Forgot iPhone 4s password! I have tried everything. I'm using a different laptop because my old one got stolen.

I am using a different laptop due to theft of my last one, would this make a difference . What can I do to unlock it! This is driving me crazy, I have been trying for a week now.
Pllease! Someone help! My IPhone is to the point where it's saying conect to iTunes because I have disabled it. Help!!
Check this apple doc out -> iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). 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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If you can't remember the passcode and don't have access to the other computer, you'll have to restore it and setu it up as a new phone.

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My ITunes keeps cancelling my sync to my IPhone 5s and I have tried everything!
I recently got a new IPhone 5s for christmas and before that I was using an IPod touch 5th generation. Obviously I wanted to get all my old data from my IPod to my new IPhone and the only problem it seems I have now is that when I try and sync my music from my ITunes to my IPhone it always cancels the sync. the music left on my iphone has a red circle with a dot which means it's downloading but it's not and ITunes says all my music is already on my iphone but clearly not. I recently updated my ITunes to 11.1.3 and I have an IOS 7.0.4 version on my IPhone. I've read that this problem is happening a lot and mainly due to the new IOS/ITunes updates? I have literally tried everything from rebooting my entire IPhone, backing it up via Mac AND ICloud, deleting and re-syncing all my songs and nothings working. I feel so lost with out my music please help!!
The same thing is happening to me now and it's just been since the update before last, it seems. And the strange thing is that it's only doing it to songs that are demo-versions (I'm a musician) that have no metadata or ISRC codes or anything. Songs in this format have been transferred in the past without any problems, but that's changed; they show up as ghost songs on my iPad mini (which is fully updated) and any playlist that has one of those ghost songs in it will not play, even if the rest of the songs are fine.
I think Apple needs to address this fast because I'm sure I'm not the only one receiving non-commercial Mp3s or .wav files and needs to use them in various forms on our devices! -
Purchased "Boggler" application by guru software, but it never downloaded. How do I download it or get money back from Apple? Tried removing free one and then downloading, but it wouldn't download anything but the free one. Tried getting it from my list of purchased apps in iTunes, but it isn't there. Got email receipt from iTunes, but no program. Tried restarting iPod. Nope. Went to gurumobileapps.com, but the page is now blank. Even the free program now crashes from time to time. Sometimes when I try it tells me it can't download it because there's no connection, but I don't have that problem with anything else. Anybody else have Boggler and have problems with it?
If an app is no longer in the App store you can't redownload it.
You can contact iTunes and see if yo can get a download since you said you never fully download it.How to Get a Refund from the App Store -

help me please ! I have tried everything to get my credit card off the itunes no one will help
Just so you know, you can redeem iTunes cards without having to remove your credit card. If you want to remove the card, though, try redeeming the iTunes card and then go into your account information and see if the "none" option then appears in the Payment Method section. If not, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password. I have tried everything. I even changed the password, nothing is working. Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5. I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack. Please help, I need to use this feature soon. Thank you so much
Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect. -

I have a ipod 5th gen and i changed my password because everyone knew it. I had forgotten it and now it is fully disabled. I can not get it online anymore and i have tried everything to get it restored. Please help as I am really worried
Disabled
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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. -
