HT1212 disabled iPhone. cannot enter a passcode. don't want to reset it.
can anyone help unlock my disabled iphone 4? it's stuck on the iphone disabled screen. i cannot put in a passcode. i've already tried to turn it off/on and recharged it. i don't want to reset it cuz i haven't backed any of my stuff up and don't want to lose it all.
Yep. Anything that hadn't been synced or backed up somewhere else.
If you set it up to back up to iCloud, those backups occur automatically without user intervention when it's connected to WiFi and a power source. You may want to enable this after you set it back up again...

If you have an iTunes backup that includes the photos you may be able to extract them from the backup using a 3rd party utility such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

The iphone cannot be synced. you don't have enough access privileges for this operation
the iphone cannot be synced. you don't have enough access privileges for this operation
contacts ,calander and notes get syncronised but apps do not . at 4 stage above message comeIf you still want to sync your photos try this instead:
1. Go to the Pictures folder in the Finder window (Pictures usually appears under Favorites in the sidebar of the Finder window)
2. **Locate the iPhoto Library file and Right click on the file and select Show Package Contents.
3. Locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete it.
4. Try the sync process again, it should work.
** Sometimes the iPod Photo Cache folder is simply in the Pictures folder and step 2 is not necessary -

I'd like to know if I can download viber on my 3.1 3GS iphone or not. I don't want to update my Iphone's version,so is it possible to have viber on 3.1? even if all my previous apps get deleted?
The minimum version required for Viber is 3.1, though it is always important to stay up to date. Why is it that you do not want to download the latest version?

I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 and now i don't want the jailbreak any more so i restored the iphone without iTunes and then it turned it self off and now its stuck on the black screen with the loading sign. So please how can i turn my iPhone on again?
I figured it out by pressing the home button and the off button but when i turn my phone on again it's not restored. And when i try to restore it with iTunes it has to update but i can't update my phone because it's jailbreaked but if i can't update it, it won't restore the phone.

I'm trying to decrease the amount of music on my phone. It says space not available although I'm decreasing the amount of music. I don't want to reset it if possible.
Hi charlatan19,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand the need to free up space on your iPhone sometimes. Please use the attached article that explains how to delete content from your device directly or using your computer.

Every few minutes it gives me a "not responding" message and/or it crashes. I've checked all my add-ons, they're all updated. I've tried accessing the same websites that crash on Firefox with other browsers and it works really well. I don't want to reset it as one of the troubleshooting solutions suggest because I'd rather change to another browser than having to re-install all my add-ons. Please, is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Also try to disable hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Lost password on IPad one and I don't want to reset
Hi everyone,
I lost my old IPad password 4 digit. I don't want to reset/restore, as I have tons of photos on it. Is there a way to reset the password, can Apple do it?
Thanks,
JeanThe computer I used to synch on is long gone. That's the thing with theses IPads they're easy to store...
Well the lesson is mine. I just have 9999 combination to try out every 30min,
Thanks,

Is there a way to backup the iphone without entering a passcode that was previously set?
I have a passcode on my iphone, which I recently dropped. Both the front and back screens are cracked severely. I can see when someone txts / calls, so the phone appears to be working, however it is not usable. I cannot access anything on the phone using the touch screen. The screen continues to shake as if there are multiple fingers trying to operate it at once.
Although it would be nice to get back into the phone, I would prefer being able to back it up just one more time. I sync frequently to icloud, but the last time I backed it up to my pc was 11/16/2011. I can access everything I've backed up(txts, images, etc via other applications), but I have some important correspendeces that took place between then and now that I would like to have.
Is there way for me to backup the phone without entering the passcode? Also, I have read through some of the discussions, and pardon my ignorance but I wanted an unequivocal answer to this question: If I restore the phone from the backup of 11/16, will I lose everything after that date? And, are there other alternatives?
I have tried some things which I thought would be clever ways to bypass this problem, but alas...here I am asking for help. I find it frustrating that I can sync to icloud (still) yet I cannot backup to my pc without passcode. I guess a good alternative would be if I could access my txts on icloud? I may consider replacing the screen, but I don't know if this will fix the problem since the phone looks pretty bad. I also prefer not to replace the screen since I wont be using this phone any longer.
Your comments / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
reaLRestoring a phone from a backup will put the device back to the state it was when the backup took place, i.e. all info that you had on that phone before using the backup will be gone.
You could try to restore the phone, which will back up the actual data on the phone, including the passcode, and use this backup to set up a new phone with. The passcode will still be the same, because it is part of the backup.
More info here, iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Not being able to fill in the passcode is not much different from forgetting it.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Also have a look at this one: iTunes: About iOS backups -
iPhone 4s. 64GB. Recently installed iOS 8. The problem happened suddenly upon booting the phone. The screen content image is expanded way beyond the size of the screen. Therefore almost nothing is visible. It is possible to move different parts of the content into view, but this is very limited. Using fingers to try to shrink the screen content image does not work. I have tried booting by holding down the start button and the home button together. I still get the expanded screen content image. Finally, because of this problem I am unable to enter my passcode. Unfortunately I do not have a backup on my MacBook Air. iTunes will not recognize my iPhone because I have not entered the passcode.

It sounds like the Zoom feature may have been activated on your iPhone. I know the Zoom can be very frustrating when you cannot turn it off. Please follow the steps in the following article to disable the Zoom accessibility feature.

I no longer have the computer I used to sync my Ipod Touch when it was new. Now the Ipod is locked and disabled and Itunes requests me to enter the passcode which I cannot do becasue the Ipod is locked! Any suggestions?
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
