How to fix ipad is disabled connect to itunes

1. For iPads with Face ID：

• Press and quickly release the Volume Up button
• Press and quickly release the Volume Down button
• Press and hold the top button
• Keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen

2. For iPads with Home button:

• Press and hold the Home and Top buttons at the same time
• Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen

Once in Recovery Mode, you can connect to a computer with Finder or iTunes to restore or update your iPad and unlock it.

Cons

• Once in Recovery Mode, the only way to unlock the device is by restoring or updating the system, which will erase all data on the iPad. Without a backup, this data cannot be recovered.
• For Face ID models, the button combination requires precise timing; if the sequence is not followed correctly, the operation may fail, preventing entry into Recovery Mode.
• You must connect to a computer running Finder or iTunes, and the restoration process requires a stable internet connection to download the firmware; a loss of internet connection will cause the operation to fail.
