Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How do you reset a forgotten passcode on an Airport Express?

How do you reset a forgotten passcode on an Airport Express? I cannot find where I saved the passcode and need to add a new non-Apple device to the network. I'm guessing that I will have to reset it and setup the network again, but do I unplug the network cable before or after pushing the reset button?

You can put the Express in "soft reset" mode by depressing its reset pushbutton momentarily - about one second. This will lower its shields for two minutes, long enough for you to use AirPort Utility to reset its wireless network password. There is no need to disconnect any cables when you do this.
Or, you can retrieve your existing wireless network password from a Mac you normally use on that network.
Read the following to determine how to retrieve your password from Keychain:
Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password"not "AirPort network password".
Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
You will get the following window:
In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
Make note of it.
Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

HT201274 how can i retrieve my restrictions passcode? i cannot unlock my phone if cannot log-in my restrictions passcode

how can i retrieve my "restrictions passcode"? i cannot proceed to unlock my iphone 4 if cannot supply the restrictions code.
thanks!

You can not do so. If you can't remember it, you will need to put the phone in DFU mode (google for instructions) and restore it as a new device. Do not restore your backup. The backup contains the restriction settings.

How can i retrieve my restrictions passcodes on my 3 apple devices without have to restore them to the factory settings?

I have 3 apple devices an IPad Air/ iPhone5 and iphone4s they all currently running the IOS 8.3 and my question is:
How can I retrieve the restrictions passcodes in all of them without have to restore them all back to the factory settings ?
I have all the backups in my Icloud , but if I do that they all will come back to the same settings I have now which includes the same passcodes I don't remember. I had all my passwords and passcodes saved before, but I cant find them.
looking forward to hear from one of you out there...
Thank you!

There's no way around restoring the device as new if you cannot remember your restrictions password. If there were, it would make having a restriction password useless.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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 cancelling 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.

How can I retrieve all my deleted history calls in iPhone 4S?

How can I retrieve all my deleted history calls in iPhone 4S?

Hi janet@felsted,
To recover deleted data on an iPhone, users normally just perform an iPhone restore in iTunes or iCloud, restoring the device to how to was at the time of that backup.
If you don't have a backup to recover from, or you wish to retrieve your deleted call history for legal reasons or to save and refer to later, you can use smartphone recovery software to recover all deleted calls contained on your iPhone's database.

How can I retrieve a forgotten Game Center account?

I have a Clash of Clans account and I'm playing it for about 2 years. It was level 97 and it's currently in town hall 9. I'm afraid that I will lost my game if my phone gets broken. That's why I want my account to be linked to a different device, but I can't do it because it's asking me to log in first to my Game Center account. How can I retrieve my Game Center account? I just changed my Apple I.D. when Apple updated it's IOS to IOS 8, because it required me to do so. But when I wanted to log in my Game Center account it asks me to log in in my game, but it kept on saying that my game is already attached in another Game Center account. What am I suppose to do? Please help me. I don't want to lost my game that I played for years now.

Howdy kanereyes,
In order to use the Game Center settings and progress from that game, you will need to log in to the Game Center account you have been using with it. You can change Game Center accounts on any device using the steps in this article -
Using Game Center on your Mac or iOS device - Apple Support
Specifically -
Sign in to Game Center
Open Game Center and sign in using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID, select Create New Apple ID. If you need to sign in with a different Apple ID, follow these steps:
iOS: Go to Settings and tap Game Center > Apple ID > Sign Out.
OS X: Go to the Me tab and click Account > Sign Out.
When you sign in with a different Apple ID, you'll see different scores, achievements, and friends.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I accidently hit "forget about this site" in my history, and it deleted all related sites to it. i desperately need to get them back. how do i retrieve the forgotten or deleted sites from history in firefox4 ?

i use the firefox4, and when i went to my history, i right clicked to delete a certain site, and accidentally hit the last option; (forget about this site) which deleted all the similar sites to the one i clicked! i.e. if it were facebook site, all facebook sites were gone..
'''how do i retrieve the sites i lost in history?'''

Tony, thnx for the prompt response,,
however, i didn't delete. i hit the below option which reads; "forget about this site" which is the last item in the list that appears when you right click any site in history.
i was told there are open source programs that can retrieve it.
'''how sure r u that they cannot be recovered?!'''

How can you retrieve a forgotten game center password?

I need help! My 8-year-old son set-up his own separate account/nickname for Game Center. Now he can't recall his password. Because he is so young, his account had to be piggy-backed with an adult's account. How can I retrieve his password? He's very upset at the prospect of having to start all hs games over.
He had a nickname, too.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums! This is your first question, right?
Game Center isn't needed for any of your son's games to work. I don't think a 8 year old needs leaderboards or achievements. You can play without GC, but you can also try this approach by Cosmic Ray. Read the full discussion with the link below.
Hello everyone. I was having the exact same problem. Forgot my password and was unable to sign back into my Game Center account. I just figured out how to get back on, using the same Apple ID.
On Game Center sign in screen, just click "Create New Account." I entered the exact same email that I had used before, and same personal information. It alerted me that the email address was already in the system and if I wanted to use this again. I clicked "yes." After clicking the "Agree" button, my previous Apple ID was active again and I was able to sign in.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Any iTunes content that is downloaded by your iPhone including 3rd party apps should be transferred to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes on your computer after doing so. All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
