HT1212 i have forgotten my passcode and i have tried the restore option but it just wont work

I tried restoring it but it wont work it just keeps coming up with the sign saying "you cant use itunes with this device until you put in passcode". And its getting really fustrating please help

If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

    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.

  • Hello i am having trouble installing itunes 10.5 on my laptop i have windows vista. it says error 7 windows error 998. i now have no itunes. i have tried to uninstall itunes but it still wont work and keep coming up with that message. please help!

    hello
    i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
    i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
    i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!

    Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
    Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
    Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
    I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
    itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
    A search of these forums will show some threads.
    I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
    I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
    Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
    Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.

    do you have any suggestions? Im about to give up, i can't even access wireless have to use a dsl
    pretty sad

    ... this same name and password doesn't work as an administrators password when i want to download or change things.
    It's probably that your Keychain password is not the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • HT1339 My iPod classic shows that memory full in "other" category however there is nothing on it. I have left it connected all day and over night trying to restore it but the progress bar  never goes away.

    My iPod classic shows that memory full in other category however there is nothing on it. I have left it connected all day and over night trying to restore it but the progress bar  never goes away. Is it shot or are there other options to restore to factory settings?

    Hi pbworth,
    When troubleshooting issues with iPod classic, it may be helpful to place the iPod into Disk Mode. For information on how to do so:

  • I am unable to open my iphotos have tried the command,option hold down thing and nothing can open my photo libary but no the iphonts, can't get photos off my camera or iphone onto my mac.?

    I am unable to open my iphoto, have tried the command, option hold down, nothing, can't get my photos off my camera or my iphone, but i used to be able to?

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
    Step 2
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 3
    From the App Store menu bar, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 4
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 5
    Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

    I have the same problem but the solution Wendyz99 did has not been successful for me. Part of the itunes store loads on the right side where the tabs for Quick Links and Top Charts are but the center section of the page is white. Also if I click on a song that is in the top chart area it will take me to the page but I'm not able to purchase the song or preview the song.
    I feel I have tried all the solutions I can find on line and even had conversations with apple tech with no help.
    I have down loaded the Autoruns program and in the winstock providers I have Bonjour and Microsoft Windows Live ID Namespace Provider. I have removed Windows Live and this still does not resolve the problem. I am at a complete loss. I am running windows 7, 32bit. Someone please help!

    Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
    Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
    Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
    Your device should prompt with the "Connect to iTunes Screen"

  • I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    Try ReSynching to iTunes.  If you set up sync to the cloud, turn that off, resync to your PC.  That should bring them back.  You can then turn on sync to cloud again. 
    You may, however, want to re-think that.  There is a lot of chatter about the cloud being the source of some if not many of the battery issues.  Personally, I decided to rurn the cloud off until the Battery-gate issue is resolved.
    Good Luck.

  • I forgot my iPad password and I have tried to restore it but I am unable to because it says it is unable to because i'm connected to Find My iPad!

    I forgot my iPad password and I have tried to restore it but I am unable to because it says it is unable to because i'm connected to Find My iPad! I need to get onto my iPad because for some assignments I use my iPad. I want to preferably factory reset it.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad
