Forgot passcode on iphone 5s and tried everything but failed
I forgot my passcode and have tried everything but they all failed. I tried to connect to itunes and restore it but it required passcode in order to do so. I have also tried to put it in recovery and connect to itunes but after several munites of downloading, it still required passcode and need response on iphone to restore. I do not have find my iphone nor have a icloud account on my iphone. Please help!!!! thank you in advance.
I'm not sure what you mean by everything. Are you sure it's not asking you to create a passcode? This is what you have to do: Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

I forgot passcode on my iphone5 and tried to restore it through itunes on my PC. However it gave me an error message saying that that my phone could't be restored due to an unknown error. Now my phone does't turn off and it doesn't sync with itunes.

I find it hard to believe that so many people can forget a FOUR digit password that they use every day on their phone! For goodness sakes write it down somewhere!!
Contact Apple Support in your country and see what they can do to help.

HT1212 forgot passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it
I forgot my passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it. I tried the recommended methods listed on Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support but they did not worked. Every time I tried to restore it kept asking me to allow access on iphone which I forgot the passcode. I do not have find my iphone on this phone nor icloud. I am willing to lose all my datas just to get my phone back to working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Apparently you did not follow the instructions in that article that address your issue. If you forgot your passcode, then you cannot restore it. You have to erase it by selecting the appropriate link under Erase and Restore.
Erase the device. Once it is erased, it will no longer need a passcode. If you are talking about an Activation Lock, that is a different matter. Is that what you are referring to?
Cheers,

My iphone is dead, tried everything but nothing is happening?
I am fearing the worst, having to send it in to get it repaired. But my phone is not under warranty so have to pay for it. So far, my phone is not doing anything, just a black screen, tried plugging it in and restoring it in itunes, but that doesnt work, i tried the power button and home button thing, and that doesnt work. So fearing that it is either a battery thing or screen thing, so might have to get it repaired. Might as well use it as a paperweight, because that is all it is good for unless i pay for it to get repaired.
So far try to do the hold power and home button thing, but that didnt work, now comes the harder part, trying to use every download and help like tinyumbrella, recboot, limera1, redsnow and ifaith, to see if any of those help. But no luck yet.

Which version of iMovie?

Sorry, but we are not mind readers. -
When I select the Recovery drive it tries and then I can't get further than a white screen. My curser so has 2 columns of marks like a horizontal barcode. I think it's a software problem. When I boot up in safe boot, I have run the disc utility and it says the disc is fine and I have run the repair permissions but it makes no difference.
Thanks AAndy but I had read all of that and tried everything but I have no disks as I upgraded from Snow Leopard over the internet. I have my Snow Leapard box but the disk is missing so I can't use that and anyway, I can only boot up in safe boot so it wouldn't recognise the superdrive. I had a copy of the recovery on a flash but it doesn't recognise that. I have redownloaded it but cannot get it onto an external because of safe boot. I have done the following
Reset the PRam, reset the desktop.
Tried the D key - no responce
Tried opt D and Command D - no responce
Comant R, jusr R and opt R - no responce
By no responce, I mean that the wheel goes round under the apple and then it goes white - and stays like that.
The only thing that I can do, is to boot up on the option key when it give me a choice of drive. If I select Recover, wheel turns under apple - white wcreen
If I boot up on the shift key, it boots into safe mode and there it stays, quite happy surfing the internet and playing stupid Facebook games, so long as I don't want to use any search engines (none of which work (not finder, not mail, not anything) and then after a few hours of forgotton pleasure, it crashes!
The only thing I can think of to do is to redownload Lion - it appears in my purchased account in the App Store but, Sod's law, our satellite internet is not working and I don't think my phone account has enough MBs - anyone know how many Lion is?
I can't backup because I can't use an external drive and old one stopped working a few months ago, so I haven't been backing up and as this is the first problem I have ever had with my iMac in 7 years, I had got a bit comlascent! However, I am pretty certain that I can re-install Lion without wiping my hard drive - I have done it years ago with an older system and an older Mac.
Do you think that downloading Lion again and re-installing it will help? Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks for responding so far. -
I recently got my iPhone 5s and tried to restore it with the stuff on my old iPhone but I couldn't because the iPhone 5 didn't have the recent update, so I set it up and a new iPhone, will I be able to use iCloud to restore now or will I need to use my laptop ?
I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps! -

I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.
Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours. -

my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help
When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network? -
My IPhone's volume is not working. I have checked and tried everything. When I use my headset I can hear when phone rings or receive text msg when I pull the jack out I have no sound on anything
I had this problem with my 4s a couple of times when I'd taken the headphones out and it hasn't registered it. My solution was easy, all I had to do was turn the phone off and then on again.
Although I'm sure you've already tried this its a sometimes forgotten and very easy solution to a lot of problems. I hope you find out what's wrong.
