IPhone 5c keeps turning on passcode lock without doing anything! We don't want to have to plug it on and wipe it again (all since iOS 7.1 update)
Basically my sister updated her iPhone 5c to iOS 7.1, before this she has a passcode on it,
She then took the passcode off, after the 7.1 update. Yesterday it randomly put a passcode back on so she tried the ones she had used before and the usual 1,2,3,4,, 0000 ect. But nothing worked, so aft being locked out for 2 hours she had to plug it into the computer and wipe it,
So after setting the phone back up with no passcode, this morning it happened again, we have tried the usual numbers again, and tried resetting it (so turning it off and on, and holding the lock and home screens to reset) now there is no point blanking her phone again if it's just going to happen again later, and I have had to surrender my iPhone to her temporarily (which I have never had a passcode on, and hasn't had any issues)!
What can we do, beyond traveling an hour to take it back to apple!
The passcode is coming from the backup file. She must not have removed it as was thought. You will either have to restore the phone as new, or restore to a backup file before the passcode was added. By the way, is this an employer provided phone? If it is, the passcode requirement may be a policy they've implemented.

I have a current (extensive) itunes library established years ago with an ipod classic. My email address, etc. has changed many times since then and I am not able to sync my music from my itunes to my iphone 5c. I'm sure it's due to a different email address/apple ID. How can I get them to sync so as not to have to re-purchase all of my music and podcasts?
The extensive itunes libary that was on an ipod classic likely as not came from an itunes library. The music that is on the itunes library will sync to an iphone once the iphone has been authorized through the itunes store. If it is as you say that all this music came from an 'itunes library' then there should not be an issue syncing this music to an alternate device.
If on the other hand this music came from multiple itunes libraries. It will then be a matter of logging in with each apple id login which was used when purchasing the songs to then re-downloading the songs to that specific apple id login. Once you have purchase music from the itunes store using an apple id login the music then follows the apple id virtually indefinately. -
hi hope somebody can help me before i launch this thing at the wall!!! i have had no problems with my imac before but all of a sudden my mouse has taken on a life of its own.
its zooming in and out side to side all over the place when i'm not even touching it. yet when i want it to zoom in and out now it dosnt even acknowledge my tapping and swiping. (its actually zooming in and out as i'm writing this!!!!!
when i click on anything instead of doing what i want it do do it brings up a sub menu?

My iPhone 4S keeps turning back on if it isn't plugged into a charger?
I bought my iPhone 4S recently. When I try to turn off my iPhone it keeps turning back on. The only times it stays turned off is when I have it plugged into a charger. I have tried holding the sleep/wake button and sliding the shut off tab and also holding the home button & sleep/wake button at the same time while unplugged from the charger; on both occasions it has turned back on without me doing anything. I would just like to know what is happening and also if they're is a solution for it.
Hi, I have the same problem. I tried to call them but they tried to make me pay $99 only to talk to them, so I dicided not to talk to them. Btw, did you get the solution for that? Thanks

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off by itself What can i do
my iPhone 5 keeps turning off by itself What can i do
Check in your settings Eddie4502.Under General there is an item called "Auto-lock" You can set it from 1 to 5 minutes or never. Perhaps its set to 1 minute which isn't enought time to sneeze! I use 5 minutes.

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?
The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you. -
iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.
Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
Follow these steps:
iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue. -
HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock
I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?
There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.

Why does my iPhone 4 keep turning of when the personal hotspot is turned on
My iPhone 4 keeps turning itself off when I connect my laptop into it with the personal hotspot. I have a Sony Vaio and it only turns off when it's plugged into that. My iPhone is iOS 5.0.1. Please help
if you have phone support they can help you. since you are going into the retail store they can help you out to. it sounds like a software issue which shouldn't be too hard for them to fix. if they cant tho they will probably replace it.

Cannot turn off passcode lock on ipad ios 7.0.3
I am unable to turn off passcode lock on an iPad running IOS7.0.3. When I get to the screen in Settings > General > Passcode Lock, "Turn Passcode Off" is greyed out and cannot be used. Hence I am stuck with having to enter a passcode even though I don't want to any longer. The problem is not that I do not know the passcode, simply that I can't turn off the passcode lock. Any thoughts?
is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock. -

My apple iPhone 4s keeps turning off
My iPhone 4S keeps turning off when its not in use. Every time it turns off, it has full battery power and it does not turn on by simply pressing the power button, I always have to press both the power button and the home button for like 4 seconds so that it turns on again. Can somebody help me figure out what the problem might be?
Did you try to restore it? If not, then do it first. If it doesn't work, then I guess it may be a problem with an iPhone itself. Anyway, your problem is strange, I have to say... Especially if it comes to the way you turn an iPhone on again. I still believe it should be a problem with a system, because that's what an iPhone needs to know how to turn on. If it turns on only in that untypical way, then I honestly guess that something is wrong with an iOS you have on your iPhone. Maybe try to reinstal it.
