HT1212 I CHANGED MY PASSWORD WHEN I HAD RESET MY IPHONE NOW I CANT ACTIVATE AGAIN AS IT SHOWS "' CANNOT BE USED TO UNLOCK THIS IPHONE"'
hello sir
i recently changed my password and when i had reset my iphone now cant activate my iphone again
please help me on this issue
I CHANGED MY APPLE ID PASSWORD
You need to contact the seller. If they are the original owner of the phone, they need to remove the device from their iCloud. You cannot get past Activation Lock. Only the original Apple ID and password used to activate the device can be used. If you cannot get the original owner, then return the phone for a refund. It will be useless to you.
This explains Activation Lock to you http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 and this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515 explains what it is that you have to try and do. Either way, it requires the original Apple ID and password.

Hogwash, as such is impossible.
Doesn't matter though, as you won't be able to use this phone, & Apple can't/won't help you. -
I was prompted to change my password as I had been hacked. Now, my ipad won't recognize the new password. I have deleted and readded the account. It still won't accept the new password. PLEASE HELP!!!

i can't activate my iPad and I'm sure i am using the correct apple id and password but when i press net it says it cannot be used to unlock this
You can try to figure out which Apple ID/email address and/or password you used to activate it by going to http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't, you'll need to contact Apple Account Security with your proof of purchase. -
i forgot my password to sign on my ipod and now it says ipod is disabled please connect to itunes. however, it wont letme pass that screen. how do i reboot this ipod?
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 -

please help.
Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone. -

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks -

How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.
If you are saying that the iPod asks for the password for the network and you do not know it, what may work is to turn on iCloud keychain for the iPod and iPad., Thet may sync the password from the iPad to the iPod

How do I change the password that connects my Outlook for iPhone app with my Exchange server?
I changed my domain password so I needed to change it on my iPhone Outlook app. I have looked everywhere I can think of, in the settings and everywhere else, and cannot find anything that will allow me to change the password. I had to uninstall and re-install.
This seems ridiculous to me.
Corey CarmickleHi,
Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, I'd recommend you post your question to the Office for iPhone forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_mobile-outlook-os_device_iphone?tab=Threads
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
I would very much like to get "the most qualified pool of respondents". However, in the link you supplied there is NO place to ask a question. There was someone who asked a similar question and the response was from a Microsoft Support Engineer pointing
him to yet another place "for better suggestions". This site is setup like some gigantic maze where when you can't answer a simple question like; Where can I change my domain password in the new Outlook App for iPhones? You pass us around until you
figure it out, or we give up, delete the app and start feeling like not everyone over at Microsoft has a brain. I apologize for the frustration level, but when I do this kind of thing for a living and it becomes this difficult, I can't imagine what most of
Microsoft's endusers feel. 'Thank you for your understanding.'
