Unlock Security Code of the device
I have a problem with a Blackberry Torch.
I use a security code for the device, now i have try 8 times the correct code acces, but the phone don't accept this code.
How can i unlock the phone?
Thx!
If you remember the password write it down, make sure you are putting the characters correctly, at the last instance it will wipe all data from your device. You can wait for some time, do a battery pull and check if it starts from 2/10. Chances are you are making a small mistake. If you have all your data backed up you can proceed till eht security wipe. The device password is not recoverable if forgotten as a security measure.

How can I use a SCH-LC11 device in CHINA which bought from ebay. I am not Verizon customer but I prefer to using your 4G LTE Router . How can I get the unlock code? The device may have a bad ESN but I only use it in CHINA. Kindly looking forward your reply. Thanks!
It's good to read Antoniad's post. It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing. However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested. He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do. I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing. Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear. I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad. I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go. The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon. I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers. Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account? I don't know. I have to find out. If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

can someone help please? I am trying to do a factory restore. I have tried the reboot/plug in to laptop and do it through itunes method and i got a failed message saying there was a glitch with the phone. I have never set a 4 digit security code in the settings menu where I could reset the device. I assume that there is a factory set 4 digit password as I have now tried every number that I would have used if I had set it myself. They are usual 0000, 1111 or something similar.
I really need this number to proceed without having to visit an apple store over 100 miles away.
thank youI have never heard of a Factory 4-digit passcode. If you are the original owner of the iPhone you will need to go into DFU Mode...
First: Put the device into DFU mode.
DFU MODE STEPS
Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
Your device should prompt with the "Connect to iTunes Screen"
Second: Plug it into your computer and open iTunes. It will either prompt to restore and up date or you can manually restore using the following steps. IOS Restore Steps Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
Click Restore.
After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
If needed, restore your device from a previous backup. -

‘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.

I am trying to set up a family sharing with a new iMac and other Mac pro computer and other apple products. When I click to manage account and the add a member, I am told to verify the user by entering the security code from the credit card. The card listed is an old one and has since been changed. I updated the info on my apple account, but it is not getting to the iCloud for the family sharing. The number shown is the old card. When I enter a code it says invalid. How long does it take for the info to udate to all systems?
Hi Mofro1,
Happy Holidays! The resource below explains how to edit the credit card information for the Apple ID account that you want to use for Family Sharing. Once you've made the changes, I would suggest you sign out of your iTunes Store on all of your devices, and then restart them. The changes should take place quickly. There is a link to the iTunes Store support below if you need more help.
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT1918
Change your payment information on a Mac or PC
Click to open your account in iTunes. (You might need to sign in with your Apple ID.)
Alternatively, you can:
Open iTunes.
Click iTunes Store.
Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
Click your Apple ID and select Account Info.
From the Account Information page, click Edit to the right of Payment Type.
You can see the payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts in the Payment Type section. If you want to remove the payment method, select None in the Payment Type section. See what to do if None isn't showing or you can't select it.
Change your information and click Done.
After you change your payment information, the iTunes Store places an authorization hold on your credit card.
Family Sharing
If you’re using Family Sharing, and you're the family organizer, you can’t set your payment information to None. You need to use a credit card or debit card. Only the Family Organizer can edit payment information for a family group. If you're not the organizer, you'll see this message: "The payment method for your Family is managed by [Apple ID]."
Get help
If you need help changing your payment information, credit card details, or billing information, contact iTunes Store support. Or you might find the answer to your question below:
If you change your payment method, make sure your account information matches the credit card information on file with your financial institution.
If you use an AOL screen name to sign in to the iTunes Store, editing your information on the Account Information page won't update your AOL account. If you need to update your AOL account information, contact AOL.
If your previous payment wasn't accepted, you might need to change your payment information.

HT4623 how do i remove the security code on the screen
how do i remove the security code on the screen just installed 7 and did not have that before
After installing your iOS on your device you will be asked to "Create a Passcode" you should have the option to skip this, or if you've set one up you can turn it off by going to: Settings>General>Passcode Lock

"iTunes couldn't connect to this iPad. Can't establish a secure connection to the device."
Hello anyone this might concern,
I'm having a problem with my week-old iPad 3 WiFi + 4G (although not 4G in Sweden, but anyway). When I yesterday (19th of June 2012) tried to hook my iPad to my mid 2011 iMac 27" wanting to synchronize it, I got a warning message that I've never seen before and not being known on the interwebs when searching for it.
Translated from Swedish it says: "iTunes couldn't connect to this iPad. Can't establish a secure connection with the device". No error code or anything. Just a window saying this and an OK button. Wierd I thought, tried to search for it and got hits that were similar but not in my opinion the same problem at all. Some people had problems a couple of years ago giving the similar error message, that had to do with the date and time not being the same on the iDevice as the computer hooking it up to. I checked my settings but everything checks out all right.
After a couple of tries of restarting both the iPad and the iMac, reinstalling iTunes etc etc I tried to connect my iPhone 4S. That went just fine, without a hitch. I was able to synchronize it, do whatever. So I took out my MBA 13" late 2010, connected the iPad to it and started iTunes - voilá it worked just fine! But still, the issue remains on the iMac today. I can't for the love of Steve understand what the problem is.
So, anyone out there sitting on an awesome fix?
Thanks,
JacobOK!
So I myself had this issue and have solved the issue. Let me recap:
1: Purchased a 13" Mac Book Pro
2:Already owned an Ipad that was syned with the PC I was previously using
3: When I connected my Ipad to the brand new Mac and opened Itunes was told (paraphrase) "Itunes can not connect to your Ipad...can not find secure connection
4: Called a multitude of Apple customer service folks who were really nice but couldn't help
1) I tried different ports
2) various apple connectors were used (not technical word but you know the cord that you use to connect your iPad to your cable with the usb)
3) and on and on.....and no the date and time thing mentioned on many forums didn't work
4) was able to sync photos through iPhoto with no issues
So what solved it:
1) Back up your iPad to iCloud (make sure it fully completes)
2) Go to General~Reset~Erase All Content and Settings
3) When iPad restores it will eventually get to a promp "restore from iCloud" say yes
4) At this point you are home sweet home...connect to itunes and Walla!
I also discovered how to sync Google calendars (if you have multiple like me) and google contacts to address. Holler at me if you need those too...don't waste your entire day like me. Peace Out!! -
For about three weeks I haven't been able to download any apps, not even the free ones. My apple id billing information says that my security code on the back of my credit card is invalid. I called apple support and they told me to go to the express lane website but I still cant find a fix for my problem. If you could help me out that would be superb!!!!
Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
X61 - SD Card Reader - (Code 10 - the device cannot start)
Hi.
One of our users in RTX Telecom Denmark have a problem with his X61.
Everytime he insert a SD card to the reader it comes with this error message:
Code 10 - the device cannot start.
We have tried all the Windows hotfixes, reinstalling the drivers from:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67971
restarting the machine, but nothing helps.
Do you know anything about this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Message Edited by RTX-IT on 02-13-2009 09:20 AMI have now tried with the preload without any luck. Or that is not completly true, I could put a 1 gB Kingston card in the computer and it would pop up. But it also freezed the computer from time to time.
If I took the card again after a freeze, the computer went back to normal.
But out of 6 SD cards, that was the only one I managed to get working.
I tried all kind of sizes:
64 mb (no luck)
512 mb (no luck)
1 gb (kinda worked - sometimes freeze)
2 gb (no luck)
4 gb (no luck)
8 gb (no luck)
So now I have called Lenovo support and they will come and fix it for me. -
Not able to edit credit card because it asks for security code of the expired one which has been disposed
Try tapping on NONE and then tap on DONE to remove the payment information, then go back in and try to add the new card if you want one on the account.

How to reset the security code on the Ipod?
I locked the access to the volume control by inadvertently setting a security code, in the settings, and now I can not remember the code and i can not adjust the volume when plugging in to the car jack./.
Your only option is to restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes.

I just buy an Ipad2, and I am not able to use my Apple ID to download Apps. Each time, a window open and ask me to fill my billing informations (my Security Code). The problem is every time I put this number and click ''done''...say contact Itunes support

Has this ever happened to you?
iTunes store and my appleid account is not accepting the security code on the Visa Gift Card I purchased today... It keeps telling me the security code is not validThe Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Sometimes the issue isn't really the security code, but the ZIP code or the form of the billing address. -
Hi all,
I've been trying to update my Jailbroken iPhone 4 to ios6 but, unfortunately, I keep getting the "could not establish a secure connection to the device" when connecting it to iTunes. I've tried updating "over the air" but this flags up an error too. Finally, I can't restore to a previous backup because, the backups I previously had, were stored on my old (broken) computer.
CAn anyone help? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rakesh.You jailbroke your phone.
Only google may help now.
You'll find no help here.
If Haiku you don't like,
Then to Google you should hike,
You jailbroke your phone,
Now on these forums you are alone,
'Tis a day of no cheer,
For we cannot help here.
In non-poem; You jailbroke your phone, which is not support by Apple, meaning updates will not work on it as they would if you were running official software.
As per the ToC for the device, and for these Discussion Boards (both you agreed too), you will not get support either from the discussion board, or from Apple directly.
Your best bet is to Google for help and learn a valuable lesson; Jailbreaking can definitely brick your phone. -
hello, my itunes account keeps telling me to enter a valid security code from the back of my CC. i do and it keeps saying to enter a valid one. i tried 3 differnt cards???? pls helppppp
Usually there is some subtle difference other than the security code. E.g. your bank/credit card company says you live on Easy Street but you wrote Easy St. Compare your bank/credit card statement with the information you are trying to give Apple. If they don't match, for any reason, validation will fail with the same error message. No point giving the potential ID thief clues is there?
