Hey 1966Gt6,
I found an article that goes over what to do if you've forgotten or can't remember your passcode. Check it out here:

I think you can fix by plugging it in and restore plus back up. Go to apple.com to see if there would be another way.

Hey grandkids7k,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
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 shut down.
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.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,

How can i format my iphone3 if i cant remember my passcode

how can i format my iphone3 if i cant remember my passcode cause its to old

OK, good to know that you sometimes need a receipt. I guess if you buy directly from Apple (online or at an Apple Store) and probably some major resellers, then it's in their system when that iPod was sold, so no receipt is needed. That shuffe model was released a bit less than two years ago, so it can't be MORE than two years...
In your original post, you said
ive bought new cables
Did you buy a new cable because the one that came with it was lost or damaged? If so, did you buy the official Apple part
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A
There are third-party replacements, but you need to make sure it is described as being for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle. If the cable is for the 2nd gen shuffle, it will not work on a 4th gen shuffle. The connectors are different.
If it's the correct cable, when you connect it, does the shuffle appear anywhere else in Windows, such as in device manager?

i cant restore my ipad because i cant remember my password thats why im trying to restore it any ideas how to get round this

You will need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these instructions.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Your home network must have a wireless router somewhere in the house. All of your wireless devices use the same router password to connect to the network. That's where the password is stored and used. Log into your wireless network router and look under the wireless menu section. You should find your password there. If you have other wireless devices connected to your network maybe one of those will display the password. If your router is also password protected and you can't remember that either then your only solution is to reset the router to factory defaults and start over to rebuild your network. With security becoming more and more important these days most passwords are encrypted and not displayed in the open on any devices, including routers. It's extremely important that you remember or have the password written down somewhere and locked away for just such an occasion. Good luck.

Double tap with 3 fingers. You've accidentally enabled the zoom feature. You can then turn it off: Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom
