HT1212 I forgot my iphone passcode so im trying to restore it, but everytime i plug my iphone into iTunes it tells me to enter the phone passcode that I DONT KNOW. HElP!!!!

I downnloaded the new ios7 on my iphone today when it was done i locked my iphone and there was a passcode on it, wjich wasnt on there before i updated to ios7. I have no idea what the passcode is so my last opyion is restoring i, i believe, but every time i try and sync my iphone to itunes it tells me to enter the passcode on my phone before i can access it on itunes. i tried typing in random passcodes on my phone in hopes that it would finally say "connect to itunees" but i have done it several times now and still nothing. please help!!!

You need to restore it. If it doesn't work on our current computer, try borrowing someone else's. If your iPhone is jailbroken then you are pretty much screwed. Also, you should try putting it in DFU, which would restore it thoroughly. Follow these steps:
Plug your device into your computer
Turn off the device by holding the Sleep/Wake or Power button and swiping it off
Hold the power button for 3 seconds
Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds
Release the power button and continue holding the home button until you get a popup from iTunes that your device is recognized as being in recovery mode.

I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone. Which i have already done!!

I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone or restore it. I have already set it up and tried to restore it again thinking this might help but i still keep getting the same message. The phone is recognised and shows up in devices but i cannpt sync apps or anything to it.

Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

My Ipad went into disable mode after my grandchild entered the wrong passcode several times. I have never synced this IPad, and I have so many photos on the Ipad that I do not want to lose. I have the correct password, is there anyway to enable the IPad

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

HT1212 My iPod is disabled because of invalid pin entry, I know the pin and when I connect it to itunes it tells me to enter the pin, but on the iPod there is no option to do so. It just says disabled.

The iPod displays a "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes" When I connect to iTunes, iTunes tells me to enter the pin on the ipod. No option is ever displayed to enter my pin. What do I do.

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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT1206 we have only one computer and we are a family of four how do i keep my music apart from my kids music on itunes ? all of us have different id's and passwords but everytime we plug my iphone or their ipod touch we end up having the same apps ,games

how do I keep my music on itunes apart from my kids? everytime I connect my ipod to my computer I end up with a lot of apps and all thier songs on my iphone.

Do you mean you all have different AppleIDs? But, do you also have different user accounts on the computer?
Simplest thing is just give everyone their own user account on the computer - they log into their account and sync their devices from only their account. Keeps everything separate and neat.

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.

I have an iphone 4 and i forgot it's restriction passcode, i can't restore it and also can't update it. is there any other way to reset the restriction passcode?

i want to reset my iphone to came back to it's factory setting, but it needs restriction passcode and i can not remember it, i can not even restore my iphone to get rid of this problem, is there any other way to turn off restriction passcode?

The only way to get rid of the restrictions passcode is to restore the device. Why can you not restore the device. The restrictions passcode will not prevent you from restoring, only the regular 4-digit passcode to enter the phone can do that. If that is your problem, then see this support document for instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

3 If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

5 If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:
