My iPhoneis disabled and says to connect to iTunes.  How can I get the phone unlocked?

My daughter tried to change her code to unlock her phone and the phone locked up and says that her phone is diabled and to connect to iTunes.  Is there any thing to do to unlock fix this problem?

You will need to connect the phone to iTunes, like the message said.
The code was tried too many times, and it was locked out for security. This is to prevent stolen phones from being accessed.
If you cannot get the phone to work after you have synced in iTunes, then I would try restoring the phone as a last resort.
Hope this helps.

    Use recovery mode, you might need to do it a few times.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
    Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,
    André

  • HT5661 i bought a second hand phone and now can not hold of the seller,  how can i get the phone activated in my name now?

    Hi all,  I have bought a second hand iphone 5s and have found it is still activated to the last user... i can't get hold of them anymore,  how can i get the phone activated in my name?

    If iOs 7 is installed on that iPhone, you will not be able to activate it without
    the requested information. It is called Activation Lock and is a security
    feature built into iOS 7. There is no workaround.

    Unless you are in the US then films can't currently be re-downloaded from the store (and not all films can be in the US). If you are in the US then you could see if it's in the Purchased link on the left-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Trial download for photoshop crashed and won't let me download. how can i get the free trial?

    trial download for photoshop crashed and won't let me download. how can i get the free trial?

    What means "crashed", and "won't let me"?
    Anyway, download it from http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html
    Usually I would recommend to download the direct downloads from http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl, but it seems the site is currently down.

  • Took the battery out and put it back in, now I can't get the phone on!

    We were told that it was good for the phone if the battery were removed and put back in so it can reboot. I did that and I can't get the phone back on! Sometimes (not everytime) I'll get the red light to come on, but still nothing. I tried inseerting another bb battery from a Curve and when the red light came on, I held the 'end call' button and then when it went off I held the green 'make call' button and teh screen displayed a battery with a line through it. That same battery works fine in the curve so I am just confused about what else I should be trying.
    Can anyone help me out here??? 

    did you try to insert the pearl-battery and connect it to the wallcharger? maybe the battery is completly empty.
    does the screen display something?

  • Can anybody please help me. I was trying to update ISO 5 and adter fewhours waiting my iphone 3gs when back to its original fetaure. I cant open my phone at all only using connect to itunes how can I reopen my phone? pls help

    i was trying to connect the phone, but it kept saying there was no sim card available. i tried 3 different networks but the phone kept sayinh no service. how can i reopen my phone? i cant open it at all. only the starting menus like update the location the language and the networks..

    Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
    You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
    Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

  • I hit Reset and lost everything.  I have the apple and a line under it.  How can I get the Home Page back?

    How can I get back to the Home Page?  I hit reset and lost everything.  I have a dark screen with the white apple and a line under it. 

    Wait until it finishes restoring. It would be a good idea to connect it to the charger so it won't run out of power during this process.

  • I am rying to un-disable my disabled 4th generation iPodTouch. It says that I need to enter the password on my iPod but my iPod is disabled and says to connect to iTunes. Any help? It won't even show up in the left sidebar. Help?? :/

    I am trying to re-able my disabled iPod. It is a 4th Generation iPod touch 8gb. It has a crack screen and the lock/sleep button and the volume buttons do not work. It says in red ribbon on the top of the screen, "iPod is disabled Connect to iTunes". When I connect it to iTunes it doesn't show up in the left sidebar. Instead a message pops up and says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPod 'Madyz iPod' because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter you passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." What do I do? I would really appreciate help.(: thanks.

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.
