Forgot pass code but i don't have my iPhone synced???

What do i do when i forgot my iphone passcode and guessed until it said connect to itunes but i dont have it synced to any computer or labtop?

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.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
Select the Summary tab.
Select the Restore option.
When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or you see "iPhone is activated."
The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT201406 Trying to update an iPad to os7.   Need 4 digit pass code.  I don't have one and am locked in the update?  What should I do?

    Trying to update to Os7.  Program is asking for four digit pass code and I do not have one set up.  Now I an locked in the update.   What should I do?

    Check to make sure you are not being asked to set up a pass code. Look for a very small Skip button. If the Skip button is there you are being asked to create a passcode. Either enter the four digits you want to use (and remember them) or tap on Skip.

    Generally, when going out of the country and using a foreign SIM, carrier files can be changed. Go to Settings>General>About>and look at Carrier? What does it say? You may have to perform a restore. You can try a restore from a backup, that would reinstall the iOS, and would provide the latest AT&T carrier file as well. See if this will fix the problem.

  • Transfer ADOBE creative Suite from an old Mac to a new Mac, I have the code but I don't have a CD. What are the correct steps?

    Hi
    I bought a new Mac and I want to transfer my Adobe Creative Suit CS6 to it from my old one. What are the correct steps? Please note that I don't have a CD because I downloaded it via the net. It was an upgrade for the student edition. I heard something about deactivation and reactivation but I don't want to do something wrong then lose my precious software. Please help. Thanks.

    You can download the software and install it using the page linked below.
    CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there should be no reason to deactivate it on your other machine, or at least you can wait until you see it loaded and working on the new one.

  • Update to iOS7 now asks for security code.  I don't have one.

    i just updated my wife's phone to iOS 7.0.4.  It is now asking me for a security code but I don't have one.  How do I turn on my phone?

    During the update to iOS 7.0.4 you are encouraged to create and use a passcode. Are you sure the screen you are seeing is not just asking for you to CREATE a passcode? If so I recommend creating, REMEMBERING and using a passcode to protect the data on your iPhone.
    But there should also be a small "Skip" button that you can tap to avoid creating a passcode.

  • My iPad is asking me for a restriction pass code but I have never set one so I don't know what it is. I'm trying to reset the device because I have sold it.

    My iPad is asking me for a restriction pass code but I have never set one so I don't know what it is. I'm trying to reset the device because I have sold it.

    Try erasing the device using iCloud.com - assuming that you were using iCloud and the Find my iPhone app on the device.

  • How do I enter an itunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC?

    How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either.  Am I out of luck?

    As I noted in the other thread:
    There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
    The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
    While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
    Does that clarify matters somewhat?
