HT1212 how do i restore a disabled iphone 4s cause its locked now and itunes wont sync up to it
how do i fix or restore a disabled iphone 4s thats locked due to someone putting in the wrong passcode to many times
Hi, moviekid826.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This is normal behavior as a device will remove itself from recovery mode after 15 minutes. I would recommend processing the steps in the article below. Once this is done, disconnect the device and allow the iOS to download. After the iOS completes the download process these steps again.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode and Itunes wont recognize
So i was restoring my Iphone 4s and when it went into recovery mode Itunes stoped recognizing it. So i tired going and trying to find the apple mobile device driver but it isnt in the universal bus drivers section. So i plugged in my iphone and it showed up under other as "Iphone (recovery mode)" with a yellow exclamation point. I tried to update automatically and manually but both of them say access denied. I have no means of communication without my phone so can someone please guide me through this??

IPhone 5s recovery mode not working AND itunes wont connect phone!
I opened iTunes whilst my phone was plugged into my pc via USB and was told to update the software so I did.
During the process of updating I noticed my phone screen was an image of a usb pointing to an itunes icon.
I researched what the symbol meant and why i couldnt turn my phone back on and found out i need to do the recovery instructions.
THEY ARE NOT WORKING.
I have tried many times but iTunes is still not noticing that my iphone5s is plugged in.
PLEASE HELP ME!

HT201328 How do I unlock a disabled iphone?
How do I unlock a disabled iphone?
The article I linked specifically says "iPhone is disabled". And there is a reference to 'lock' on that page, at the bottom:
Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
There's even a picture.
Also, that article links to another article about Using Passcodes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4113
Which refers to a 'lock' and' 'unlock' multiple times.
Or, hey, that article has a link to Find My iPhone overview... which ALSO refers to 'locking' an iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
Use Lost Mode to lock and track your device
Oh, and THAT article also links to Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695 which also has a lot of references to 'lock'. Heh, it's even in the TITLE.
Are you going to keep trying to say that "The ONLY time you 'unlock' a phone is with a carrier."?
You are wrong. That is not the only time you 'unlock' an iPhone.
The OP asked: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
A phone locked to a carrier is not disabled. It can be used with that carrier.
Unlocking a disabled iPhone refers to when the passcode has been entered too many times.
There is a passcode lock function for iPhones.
To unlock an iPhone that is passcode locked, you need to enter the passcode.
Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and it becomes disabled.
The only thing about the OP's post that even suggests this is an issue about carrier unlocking is the article he linked from, which is most likely explained because he seached for 'unlock iphone'. First Google result is the article he linked from.
But a carrier locked phone is not DISABLED. You are ignoring that part of the OP's post, and focusing on the word 'unlock', which has multiple meanings.
The most likely issue is a passcode lock on the phone, which was entered incorrectly too many times, and thus, the iPhone is disabled.
Just like the OP said: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
Being 'locked' to a carrier has NOTHING to do with an iPhone being disabled. Restricted to use on that particular carrier? Yes. Disabled? No. -

How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?
how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?
When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button. -

How do i find a recent backup from on icloud. i don't want to restore on my iphone, just view on my Pc and keep as file. looking for pics and video i recorded thanks
The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network. The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network. Otherwise, you have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.
