How to restore disabled iPhone to computer that i have never synced with

My iPhone 4s is disabled i have a new laptop that i have never synced with what can i do to get my iPhone restored to the original settings ?

You have to restore your phone as new to use it again.
That is the only option you'll have since you don't have a backup in iTunes, if you have a icloud backup you can restore from that and get your data back.
Otherwise you can only sync back your purchased items in iTunes.

  • HT1212 Reset does not work on disabled Ipod touch.  I did the never synced device option on a computer that we have never synced with.  Still says try again in 22,462,172 minutes.  Itunes says it cannot sync also.  Any ideas???

  • HT1212 I got "ipad is disabled, connect to itunes". I have never synced my ipad with itune and don't have a backup. how can I bypass this message without restoring the device. I have many articles on my ipad that I can not afford to loose.

    I have upgraded my ipad2 to the latest ios. shortly after this message came up: "ipad is disabled, connect to itunes". I have never synced my ipad2 to itunes and don't have any backup. Is there any way to bypass this without restoring the device? I have many articles on "iAnnotate" that can not afford to loose.

    You can't bypass it, you will need to connect iPad to a computer's iTunes, and you may need to put it into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad, which will remove all content from it.
    You haven't been backing up to the cloud either, and/or keeping copies of important documents/files elsewhere e.g. on your email account, Dropbox etc ?

  • HT1420 How can I deauthorize an old computer that I have no access to?

    How can I deauthorize an old computer that I have no access to?

    You cannot yourself deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so unless you've hit that limit it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit now. Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems, so that would at that time recover the now-useless authorization.
    If for some reason you really feel you need to deauthorize a system and you're not at the five-system limit, you can try contacting  the iTunes Store customer support department through their Contact form (follow the on-screen instructions)  and explaining the problem to them. They might be willing to clear your authorizations for you.
    Regards

  • HT1478 I found my old iPod that I haven't used since about 2010, and I no longer have the computer that the library was synced with. Is there any way to get my music off of it so that I can put it on my new iPod?

    I found my old iPod that I haven't used since about 2010, and I no longer have the computer that the library was synced with. Is there any way to get my music off of it so that I can put it on my new iPod? The old one is a 30 GB from 2005.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

  • HT1212 I followed the I have never synced with itunes directions, and I appear to have lost everything that was on my itouch.  Now what?

    This is the most frustrating site and instructions.  I got locked out of my iTouch and had to do a system restore.  I followed the directions for having never synced with itunes directions, as I inheireted this itouch from my dad and when I tryed to sync before it looked like I would wipe out everything on it, which I DID NOT want to do.  Now, after following the directions, I have wiped out everything that was on it, pictures, songs,...is there anyway to restore what was on the itouch?

    Looking at those directions I am not seeing the device in itunes.  Here is what I followed from:  iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode under if you have never synced your device with itunes.
    "Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device."
    From:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5229504
    So I followed these directions and in step number 5 it was uploading (I believe) for about 30 minutes.  When that was over there was no other directions and the device was still locked.  So I repeated the steps.  This time it restored the device, but when I get on it, I lost all music and pictures, along with a few apps.  The apps are no big deal as they were free downloads, so I can redo those with no problems.  Trying to follow your directions above and clicking through the links, my main problem is that I have no devices showing in itunes.  I just down loaded it today, so it is the latest version.  So what now?

  • Ipad is disabled i do not have the computer that it was last synced with

    I have an ipad 2 that is disabled because the password was punched in wrong several times.  I am on vacation and do not have the computer that it was last synched with.  Can I restore it another way?

    Well, you are not going to get anywhere until you erase the Ipad at this point.. The bright spark screwed you. you can check and see if you have an icloud backup if you have another device that uses the same icloud. Managing your iCloud storage
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    Use Find My iPhone
    If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
    Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'llrestore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.

  • If I was to restore my iPhone on a computer that does not have my back up on it could I later restore it to the computer that does have my back up on it?

    Hey Everyone!
    I've been having the worst luck with my updating my iPhone 5 to the new update 7.1.1. In order to recieve the new update or use my phone at all I have to restore my phone and then use one of the previous backups on my computer. The thing is my phone will never complete the entire restore so I keep having to start over when there is 20 mins. left. I was thinking that maybe it is my computer. If I were to restore it on a different computer would I be able to use the previous back up that I have on my other computer?
    PLEASE ANSWER THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE
    Thank you,
    Chelle616

    Hello Chelle616,
    You would want to clean restore your iPhone, then update it like it were a new iPhone and then restore it with one of your backups. Do let me know if still have doubts
