Device is locked

hi, i have just bought a blackberry bold 9780 secondhand on ebay, it has been fully refurbished, i set a password on it and have unlocked it since but then this morning i tried and it is not letting me in. i am on attempt 6 of 10 and have heared it will wipe all my data, i don't mind if it does because i haven't put much on it but will i be able to start a fresh and use it again if i use the rest up, i don't intend on spending any money having it specially unlocked

If you fail 10 times, it is exactly intended to return the device to "out of the box" condition. Refer:
Article ID: KB16307 Actions performed by the BlackBerry smartphone during the removal of stored user and application data
Article ID: KB10385 Multiple attempts to type in a password prompts a warning that data will be wiped from the BlackBerry smartphone
However, since this is 2nd hand, also refer:
Article ID: KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
If all Seller steps were not conducted by the actual owner of record with their previous carrier, then you may be unable to fully use the device with your carrier.
Good luck!

  • "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  My iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 and I'm using iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3

    "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them."  That's the new error message when I plug in my iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 into the MacBook Pro running iPhoto '11 v.9.4.3.  My Mac OSX is still 10.8.5.
    So, I unlock the iPhone by entering the "passcode" before I plug it into the MBP and still iPhoto does nothing.  At least it doesn't issue the error message above.
    I've checked both iPhoto preferences and those for Photos and Camera in the Settings on the iPhone.  There doesn't seem to be anything to change this lack of connectivity.
    What next please?

    An hour-long phone discussion with Apple Support yesterday solved this question and sorted a couple of others.
    As for this one, do not ignore any messages which pop up when you plug in your iPhone and ask "Trust this computer?".  The correct reply is "Yes", not "Cancel".
    OK, you cancelled like I did, thinking "What on earth is this for?".  Mistake.  You can force the issue by having iTunes open when you next plug in your iPhone.  Tell the iPhone that it can trust its old friend, your computer and voila!  Your photos can download into iPhoto again.
    Thank you, Jay with Apple Sydney, Australia!

  • Photos in the camera roll of "iPhone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  Tried just about everything - suggestions?

    Photos in the camera roll of "iPhone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  Tried just about everything - suggestions?

    Because your computer sees your phone, as it would see any digital camera, as long as you have photos in your camera role. Since you state you don't sync with this computer & have a passcode on your phone, that's why you get that message. The only way to prevent that message is either start syncing with this computer; remove the photos from your camera roll prior to connecting; or first turn off your passcode before you connect. Either that, or you live with it.
    You shouldn't be storing photos in your camera roll anyway. iPhone camera roll is not designed for photo storage. You should be regularly importing them.

  • How to disable the message that pops up every time i connect my iphone "photos in the camera roll of iphone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode"?

    Wrongly posted in iPhoto forum, should probably be posted here instead.
    I want to remove the message that pops up every time i connect my IPhone that says: "Photos in the Camera Roll of "Name" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.".
    This computer is not one that I want to import photos to (or sync with the iPhone), so this message is just very annoying, and it pops up all the time. I cannot find a way to disable this message. It is constantly appearing. No application is launching, I have turned off the iPhoto launch in the Image Capture app as well as in iPhoto. Thanks in advance if anyone has any information about this.

  • IPhoto won't import photos because the "device is locked"

    I recently plugged my iPhone into my computer and attempted to import my pictures into iPhoto. Up until now I've been able to import photos just fine. This time, iPhoto gave me the message "Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.  You must unlock the device to import them." I found this strange because 1) my phone was already unlocked and 2) iPhoto gave me this message BEFORE I plugged in my phone. I quit iPhoto, plugged in my phone and tried opening the program again. Still the same message appeared.
    I tried turning off my passcode, quitting and restarting iPhoto (multiple times), Googling the problem, and reading THIS community post (which doesn't entirely help because I've already 'trusted' the computer). Even with my phone disconnected, iPhoto still gives me the message that I need to enter a passcode to unlock the device.
    What next?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

    I am trying to upload photos from my iPhone to my macbook but each time I plug my iPhone into the macbook, a message comes up which says my device is locked with a passcode and I cannot load the photos. When I plug my phone in, it is on the home screen and unlocked so I don't understand what I am doing wrong. This has never occurred before. Please help.

  • 8520 device is locked

    my gf's blackberry has been locked.. how? I don't know.
    Her young cousin (13) was playing doodle jump and says he just exited back to the wallpaper but when she went to use it, it says thie device is locked, unlock, emergency call or cancel.
    He says hes definately not set any passwords etc.
    She is gutted as we know if you put in the wrong password 10 times it wipes everything and we've tried 8 passwords.
    She has first pics of our baby son being born and the last few pics of her dad on it before he died so hoping someone somewhere can tell us what to do.
    She has never set any passwords herself so is there any default passwords etc?
    I was able to get the IMEI off the original box because we cannot get into any settings on the phone etc. and tried getting an unlocking code from a website but even then cant enter it because it tells you to use it go into options...
    Please someone help

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Someone set a password. There is no "default" password. There is no "back door" password. Only the password that someone programmed can unlock the BB. Nothing else.
    Good luck!

  • DEVICE IS LOCKED SCREEN HAS MOVED

    Really minor point, but it is bugging me...I recently updated the software on my blackberry 9780 after being instructed to do so when i connected it to desktop manager.
    Now when my phone times out and requires a password, I need to scroll down to unlock to access the input bar.
    Previously if i pressed enter it would automatically get me there.
    I know this is minor, but appears to be because when i password lock my screent eh homescreen grows a little and the Device is Locked display has a tiny arrow indicatng there is more info below(which there is not).
    I have tried changing the home screen page...restored my berry to its pre-update mode and still nothing...grrr
    Not the biggest problem anyone has had but i would appreciate some help anyway!

  • Device is locked by the program activate iphone

    Device is locked by the program activate iphone
    I have a mobile device and the tray, but is unable to run two Is there a solution

    You can't delete it. You bought a used iPhone, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to aside from asking the previous owner to remove the phone from Find my iPhone. If you cannot contact them, you won't be able to use the phone at all.

  • Attempting to update iphone software via pc.  itunes engaged.  back up does not appear to have occurred.  device now locked requesting restore action.  anyway to save photos in this status?  or restore after ?

    attempting to update iphone software via pc. itunes engaged. back up does not appear to have occurred.  device now locked. requesting restore action.  anyway to save photos in this status? or restore after?

    it was just the biggest mistake of today, not my life :P
    restoration steps i took were:
    1. connect the dead phone to another pc with itunes turned on
    2. follow the notifications on that itunes
    3. restore the phone
    4. disconnect the phone after the restoration without clicking any buttons of that itunes
    5. connect the phone to my own pc
    6. my own pc can recognize the phone and itunes will try to restore the backup of my phone
    7. restore from the backup on my pc
    8. sync everything (tick all the apps in itunes manually since there is no such button to select all) and reorganize all the apps
    9. after ca. 25 min, the phone is back to the previous sw version

  • HT5463 In my opinion, when the Silence setting is "only when the device is locked", it contradicts the settings you set above, like Manual. Can someone explain how these settings work together?

    Can someone explain how these settings work together? Manual seams to contraduct the SILENCE setting at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb page. It's very confusing.

    You should have seen information in the support document that you linked from. It used to be with the first version of Do Not Disturb that it would only function when the device was locked. That changed with iOS 7, and not it can be active all of the time. With it on Manual, it is on, but if you have the device "awake" that you can still receive calls/texts, etc. Sort of like you have the phone awake, so it isn't a problem for you to receive things. If you set the settings for Always, this means you can be doing things on the phone and not be disturbed by anything else. Does that make sense?

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

    Barry, the other stolen computer, my IMac does not show me a locked on such and such date, but simply says offline.  I set that computer to erase when it goes online and notify me when it is found, and to play a tone and play a message that the police are on their way!
