  • How do I get my iPad unlocked when iTunes doesn't work to restore? Thanks!

    My iPad is disabled due to me not remembering the passcode and attempting too many wrong guesses. I have gone through the "restore device" procedure on iTunes but I get error messages that my device is not eligible. How do I get my iPad unlocked? Thanks!

    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • How do I get my iPad to open to the lock screen and NOT the passcode panel when I open my cover

    When I open the cover to my iPad Air it is open to the 4digit passcode screen and NOT my lock screen with the date and time. When I go to settings under Touch ID and passcode I see 'require passcode' immediately with a check near it.  When I click on that and try to UNcheck it, nothing happens.  How do I get my iPad to open to the lock screen

  • How do I restore my old iPhone4 when I forgot my password and iCloud is still on?

    Hello Everybody.
    Recently I found my old iPhone 4 that i haven't used in quite a while. I locked the phone initially so that my sister would not find any of my old text messages and then left it in one of my drawers for a while. After I found it again the other day, I decided to reuse it since I am going to a concert on the 29th of this month and want to use it to take photos and videos. I plugged it in the charger and waited until it was 100%, and then plugged it into iTunes. I realised I forgot my password for the phone, which was fine as I wanted to erase all of my old content. When I clicked restore on iTunes it said that Find My iPhone was still on for my phone and that I had to go on iCloud to turn it off. Of course this was no problem until I found out I had a different account than I did 2 years ago, as I forgot my password and made a new account. Obviously you can tell I don't have a very good memory.
    I would like to know how to restore my iPhone before the concert so I can use it. I have a feeling my phone will run out of battery and I want to be sure I can take as many photos and videos as I can. If anybody could help that would be great

    Click here, or contact Apple’s Account Security team, or if you're the device’s original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

  • How do I get my iPad to show iMessages from my iPhone, and vice versa?

    My iPad used to show the same iMessages as on my iPhone, and vice versa...and now it doesn't.  I don't know whether it was an iOS upgrade that fouled it up or what, but I'd like to restore the convenience of seeing and responding to iMessages on either device.  They both send and receive iMessages, but one begun on one device does not appear on the other.

  • How do I get on my iPhone if I forgot the password?

    Just the password to get into the phone.

    You must not own an iOS device. It makes you enter the password before you can reset all settings. Afterwards you do not have a passcode. Please do not post fictitious information on these forums.
    Don't post irrelevant information either.
    If I know the PASSCODE for the device, then I can use the PASSCODE to get into the iPhone, then go to Settings > General > Passcode, enter the SAME PASSCODE again, and disable the PASSCODE or change it.
    To Reset All Settings, you have to enter the PASSCODE (as well as the RESTRICTIONS PASSCODE if you have one).
    In order to use the method you've described to reset the PASSCODE, you have to KNOW the PASSCODE to do so.  If the goal is to simply change the PASSCODE, then the first method I described is far easier, faster, and does not affect anything else on the device.
    If you do not know the PASSCODE, as the OP described, then your method is totally and completely useless.
    There is no Reset on the iPhone that resets the PASSCODE which does not require that you already KNOW the PASSCODE.
    You cannot Reset the PASSCODE on an iPhone without knowing the PASSCODE.  You have to use recovery mode or a Remote Wipe via Find My iPhone.

  • How can I get my phone unlocked if I am after emigrating and haven't topped up my phone in a year?

    Hi I moved to New Zealand and brought my Meteor Nokia Lumia phone over with me.  I couldn't get it to work here and bought a cheap phone to get me by. I loved my Nokia Lumia though and am trying to get it unlocked.  My sister recently came over on holidays and wasn't able to use hers either but rang home and got it unlocked. I have tried to get it unlocked it but is it very expensive and you might as well get a new phone.  I have rang home but Meteor told me they can't as I haven't topped up the phone in over a year. Does anybody have any advice without it costing a bomb.  All of our savings are gone emigrating and just hope someone would know how we can do this  or Meteor might have pity on us? Thank you  Lorraine

    Meteor are a commercial company and don't do pity.I had a similar issue in New Zealand working there for 6 months where despite my phone being an Irish one and unlocked, It was still regionally locked by Huawei (European) and couldn't be unlocked to Vodafone NZ. NZ is full of Asians plus Asian phone stores, you might try them to see if they can unlock it... The cheapest option for me was to buy a local PAYG phone.

  • How do i get into my ipod if i forgot my password

    I forgot my ipod password, but i dont want to lose everything on it. What do i do?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see the following. If you could not backup as indicated in the first part of my reply then you will have to restore from a existing backup. that is the only way. The screen-lock passcode is a security feature.
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army).   I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

    Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number?  Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc

  • How do I get my iPad to work. It won't slide to unlock

    How do I get my iPad to work. It won't slide to unlock

    Push harder! 
    Seriously...
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
