    is your wifi network 100% open then?
    if your router have a default name rather then one you set
    then maybe it's trying to connect to another wifi network with the same name
    or just another wifi network all together

    If iCloud Backup is set to Off in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, it means that your iPod will not automatically back up to iCloud, but will automatically back up to your computer when you sync.  The only way you would risk losing data is if you have never synced with iTunes before.  If that's the case, you have to take special precautions to avoid losing data, as outlined in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

    i forgot my iphone password to unlock it an i dont have acsesibility to it

    If you have an iCloud account with Find My iPhone enabled with the account settings on your iPhone along with backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, you can do a remote wipe for your iPhone by accessing your iCloud account with a browser on a computer. You can then go through the setup assistant on the iPhone selecting to restore from your iCloud's backup when prompted.

  • I dont know the admin password and i dont have a disc how do i bypass this

    i need to access admin privlages but i dont have the password and i didnt recive the disc it came with how do i bypass this so i can become a admin?

    It is best to get a disk. Ring an Apple store and they may be able to provide a replacement for your original disk.
    The other benefit of owning a disk is it can be used to repair your hard drive.
    Without a disk it is like driving a car without a spare. Most of the time you don't need it except for the time when you do, and then you are stranded.

  • I forgot my passcode  and i dont have the computer that i last synced it to (That computer broke)

  • How do i change the icloud account associated with my iphone and ipad when i forgot the password and no longer have access to the email account?

    I have an iPhone 5c and an ipad 3.  using the latest version of iOS.  I can't delete the old iCloud account on the devices without putting in a password but I don't have it, nor a way to change it via email since the email acct is an old one.

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your devices, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Hello Ronda,
    I am in the same situation as Kathylynn.  My Ibook was purchased through a school district.  They recently upgraded their computers and have sold the outdated ones.  I have no way of getting in the information through the previous owners.

    In your case your only solution is to restore it ( see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ) and you may need to force it into restore mode to do that.  This will wipe everything off it and reset it as new, without the passcode.  You can then redownload purchased content, buy unless you have a sync'd copy of your contacts and photo's they will be gone.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
