I bought an iPod mini and I was able to work on it one night. Now it says I need a 4 digits pass code to initiate and is blocked. What can I do?
You will need to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

I'm trying to download a song and it is saying this is the first time I have purchased from this computer but it isn't and now wants security questions answered and I can't remember them I guess keeps coming up incorrect please help
Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can assist with recovering lost answers.

The 3 apps required updating but they have frozen. Did not realise this until Candy Crush froze. Went to reset and it asked for pass code. I entered standard code and it stated one failed attempt. I may be over 70 years of age but have not forgotten pass code!! I hope that the solution is simple!!
If your iPad was used by another person in the past, it may be asking for their passcode.
If your iPad has been synced with a computer before, restoring with your computer should fix it now.
Read all directions.

I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player. It says I need ios 4.3. I keep getting a message saying I can download ios 6.? but that it will wipe everything off my ipod. Is there any way to get the ios without wiping out my files?
There is no supported method to "downgrade" iOS on any device. If you update, you will get the latest iOS for your device, which will be iOS 6.1.3. You cannot go backwards to iOS 4.3
If you have never backed up in either iCloud or iTunes, then upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 will involve restoring your device as part of the upgrade. Without a backup to restore from, you will loose everything that is on it.
You should first connect to iTunes with your computer, sync your device without upgrading and create an up to date backup of everything. Then use the upgrade option in iTunes to update your iOS.
However, if the dock device strictly requires iOS 4.3, it will not work, as you cannot downgrade iOS. There simply is no mechanism from Apple to do that. -

I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?
I fixed it!!
While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new. -
I just bought a new iPad 2. It says I need to update the software but it keeps failing., I just bought a new iPad 2. It says I need to update the software but it keeps failing.
Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

I have just added a time machine to my iMac and it is saying it will take 11 days to do the first back up. Any ideas? It is only 355GB but is being backed up wirelessly but 11 days?
Help.Hi lajetidreaming, I'm in the same boat; "See you in 8 days".
As LaPastenague says, use an ethernetcable for the initial backup.
And I will add; Since TimeMachine don't accept any interruptions during the initial backup, make a small backup first. That is - exclude a number of 'secundary' folders like music etc.
When you have one backup completed, TimeMachine is much more forgiving about interrupts, rebooting your Mac and so.
Good luck! -
yesterday for the first time i turned on my macpro 2011 model and i got a crazy gray screen with lines all over it ,so i held down the power button and turn off then restarted and all was ok could someone help me with this,what caused this shut down. werd
Are the lines like psychedelic herringbone? If yes, I had that happen once, it was something serious, like the
Logic board. The good news is that it was fixed without any loss of data on the hard drive. Take it in to have Apple look at it ASAP. I took it to TekServe at the time, they are very nice about preserving your data and user library when possible.
Good luck and don't panic. -
My laptop had water spilled on it 3 days ago, I let it sit as instructed by best buy . I am on it right now but the mouse movement isn't smooth anymore and it is slower. The first time I turned it on it didn't respond at all,can anyone tell how bad the damage really is without actually seeing it ? Do you think maybe it will be just a simple repair or am I looking at a whole new logic board?
Until you take it in so that a technician can look at it, it is all guessing and nothing more.

JUST BOUGHT AN IPOD MINI - TROUBLE LOADING SOFTWARE
I JUST GOT AN IPOD MINI AND I AM TRYING TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FOR PC - IT HAS BEEN RESETING THE IPOD FOR HOURS NOW. THERE ARE NO ERROR MESSAGES BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL.
Maria,
First of all, turn off the caps lock. Posting in caps is considered shouting, and is also more difficult to read.
Formatting the iPod shouldnt take any longer than a few minutes.
Try this instead of using the supplied installation CD.
Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.
If it gets stuck, try clicking on the little x in the top corner, which might take you to the next stage in the process.
If this doesnt work, shut down the computer, disconnect the iPod, restart the computer, run the updater again, and connect the iPod when prompted. -
My phone got locked even though i didnt put a passcode on it what can i do to unlock it?
Hi I am not at the setup stage once the soft wear was updated I was never able to enter into my I pad due to the pass code needing to be entered.

if anybody can help i would appriecent it cause earlier this morning a deaf guy came across my phone and got access to it so i changed it a few times till i decided to create a hard password that nobody cant remember but since i was being a dumbasss for it i guess its my fault
LOST PASSCODE
You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
Otherwise read this
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
Enter Wrong passcode

Apple ID is a random person's ID. I hit cancel and a new ID pops up. This happens 5 times in a row.
Later the same thing happens with the same 5 apple ID's.
I have erased the Apple ID and entered my ID and Password but I still get the pop ups.
I have entered my Apple ID and password everywhere I can think of.
How do I solve this issue?Did you purchase this phone new, or is it a used device? It sounds as if it is asking for the Apple ID and password for the original owner. See this support link about Activation Lock, Apple's anti-theft device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

Ask for pass code before turning it off?
I iPhone would ask us for the pass code before we can turn it off, if it's stolen people that have it will be unable to turn it off so we can find it using find my iPhone.

For one thing, it would create a fire and safety hazard if the phone were to be physically damaged and could not be powered off.
The power off function is not truly a power switch. It is merely a signal to the electronics to power down the device which even then is not a full power down. There is still some power consumed as when you push this "soft" button again for several seconds the device will power up. There is no true power removal switch on the phone. Your argument about removing power is moot. With a soft power on/off switch if the product is damaged the power off/on function is probably not going to work. As such there are no regulatory requirements as the device is operated by low voltage batteries, not household mains. Big difference.
