How do you do a reset of the iPhone when ive forgotten 4 digit code for restrictions?

I gave my mum my old original iPhone 3 and set restrictions so she was unable to add or remove apps. I have forgot the 4 digit pin! I have tried to do a full reset of the phone but it still asks for the pin. I'v also tried to resolve with iTunes, and its not allowing me to add or remove apps from there or resest the phone. HELP!! I do have the 4 digit security code to unlock the phone. It asks for this first in the reset but then asks for the other which I have forgot.
I've had 34 failed attempts and can now only try a new one every hour.

To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...

HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro?
Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there. I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc... Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs. I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud. So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!). How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs?

I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

On Ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the iPhone

on ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the phone

i think i stumbled onto a solution.
the upgrade to os7 brought a bunch of music into my phone i didn't care to hear anymore.
(free downloads from the itunes twitter feed..some of them are good, most of them i normally delete immediately)
i had 3 pesky songs that would not allow me to delete.
every other song in my library gave me the option to delete, just not the ones i never wanted to hear again.
..super frustrating when the song keeps starting over everytime you touch it while scrambling for a delete option.
they were purchases which i'd hidden.
i plugged to computer and tried to use iTunes to delete but they did not appear.
all "show all" options for music and video were off.
itunes match was off.
all automatic downloads were off.
"show all music" was off.
i logged out of my apple ID for several minutes.
i think this may have given time for my account to resynchronize the items i didn't want to see anymore.
i've logged back in and they're still gone.
i don't care if i hear a new eric clapton song again for the rest of the year thank you.

Hi martithe_t,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Tap the Music app.
Tap the Songs category.
Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
Apple - iTunes - Match
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
Cheers,

How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

Thank you for replying!
That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!

How do you get it to show the temperature when you scroll down?

On some some IDevices I see when you scroll down, it shows the temperature and the date. But on my iPad mini when I scroll down, it just shows the day. But at the bottom it says, " weather information provided by yahoo" I have yahoo weather installed. How do I get it to show the temperature too? Thanks.

Settings->Privacy->Location Services->Weather-> Turn it on.
It will show your current locations weather. Note that it uses GPS and internet access. so it may use your Cellular Data and battery.

How do you remove photos from the iphone 4s ?

Hi captoz379,
In order to delete music videos from an iPhone. Simply access the "Videos" application and swipe from right to left on the video that you are attempting to delete. The red 'delete' button should appear. Once it does, tap it to delete the selected video.
I hope this helps.

How do you add a "Group" on the iPhone

I can't figure out how to add a new "Group to the "Contacts".
Please help.

You should probably leave feedback with Apple, asking them to add that feature (I completely agree that it is completely lame that there is no group edit support on the phone!)

How do you set up email on the iPhone?

Updated my iPhone from a 4 to a 4S. I restored from back up but now having a problem with my email where I can receive emails but can't send. When I attempt to send, I get the message "Cannot Send Mail — The user name or password for "SMTP:(my email address)@smtpauth.earthlink.net" is incorrect."
I use the password I've always used to get access to the server via webmail, but this doesn't seem to work. Is there some other credential form I should be using?
Thanks Apple Community for your help.
-Steve

If you start sending an email, then cancel and save it, the iPhone will create a Drafts folder for you. When you send an email, it will create a Sent folder.
There is no way for you to create any other folder other than Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash. If you use an IMAP account, you can create folders on your IMAP server, and those will replicate down to your iPhone.

HT201272 I see that new 11.0.4 Itunes has issues? How do you get your itunes on the iphone 5?

Tried getting some help earlier today but didn't have much luck. Some apple gooroos couldn't understand why I can't get my Itunes on my new Iphone 5 (replacement for the one my wife put in the washing machine). I sensed some frustration from those who could not help. Perhaps this new version of Itunes may be the problem? For those of you who were not involved earlier, my new phone will not pick up my itunes. Yes I am under the 5 unit limit, yes I have synced with I cloud, yes my new device is set up for auto download for music, yes I have tried syncing with my mac and my Itunes page.   Nothing works, not even a new song purchase. I can see the music, just cant get it to go to music so I can listen to it.

I think there is a misconception here. You need to sign into your iPHone with the same Apple ID as you used for the purchases on your computer. Then you should see the past purchased content on your iPhone to redownload.

HT4528 how can you recover deleted photos from the iPhone hard drive?

Is there anyway possible i can recover my deleted photos from my iphone hard drive for free?

You can't for two reasons: First, the iPhone doesn't have a hard drive. Second, there is no Trash folder, so once something is deleted it is gone forever. If you were foresighted enough to sync your phone regularly the photos should still be in the app you used for managing photos from digital cameras on your computer, and they are also in the iPhone backup on your computer. If you enabled Photo Stream they are also in iCloud. But if you didn't take advantage of any of these backup options you are out of luck.

How do you mass-delete pictures on the iPhone?

I was trying to highlight the pictures in iPhoto and delete it but the right click menu is all greyed out.
I know there is the option to delete the pictures after you import it but i want to keep the movie files and delete just the pictures (I already imported but there was an error when I was clicked on 'delete imported pictures')

On your Mac, alt/command and select all the pictures to remove.
On the left pane, select one and drag it to the Trash can on there.
You may need to hold the command button while dragging to trash.
Some have been having the import video files to iPhoto and suggested going into the camera roll and be sure it's set to the photo slide versus camcorder.
