Brand New Iphone 4 disabled and Locked

Ok I have been searching the web for last 3 hours try to help my cousin who finally after a year her dad got her a phone from verizon and well she got an Iphone; only  to discover that somehow either she or someone in her house put a passcode on her phone. Then to make matters worse she kept trying to unlock it until it now reads "Iphone disabled connect to Itunes" unfortunately she has no computer or an itunes account as well as many searches I have found that maybe even the advice of the verizon store that connecting to itunes will not help with the passcode enabled as well and worse she has not even synced it to a computer she only got it yesterday afternoon. I have walked her thru every possible hard reset, unlock, re-enable option I could find and I have not been the only one her roommate as well and still nothing. Ideas real answers please someone HELP us!

Basically... you need a computer...

  • HT4623 my iphone is disabled and locked but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it. Can I sync it on a new computer

    my iphone is disabled and locked due to my 2 year old pressing too many numbers on my lock screen, but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it and use my phone. Can I sync it on a new computer, or how can I get it to work and open again as I have text messages and EVERYTHING on my phone I need.

    Sorry, just getting back. Since it is a used phone, you may have to contact the prior owner to see if they cleared their Apple ID and passcode. You could not force it into recovery mode? It sounds like it is still locked with someone's passcode. This may not help but I will link it here anyway: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I just got a brand new iphone 4s yesterday and found out today that the phone already had 10 days 15 hours cellular time used

    I just got a brand new iphone 4s yesterday and found that the phone already had 10 days 15 hours cellular time on it, does it mean the phone is a used one?

    That's not a reset pin. There is no reset hole in which to poke it. Neither is there a reset button.  It is the SIM removal tool. If you had it, it would save you the agony of finding a paper clip.
    The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.

  • How to locate a stolen phone which is active in different country. I have the serial number and IMEI number. It was brand new iphone 4S unlocked and never used.

    I was relocating from USA to India using Air India airways. On reaching Delhi, I did not receive my luggage. After 5 days of my arrival, I received my luggage with broken lock and my 2 iphone 4S and one Macbook pro air was missing. All these products were brand new and unopened from box. I filed complained about my missing electronics items but came up with empty handed. All these electronic products are registered in Apple in my name. After 2 months, I came to know by calling Apple representative that one of the iphone4S is active and is using Turkey carrier. I have the IMEI number and the serial number of this active iphone but due to Jurisdiction area limitation, I cannot do anything. Please let me know what I can do at best to alteast find out the complete gang involved in this shameful international electronic stolen item trafficking business. I still wonder how my iphone 4S reached Turkey although my itinerary was from Baltimore to NewYork to Paris to Delhi.

    The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

  • I have a brand new iphone 4. facebook and safari are slow. Is this the settings or the does the phone have a problem?

  • Brand new iPhone 4 frozen and not recognized by iTunes

    I got a replacement for my iPhone 4 today and it got disconnected while i was putting my old backup on the device, Now it is stuck on the apple with a loading bar and is not recognized when i plug it into iTunes?

    As AM_Kidd says, but I would do the Reset while connected to Wall Charger, and hold both buttons for at least 20 seconds. If this does not work. And you decide to Restore the Firmware. Then.
    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Then Restore the Firmware.

  • I dropped my brand new iPhone in water and apparently my insurance doesn't cover eater damage. Is there any loop holes to get a new phone without paying full price, Can i upgrade my insurance and then send it in in a week or so?

    How long do you have to wait to make in insurance claim.

        kaebarber,
    We should take a closer look into some options for you. Normally insurance covers water damage. Which insurance do you have? Is it through Verizon Wireless?

  • My brand new iPhone 5 keeps saying "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure "___" is turned on and in range" when I try to connect to my BlueTooth Stereo.

    I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 (White and Gold) and have been having trouble keeping it connected to my BlueTooth Stereo.  The stereo was purchased brand new back in September and is current on all software.  Before I had my iPhone 5, I had the iPhone 4 and had no troubles with it connecting or remembering to connect to the stereo when it was in range.  Now, in order to connect to it, I have to first "forget the device" then search for it again, find it, and connect.  As soon as I turn either the stereo off, turn the iPhone off, or switch modes on the stereo (to CD mode, radio, etc) it loses the connection and does not pick it up again.  It still shows up in my list of available bluetooth devices, but when I try to connect it says "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure '____' is turned on and in range" which of course, it is.
    I bought this stereo because I am a music teacher and use my phone frequently when teaching my classes.  You can probably imagine how cumbersome it becomes when after each class if I have alternated between using my iPhone to play music or switching to CD mode, I then need to "forget the device" and follow the steps I outlined above to get it working again.
    Has anyone else had this problem with the new iPhone and does anyone have a solution (I HOPE!!!!!)
    Thanks!

  • Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode

    So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message.  After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen.  I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results.  I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone."  Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?

    Hello rph30,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

    Is there a fix for the bug where my BRAND NEW iphone 5S is locking up when I enable the magnifying glass to edit a text and it locks up!?

    Try a reboot press & hold power button & menu until Apple Logo comes on then wait
    you will not lose any data.
    That may fix your problem.
