Hi, I recently left my iPhone at the bank and thought I´d lost it, so I went on line and blocked it. Now that I have it back it tells me that it is disabled and that I need to connect it to iTunes. When I do that iTunes is asking me for a code.
I appreciate anyone guiding me on how to get that code.
The code is the same code you use when you turn on your phone. If you don't remember it, you'll have to try and restore from the computer to which you last synched.

Hi Cecilie1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues with photo rotation, you may want to make sure that your iPhone is detecting the orientation when you take the photos. In iOS 7 and iOS 8, the top menu text when taking a photo should rotate to show orientation (the bottom menu stays oriented to the shutter button). You can see these menus on the following page:
Camera at a glance - iPhone
If your iPhone isn't sensing rotation for pictures, you may want to check to see if the Rotation Lock is engaged, as noted here:
If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Today was my ipod disabled. it says I need to connect to iTunes, but when I connect it brings up an error message that says I have to enter code but my problem is that I forgot the code!!!!
Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.

If not successful, try DFU mode.

i already tried holding the power button and the home button for 20 seconds, recharging it for a day, letting it cool off, hooking it up to a computer, and still nothing
I had this problem, too. I left my iPhone in the car for an hour and it got too hot. Got the yellow triangle on my screen warning that the temperature was too high. The phone was dead. So, I let the phone cool down for a couple of hours, then I plugged it into my MacBook Pro and held down the iPhone's power button and home button together for 20 seconds, and fixed the problem. Hooray!

i recently brought an iPhone 5 from a person and their apple id is still on the phone i for got my passcode and locked the phone up. I factory restored the phone and i still need their id to unlock it. how can i bypass the unlock activation
You can't. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with proof that the registered owner is dead.

My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating. When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times. I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either. If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated. Can anyone assist please?
- Try a reset. It cures amny ills
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I recently updated my iPhone to IOS 8 and it said I need the latest version of iTunes to sync and back up however my computer won't allow it what do I do !?? Anything helps!!!
If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

Hi mopster555,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are not receiving messages on two iOS devices. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

I recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS and it no longer works with my inbuilt car bluetooth. Is it possible to restore to my previous iOS system?
Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS. -
I updated my iPhone software and now it is saying that I need to connect it to iTunes. I no longer have my computer with my iTunes on it. What can I do? I really don't want to lose my data! I wouldn't have updated if I had known but there was no warning.

i need help! i am trying to update iphoto on my macbook pro that i had bought from someone else. although i am signed into my account when trying to update it is asking me for the previous owners account details and it wont let me change it to my details how can i solve this problem please.
thank you
Jan RobinsonThat's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset. is there anything i can do to fix this or am i screwed?
If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

My iPhone is FULL, no memory left for photos. If I move all my photos off my iPhone, will the 'ALBUMS' and their content (pics) be blown away ? Also, what is the BEST way to clear/save photos off my iPhone ? PC, ITunes, some other app ?
I use an app called FileApp to transfer photos to my PC - I can then selectively delete photos from my iPhone and still have them on my PC - just download the app to your iPhone and follow the instructions for the accompanying program for your PC - then use your iPhone cable to connect - iTunes will also start up so just close it and you will see the iPhone storage as a drive - go the DCIM folder and open the device folder and you will see your photos.
