How do i undisable my iphone if its never been synced to a computer

You need to connect it to iTunes on a computer and restore it. If you have a backup in iCloud, you can restore using that backup. If you don't, then all your data and settings will be lost, though you can get back your apps, and depending on your country perhaps your purchased content, from the iTunes Store.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • DeSync My Iphone which has never been synced

    I recently upgraded to an iPhone5 and restored my phone using iCloud. Having never plugged my device into a computer I went to copy some movies onto it from my computer to be told that my current device is synced with another PC (I assume the iCloud sync has remembered my old phone was synced once to copy some apps onto it 2 years ago). I dont want to have my phone synced with any PC as with my other two devices so I can copy my movies from any of the computers I have at home (Combination of Windows 7 & Mac computers) as per my other two devices.
    Does anyone know of a way of desyncing my iphone from all computers so I can use it in the same way as my other two devices where I drag and drop any movie I want to have on my device through itunes and it copies it on for me? This should be simple im sure but having spent over an hour on the phone with apple where the first two support agents were very helpful but third was not at all, so im hoping someone may know a way. The biggest issue I have is if I tick the box to manually manage I get a message saying all movies will be deleted (there werent any on there so this is fine) but when I hit apply it then SYNC's with that PC which is not what I want. At the minute Im getting to the point where I think i may have to not restore from iCloud and set the phone up as a whole new phone which is annoying as I will have to spend hours setting it up again which is what the iCloud was meant to get around.
    All comments welcome

    You can't. She must do that on her computer, not yours. You cannot restore her data either.

  • How can i delete a photo album that has been synced from another computer

    I am trying to delete a photo album that I do not need anymore from an iPad 4. But the album has been synced from a computer that I don't have access to anymore. Is there anyway around this ?

    Photos that were synced from a computer can only be deleted by connecting to a computer's iTunes and changing the sync selection on the device's Photos tab.
    Is that the only album that was synced from that computer (and you now sync the iPad to a different computer ?), or do you have other albums from it that you want to keep on the iPad ? If you want to keep one or more albums on it then they will need to be on the computer that you sync to so that they can be selected on the Photos tab and re-copied to the iPad from that computer. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder

    Assuming you haven't taken up too much memory from apps to hold the 11 gigs of music...
    After you plug in your iPhone, go to the music tab. Make sure you have it set to sync all music.
    If apps/books/etc. leave you with less than 11 gig of space for you music, make playlists and sync those instead

    how can i unlink an iphone from its previous users email so i can turn it on to my own email address, also i cant get in contact with the previous owner

    If you are referring to Activation Lock, the password for the Apple ID signed into the device is required, there is no way around this.  If you do not have the information and cannot contact the previous owner, the device is useless.
