Help!  Is there any way to undo a passcode for restrictions if I've stupidly forgotten it?

I need help!  I put a passcode for Restrictions on my son's iPod Touch, and I've forgotten it!  He is unable to get to the App store for updates or to buy anything.  He is so upset with me!  Is there any way to get around this?  We are up to 8 failed attempts, and each time it blocks any more attempts to try for longer and longer time periods.  He has games saved that he'll kill me if he has to start over on, so going back to default is not an option.  Please help!

If you are up to it see the following. It is complicated but does not required restoring as new.

  • Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled. As most of these are classical, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time. Can I restore them to the original albums?

    Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled into individual 'songs'. As most of these are classical and folk, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time (ie, a movement from Beethoven's 5th symphony followed by a folk song followed by one excerpt from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. Can I restore them all to the original albums and make sure the shuffle doesn't happen again?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! That has worked, but only partially - there are still some Beethovens mixed in with the Vivaldis. I'm sure I installed these as total albums.
    I have noticed that too from time to time, I generally move the files into the correct folder and fix the index in itunes when one won't open, occasionally.

  • Help on Help - is there any way to code "\n" on help information

    I'd like to be able to format the help information by adding newlines as well as forcing it to appear at a certain column
    I'd like to put a "\n" in my help; is there any way to do so?
    I also notice that when you have multiple dictionaries in 1 AFC, the help information is pre-determined based off of some criteria, and some dictionaries have their help aligned on 1 column, while another dictionary has their help aligned on another. This looks very unsightly to a user who doesn't 'see' the different dictionaries. How can we intentionally adjust these help margins?
    And is there a way to play with the margins for the prompts as well? some of my labels are very long and when they wrap, especially if I've used &nbsp, the first line is indented, but all subsequent lines go back to the same margin and it looks quite bad.

    I haven't found a way to make the help text from different dictionaries  line up.  One workaround is to set the field display width the same for  the fields in both dictionaries.  The help is lined up with the longest  field in each dictionary.  As for the new line in the help text, the  help text is HTML, so a break tag "
    " will create a new line.   You can put any valid HTML in the help text and it will be rendered.

  • Is there any way to undo Time Machine formatting?

    Within 20 minutes of becoming a proud iMac owner for the first time I think I have made a serious mistake
    I have two external hard drives, a 1TB Seagate that I wanted to use as my Time Machine back-up drive, and a 500MB WD drive that I had various files on that i wanted to copy to my iMac.
    I had both drives connected through USB and when I went through set-up I selected the Time Machine option for the Seagate drive.  I certainly don't recall my WD drive being mentioned at any point in the process, however when I look at the WD drive it now shows as 'Time Machine Backups', as does my Seagate drive, so it appears both drives were re-formatted.
    Is there any way to undo this or will I need to look at data recovery software?

    It sounds like you got this prompt:
    And clicked Use as Backup Disk.  Then got this:

  • Is there any way to create a reminder for "today"?

    Is there any way to create a reminder for "today" in the new Reminders app? I used to be able to pull up the "today" list and add things that would go to my default list but automatically show up for today but now it looks as though that option is gone.  Additionally, any way to get dates/times to show up with reminders in the Notification Center?

    Hey chewie314,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like you might be looking for the "Scheduled" view. This view will show all of your reminders that are scheduled in a list. To access the schedule view, click the icon:

  • Is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera?

    I'm sure someone else has probably already asked this, but is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera? The resolution is horrible.

    Welcome to  Discussions, Prissymissysays
    The last Apple-published resolution data I saw said that iSight's resolution is 640x480 VGA. I do not know of any way to change iSight's resolution, but that level is plenty of quality for my webcam needs.
    The software you use to operate your iSight controls it, so specific answers will depend on what software you are using when you need more resolution. Check Help in that application to see if it can change iSight's resolution.
    Some software, such as Apple's QuickTime 7 Pro allow you to change iSight's video quality and compression level with its QuickTime Player > Preferences > Recording > Quality: setting. You can add iGlasses software to manually override some iSight settings that are otherwise controlled automatically by the software using iSight. However, I do not think either of these options really changes iSight's resolution.
    Check whether your iSight's lens cover has fingerprints or smudges on it. Then check iSight's image quality of your face in full sunlight about two feet from the lens. Best image quality requires more light than what most people would consider normal room lighting.
    If you are still having problems, consider the applicable suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    If you need better resolution than iSight can deliver for some special imaging requirement such as close-up or high-accuracy images, you may need to consider using a different camera that better meets your special needs.

  • Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

    I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release.  Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
    Now Pages will open these files.  Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages? 
    (Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

    Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

    Is there any way to create a book for ibookstore in windows pc?

    Yes, you create in the .epub format with whatever Windows app you want to use for that and then use an Aggregator like SmashWords to upload the book to the iBookstore.  Direct upload is only possible from OS X.

  • Is there any way I can get IDVD for my new IMac?

    Is there any way I can get IDVD for my new IMac?

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    Is there any way to enlarge the font for the panels in Bridge? Either CC or CS6?

    To change the default message font, use UIManager:   UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageFont",
          new Font("Lucida Console", Font.PLAIN, 12)); Per-instance, use HTML:   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(

  • Is there any way to disable update check for a specific add-on?

    There are a few add-ons I have problems with their latest versions. So i don't want to update them. But everytime there are any updates for other add-ons they also appear and need to be unchecked. Is there any way to disable update just for them permanently?

    Yes, but it is not straightforward. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Updating_add-ons Updating add-ons - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

  • Is there any way to keep vibrating ON for calls on...

    I have nokia asha 302
    My query is i cannot select vibrate alert ON for receiving calls alone, i noticed that turning on or off for vibrate is common for both calls and messaging. is there any way to keep vibrating ON for calls only and not for messages  please advise me on this issue. Even if i turn OFF for Message option the phone still vibrates when receiving SMS , atleast is there a update for this option to select separate vibrate option for both calls and messaging.. This is weird
    Moderator's note: Subject was amended as the post was moved to a more appropriate board.

    Haven't seen anything like that in any S40 phone. So I don't think its ever possible. It will either vibrate for everything or nothing.
