Cannot enable restrictions on iphone 5

I am trying to enable restrictions on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3). I tap on enable restrictions where I am prompted for a passcode. I enter a passcode then re-enter it but then it goes back to the screen and all the options are still greyed out and the top button still says "enable restrictions". Any ideas??

I am going to answer my own question for those that have had this same problem. With the help of the AWESOME people at Apple this was a simple fix.
Tap on the following:
SETTINGS
GENERAL
RESET
RESET ALL SETTINGS (You will NOT lose any data or content. So don't worry!)
Your phone will reset itself. Though you will have to change back your ringtones and wallpapers if you changed them.
Hope this helps others!

  • Why I cannot enable 3G on iPhone 4S

    How come you cannot enable and disable 3G on the iPhone 4S but you can on the iPhone 4 with iOS5?

    I have the same problems - in the area I life 3G is very poor so it allways changes, searches or just has 1 reception point. So I allways had 3G deactivated.
    In the 4S it´s impossible to do so - damm..
    And I think I´ve found out the reason why: SIRI
    When you don´t have 3G Siri cannot work properly - if I ask SIRI "where do you come from" - I get an answer on WIFI or 3G but on Edge it tells me that it didn´t understood me.
    So it seems that Siri only works with a descent 3G connection - that´s maybe the reason why the took out the possiblity to deactivate as then Siri won´t make sense anymore.
    PLEASE APPLE I DON`T CARE! I want to save my battery and have stable connection for phoning etc.
    Siri is not more important for me then that - so please bring the functionality back - or you force me to jailbreak what I didn´t do on my 2G or 3GS so I don´t want to do that no either.
    Please give us the freedom to decide!

  • HT201304 Cannot enable restrictions in general settings

    After doing ios6 update, my restrictions are set & I'm missing utube, cannot sync my phone, etc. I'm trying to enable it but its asking for a 4 digit pass code & I've never created one. Please help.

    Are you running iOS 6.x?

  • HT5594 After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

    After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

    I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
    I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
    In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
    Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
    Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
    Hope this helps!

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen

  • In ios 7, all of my settings are lost if I disable and then enable Restrictions.

    In ios 7, when I set various settings under Restrictions (In General-Settings-Restrictions), all of my settings keep getting lost whenever I disable and then enable Restrictions. Is there some other way to 'toggle' restrictions on and off? I want to be able to toggle my restrictions on whenever I give my phone to my child, but when I click on 'Enable Restrictions', it clears all of the restriction settings I just set!
    This is either a very annoying bug, or I am missing something.

    Well, there's not. Restrictions are not designed to be used the way you want to use them. Again, tell Apple:

  • Cannot enable photostream

    I have photostream turned on and is working on iPhone and iPad, but when I try to turn on photostream in iPhoto on my computer is says it cannot enable it.
    It does say that I am logged in under the correct apple ID.
    I used to have it working fine earlier. I don't think I have changed anything recently.
    Any thoughts on where to start?

    I just had a related problem which demonstrates how Apple user-friendliness is slipping.  I didn't see photo stream album  in iphoto 11 (version 9.3.2, which is already confusing--couldn't it be 11.3.2 or something?).  So, I went to preferences, saw it wasn't checked and clicked the box to activate it.  The check mark appears for a split second but doesn't "stick".  No error, just impossibility of checking it.  So I look at ICloud system preferences and see that photostream is clicked there. On a whim, I unclicked it, went back to iphoto, and discovered that now I can enable photosharing and the box is clicked (although later when I look again it's unclicked).  Who is designing this stuff?

  • Cannot enable wifi

    iphone 4s with ios6 cannot enable slider to turn wireless on/
    already reset network settings, turned of/on airplane settings and resarted phone.

    It may not enable. The only sure soltion is that Apple fixes its corrupt software. Apple however deny that this proble exists, so they may never fix it.
    I have the same problem.

  • Error! cannot enable extended adj rogue

    I need a little help.
    When enabling Adjacent Channel Rogue (Management>Trap Controls>Security), I get the following error:
    Error! cannot enable extended adj rogue.
    Why do I get this error?
    Reading the WLC help pages, I did not see any documentation on this error nor enabling Adjacent Channel Rogue.
    Searching the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide, Release 7.4, I did read any documentation on this error nor enabling Adjacent Channel Rogue.

    I never use it, but it probably give you an error because you are not either using monitor mode APs or RLDP enabled. You don't want to enable RLDP either just to let you know. Here is more info on rogue detection and does explain the caveats to using RLDP.

    Make sure Siri isn't disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions.
    If that isn't it, did you try to restore as a new device?
