Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?
Phone is seriously frozen, Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?
I recently had a similar problem, turn the phone off, once off, hold down the home button, until you see a icon of a white usb wire with the words, connect to iTunes.
connect the phone to a usb port on your computer, iTunes will boot up, and the restore process will begin, make certain you are connected to the internet, since, once the process is completed, the phone will require activation, as well as need to download the restore software....

Can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data on an iPod touch
How can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data.
You have to restore from the computer to which it is synced. Everything on the ipod should be on the computer so it can be put back on the ipod after restore.

Hi,
We have a iPhone 4, running IOS 7.0.2
Have an issue that when it was set up a general iCloud was added to the phone, Different from our user of the phone. We now are unable to add another iCloud account (So that we can delete the old one), nor can we add any account under Settings,Mail,Contacts,Calendars... when we go there everything is whited out (greyed out) with no options available to change it. We are also presented with a "Restricted Code Prompt", which we do not know, (undocumented by our predecessors).
I thought the best solution may be to use iTunes to restore the phone to factory, but when launched I get the prompt to disable "Find my iPhone" in iCloud, which I can not access on the phone. See above.
So it seems I am stuck in a catch 22. Cannot restore the phone to factory as first I need to deactivate "Find my iPhone" on the Phone, cannot disable that as I cannot get access to any iCloud settings on the phone as it is whited-out (as are all the accounts).
I could send the Erase Command from the iCloud account on the web, but wonder by doing so with the new IOS is it going to technically "Brick it"?
Anyone have a another way to factory reset a commercially owned iPhone?
Thanks
LC@ESQ_ITForgotten Passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
This is right out of the Apple support article:
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:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device. -

Can you special order and iPhone without the oleophobic coating?
I know the old iPhones and iPods did not have an oleophobic coating on the screen. Alas, now all of their products have an oleophobic coating, which I am allergic to! I need to get a new phone and was hoping to switch to a smartphone, but yeah. Does anyone know if there is a way to special order a phone without the oleophobic coating?
No.
Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?
how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?
When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button. -

I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 and now i don't want the jailbreak any more so i restored the iphone without iTunes and then it turned it self off and now its stuck on the black screen with the loading sign. So please how can i turn my iPhone on again?
I figured it out by pressing the home button and the off button but when i turn my phone on again it's not restored. And when i try to restore it with iTunes it has to update but i can't update my phone because it's jailbreaked but if i can't update it, it won't restore the phone.

I went I to my phone and I tried to unlock my passcode but it did not let me in, how can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it onto the computer on iTunes, or restoring it or deleting any data ?
You don't. The only way to remove the passcode if forgotten is to restore the device. If you have a backup, you can restore to that last backup, but anything done since that last backup would be lost.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

HT4113 how do i reset my iPhone without iTunes?
i would like to know how can i enable my iphone without itunes.
A reset has nothing to do with iTunes.
What is meant by "enable" the iPhone?
If it is locked with a passcode and the passcode is unknown or forgotten, the only way to get the device functional is a restore via iTunes on a computer. -
Anyone know if I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop.
I am not keen to sync my iphone to my new laptop in case it wipes out my playlist.
My Computer had crashed so I am unable to export a playlist.
I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?
Any suggestions?Hello CDA ENT
I would turn off the automatic syncing so that way you can see what is on your iPhone. From there, you should be able to see what is on your iPhone and then can export out the playlists and then import them back to your library. I would also recommend backing up your iPhone before going through with this process. To export a playlist, have it highlighted then go to File > Library > Export Playlist…

Open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. Select the option to prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.

Restoring an Iphone without Itunes
Can you restore an Iphone without Itunes? Or is there another way to restore it without wiping out another IPod's music library on Itunes?
You can erase all content and settings on an iPhone without iTunes, but you can't restore an iPhone without iTunes.
Regardless what you do with an iPhone, no iTunes content in your iTunes library is ever erased. -
HT4623 can you help me restore my iphone
can you help me restore my iphone 5s to my own setting coz trying to transfer my photos to mycomputer last night but by mistaake the seeting and all the contacts was totally gone and the restored account and contacts on myphone rightnow was the contacys and seeting of my nephew..so can you help me restore everything to my phone?
Did you back up to iCloud as well?. If so, restore that backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings > reactivate phone > follow prompts to restore iCloud backups
Backups overwrite prior the backup. The only ones that are saved are those done during a major update or restore (as part of the process when prompted) If your iTunes backup was overwitted, it's gone unless you baked up your computer before this happened.

How can i reset or restore my iphone after dropping it in water
how can i reset or restore my iphone after dropping it in water????
There are a lot of posts here about your problem, read a few of them and they all come back to switching the phone off immediately and have it in a very good closed bag of dry rice for a week and advisely swith the rice for a fresh charge of dry rice every week for a number of weeks when it was really submersed. Ckuan advice times 3. The iPhone has a detector which indicates whether the iPhone was in the water, Apple can give you an indication about the price first if you visit them.
