I forgot my passcode on my new Iphone 6 and haven't backup it yet. Please help.

I got my Iphone 6 last week and went on vacation to take some pictures. However, in the middle of my vacation the IPhone restarted by itself and asking for a passcode. My passcode is not working anymore and pushing my Iphone to be disabled by trying to guess what it is. I tried to restore the Iphone by using my computer but I was not able to back it up because it's asking for a passcode also I tried to sync it and its does the same thing and asking for a passcode. I don't want to completely restore it without saving my pictures. Is it possible to reset my passcode by going to any apple service center? We do have all the necessary documents to prove the I am the owner of it. I just don't want to take the risk to restore it without backing it up. Please help.

The purpose of the passcode is to protect the data in the iPhone (including photos) from people who do not know the passcode.  The only way to eliminate the passcode is to restore the phone as new which eliminates the data from the iPhone.  You can do that yourself or take it to an Apple Store and they will restore it for you.  If you had made a backup you could then restore the data back to the iPhone (including the photos) but if you did not make a backup, then you will be unable to access the data.
You have not said whether or not you had the Photo stream feature enabled in your iCloud settings.  If you did, your photos will be streamed back to your iPhone when you enable the feature after restoring the iPhone.   Or perhaps you had enabled iCloud backups to made automatically every time you are on Wifi and plugged in.   If yes, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup.   If not, you are out of luck.
For the future, it is a good idea to enable iCloud automatic backups.  You don't have to remember to make them and they will be there for you should you forget your passcode again.

  • My iphone 5 is no longer charging with new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help.

    My iphone 5 is no longer charging with a new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help. It just started happening this week and I have tried everything. Is this a software / driver problem?  We all know the battery doesn't last a full day if you "use" your phone like a normal person. I am very frustrated! My daughters iphone 5 started doing this a few days later than mine as well.

    Not much help I'm afraid but I use my iPhone 5 like a 'normal' person and it's battery almost all day. Perhaps there's a hardware fault somewhere? Have you tried the usual reset and restore?

  • My new iPhone 5 is not connecting to wifi. Please help me.

    My new iPhone 5 is not connecting to wifi. I have even updated it to iOS 6.0.2. This is terribly upsetting me. Please help me.

    I Found a solution on another discussion thread, do a hard reset by holding the on/off switch at the same time as the centre button. An apple logo comes up. My iphone 5 had been connecting to my home wifi for months and then for the last 2 months kept telling me the password was incorrect. This fixed it and it connected straight away.

  • New iPhone upgrade and messed up backups

    I upgraded four iPhones recently, and I backed up all of the phones to my computer, then did a restore from previous backup. All went well until today, when I wanted to back up my iPhone, when I noticed that it was backing up every new phone that I bought. I checked the summary and it showed all apps from all the other phones being backed up, which was strange, but, I then deleted all of the previous backups from iTunes, then backed up the old phones again and then tried to do a restore from previous backup, and it was still restoring all apps from all phones. If anyone has any idea of what happened or how to correct it so that each individual phone backs up and restores only what is on that phone. Thanks in advance.

    Try ti reinstall the iOS software so it is AS a ny iPhone and the install the back-up to the iphone. And rember that you Can mack the back-up to icoud. on the iPhone and that Way when you signet in to yous Apple acount on yous iPhone Can get the back-up

    This is a user to user help forum only so no one here can answer regarding what AppleCare or an Apple Store will do in this situation. Every warranty claim is on a case by case basis. If a fellow user tells you - sure Apple will exchange your iPhone and Apple doesn't exchange it due to the accidental damage, what you are told here carries no weight in this regard.

  • New to podcasting and I'm stuck... please help

    I used the application Feeder (from reinventedsoftware.com) to create my XML file and publish it to my server. I successfully submitted the podcast to the iTunes Music store, but when I try to subscribe to my feed, I receive the following error message: Does not seem to be a valid Podcast URL.
    I tried validating my feed at feedvalidator.org and it did not validate, but I simply do not understand the two error messages it listed. I wasn't able to troubleshoot the problem with the podcasting technical spec either.
    Here is the link to the feed:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=120926616&s=143 441
    17" PB Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    1. Do I simply add a new <item> section to my
    existing XML feed? (As opposed to replacing the one
    already there.)
    Yes - you add in a new Item section for each new show.
    2. If so, do I add that new section above or below
    the initial <item> section?
    It is best to add it above the most recent one. The one exception. If you have a promo - make it the first physical item in your feed. This way when someone does a search in iTunes - if they click on you podcast in the list of podcasts - it will play your promo first.
    3. I'm archiving sermons, so at the end of the year,
    will my XML feed basically have 52 <item> sections in
    it?
    Yes, correct.

    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

  • I forgot my passcode to download new releases, what can I do to reset it?

    I forgot my passcode to download new releases, what can I do to reset it?

    If you mean the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode on your phone then was it on the phone when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the phone when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the phone back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the phone - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
    Or do you mean something else ?

  • I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity).  I was able to with my 4s but not with my new 5s.

    I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity) network.  I was able to with my 4s with no problems but with my new 5s, I just get that a message that says "Unable to connect to network [network name]"  Thoughts on how to connect to the wifi network?  My laptop is connected and using the wifi just fine.

    I see the following instruction:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    However when I get there I am offered a screen which states "Enter Passcode", and have no clue as to what this should be given I never had to set this in the first place.
    It expects 4 digit code, so any ideas?
