Welcome to AppGeeker's channel and Via here. If you get iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes
error on your iPhone and can't unlock it, we'll show you how.
Your iPhone will become disabled if the passcode is guessed incorrectly in a row more than
5 times. After more than 10 times wrong passcode entries,
iPhone will be completely disabled and ask you to connect to iTunes.
Here, we'll show you how to connect to iTunes when iPhone is disabled and two other ways
to unlock disabled phone. Before getting started, note that when iPhone
is disabled and says connect to iTunes, the only way to fix and unlock the device
is to factory reset it. All your data will be gone forever unless
you get a backup in iCloud or iTunes.
Got it? Okay first, open iTunes. If you're using a Mac with latest macOS version, run
Finder. Then, turn off your iPhone. In iPhone 8 or later models, connect it to
computer and hold the Side button. In iPhone 7, hold the Volume down button after
connecting it to the computer. In iPhone 6s or earlier models, get the phone
connected to iTunes or Finder while holding the Home button.
When you see the recovery mode screen, release the button.
It should be a cable pointing to a computer or iTunes icon.
Next, go to iTunes or Finder. Locate your device and click it.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you'd like to update or restore it.
As doing an update won't fix the "iPhone is disabled. Connect to iTunes" message, you'll
need to choose Restore option. Here, press the Restore and Update button.
Click Agree button.
Then, iTunes or Finder will download a latest iOS software package
to restore your disabled iPhone to its factory defaults, which may take around 15 minutes.
Now, the iPhone screen turns black then shows Apple logo with progress bar.
This means that it's erasing everything in your iPhone,
after which it'll install the downloaded iOS software into it to bypass the connect to
iTunes screen.
When all is done, your device will restart and boot up to Welcome screen.
Just walk through the Setup Assistant to set it up.
When you arrive at the Apps & Data screen, it'll remind you that you can restore the
backed-up data from iCloud or computer. If you don't have a backup, just select Don't
transfer Apps & Data. Now, your device will open without the connect
to iTunes message.
We know, some of you don't get on well with iTunes.
It's OK, as you can use iPhone Unlocker to restore your phone when it's disabled.
This tool devotes itself to unlocking any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when the lock
password is forgotten or it's completely disabled without much input

to iTunes. Now, launch the tool. Click Wipe Passcode.
Press the Start button. Next, connect your phone to the computer.
If the tool can't detect it, click Device connected but not recognized and follow the
steps to enter recovery mode. Once connected, select iPhone in Device Category
menu and choose the device type. The device model will automatically match.
Click Start button. Now, the software is downloading the firmware
package. Once done, enter "0000" in the field and press
Unlock button. It'll then get your iPhone out of the disabled
mode and unlock it. Then, your iPhone will be unlocked.
