My daughter set the lock code for my second or first generation ipod and i dont know what numbers she pressed. The ipod was loaded on a pc in Texas, and i'm currently in Georgia. I have a laptop, but I dont want to wipe out all my music. HELP!!!

My daughter has interrupted business as usual because she decided to change the passcode on my ipod. This is a first or second generation nano maybe, and it was loaded on a pc in Texas. I dont want to lose the songs that my mom loaded for me because they're irretreivable. Could someone tell me the process to unlock my ipod from my laptop, but reserve my exsisting music?

Try connecting the iPod to the computer your normally sync it with. Then properly eject it. Upon doing so, you may discover that your iPod is unlocked. If it is, make sure to disable the Screen Lock or change the code to something you can remember.
Otherwise, if that doesn't work, your only option at that point is to restore the iPod via iTunes. And yes this will involve wiping all content and settings from the iPod. Afraid there is no other way.

My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. How I can disable it?

Hello, In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. All is locked. How I can disable it?

Do you mean the check box isn't enabled?
Or you remove the check but it doesn't "stick"?
Or you remove the box but documents are stil getting locked?
That setting doesn't apply to other things in System Preferences, just apps that support AutoSave and Versions. If you're having a problem with System Prefs, please clarify exactly what.

When I boot up the iphone 5s after it being off it will load then as soon as it gets to the lock screen it goes to sleep right away it will show me the lock screen for a second if that

When I turn on the iphone 5s after it being off it will load then show me the lock screen for a second if that and then go right to sleep mode right away as soon as the lock screen comes on

Hi Apple user 789,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following article will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

Help...forgot the lock code for N95 8GB?

I was trying to use my device after a gap of an year.
However, swithcing on the phone, it asks for lock code. I have never changed it before. I tried factory default code 12345. Tried couple of others like 1234, 0000 etc. None seem to work.
I also tried switching on the phone after pressing Call, * and '3' and still it is asking for lock code.
I tried connecting to Nokia PC suite and it doesn't recognise the phone at all, so can't update the software and see if it resets the lock code.
Can anybody give me any further suggestion please?
Thanks

Help me out in delaying the ENTIRE CODE for few seconds?

I am using Flash and writing the code in AS3. I am using two "for" loops one inside the other and running a few statements. I want to delay the each statement for few seconds in the for loop? How can i do it? i even tried with the "Timer" Events and "setTimeout" but the for loop is executing without pausing the code.. Please help me out in solving this problem.. Anyone who solved this type of problem please do help me.

you can't control the speed of a for-loop.
you can remove your code from a for-loop and use a function to execute the code in your for-loop and you control how frequently you call the function.

TS2391 Took my Mac in for repairs they reset my com I lock it and do not know what they use as the passcode

I took my Mac in to have keyboard replace and the upper and bottom case replace as well. They reset my com and the fool that i'am lock the com. And have no way know what the pass code they use.?

Not sure what "com" is. If they reset the user password, frequently it's empty. Leave the field empty and hit enter. If that doesn't work I'd call and ask what they set it to.

I dont know what wrong with my Apple ID , when i tried to updated my apps and the always asking for payment?

i try to updated my apps and download free apps but my Apple id keep asking for payment, the exacly massage is " before you can make purchases you must tap OK , then verify your payment. before i used to have NONE but after i buy some Apps i put my debite card number. after that i want to change to be none again but None is not show... now i cannot update anything or even download free apps

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

On my iPod touch screen, it keeps showing a picture of the end of a USB and an arrow pointing from the USB to a picture of a CD with a music note that says iTunes. Please help! i dont know what to do, because my iPod is not functioning.

Connect the iPod to your computer and then restore via iTunes on the computer. If iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

How to cancel the lock code N73

I Want cancel the lock code my phone is N73
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is no way to bypass the security code. Think about it - if there was, it would be widely published on the Internet and the whole concept of the security code would be utterly useless.
If you've forgotten your security code then you have two options.
1) Update the phone's firmware if at all possible. Doing this will wipe the phone clean and it should also reset the security code to its default 12345.
or,
2) Take the phone to your nearest Nokia Care Point with proof that you are its owner. The NCP will reset the security code to its default 12345 for you. This process might wipe the phone clean as well and there may be a charge for it.
There is no other way.

Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
