How to Fix iPhone 11 Pro Max ‘Disabled Connect to iTunes’ Error

Share This:

Are you looking for a phone that can do it all? The iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 11 Pro are the perfect options. With powerful processors, brilliant OLED displays, and long-lasting batteries, these phones offer the best of Apple’s technology in one package. Unfortunately, if your iPhone 11 Pro Max or iPhone 11 Pro is disabled due to too many incorrect passcode attempts, you may be wondering how to get it working again.

The first thing to do when your iPhone 11 Pro Max or iPhone 11 Pro is disabled is to connect it to a Mac or PC with iTunes installed. Open iTunes on your computer and make sure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID as your device. When you connect your device, iTunes will automatically detect that it’s been disabled and will prompt you to restore it from a backup.

Before restoring from a backup, you should try putting your device into recovery mode manually. To do this on an iPhone 11 Pro Max or iPhone 11 Pro with Face ID:

– Press and quickly release the Volume Up button
– Press and quickly release the Volume Down button
– Press and hold the Power (Side) button until “Connect to iTunes” appears on the display
– Connect your device to your computer using a Lightning cable

Once in recovery mode, iTunes will prompt you to restore from a backup if available or set up as new if not. If restoring from a backup is an option for you, we recommend doing so since it will allow you to keep all of your data intact while still resetting any passcodes that were previously set up.

If restoring from a backup isn’t an option or if you don’t want to lose any data on your device, then another way of fixing a disabled iPhone is by using iCloud Find My feature. You can use this feature on any of Apple’s devices running iOS 13 or later by signing into iCloud with the same Apple ID as used on the locked device and selecting “Erase This Device” under Find My settings. This will erase all data on the phone but will also remove any lock screen passcodes that were previously set up allowing access back into the device without having to restore from an old backup.

Whether you use iTunes or iCloud Find My feature to fix a disabled iPhone 11 Pro Max or iPhone 11 Pro, remember that either method requires access to either a computer with iTunes installed or an internet connection for using iCloud Find My feature respectively so make sure those are available before attempting either solution.
