ipad dies.

Bro for some reason im stuck at kernel cache Do you know what the problem is?
Have the same issue, did you find any solution?
@@MrAmgsilva yes
What is the solution?@@Real_F1reRupture
What is the solution??@@Real_F1reRupture
@@Real_F1reRupturewhat did u do to make it work plz help😭😭
It's ok if I forgot the iCloud password?
Is it necessary, or can I press forgot password and reset it
Ps: I don't have any other iOS device
Any update???
4:49 what if I forgot my apple id and the password? can i still fix the ipad?
without the password you are out of luck
so everytime i try to do this it keeps stopping at 18% and saying sending KernelCache then it says error so i’m not sure what to do
i suspect it might be a failed mainboard
Found an ipad with the "iPad Unavailable" message for sale on ebay for super cheap, was about to buy it thinking I found a sweet deal until I got to the end of the video and realized I'd need the original icloud username and password to unlock. Nevermind then! Thanks for showing the whole process, glad I didn't buy it.
No worries, good Job on the research prior to purchasing
Oh you basically you still need the iCloud password and username.
yes you do
It didnt fix but i can try it again for 8 hours (Ipad Unavaiable) HELP
Hi mate great video! Im struggling a bit ive got my ipad plugged in and ive done the quick flash but it seems to get stuck on 19% and an ok button appears, when i click the ok it just goes back to the download screen and i have to reflash again. Any suggestions would be much appreciated cheers
I'm getting stuck on 18% but I've tried using different USB ports, any advice?
different usb cable / ports/ maybe a different pc
My iPad is already on Recovery mode but it is not being recognized by my computer, the port is working, already tried changing ports as well but still the same.
Hi Sir,
The reset has to be done from Macbook or Apple Desktop? Or any desktop computer is fine ?
The 3utools version I use is on windows
Any is fine
Ricks Tech Repairs you don’t have the program for Mac ?
Can we backup data if possible cause it showed an option to back up the data.
If you are seeing the phone as disabled or unavailable, then unless you already have your data saved in iCloud it's basically gone
Hello I followed all your step to the core but now I'm flashing it and it keeps on stopping at 18% does it take longer to leave 18% or it not working please what I'm I doing wrong
Please reply me
same thing happened with me!
I went from having iPad unavailable to using this program because it seemed easy. Now I have a bricked iPad. I should have done the long process with iTunes. I tried to take the easy route because the video made it look so simple.
It should be as simple as in the video. Where did it fail, did it produce and error code ?
@@rickstechrepairs well that’s the weird thing it said successfully completed process. I tried on iTunes after it said error with iPad. Then I tried last night with iTunes it worked. Seems like 3u works for a lot of things but it looks like somehow it glitched for me.
5:18 I don't remember the password for my apple id, what will gonna happen if I'm not put the apple id account?
you will need to be able to recovery you password
otherwise you cannot proceed through the setup after its wiped
What a relief, got my ipad back functioning. Best video, thank you so much.
Good job
What if when I was resetting, the 3uTools said that my iPad was stuck in restore mode and it is stuck in the loading page and I can’t turn off my iPad?
do this and try again
support.apple.com/en-au/guide/iphone/iph8903c3ee6/ios
What should I do when the home button is not working? The home button is not registering anything, and I am unable to even get it into recovery mode.
4:34 im stuck at 16% and it says, “Unable to load RestoreRamdisk”, what should I do??
try this method to wipe

Hello. May I just ask what cord you put in the iPad to make it work? Thank you.
the charging cable, but will need to google your model of ipad and how to get to recovery mode
@@rickstechrepairs Thank you.
