HT4539 I have switched off in app purchases but can't remember my unlock code to change it

I must have set a passcode on my iPad when I first got it but can't remember it & have tried numerous ones & I'm afraid it's going to block me if I try again, does anybody know how I can retrieve it?

You cannot retrieve it.
You will need to restore as new.

  • I have a Creative Cloud Photography membership but can't find a redemption code or access Lightroom or Photoshop.

    I purchased a Creative Cloud Photography membership but can't find a redemption code nor can I access Lightroom or Photoshop. I keep getting a message "Your Lightroom trial has expired. What steps do I need to take to get up and running?

    If you are using windows OS, look for file named hosts at below location:
    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    Check if there is anything that is blocking the Adobe CC app to verify your subscription.
    Make back up copy of hosts file and delete everything except below contents:
    # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
    # For example:
    #      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
    #       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
    # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
    # 127.0.0.1       localhost
    # ::1             localhost
    I hope that should resolve the issue.

  • I shut off in app purchases but when I try to get one it still comes on and I don't want it to

    I shut off the in app purchases because my grand children uses my ipod sometimes and I don't want them to download an in app purchase.  I just upgrade my ipod and when I try to get an in app purchase it lets me.  How can I keep it from letting me.

    Have you checked to ensure that that restriction is still set? Settings>General>Resrictions

  • I have made an in-app purchase, but did not receive the item.

    I purchased some pro-cash for Tiger Woods golf on the iPad, through an in-app purchase. However, I did not receive the relevant credits, but was charged in full and received my iTunes Store invoice to confirm this.
    I have followed the instructions provided in the support guide on how to 'Report a problem' but the links don't function the way the guide says they shoudl and there are no contact details for the vendro (EA Games). How do I go about escalating this properly?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gordon

    To petition for refunds, you need to go to expresslane.apple.com > itunes > itunes store > billing and accounts
    I would suggest that you contact the developer of the app to see what exactly you purchased, because itunes store support can get you the refund, but they can't tell you exactly what you purchased. They just handle the money, they don't necessarily dictate what the app's devloper sells

  • Restoring phone, need to switch off Find My iphone, but can't access phone

    Whilst updating IOS7 my phone crashed.  I reset it and successfully managed to restore to backup.  Everything was working fine until it asked for a passcode.  I entered the last passcode I was using but it won't accept it.  I've tried to restore again however iTunes is telling me that Find my iPhone needs to be switched off before it will do the restore, and this is done via the settings on the phone - which I can't access because I don't know the passcode.

    The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with this. Deleting the Find My iPhone app which is used to find another iOS device or Mac computer you own or for someone else to find their iPhone or iOS device with your iPhone does not turn off Find My iPhone with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • Unable to make in-app purchases but can purchase books and music.

    Cannot make in-app purchases in any games but can make music and book purchases.

    We don't work for Apple, and are just iTunes users like yourself.. The best thing I can advise, is to contact apple directly.

    Connect to iTunes & hit the restore button on the Summary Pane. This will restore as a new device. Eject when finished.

  • ITunes said they have refunded my in app purchases, but where do I find that refunded money?

    I got charged for some 10.00$ gem packages in the app "Clash of Clans" and have since been notified that they were refunded. I got charged with my bank card. Where do I find that refunded cash? Or if it goes back to the bank, when does it arrive?

    It can take a number of days before the refunds will show on your card - if they aren't there by the end of the week then try contacting iTunes Support again.

  • My MacBook Pro hard drive died and under warranty a new one installed (hence lost everything).  I have updates outstanding in App Store but can't update due to Apple Id under a foreign name I have tried every possible angle. Stuck!

    Hi,
    I think I know the answer but just to be sure.
    To update outstanding Apps in the App Store do I really need to have the person who purchased or downloaded them to sign in?
    How can I remove his Apple ID altogether as this person holds no connection to me at all.
    His Apple ID has come with my newly installed hard drive (works carried out under warranty), so I'm
    assuming it is 2nd hand.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Meg's

    You will need to erase the HDD and start over by reinstalling the OS and setting the Mac up as a new one with your own Apple ID.
    Linc gives you a few options how;

  • I have lost all my previous purchases and can't remember earlier account id

    I recently bought a moved and changed my email address.   When attempting to load old iTune purchases onto a new computer, I deleted.   I cannot remember my old email address to capture all my previous purchases.   Any idea how to get old Apple ID?   We are talking a lot of music not to mention $$.

    If you're able to find even one of the songs, you can get info on the song (Select the song, and go to File-->Get info in iTunes) and it will tell you the email address it's associated with.
    You may be able to recover the songs from your iPod.  A software that may help with that is Senuti.  You can google search for it and use that to help you out.
    You might also want to check your trash can to make sure they aren't still there.
    Lastly, if you still have access to your PC you can try to get a song or songs from there.
    Finally, make sure you're doing regular backups so this kind of thing doesn't happen. All it takes is a external mac hard drive, turning on Time Machine, and choosing that drive to back up to.

  • After I upgraded to ios6 , my iPad gmail was something wrong because it always hang and switch off the App automatically . It is very irritating . Please let me know how to solve this problem because I have to read my email everyday . Thanks .

    After I upgraded to ios6 , my iPad gmail was something wrong because it always hang and switch off the App automatically . It is very irritating . Please let me know how to solve this problem because I have to read my email everyday . Thanks .

    Double tap Home button, delete Mail from multitask-bar.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.

  • Hello I have upgraded my iPad again. It seems that something gets upset each time. This time my mailbox has become unstable. It does not receive or send mail. I know my wifi is fine because my laptop is fine. I have switched off the iPad again and again.

    Not sure you got my earlier message so I am posing my question again.
    Having upgraded my iPad to the more recent OSsomething, my mailbox no longer receives or sends emails.
    My wifi is fine, checked with my laptop which works fine. I have switched off the iPad many times but the problem remains. Can anyone help?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    That's not the same as turning it off or on.
    Another things to try is to reset your settings. Use the Settings app for this.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    You will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
    If the problem persists after the reset check your email accounts on the iPad. You could delete them and add them back. This is also done in the Settings app.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar

  • How do you turn off in app purchases

    My son was playing the free app download Restaurant Story and made a lot of in app purchases. I don't know how he made the purchases or how you can legally  charge somebody for playing a game that is marked FREE. Does anybody know how to turn off "in app" purchases?

    Assuming this is an iOS device (iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, etc):
    Find and click on the Settings icon
    Select General from the list on the left.
    Scroll down on the right until you see Restrictions. Click on it.
    At the top, click where it says 'Enable Restrictions'.
    It should come up with a box that says 'Set Passcode'. Enter a 4-digit number (you can use the letters to remember it). Keep it as unguessable as possible, but something you can remember. You'll have to enter it twice to confirm.
    Scroll Down to the 'Allowed Content' section. Turn OFF the slider next to In-App Purchases. It should not show 'OFF'. That will take care of the In-App Purchases problem.
    I highly recommend looking at the other restrictions in the same section - you can restrict Safari, for example, if you want to restrict you kid's web surfing, and set age-level restrictions on music, videos, movies, apps etc. You can also turn off multi-player games and the function for Adding Friends.

  • I just bought mountain lion off the app store,but now I think I already have it. Is this possible? Would I be able to buy it if I already own it?

    The App Store will permit you to purchase Mountain Lion regardless of whether your MacBook Pro already had it installed when it shipped from Apple.
    If you bought Mountain Lion from the App Store, you will be able to install it on as many additional Macs as you may have. If you only have the one Mac and have no plans to acquire any others that did not ship with Mountain Lion, then there was no need to purchase another copy.

  • I have had my in app purchases stopped and I don't know why

    If your Dock icon for iPhoto is not working, go to Applications and try opening iPhoto from there.
    Then once the new iPhoto icon appears on the Dock, control click on it, select keep on Dock and drag the other old icon off the dock.
