After software update I can't activate via itunes because of passcode

Itunes keeps asking me to enter my passcode into the iphone but the iphone doesn't show the keypad to input the code.
Please help!!

Looks like I have a solution. I was locked out after forgetting my pascode as well. After calling Apple support I have fixed that problem. The Apple support was brilliant!
Here is what I did regarding to article http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n305797
Turn off your disconnected iPhone completely.
Press and hold the home button.
Connect the USB cable when iTunes is started and keep the home button pressed.
When you see the the picture on the screen that shows the iTunes connect symbol release the home button.
Say OK in the iTunes dialog to restore your iPhone.
Activate the SIMcard with your SIMcode when you are prompted on the iPhone screen.
And now the most important! Do not restore your iPhone. The restore will again apply your forgotten passcode to the device.
Redo all the settings like language, timezone and so on your phone.
Connect again to iTunes and connect your iPhone as a new one. Do not use the old settings to restore.
Finally tell iTunes all your pictures, video , music an so to sync like the first time you have setup your iPhone.
I know this needs some work to do all the settings and syncs again but it helps to get rid of a forgotten passcode.
Hope this helps
Oliver

    After software update I can't drag  songs from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

    Same problem here but figured it out: Drag the song from the Media Browser tab (after selecting iTunes at the top) at the bottom right when you open a new GarageBand project. Hope this helps you -- working perfectly for me!

    Is the "software update" for iTunes 12?  Or something you did to the iPod?

  • All info gone after software update, how can i get it back?

    New G3, notified me I needed to sync w/itunes to get the new update. After syncing, and various problems and errors, it said i needed to restore my iphone... everything would be wiped clean +but i could get it back+ after the update was complete. Update is complete, where is the option to put all of my stuff back on my phone? My contacts, my appointments, my alarms, my life... aargh!

    Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
    Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
    I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

  • HT4623 My iPad is not connecting to internet after software update what can i do

    Hi everyone I just update the software 7.0.4 on my iPad 2 and after doing that cannot connect to internet, can somebody tell me
    what to do to correct this issue? Please 

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If yes you can try resetting your Network Settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note that you will have to re-enter all of your WiFI passwords.

  • I've had i tunes for a year or two and even after a reinstall,I can't access my itunes because of an error7 or windows error 127.Entry point not found.What do I do???please help

    I've had itunes now for a while.Now when i try and access itunes i get an error of entry point not found.and an error 7 windows error127.Says to reinstall itunes.I do and get the same result.What do I need to do....please help....

    Often that's caused by damage to one of the other software components.
    I'd try the following document first:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (If you're running XP, there's a link to the equivalent instructions for that OS in the document.)

    After trying to repower the Ipad it brought up the first screen of the cable to itunes. I connected the iPad to itunes to which it tells me it can't connect because of the passcode. Well since it is at the initial screen it won't let me enter the passcode??

    I think you're going to have to reconnect the ipad as a new device. This seems to happen on occasion, although it's not supposed to do it.

  • "The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    Dear Lawrence Finch: 
    If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
    "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
    No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding?  Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB.  Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
    Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
    Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with: 
    1.  OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]).  So that can't be the problem.
    Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
    2.  USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
    3.  No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
    4.  No "usb hubs."
    5.  Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]).  If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
    6.  No antivirus software.
    7.  No security software.
    8.  No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period.  Wired Ethernet.
    9.  No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
    10.  No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section.  It's turned OFF.
    11.  Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was.  There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
    xxxxx local host
    xxxxx broadcast host
    xxxx local host
    Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
    So that's it.  If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
    Many thanks!

  • Iphone could not activate after software update

    iphone could not activate after software update (iSO5). it reads, on itunes, "there is no sim card on the iphone", even though there is one in the phone. i tried taking the sim out and re-inserting it, but the same problem still repeats. Anyone to help?

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

    Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

  • Can't open iTunes any more?! (after software update)

    After the last software update I can't open iTunes any more. Error message: "you can't open the application itunes because it is not supported on this type of mac". how is that possible? does the system really update to a itunes version, I can't run? how stupid is that?
    thanks!

    I think what you are saing is that you have error message free launch failure with iTunes.exe persisting on the processes tab .
    If so this is commonly due to a problem with cryptographic services. Here is a diagnostic Method for working out the problem:
    Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
    A couple of simple things to try:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
    Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
    But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
    Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
    Start>>Run>>Services.msc
    you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
    Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
    Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
    Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
    If there are no errors try starting iTunes.
