How to reseet restriction passcode? I don't think I have set it.

It looks like iphone passcode and restriction passcode are different. I have not set the restriction passcode before. How do I reset it w/o re-intall the software?

It depends.  If you haven't ever set it, when you go into restrictions it will prompt you for a password.  At the top of the screen, it will say "Set a Restrictions Passcode".  You can then enter a 4-digit number (make sure what you are entering and writing it down).  It will then prompt you to enter it again.  Once you've done that, you can enable and disable restrictions.
Later on, if you disable restrictions, you will be back at square one and can re-create a new passcode. 
However, if you've set it, or for some strange reason iOS 5 or someone else set it, you're stuck.  Look for this thread for ideas and frustrations.  The solutions there do not work for iOS 5.   https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2667637?start=0&tstart=0

  • I haven't used my desktop iMac in a long time and can't get pass the opening login...I thought I remembered my password, but, apparently not.  How do I change it.  I don't THINK I have a "master password" on the thing.  I've never used one on any of

    I haven't used my IMac in a long time and went to boot it up, and I find I don't remember the correct username and password (I use several computers..I try to keep the passwords similar, with a number for the chronological order in which I started using them) I've tried all the others I use for passwords. The 'hint" keeps coming up for the password I am pretty sure is the correct one, but, still cannot get in.  I also don't remember whether I changed my surname on the computer...it was changed legally a little while ago, but some of my older devices still have my birth-name in there)
    HELP
    I don't think I ever set up a "master password" on the thing...I never use those.  I am the only person with access to my personal devices.
    thanks

  • I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it

    Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in.  I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working.  It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • I know exactly what my restrictions passcode is meant to be (I have even written it down) but it has strangely changed itself. I cannot delete apps anymore.

    I know exactly what my restrictions passcode is meant to be (I have even written it down) but it has strangely changed itself. I cannot delete apps anymore and it has been getting on my nerves. I am worried that I will lose my purchased films and books and my pages documents if I perform a factory restore. What do I do?

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
    Restore the Device as New...

    OR...
    from a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

  • Want stream Netflix to blueray via Airport Express wifi. The blueray finds my wifi but the wireless connection failed - said, Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router. Don't think I have DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

    Want to stream Netflix to blueray player via my existing Airport Express wifi. The player finds my wifi but the wireless connection fails - says, " Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router." I don't think I have a DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

    I can't speak specifically regarding LG, but the Whole Home feature on Direct TV (record a movie on one DVR and watch it on another TV in another location) just won't work with wireless, and I have a strong fast connection at 300 Mbps. Ethernet works perfectly.
    Few audio/video products will accept "n" wireless at 5 GHz. I suspect that your LG accepts a 2.4 GHz signal, which would top out at 130 Mpbs.
    If you are trying to stream High Definition video, especially at 1080P, my opinion would be that it is unlikely that you will be able to do so reliably using wireless.
    Perhaps another user who has figured out how to do this will post with some input.

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

    This is a user-to-user forum.  I don't work for Adobe.
    Like I said before, you can log-in to Adobe's site and retrieve your product info and serial number.

    CS6 is the last product version you could purchase outright.  There is no CS7.  Going forward, everything is Creative Cloud based now.

    If your product was pre-CS6, keep in mind that Mac Yosemite 10.10 is probably not going to be compatible with older versions of Photoshop as they are no longer receiving updates.

  • My Mac Pro all of a sudden would not turn on. It beebs 3 times, pauses, and then does it again. I don't think I have downloaded anything recently and I don't know what to do!

    My Mac Pro all of a sudden would not turn on. It beebs 3 times, pauses, and then does it again. I don't think I have downloaded anything recently and I don't know what to do!

    3 beeps usually means a Ram problem, have you added or removed Ram recently?
    And I will assume that you do not have a Mac Pro, but that you have a portable, a MacBook Pro.

    Perian 1.2.3 *should* work for both QuickTime & and QTX in Mountain Lion. Regardless of the filetype container, whether it is a Matroska (.mkv) or a .mov. As to the actual encoding of the file (h264, .mp2, whatever..) I have found most play, even older formats.
    Even though it's no longer supported and is a dead project, it works just fine. It will load as a System Preference file and adds to the Other category in them.
    I think in 10.8 you've still got support for QTX so it may work with that. (in Mavericks, it only works for QT7)
    If not, just run QuickTime 7.6.6.

    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.
