Activated screen lock 'whoops' is there a default code?

I blame it on being tired from work, wasn't thinking..
but yeah, can anyone help? i've activated the screen lock on my ipod and don't know the combination, please tell me there's a dafault combination. Or an Aus number i can call?

Hello Shnookumz,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you ever set a passcode for it at one time or another? If you haven't, there is no way you could have set it without accidentally punching in numbers. Try 0000 just in case, although it more than likely will not work.
One solution is to connect the iPod to the computer you normally sync it with. And upon properly disconnecting it again, the iPod should unlocked.
Otherwise, if that does not work, your only solution is to restore the iPod via iTunes.
For more help and information on the iPod Screenlock, see this Apple support document. [iPod: How to use the Screen Lock |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1350]

Screen lock activating immediately instead of waiting for inactivity

I have activated Screen Lock so that it requires a password when waking from sleep after 1 hour of inactivity. The problem is that it requires the password immediately no matter how long the computer has been inactive. Screen lock seems to not be waiting the proper time before activating. There must be some sort of bug because anytime the screen lock activates sooner than the selected 1 hour, all i have to do is hit the cancel (X) button at the bottom of the lock screen and my display will go back to sleep and then moving the cursor will wake the computer without requiring password...So Weird!

Screen Lock is not related to inactivity. It is realted to Sleep or Screen Saver starting. So if the Mac is put to sleep, or the Screen Saver is activated, then you will need to enter your password to unlock the screen.
In System Preferences -> Security -> General you can specify a delay after Screen Saver or Sleep is started before the password is required, in case the screen saver starts and you quickly move the mouse to kill it. I use 5 seconds. But this is not idle related, just start of sleep or start of screen saver.
System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver allows you to specify when to start after the system has been idle/inactive.
It is possible you have used mixed terms which are confusing me, so if you could clarify, that would be helpful.

Screen lock gone mad

New nano Red. Daughter set screen lock code, worked fine, but was prior to first sync.
Connected to Mac, and nano did a reset upon connection. Sync'd music, all worked fine.
Then, daughter activated screen lock. Code that was set no longer works.
Questions: What happens if you activate the lock without setting a code? (Is that even possible). Is there a factory default code (i.e. "0000" or something?
Thanks.

Have you tried to power off and on? If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

Any application for screen lock?

I understand there are 2 ways to lock the iphone screen:-
1. By pressing the button on the top right once
2. By waiting for a minute (minimum) after which the phone locks automatically.
Just wanted to know if there is an app that does that. I don't want to wait an entire minute for my screen to lock. I also don't want to keep pushing the hardware button every time. Is there any app icon that I just touch and the screen locks?

No, there is no app for that (nor is one likely, since 3rd party apps cannot access that functionality).

STUCK ON SCREEN LOCK!

my ipod is stuck on screen lock and i have forgotten number code!any way around this?

If you use the iPod with more than one computer connect it to the main computer you use it with ( this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

Lost music on itunes;; screen lock

hi all,
i recently had my computer re-imaged, which means that all programs and settings were removed. This caused itunes to be removed. when this happened, i realized that i forgot to disauthorize my account. When i got my computer back and reinstalled itunes, all of my music was gone. I have not synced my ipod, so all of the music from before the re-imaging is still on my ipod. is there any way to get the music from my ipod to itunes? about 200 songs on my ipod are from CD's, so you may be able to see why i do not want to re-upload them to itunes again.
ALSO: i accidently put my ipod on screen lock, and i have forgotten the code to unlock it. i realize that to unlock it, i have to connect it to my computer, but i do not want my ipod to sync when i connect it. is there any way to connect my ipod to my computer to unlock it without syncing my ipod? if my ipod gets synced i will lose all my songs and data- see explination above.
thanks for your time,
megan

is there any way to get the music from my ipod to itunes?
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
is there any way to connect my ipod to my computer to unlock it without syncing my ipod?
Connect the iPod to the computer you normally use it with (the first one that the iPod synced with) and open iTunes. Then disconnect the iPod from the computer and it should no longer be locked.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to restore it.

My iPod Classic is suddenly asking me to "Enter Code to Unlock". Is there a default?

I have been letting my 8 year old son use my old iPod. It's the the old classic video iPod, 30GB, software version is 1.3 and says it's up to date. Serial number is 4V544C1WTXK (I don't know if that matters or not). He has been listening to music and playing games on it for months now without a problem. And it has never asked for a code to unlock it. I have never set one. He may have by accident but does not know a code either.
Is there a default code to unlock it? If not is there a way to reset the code? I can't use the iPod at all now. I just replaced the battery in it so I really need to get it working.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Okay so I just did a factory restore. It seems to be working fine now although I lost everything stored on it.

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.

HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access". I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze. I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail. Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times. When I did that, "guided access" launched. It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in. I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active.
Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

Nope . I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode . That would have been a red flag for me . We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally .
Thanks for responding Diavonex .

What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

There isn't one. You'll need to connect the Nano to your iTunes library and restore to factory settings. There is no other way.

Why doesn't my phone ring when I've got screen lock activated?

This has been driving me crazy and I need to know how to fix it.
I like to have the screen lock activated on my phone (otherwise it will be in my purse calling people without me even touching it) but when I get an incoming call my phone doesn't ring, it will only vibrate so I'm missing alot of calls because I'm not always near my phone to hear it vibrate.
Also, there's nothing to alert me (a sound played every few minutes) when I missed a call or text & its causing problems for me.

cem421,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the phone ringing but we certainly want to make sure that is addressed. When your phone is not in screen lock does it ring as normal? You may want to check your sound settings to see if you have it set to vibrate in silent. Also if that mode is set you want to make sure the switch above your volume buttons is set up, otherwise the phone will not ring while in screen lock mode. Keep us updated and I am sure we will get this figured out.
Thank you,

The phone is useless unless you can contact the previous owner. There is nothing anyone can do to help. If you are able to contact, the following contains instructions on what they need to do: iCloud: Activation Lock

Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
The Problem:
I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
What happened:
I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
What I’d like to do:
It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me). But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it. Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
Thanks!

I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!
