Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/20025416 - "A restore erases the iPod. If you restore from backup the iPod will be like it was IF the iTunes library includeds [sic] all the synced media like apps and music since those are not included in the backup.")
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If none of the above work, try:
DFU mode: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/04/ipad-dfu-mode/

iPhone 4s. IOS 7.1.1 Windows 7. Using same lead and usb socket as always. From yesterday my phone won't appear on computer. Will charge via usb lead. Dont have iTunes on this computer and never had. Am now being asked if I trust this computer. This is new. Also takes longer than usual to signal it is charging. Get usual sound notification but nothing appear in computer. I long ago disables automatic notification that phone was connected. Prefer to bring it up manually.
Within Contacts, tap Groups at top left. Make sure all contact groups are checked to show, then tap "Done" at top right.
Within the Calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom center of the screen. Tap on Show All Calendars. -
i habe the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesnt work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?
If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f). -
I have lost my I phone 4 i dont have any details except the IMEI number so what should i DO
I have lost my I phone 4 and i dont have any details except IMEI number i need your support to locate my number and get my data backup atleast please let me know
if you didn't install find my phone you cant locate or whipe or otherwise manipulate your phone
if you didn't backup for data to itunes or icloud you cant get your data
depending on where you live you can repport the IMEI to the police and they will have every phone company block the phone from ever being used as a phone again -
can some one please help me change the font size for incoming emails? some emails are fine others are very small and I cannot change them to read or print?
Welcome Margaret!
How are you reading e-mail? in a browser (like Safari) or with a separate mail program like Apple Mail or MS Entourage?
Entourage and Mail have 'larger/smaller" text commands. In either, typing command + or command - will zoom or shrink the text.
The same commands work in the Safari browser.
Much of this comes from people with small-screen devices sending to people with really large screens. I have a friend who asks all his contacts to use a larger font than default when they e-mail him. He has a really cantankerous Windows box that will not let him increase font size in received messages.
If you have a 27-inch iMac the huge amount of screen real estate may make a lot of text hard to read. That's what I have, and I set the desktop resolution to a smaller number to get larger text. My 27-incher defaults to 2560x1440 and everything is small to my old eyes. I changed it to 1920x1080 and lost none of the sharpness but gained a lot in font size.
If you want to try this, go to System Preferences > Displays and make sure the "Displays", not "Color" tab is active. Click the round button next to "Scaled" and you'll be offered a selection of desktop resolutions.
Please let me know if I confused the issue!

i factory unlock my iphone 3gs and was on ios 6.1.2 and updatednit to 6.1.3 with itunes and the phone got lock again at activation screen. i try downgrading to 4.1 with baseband 5.13.04 and want to upgrade back to 6.1.2. pls help me
Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my phone
My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my pihone?
Thank you Roger Wilmut. I am grateful for your response.
I bought the iPhone new and set up by myself. I still remember apple id details. The problem is that while the update was on, I needed to enter my apple id on the phone to complete the update my screen lock has been activated. Now the phone only displays the iTunes logo and the USB cable being inserted. But I can still access my the phone contents through my laptop. I need to force the phone to restart. How can I do that? mind you I have pressed the home and power buttons together for a couple of minutes. It will only display the apple logo for a few seconds and then return to the iTunes and USB cable display. Maybe the phone is hanging. So please help me.
Thank you very much -

Hi, vernon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you may have enabled the Zoom feature. Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.
iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large
