It needs the restrictions passcode. You or someone with physical access to the phone had to set it. It can not set itself.

I am not able to update my apps because every time I am doing this, it is asking for a password which I have never used and the person who used it is in no more contact. how can i get my id instead of his??
Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

I recently purchased two songs which refuse to download on my iPhone 4s. Other songs from the same albums downloaded just fine. In an attempt to recover these songs I opened iTunes on my laptop which I have not used since I sold my ipod years ago. The iTunes on my computer is associated with an old Apple ID that was connected to my iPod. How do I get my new Apple ID synced with the iTunes on my laptop?
Hello Leanna,

You will also need to authorize your computer to play purchases with this Apple ID:
Open iTunes
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

With the latest version of iTunes on Windows, the menu bars are hidden, so you may need to enable them to get to the Store menu. You can follow these steps to enable the menu bars:
To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.

After operating system upgrade, my iPhone demands a passcode be entered. I have never used a passcode. How can I restore my iPhone to how it was before?

It's asking you to create a passcode. You can turn it off later if you wish. -
Since the cahnge over from Mobile Me to Icloud I am asked for a Password which I do not know how can I reset this. Amelia
Without or without a password, you CANNOT publish to iCloud.
MobileMe went offline in June last year. You received reminders in the mail.
You have to find another webhost.
Browse this forum, since it has been discussed several times a day every day for the past two years since it was announced.
Or wait for these answers to be delivered.
Anyway, your password is in the keychain.app .
And it is probably the same one you used to login here to post your message. -
I have a balance of $32.86 on my account (from loading a Itune gift card) which I have not used. How can I redeem this if I buy a song. I ask the code which I don't have anymore.
If the card has been redeemed onto your account then you shouldn't need to re-enter it - I've never had to re-enter any of mine, and once a card has been redeemed it effectively becomes zero, it's value should be added to your balance. What is happening when you try to buy the song ?

I plugged my iphone 4 up to itunes and it reset my phone to the factory settings and erasaed all of my emails, texts, apps, and recently added contacts. How can I restore my previous settings and information?
iTunes doesn't just restore a phone to factory settings all by itself. You must have selected the incorrect button.
In any case, if there was a previous backup of your phone, you can restore your phone from this backup. Any new data you added to your phone since this backup is gone.
If you have no backup, then your data is gone. -
i am try to use my itunes which i have not used in a while trying to do all the upgrades. i have an older macbook but i cant download anything. so is apple saying that i will not be able to connect my iphone to macbook ever unless i get a new laptop?
Your MacBook is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, which is the minimum required to install the current version of iTunes and sync devices running iOS 7. It doesn't need to be compatible with Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks.

I don't have the original laptop my iphone was set up on. I have backed up all my data on icloud. If I sync with my new laptop and erase all my contents(restore to factory settings), can I then get it all from icloud?
I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

Help.I uninstalled ios8 using the directions on the web site and now all my apps,mail are gone.I backed up to iTunes first but when I try to sync to get everything back,it starts and then says it has failed.What do I do now.Thanks.Jane
The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone. -

i havnt changed my passcose and using the same passcode which i have been using since ages , its still not working, and i am 100 percent sure i am using the correct passcode ?.,
Either way the result is the same... if you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

i have new music on the itunes but have not a clue how to put it on the iphone, it only seems to want to put the old songs on

Are you manually managing your songs?
In itunes - music do you see checkmarks next to your musis/songs. IF so go find your new songs click on it and then sync your music again. -
