how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.

Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button.

You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next try:
Try:

Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

Tammy,
Unfortunately your iPhone is just a paper weight. Return it to the pawn shop for a refund.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7 explains the "Buyer Beware" facts:
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in toicloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

How do I reset an IPad 2 to factory settings without access to itunes account?

I bought a used IPad 2 from a rent to own store. When the Ipad was returned to store, the customer service rep did not check to see if Ipad was functioning properly and that customer info had been deleted off Ipad to protect that persons info that may be on it. We found out after I purchased, that it wasn't done. After checking their records, they had a hard time getting in contact with customer for either payment or returning item. After 6 months of no contact, he returned ipad. The customer left the passcode on it. From what I can tell, their info/apps/programs are still on it. The store has made numerous attempts to contact customer to get passcode so it can be reset to factory. But no luck. Part of the reason I haven't returned to store is I bought the Ipad while living in Canada. I am now in US. I would like to use it. Returning it is an option. and getting a full refund. Just a little more hassle to deal with.
Is there a way to reset Ipad to Factory settings without passcode on lock screen, or without itunes that it may or may not have been synced to? I do NOT want to have access to any information that the previous owner had on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it. Your best bet is to return the iPad, get a refund and purchase a new iPad from a reputable source.

How do I delete songs on iPhone 4S running iOS7 without iTunes 11.1

I am hoping Mac represtentatives will read this. Please do not think that I am communicating in such a tone to any community member. I am grateful for all the help this community brings and would never speak harshly to you.
I am no longer able to sync my iPhone 4S to my iMac - a purchase I made in college that I have loved and with which I have had no problems. The reason I cannot sync is because I cannot upgrade to iTunes 11.1. Since I am running iOS7 on my iPhone 4S, I am no longer able to swap out music on my iPhone.
I had a similar problem when switching to iOS6 when my OS was 10.5. I purchased the upgrade and was able to update iTunes. Now it seems I cannot. I was told I would need to purchase RAM in the future in order to move up to a new OS. I am in no need to go up to a new OS as my current one works perfectly for all I need.
I'm really hoping the answer is not "Buy more RAM so you can upgrade OS again." I should not have to keep purchasing new Apple products so that I can listen to the music I have already purchased in iTunes on my iPhone (which is the only reason I purchase music from iTunes). There needs to be an alternative way, without requiring me to purchase anything, to swap out the songs I have purchased. I have paid for my music. I have paid for my computer. I have paid for my phone. I want them to f**king work. If I need to return my device to iOS6, I don't mind it. iOS7 is crappy and a major let down. But I need help reverting my device back to iOS6 AGAIN because my phone and computer will no longer sync.
Mac used to mean beauty of simplicity to me. Now I'm ready to start chunking these products out of the window. I will not conisder getting any new Apple Phone or product so long as this rouse to make me purchase more and more "extra" continues.
Been here too long, and purchased too many products, to be this disgruntled. HELP.

Hi, i got some new bluetooth headphones which are really good but one time i accidentally pressed "forget this device", and now my ipod cant find the headphones. I did some reading online and i tried to "reset all settings" but i needed my restrictions passcode, which i have forgotten ( well actually i dont remember making one, because i know i would forget it ). Can anyone help me because at the moment i cant use my new headphones ?

You will not like the answer
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
