Ask for pass code before turning it off?

I iPhone would ask us for the pass code before we can turn it off, if it's stolen people that have it will be unable to turn it off so we can find it using find my iPhone.

For one thing, it would create a fire and safety hazard if the phone were to be physically damaged and could not be powered off.
The power off function is not truly a power switch. It is merely a signal to the electronics to power down the device which even then is not a full power down. There is still some power consumed as when you push this "soft" button again for several seconds the device will power up. There is no true power removal switch on the phone. Your argument about removing power is moot. With a soft power on/off switch if the product is damaged the power off/on function is probably not going to work. As such there are no regulatory requirements as the device is operated by low voltage batteries, not household mains. Big difference.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Apps locked / frozen and on going to setting and rest it asks for pass code. Use standard one that I use all the time and it states 1 failed attempt. I have not forgotten pass ode as I use it 20 times a day. Over 70 years of age so make the response simpl

The 3 apps required updating but they have frozen. Did not realise this until Candy Crush froze. Went to reset and it asked for pass code. I entered standard code and it stated one failed attempt. I may be over 70 years of age but have not forgotten pass code!! I hope that the solution is simple!!

If your iPad was used by another person in the past, it may be asking for their passcode.
If your iPad has been synced with a computer before, restoring with your computer should fix it now.

You will need to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

Acrobat 10 pro doesn't ask for validation code

installing acrobat10 pro on imac with 10.8. When I try to open first time it doesn't ask for validation code. Application opens for a few seconds then crashes.I've tried installing 3 times with same results. What am I missing?

I thought I was buying the complete suite but it came as CS and Acrobat as separate discs, but I found a fix on one of the forums. I had to throw away an adobe folder that held the registration for CS and then it asked for Acrobat registration. Apparently I need to install Acrobat before CS?
Thanks for your response.

6280 keeps asking for a code

I have a 6280 on O2, it has started to ask for a code, it started asking for it only when it was first turned on, now its asking for it a couple of time a day. no nokia codes work, O2 said remove battery and sim whilst the phones on! that clears it until the next time.
Any ideas how to stop it?
Thanks
Mark.

You need to find out what code it is asking you for - is it a PUK code or a lock code ?
Can you make calls ? If not it'll be a PUK code probably.
One thing you can try doing is resetting your phone, although this may delete some data from your phone.
Please see page 75 of 120 of the manual here :
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_6280_UG_en.pdf
for instructions on how to do so.
If it's a lock code then you will need to approach your network operator for further assistance - the default is usually 12345.

My apple ipad is asking for a code which I do not have and is now deaktivated

My iPad asked for a code which I did not have. Now it is deaktivated. I have a problem!

Whether you set the passcode or not, if the iPad insists that you enter the passcode, you will have to restore your iPad if it is disabled now.

Please help me! My n73 is asking for Lock code, but it doesnt accept my private code which i usually used... how can I reformat my phone manually? i am a media and my phone is very necessity to me... please help me...

The default security code is 12345. If would be something else if you have changed it but try it anyway.
If it doesn't work then your only option in your local Nokia Care Centre. Remember to bring the receipt or any other proof of purchase with you.
