My little children Majd entered the wrong passcode for more than 10 times, my iPhone automatically got reset all data was deleted. I managed to retrieve the contacts only but I'm unable to retrieve my SMS's and my photos???? Can you help me please ???
Hi,
Did you ever back up your phone on the computer?
Did you use photo stream at all?
May I suggest changing your passcode lock to a letters and numbers lock (if not all ready it will make your iphone more secure and a restore lock otion shouldent be needed). Then change your setting as well preventing restore after ten incorect passwords.

My Ipad went into disable mode after my grandchild entered the wrong passcode several times. I have the correct passcode, but I have never synced the IPad. It says Connect to Itunes Diable Ipad. I have many pictures I do not want to lose and I have never backed up. Is there a way to open the Ipad without losing all of my pictures or data.
You should be able to recover any pictures you have taken on your iPad (in Camera Roll), but not application data etc, by connecting, via USB not wifi , to your computer.
If you are using a mac, connect your iPad, if iTunes automatically launches close it, run iPhoto and wait till your iPad is shown under Devices, you can then import all or selected photos.
If you are using Windows, again connect and close iTunes if it starts. Then browse the device using explorer, your photos will be shown on the device in My Computer held in a folders under DCIM (or something similar), you can copy and paste them into which ever folder you want on the PC.
The rest I'm afraid is gone unless you can remember the passcode, sorry.
Hope all goes well.
Cheers

My daughter has entered the wrong passcode too many times on her iPOD Touch, it is now disabled. When I connect to iTunes, it will not let me go any further until I enter the correct passcode. I no longer get the option to do this, all I get is iPOD disabled. Help Please
Restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

iTunes keeps on saying I'm entering the wrong passcode for Remote, which I'm certain I'm not. What can I do?
Enter the correct passcode.
If running a current version of iTunes and using the same Apple ID on the remote app and in iTunes, there is no need or prompt for a passcode. -

I have recently switched to icloud. Lately I have not been able to receive emails. A msg comes up asking me to reenter my password. Perhaps I am entering the wrong password and have forgotten what it is. How can I find my old password or change it and get my .mac account email working again?
If it was setup using your iPhone and your Apple ID then as far as the iCloud team will be able to find out, you set it up. Passwords cannot be retrieved.
Change all passwords on accounts associated with your iPhone. -

Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

My iPad2 was being used by my wife. She put a passcode on it. She hasn't used this iPad for a while and forgot the passcode. She entered what she thought was the 4 digit passcode but the iPad did not accept it. She tried different combinations and eventually disabled the iPad. Now it has this message: "iPad is disabled connect to iTunes". I connected it to iTunes and iTunes is asking for the passcode to be entered into the iPad before it can be synced? I can't enter the passcode because the iPad is disabled. Please help how I can solve this. Thanks.
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and resync/restore your content to it.
