    need to unlock my iphone

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync 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:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. 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.
         7. 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).
         8. 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."
         9. 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.
         1. 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.
         2. 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.
         3. 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.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. 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.

  • Need your help I am color blind and need help ASAP

    I am color blind and need help with this issue. I have the 8520 and t-mobile service. I went to the accessibility wizard and chose the reverse color mode. That is black background with white font. Here starts the problem when you select this option it changes your photos into negatives and also changes the home screen to bright gray . I can not see these colors. What I need is almost like looking at old DOS font Black backgrounds with white or yellow fonts. I have been trying to find a theme but no luck.
    The option of reverse contrast would be great if it did not flip photos or the home screen.
    Can someone please help me
    I would be happy to talk to you in detail to better explain the problem.
    Thanks in advance
    TJ
    I posted t this message in the wrong area before. I hope this is the correct area.
    Mods please remove the message posted in the 8300 series area thanks TJ

    Just a follow up on this matter. I spent most of the day and a few hours at work on  this problem.
    I called T-mobile and was transfered to Blackberry support within T-mobile then to Blackberry RIM . They asked the same questions as everyone else said how much they wanted to help. After about an hour they gave up. They could find no apps or themes that are basic black with white font. The tech could not explain why the designers fell short with reverse contrast . I ask this question why would a programmer or anyone want to see all photos in negative media. I spoke with a local news station about this whole matter and they said give the store one more attempt to make it right. T-mobile said they would sell me another phone at a discount but would not take the Blackberry back because I was out of my7 14 day window. note I have been trying to fix this with T-mobile starting 12/04/09 when I bought the phone. So buyer beware....
    Back to the matter. a very simple fix could be done by BLACKBERRY  make a theme for the 8520 that is black background white font in all areas. Leave the internet as normal ie: browser let photos look like they should and sell the theme or app like everyone else.
    To be honest if I knew how to do it I would build it myself and give it away for free people need this type of theme.
    Thanks for reading my rant everyone.

  • Been given an iphone 4 by a friend and need to unlock so can use my own SIM

    I was given an iphone 4 by a friend but upon putting my SIM in, I realised he'd not unlocked the phone! He isn't able to unlock the phone via his contract (he has a new iphone) because the IMEI isn't showing on his account and it tries to unlock his current (in contract) phone. So, I've read and been told some conflicting advice. Another friend told me she had to pay Apple £50 at a store to unlock her iphone she bought secondhand that was locked. Some other forums are quoting £20+ to have it unlocked, and I've read elsewhere still, that it will cost £9. So I'm confused!! What's right?? Do I need to pay as it's an old phone, no longer on any contract, not registered anywhere (my friend who gave it to me couldn't find it on his account). Do I need to get an EE PAYG SIM and get the iphone registered to me? Will that work? Once I do that, and if I decide I want to go back to my current provider (Vodafone), can I simply request an unlock via the online forms? I shouldn't be tied in to a fixed term if i'm not a customer currently and I used a PAYG SIM, am I right? I'd appreciate some clarification please. It seems that both Apple and EE aren't the easist to get an unlock from! Never had an iphone before so had no idea it was like Fort Knox to get out of!! Thank you in advance - a newbie iphone owner and non EE customer

    It costs £8.99 to unlock a device from EE there are a number of options that you might be able to use to get your device unlocked.
    But first this.
    Only contract devices have to be used for 6 months first before requesting a unlock. PAYG, Sim only or secondhand devices this rule doesn't apply.
    1, If you still with EE/Orange/T-Mobile just fill out the unlocking request form with your details. Any phone that was replaced by insurance you will need to let EE know that it was a replacement device if your still in contract. You can also unlock an old device if you have a upgrade device on your account just fill out the request form with your details and the phone number you used with this device. It doesn't matter if you use this number on a new device now.
    2, If you already have an account with EE and you have brought/been given a 2nd hand device lock to EE and you would like it unlocked you just need to use your Sim card in the device so the IMEI number gets registered to your account. Once your account has the IMEI number on it you can the fill out the online unlock request form.
    3, If you have brought/been given a 2nd hand device and don't have a EE/Orange/T-Mobile account and you don't want to use the EE networks you need to get a PAYG SIM card and set up an account. Top-up the account to £8.99 to pay the unlock fee than fill out the online unlock request form.
    (If using a PAYG you must make sure that the £8.99 is on your account when EE take the payment if it's not your device will not get unlocked and EE will not inform you that the unlock request has failed. It's you job to make sure the cedit is there when EE go to take it they will not inform you when there going to take it)
    Or
    4, A non EE customer can take the device to your local EE store and request the unlock from there it will still cost £8.99 and it still takes 7 to 10 days
    5, If you would like a device unlocked and you are no longer with EE/Orange/T-Mobile just fill out the online unlock request form using the number that you used with that device on EE/Orange/T-Mobile. EE will unlock devices that are up to 10 years old that were used on their network. You will still be billed to unlock the device.
    6, If you have brought or thinking about buying a 2nd hand device and you are not in the UK you are going to find it very hard to get a device unlocked when you setup an account you need a UK address also you will need to get a PAYG SIM card but you will also need to find away of topping up the account with GBP, if you can not do any of this the device will not get unlocked there are no exceptions.

  • Photoshop locked in Leopard and unable to unlock

    Since upgrade to leopard I have been having issues opening files and applications, as they are locked. I go to the "Get Info" command in the finder and unlock the file using password etc. I do this by clicking on the padlock and after using my password the padlock opens, then when I go to open PS3 it says it is locked and when I go back in the padlock is locked again....Anyone have any idea how I can unlock this so I can use PS3 and Bridge.
    BTW, I was able to open Bridge, but it crashed and now it is locked and I cannot unlock it......
    Many thanks.

    Just EXACTLY what do you mean by "the applications itself is locked"? Do mean that when you do GetInfo on:
    "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Adobe Photoshop CS.app"
    there is a check mark in the GetInfo panel? And a lock icon on the application? In other words, does it look like this:
    http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/locked.jpg
    If it does, what happens when you click the box in front of locked? Actually, if the permissions show that you are the owner, and the group is staff, you shouldn't even have to click the padlock at the bottom. I can lock and unlock the application just by clicking on the box. If you can't, it makes me wonder just EXACTLY how you upgraded to Leopard. There can be a raft of very technical ownership/group problems, depending on what you did.

  • Help! I know nothing and need to get my info from my Curve onto my Pre

    Ok first off I know nothing so please don't use any techincal terms or assume that I know what an OS something is because I promise I don't.  What I need is to simplely get the info off my Blackberry Desktop Manager onto my new Palm Pre.  I've been at it for days and trying to decipher all the lingo on here and I guess I'm not smarter than a 5th grader because I can't figure it out.
    What I need to know is step by step instructions.  Don't tell me I can save 19.99 if I do certain steps myself because I really just want the easy way out.  Please people have pity on me - I can't even figure out my kids PS3.
    So I don't have anything important in Outlook or any other program than my Blackberry Desktop Manager.  I appreciate any help from those willing to help my lost self.  Thanks a bunch!

    In order to transfer your data to the PRE you will need to have your data in Outlook. Once you have your data in Outlook, you can use the Palm Data Transfer Assistant to transfer your data to the PRE.
    Here is an article on how to setup your Blackberry to sync with Outlook. If you have trouble with this, you will need to call Blackberry support for assistance.
    http://www.ehow.com/how_4502616_sync-outlook-blackberry-via-usb.html
    Once you have the data in Outlook, you can call Palm for setup assistance at the following number, 1-866-750-PALM.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

  • Help if you can, student and need phone now.

    Hi, yesterday morning when I unplugged my phone from the wall charger I noticed there were too small black oval shapes on the top center of my screen. Being late for school I didn't really mind it.. Through out the day do, it's as if it extended to my right side of the screen and to my left. There are still two black oval circles on the top, now one side of the screen flips from different colors and lines and the other flips from white to black. I can't see anything!!
    How can i fix this? Will blackberry cover me for this? I run my hand over the screen and I can't feel any scratches or bumps or marks. I dropped it once the first time I got it, but it was less than a foot, and nothing happened to it. I'm with telus and in canada.. Any and all help is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Sorry not to be understood.The poster cknelsen was telling you that your subject line "Need help if you can." is not going to draw the attention of people who may be able to answer your questions. It does not tell the viewer anything. Only someone who is curious and has time on his hands will look at your question.
    Your initial post did not really describe the problem and your question. You don't provide the reader with specifics.
    I am explaining what I think cknelsen meant because we probably is trying to be helpful but the language barrier is getting in the way.
    I suggest you read the link. Be more specific in telling the reader what you need help with. Repost your question with a subject like "Need help with modifications to a BufferedImage object".
    Good luck

  • Help! Intalled i tunes and need help with syncing

    I have successfully installed iTunes on my compaq cpu (windows xp) and have purchased a couple of audio books. However, when I plug in my Sony MP3 playing to my CPU via the USB cord. My MP3 player icon does not show up on my items tool bar so I am unable to sync it. How do I create the connection between my MP3 player and itunes?
    Hope I am making sense! any help would be appreciated..
    FP

    iTunes for Windows is only compatible with the iPod/iPhone range and the iTunes enabled phones from Motorola. You may be able to get your player working with the aid of a third party helper program. Have a look at this one and see what you think: iTunes Agent -Windows
    If your player supports drag and drop through Windows Explorer you can drag tracks from the iTunes Music folder rather than through the iTunes interface. Also remember that many players will not work with AAC (MP4) format at present so if you imported anything from CD into iTunes using the AAc encoder then they will need to be converted to MP3: How to convert a song to a different format

  • Help! Having Serious Issues and need to save my data!!!

    This is probably going to be a long post, and I apologie in advance, but before I give up completely, I need to see if there's anything that I can do to save the data on my computer. Also, I'm writing this from work and don't have access to the system right now, so I'm going to have to rely on my questionable memory to relay the situation.
    Since the battery update was installed, I was having intermittent issues with my MBP battery - when I was fully charged, it only showed about 1:45 of time left (down from a usual 3:00 or so). When it would get down to about 50 minutes left, the system would shut off with no warning. I was about to take the system into the Apple Store to get the battery replaced last week, but just to make sure, I followed the instructions to reset the battery and after that was done, it seemed like the battery was fine (showed up as about 3:00 fully charged). But... the system started working very slowly.
    As a result, I decided to try to back up the system (I use SuperDuper and backup to an external USB drive). The backup failed mid-stream and my backup file was now useless (that's the last time I use the erase before backing up option). So now I don't have a backup of my data (all of my data is on that laptop).
    I tried running Disk Utility, by booting from the installation DVD, to Repair the disk and it stopped with an invalid node error. I tried again, but no joy. A third time, it appears to have completed. However, now when I boot the system, not only is it really slow, but it boots into some unfamiliar linux prompt ("I don't have a name#:", or something like that.
    Since I still think that there was a file system problem, I bought a copy of DiskWarrior 4. However, I don't want to wait for the bootable CD, so I tried to install the OS on the external USB drive so I could run it from there. Everytime I tried to install to the USB drive, I got a kernel panic when the IT Tunes install script was loaded. Every time. I tried removing the second (add-on) RAM stick, removing the battery, etc. No joy. Finally on about the 10th attempt, this time on battery power only (no power cable connected), I managed to get the OS to install on the USB drive.
    Okay, so now I can boot to the USB drive. I installed Disk Warrior 4 and ran it on the internal hard drive. Kernel Panic. Every time I've run it (error is about unlocking mutex). Even more frustrated now, I tried to backup the disk again (since all my data is on there, I can't afford to lose any of it). No joy. The backup (using SuperDuper or CloneCopyX) fails at various spots. I have some folders on the drive that I tried to copy off (about 7GB) that contain disk images and the like. That copy failed.
    So now, I have un-backupable (is that a word) hard drive that I can't repair without kernel panics (although, now as I write this, I didn't try DW without the power cord). And what I need to know is if anyone can think of anything that I haven't tried to save my user data off of the system before I have to take it in to the Apple Store and potentially lose everything that's on it.
    My number 1 concern right now is losing the data on the drive.
    Can anyone help me at all?
    Again, sorry for the long post...
    Thanks!

    You may not have the luxury of having another Mac but you must know someone who does. You need to boot your Mac into target disk mode. This is going to be your best bet as far as saving your files. Keep in mind that everytime you mess with this computer you are further endangering your data. Also, once your Mac is booted as a target disk, it may be possible to mount it on a windoze computer just to copy your files to another drive. I used to have one here and if i still did I would try this for you but I "offed" it in favor on running windoze (Parallels) on my MBP. But, one way or another, you need to get next to another computer.

  • Using Find My iPhone, how do I see numbers of devices registered (instead of just iphone) - have a few devices and need to deactivate the right one

    When using Find my iPhone, can't see the detail of my devices - just ip[hone or ipad - I have a couple of iphones, one missing, and can figure out which one to deactivate.
    Is there no way to identify devices from each other?
    Can't find any help in icloud either.

    What ever device you still have on had.  Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
