Disable and remove PayPal SMART CONNECT
I have followed the directives given here in two different and older topics that seemed to pertain to my issue ... PayPal Smart Connect still shows in my PayPal Wallet as a payment option. Until it is removed, I cannot link my Buyer Credit account, nor set the default payment method. PM 5/28 ... mistakenly accepted the PayPal Smart Connect that I thought maybe the name changed from PayPal Buyer Credit. AM 5/29 ... I called the Credit Service Center at 1-866-571-3012 to CLOSE the account. The rep had to read miscellaneous disclosures to me and hear my acceptance that I still wanted to close the account. She then CLOSED the account. Midday on 5/29 .... It is still linked to my PayPal Wallet ... so I sent PayPal customer service a request to change my account and REMOVE the CLOSED/ INVALID PayPal Smart Connect from my account. ... I received an automated response on how to change my password or email address. I replied to that email and again requested the PayPal Smart Connect be removed from my PayPal Wallet. It is a closed account. So after following directives given by PayPal_Frank (392644) and PayPal_Adrian (489740) ... I'm at a loss ... Please help! Do I need to close my PayPal account all together and then re-open it? That makes no sense, but I don't see any other options. Thanks in advance for your time.
I am going to mark the RESOLVED for me, but note to others trying to remove ... You need to CLOSE the Smart Connect account through Synchrony at 866-571-3012, THEN contact PayPal Customer Service via the contact us webform or the number for PayPal.

How to REMOVE PayPal Smart Connect from PayPal Account
I've been trying to REMOVE the PayPal Smart Connect from my PayPal Account with no luck. I already cancelled my PayPal Smart Connect. I confirmed today that is cancelled but it's linked to my PayPal Account and I don't find a way to REMOVE it. I wrote to PayPal and they told me PayPal Smart Connect are the only one that can remove it, but I call PayPal Smart Connect and the only option I've been given is to CANCEL the account which is already cancelled. Does anyone know how to REMOVE it??
Hi JeyJey,

my kids entered the passcode several times wrong and now it is disabled and written on it"connect to itunes" , when i did connect it to itunes it said "can not connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode" what can i do pls?
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. -
got the credit limit of $700 and only spent $180 so far with 1 confirmed purchase. The other charges were all canceled and never went through but they show up immeaditly and drop the credit limit, so now i have only $80 on it yet i spent only 180 of 700. two charges were from gyft.com and were cancelled because they needed more info or something both of these were 250 because i tried again. the credit limit has never went back up and i am unable to use smart connect. i contacted paypal through email to no avail. plz help

Congrats! A question about the PayPal Smart Connect credit account: Do you think it is useful? I find the credit account doesn't have a physical card nor rewards! Besides, you can always use PayPal with a link to your bank account to make a payment. Surely you can get extra credit when you pay on PayPal. Besides these, where can you get benefit from the Smart Connect account? Thanks.You are very astute. It is a piece of crap account. I applied for the Paypal MC and they gave me this. It's also very slow to post and a pain to make payments unless you push them from your bank. If they had not increased my limit today I would have seriously thought about closing it. I use it for the no-interest for larger eBay purchases. I have had the account for almost a year, and I have never once paid interest on it. That in and of itself, I consider a reward. I only had one issue with a payment, and that was very early on. I made two payments within the statement period, and for some reason they decided to "hold" the second one for 15 days. They told me that it was because it was a "massive payment" (it was $500.. but at that point it was most of my $700 limit), and they wanted to make sure that it would actually clear on my relatively new account. After talking to them for a few minutes, they pushed the payment through, and I have had no issues since.
I generally pay the account from Paypal, often from its account balance from eBay sales. Those tend to go faster than from my bank account. -
PayPal Smart Connect & PayPal Credit
For the last 3 months I've been having the issue with not being able to pay my PayPal credit account online. As I look at my money page it shows both my PayPal Smart Connect and PayPal Credit accounts when I click on make a payment for my PayPal Credit account. I called customer service and was told I can't have 2 different accounts tied to one account. So I had to open another PayPal account to connect the PayPal Credit account. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. On top of which it took me over 2 hours on the phone to before I finally got a supervisor on the phone who knew what he was doing and I was able to get this mess figured out. I plan on paying off of both of these accounts and never using them again. Bill Me Later (now PayPal Credit) was better before PayPal got in and **bleep** it up.

What of this options is better , smart connect or paypal credit ? i need better score for the mastercard version. My understanding is that you can't directly apply for Smart Connect; you apply for the PayPal Mastercard, and if you don't qualify they will consider you for Smart Connect instead. As for PayPal credit, it is a separate product... actually, it's the "new" name for what was once called 'Bill Me Later'. I don't have the products myself, so I can't offer any additional info. I'm sure there are many others that will have data points to contribute. -

It's disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes. But when I do that, iTunes wont detect the iPod.I have put the iPod in USB- mode, and by that I mean I have tried connecting with holding the home button when connecting the USB. Help?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

I have the same problem with mine... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
good luck tho

I added a persona, wanted a new one so disabled and removed the old one. I added a new persona, but the old one keeps coming back. Going into tools/add ons does no good because it is not even listed anymore but keeps coming back. I've shut down/restarted, I've searched for answers to this problem.
The data that specifies which persona to display is stored as a pref in the prefs.js file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Did you try to rename or move the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file to see if that helps?
Are you using the Personas Plus extension, because in that case you need to check the settings in that extension.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes but itunes says it can't sync because it is locked. Any way to unlock and keep data? (apps, gaming levels, music).
Hi,
Take it to you nearest Apple Store and see what they have to say. You should back up you data before you go in but in your case you can not.
