Important Official Notes

Topic Official Recommendation / Warning Data Loss Both methods will permanently erase all data stored on the iPad, including photos, contacts, messages, and apps. This is unavoidable if the passcode is forgotten. Backup Availability If you have previously backed up your iPad to iCloud or your computer, you will be able to restore your data after the device is unlocked. If no backup exists, all data will be irretrievably lost. Activation Lock After erasing the device, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to disable Activation Lock and complete the setup process. This is an anti-theft security measure. Find My Requirement Option 2 (using Find My) only works if "Find My iPad" was enabled on the device before it became locked. If it was not enabled, you must use Option 1 (Recovery Mode). Internet Connection Option 2 requires that your iPad is connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network. Option 1 (Recovery Mode) does not require an internet connection on the iPad itself, but the computer must be online to download the software. Third-Party Software We strongly advise against using unauthorised third-party unlocking tools, as they may compromise device security, void your warranty, or introduce malware.

In response to your question regarding the cracked screen on your iPad Pro 12.9", please consider the following official assessment: 1. If the display still functions normally (touch response and image quality are unaffected, with only the outer glass cracked), the device still requires a full display assembly replacement. The glass cannot be separated from the LCD due to the laminated construction. 2. If the display shows black spots, discoloration, flickering, or if the touchscreen is unresponsive, this indicates damage to the underlying LCD panel as well. In such cases, a full display replacement is unequivocally required, and there is no alternative repair option. In either scenario, the recommended course of action is the same: a complete screen replacement carried out by an authorized technician. Please note that any unauthorized third-party glass-only repair will void any remaining warranty and may compromise the structural integrity of the device.

"Dear User, We have received your report regarding the iPhone 3G (jailbroken) that remains unresponsive, displaying only the Apple logo after a reboot. We sincerely appreciate your concern regarding the preservation of your contacts and photographs. Please be advised that the boot loop you are experiencing is a known issue following jailbreak attempts on iOS 4.2.1. The recommended course of action, which carries minimal risk to your data, is as follows:

1. Place the device into DFU mode by connecting it to a computer, pressing Power + Home for 10 seconds, then releasing Power while holding Home for another 10 seconds.
2. Launch redsn0w and navigate to Extras ? Recovery Fix. This function is specifically intended to force the device out of the recovery/boot loop state without erasing the user data partition.
3. If the device successfully boots, please create an immediate backup via iTunes or iCloud to secure your data.

Should the Recovery Fix fail, we must inform you that the only guaranteed method to restore functionality is a full restore through iTunes, which will unfortunately result in complete data loss. We therefore advise that, prior to any restore, you attempt data extraction using reputable third-party forensic recovery tools that support DFU mode. Please also verify that the device has sufficient battery charge, as the low-battery indicator you observed may have caused the boot process to terminate prematurely."

There should be many resaons behind this cause, because we don't know the history of the device. For example, it may have been water damaged in the past, or suffered various falls and impacts. It may also have been repaired. So i suggest you to visit the near by authorized Apple Repair Center to get it fixed. If you are able to fix it by the repair kit at your home then it will be also the second best option.

If you've forgotten the passcode on your iPhone 5s and only have one attempt left, it's important to proceed with caution. Entering the wrong passcode on the final try will disable the device, which means you won't be able to access it normally anymore. Unfortunately, for this model, there is no reliable way to unlock the device without erasing its data if the correct passcode cannot be recalled. If you're unsure about the correct passcode, the safest option is to put the device into recovery mode and restore it using a computer. To do this, connect your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes on Windows or older macOS, or Finder on newer macOS versions. Then, press and hold the Home and Power buttons together until the recovery mode screen appears. When prompted, choose the "Restore" option. This process will erase the device, remove the passcode, and reinstall the operating system. If you find you cannot use the iTunes method, you need to ask a professional tool for help like TunesKit iPhone Unlocker. The tool can help you unlock your iPhone 5s with a few clicks.
