Brand new iphone 4, forgot 4 digit password. haven't synched to itunes yet. help!
I'm such an idiot. I just changed my 4 digit password last night, because my kids figured out my first password so quickly. NOW, I've forgotten it, and I'm locked out for an hour. I literally got this phone three days ago and haven't synched it with itunes yet. I don't care if it goes back to facory settings, because I haven't done much with it so far. I just need to get into my phone. Please help!
a restore to factory default is required

so..basically- can I sync my phone here to get it started, and then continue playing at home? I have no intentions in ever transferring anything from my work computer- but I want to get this up and running!

iTunes: How to set up an iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
I know you are impatient but better to wait until you get home and take your time thus eliminating mistakes.
Connect the iPhone to your computer and follow the onscreen instructions. If you connect the iPhone to another computer first, you will have to re authorize your home computer. You don't want to do that.

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.
Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

"Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S
"Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S
It says "there was a problem connecting to the server?"
Wi-Fi in range, ID and Password Correct.... What is going on?Check that the email address is correct for your login. You'd be surprised how many times I've seen people see the prompt and just go with a password and not realize that the email address was wrong.
Aside from that, you can try resetting your password via the iForgot app.
If you forgot your password, you can easily recover or reset it using iForgot. For security reasons, Apple cannot reset your password for you. To protect yourself against unauthorized purchases to your credit card, do not give out your password to anyone.
NOTE: If you attempt to sign in to the Apple Online Store numerous times with the wrong password, you will see the following error message: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." To reset your account, use iForgot. -

I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet.. I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.
Have a look at this it might help

I have a brand new IPhone 4G. I can't get it to ring. I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone. But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise
Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

I just got a brand new iPhone 4S on a contract from my local Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3GS onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address (hotmail) that isn't mine! My old phone has NEVER had any Apple ID other than mine log into it, and the new one's a sealed box that I've opened and set up from scratch. Can anyone please explain this? I'm worried there's some kind of problem with my iCloud data being mixed with someone else's or something... Since I logged in with my own ID, it's downloaded the data perfectly fine, but I just got the Apple ID prompt again a moment ago with this same hotmail address in it... I'd be very grateful for any explanation!
In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of. -
i would like to get my notes back from itunes or at least be able to see them without restoring my brand new iphone 4s as i believe the back up from my previous iphone is corrupted. Help please
If you can't restore from your backup you could try 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to see if you could extract your notes from the backup.

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:

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 4 - Nearly NO signal
Hello.
I got a BRAND new iPhone 4 yesterday. Had **** much trouble activating it. Could not understand why, but i see now it's because of signal.
I got 1 bar in signal here. My 3GS lies beside it with full signal. Also my backup Sony Ericsson C702 got full signal. All on same operator. If i hold my hand over the iP4 i loose all signal, but 3GS and SEc702 is unaffected. I dont even touch it. Then i have to hold the iPhone 4 to the window and go slow in and lay it exact same place to hold the signal to 1.
This is in Norway, the dealer where i bought it would / could not help me. Apple said i had to talk to the dealer. The operator said they had no antenna problems nearby.
Anyone know how i can look this up? The dealer says i must order the "antenna fixing bumper" which is ********, because all that crap is build of is plastic! Which will not help the signal anyway.
Please? I would appreciate if i diden't have to wait any longer to use my phone. If i have to turn it back i end up at the end of the list of waiting persons. Dammit3GS = 5Bars (Full)
I4 = 0 Bars / 1 Bar (DB: -113 when 1 bar)
C702: 6Bars (Full)
All on Edge.
I4 is BRAND new yesterday.
Tried:
- Reset network
- Reset all
- Restore
- Restore & restore backup
- Download new ipsw and restore from
- Jailbreak and unlock
- Restore with other sim (other carrier)
- Called apple (said it was the retailer's problem)
- Called carrier (said it was no problem with the closest antenna)
- Called retailer (said i either could get my money back or wait for the bumper since the antenna had a problem they said it had to be that!)
- Restoring again with sim1 in
- Restoring with sim2
- Resetting all settings
- Hard Reset
Still same problem. When i go outside i get 1 bar and edge (-113) can call and everything. But when i take it inside or puts it in my pocket i get "No Service".
If i return it i have to wait enourmus time to get it fixed. Since norway have to send it to apple repair to check it .. Norway only got 2000 iPhone4 and it's all sold out.
WHY apple? Why do you give me a defected device? Why dont you guys contact me and say "We'll send you a new phone directly NOW and you can just return the old to us!".
Oh goood
